we desperately need more realistic and critical studyblr and not "studying will make u rich u can win at capitalism if u just work hard enough"

“you should be at the club” Brother I should literally be sent to the seaside for my health

listen to me: you DO NOT always need to give it your 100%. you really do not. because let’s be honest, you’re human and you’re simply not always going to be able to. there are days when you can only give it your 80%. or your 50%, or heck, even your 10%. and THAT IS OKAY. only skimming one paragraph, only solving one equation, only memorizing 5 words is better than not doing anything because you have this idea in your head that things are only worth doing when you can give what you consider to be your 100%. 10% is better than 0% and some days that is all you can give. it will still add up, and you will still succeed, i promise.

personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

Characters have internal monologues, they describe the world they way they see it and what’s important to them. This is not even at the level of a screenplay, which does include various cues around body language, facial expressions, the environment they’re shooting in. You have less detail than that. That’s not a story.

it costs $0.00 to be a kind human being

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way
