No Trace of Echo

Personal blog of Juli S. I'm a grad student, currently living in Paris. Just trying to pass the time. I wanted to blog but don't have the commitment to make proper entries.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness. That is life.

Start ignoring people who threaten your joy. Literally, ignore them. Say nothing. Don’t invite any parts of them into your space.

There weren’t many people in this world who would let you be vulnerable and still believe you were strong.

this makes me so fucking happy

those rare occasions when I have to deal with reality like a semi-responsible adult just make me so

I think the most dangerous word in the English language is ‘should.’ I ‘should’ have done this. Or I ‘should’ do that. ‘Should’ implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.

This is just a really special moment for humanity. We take you to the website for Fox 101.9, a radio station in Melbourne, Australia, where "Web Guy Josh" has published a peppy, harmless instructional post for the making of an "Amazing Rainbow Tie-Dye Number Surprise Cake."

Music is such a personal thing, such a lucky thing. When a song hits you, if it catches you, the stars have to be aligned. If you hear it at the wrong time or at the wrong age, you’re never going to fucking get it.

Helplessness is endearing Because if you're helpless, you can wish for someone Please save me, with a white rose. The pain can be shared, I want the strength to be able to do that

First post

So I recently came to the realization that I have no friends. Which means I don't have people to socialize with. Which means I have way too much free time on my hands. (And I say "free time" because, let's be honest, I'm not gonna be spending my time this summer being productive or writing my thesis!) One of the things recommended to me was to start a blog...except, again, that whole thing about putting in effort and it was overall too much of a commitment. So tumblr microblogging it is!
