My Favourite Tracks From The Merlin Soundtrack

To the one person who still didn't understand,

AN A MINUS IS NOT A BAD GRADE. AND WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THAT.

The kids who are talking about their problems here are LITERALLY gifted or topper kids.

The problem is with expectations. They're not saying that the A minus itself shattered them. They're saying the weight of all the standards and expectations are heavy as is, and that A minus breaks their back.

Teachers expect from us to push ourselves us to do our best. Our parents support us and send us to school to study and do our best. Our classmates and friends help us when in doubt. That's the supposed norm.

But there are people out there who have more expectations hanging off of them. Whose teachers expect them to understand more than they teach, whose parents do not seem to understand how a kid who scored well in 1st grade isnt doing so well in 10th grade, whose classmates congratulate themselves when they do better than them.

Now is it clearer?

There Is One In Each Classroom

bell hooks spoke about her disdain for the phrase “i’ve fallen in love” and calls for its change to “i’ve chosen love”, “i am loving”, “i am love” and my heart has softened since i read those words.

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you. You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music.

Help each other be safe out there

“There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe… and you.”

— Beau Taplin

It is foolish to assume man has only one personality, and the sooner one realizes this, the better.
