"I'll research now"

* wastes 12 hours playing stupid mobile games and YouTube videos so I don't feel a single emotion *

"I WILL SURELY RESEARCH NOW"

* starts violently sobbing listening to sad songs that trigger me *

Guys where am I going wrong? I have a submission tomorrow that I haven't even started researching for. Like I didn't even find articles yet 😊😊

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, there will be a tree outside your bedroom window. It is very important to romanticize this tree as much as possible.

Grief is the only proof that I love and I love well. Love and grief are actually intertwined with each other and as "Akif Kichloo" once wrote, "the opposite of grief is not laughter or happiness or joy. It is love. It is love. It is love."

[fairydrowning]

"Grief is love's souvenir. It's our proof that we once loved. Grief is the receipt we wave in the air that says to the world: Look! Love was once mine. I love well. Here is my proof that I paid the price."

– Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior

Link to Part 1, Audio Description under the cut:

How does this benefit us (queer people)? Our only question is everyone participates when Pride is nearing There's a variety of designs, engaging in makeup and costumes! Look at me & Aravind, We have been sloganing, "We want our Rights!" for the last 20 years What impact our voice has had.. in media and other spaces Nobody advocates on television, in the media. We have those conversations. We speak up. We are the middle class. We are from the streets. We speak up. How do you not consider to think about this? We agree that you have an education. Please join us, sit with us, fight for our rights. We all have to work on this. [ applause ]

There's one more thing. I am a trans person. What is very important here (in India), Caste- Class. It is very Important. Meaning, who knows English, they don't face a problem. Pride for them is dress up, covering, and what not We are the ones who fight on the roads, We are the ones who beg, it is all of us. When engaging in sex work, the police who catches us, the wealthy are unharmed. They book rooms in 3-star, 5-star hotels and engage in their trade We don't have a problem at all. In the fight for gender issues, and fight for trans rights; everyone must participate. They attend only pride, Amma! In pairs of two, all couples They dress up, wear make-up, and then leave.
