I went to a party on Saturday and ended up kissing a guy I work with.. whyyy would I do that? I DON’T KNOW. I had a few drinks and he was really pretty and flirty and so I kissed him. How will i face him at work? Clearly I didn’t think this through. What will I say? “Oh sorry. Yeah I just wanted a kiss in the moment. Hope we’re cool.” 🧍🏾‍♀️

We were supposed to go to the gym together but now idk. I don’t want to lead him on romantically but I would like to pursue a friendship with him. I guess I need to find out how he feels first and then see where I’ll go from there. Hopefully I don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Omg 🤦🏾‍♀️

the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

[soracities]

love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:

It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.

He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.

He is obviously my most favorite painter ever.

Hi ma'am, plz suggest some beginner level(A1-A2) poems and songs.

Hello,

I tried to find beginner poetry when I wrote the masterpost but most adult things felt too complicated. If you really want to go for it, I would recommend children's poetry, by Maurice Carème, and some Jacques Prévert.

In terms of songs:

Anything Henri Dès - for kids as well:

If you're looking for simple songs so you can translate them, I suppose mainstream music like Louane's and older stuff like Claude François, Michel Delpech, Mike Brant... could work.

Now, if you've been wanting to sing:

Hope this helps! x
