Music in Film: The Half of It (2020) dir. Alice Wu

Displacement

Displacement is blue in colour,

with streaks of green in the corners.

Sometimes displacement becomes

the faded lines between black tyre tracks

on busy roads that I’m afraid of.

Displacement is also a rude nudge

that makes my numb foot wake up

in thousands of little pricks of

invisible needles.

Displacement is the distance

Between one home and other,

When the other is not home yet.

But sometimes,

Displacement can just be

equal to the value of

velocity into time.

For Christmas, I was given another bookshelf and I was running out of room so I am so happy with this gift. This also meant I got to reorganise all my books which is always fun! I may still move some stuff around, but right now I’ve organised them loosely by genre. There’s real world with no magic, real world with magic aspects, and full fantasy sections, and then I have a shelf each for mythology (including all my Rick Riordan books), classics, tarot/Maggie Stiefvater/poetry, and shadowhunters. My bookshelves now take up like half of my room and I’m exited to play around with them more.

I am thankful for the way you slip me metaphors like medicine on days when I forget to see the sky.

Let the reading begin!

From Singaporean scandals to very spicy laksa, Rich People Problems is clearly the right book to begin 2018 with.

As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.

Yes. Much more succinct.

I had a teacher in Highschool who, for 3 years, I admired greatly. Then one day she said to me that she was one of the smartest people I would ever meet.

I didn’t know how to tell her that I didn’t respect smarts, I respected wisdom. My respect dropped greatly for her after that.
