Every time I re log in on Tumblr, it is to address a new obsession.

Here is one more galactic beauty I can't get enough of.

Keep saying you hate me. Because I know that you love me.

Love ❣️

I'm a collection of my experiences.

Good or Bad

We all confine try to confine ourselves to certain aesthetics and ideals and even single out of the blue thing startles us.

I, for one want to be an addicted to rock bands, intellectual tv shows, literature wannabe person who loves astronomy and education.

But there are times that nothing conforms to anything. Most of the times we're told that intelligent and beautiful don't go simultaneously. And that kind of thing builds up forever your life making it actually true. And how can it be any different, you've imagined it your whole life. And thus it's true, society wins, Society : 1 You : 0

But the society is also just in your head, whatever you keep telling yourself is what society is going to be telling you.

So I was taking this moment to remind myself that I can be beautiful and I can do Math and I can love Green Day and Dan and Phil at the same time. It doesn't matter if a romantic life don't appeal to me and all I care about is a well lived future.

And so I wanted to write this to tell myself a few things

Starting with MATH
