bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
my goal for 2025 is small simple and clear: change my whole entire life
i love things that come in glass jars because once its over the glass jar is mine

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“
Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.
nothing better than the wrong capitalization of Sie

Gotta start treating english like monolinguistic english speakers treat other languages
Did you know English doesn't have a word for the Irish word 'mar'? Instead they have to say 'is the cause' of or 'because' for short
On this, i think its HILARIOUS that English lost the singular/plural you distinction and like, unanimously, almost every dialect re-evolved a plural you pronoun, be it ye, yall, yis, yous
[ID: tags reading #sure I'll hop on this #english doesn't even have 'tu' AND 'jūs' #imagine having only one 'you' which has to be used for one person and for multiple people]

english doesn't make a distinction between ser and estar and have to make do with to be
eu sou feliz(i am happy) and eu estou feliz(i am happy) are so, so different
This proves that the native english speaker can't distinguish between permanent and transient states, forever stuck in a flow of existence where all states of being carry the same weight. This cognitive dysfunction explains not only the political but also socioeconomic turmoils in the lands where english speakers are native.
not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

Madrugada is such a beautiful word the english language is kinda lame for not having it
"Wee hours of the night"
"at the crack of dawn"
Are some of the ways I personally translate it
Doesn't hit the same. the way it sounds the way it tastes the way it looks. irreplaceable.
#The fact that you use multiple words is the whole reason it's not the same
#Madrugada is not even just dawn
#Madrugada is that moment of the day where the light is starting to trickle in and — up in the mountains you can see that beautiful mist
#And it's such a nice cold
#And of course the very beginning is so very dark and that cold is sharper but you're cozy and can tell soon it'll be light
#I love waking up early ok?
#Anyways for anyone confused *amanecer* is dawn
#Madrugada and the adjacent verb — madrugar — don't really exist in English #Which i think is a shame
#Madrugar and trasnochar are very dear to me but apparently english speakers didn't do either enough to give them words
To be fair, trasnochar would be "pulling an all-nighter" so they technically have that term too? But its a lot of words. Again.
They dont have that beautiful quirk of spanish of making everything a verb 😔
(Therefore having lots of one word nouns)
