“chuffed doesnt mean what you think it means”

it means exactly what i think it means its just some stupid word that literally has two definitions that mean the opposite thing

[mysterysnake-deactivated2013122]

what the hell

[ashwilliamsrighthand]

This makes me really chuffed

[pameladoove-deactivated20180821]

These are called contronyms! A word that is its own opposite.

[rubes-dragon-deactivated2024030]

Why the fuck do these exist

[operativesurprise]

One theory is that the sarcastic use of the word became exceedingly prevalent and because another dictionary definition.

Staying inspired - but how?

For me it’s always been hard to stay inspired, so over time I collected some methodes and ways to get that damn inspiration back again. Inspiration is one of the biggest drives behind what I do - whether I’m being inspired by someone or I want to be the one to inspire others. So staying inspired is key for motivation, in my case. Here’s some ways that could help you stay inspired:

StudySpo (duh)

I know this should go without saying, but the studyblr community is one of my biggest inspirations. All of the studyblrs I see with their beautifuly aesthetics, bullet journals and study spaces make me want to be the same. But (!) it can be hard to see all of this on your dash and feel like you’re never gonna be a part of this, because you feel like your handwriting isn’t neat enough or you can’t afford those pretty Muji gel liners. In that case I can only advise that you start using what you already have and create your own aesthetic. You can have notes that are just as pretty and inspire you to learn better and harder without expensive stationary or a minimalist room.

Movies and books

Those can be a huge inspiration, especially when the message is to work harder or try your best or whatever. Imagery plays a huge role for me personally, so the prettier a movie is the more it might inspire me. I notice this the most with Studio Ghibli movies! Books are different, that way. It’s special to me when I can identify with a character and I see how they overcome their fears and problems. But this differs from person to person! Search for your inspirations in movies and books and return to them when you feel uninspired.

My favs are: - Legally Blonde (movie) - Whisper Of The Heart (movie) - Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig (book)

Other tips

Clean your room! Seriously nothing makes me want to be active more than a tidy room. It’s the best workspace to be productive and study, paint, or do whatever you want to.

Listen to study playlists or make your own! (*cough* inserting self promo *cough* You can find me as rosenmaedchen on playmoss!) I feel like inspiration and motivation come to me way quicker when i have the right music.

Take a break. This is v important.Sometimes when we really want to achieve our goals we overwork ourselves. Inspiration won’t find you when you’re exhausted and don’t have the power to do anything you want to at all. Treat yourself.
