book review

The Opposite of a Comfort ReadIf you’re looking for a book that wraps things up neatly, this isn’t it. Through the Flesh is messy, intense, and deeply human. Gold’s journey through privilege, collapse, and survival is told with a voice that refuses to be quieted.What I appreciated most was how personal it felt. It’s like being let into someone’s private diary, except the pages are soaked in equal parts pain and defiance. It’s not about teaching a lesson — it’s about telling the truth.

Start planning 2025

Make a list of all the emotions you want to feel at the end of 2025.

Now work backwards and write down all the tasks you need to do in order to feel that way.

Make a separate list of all the “gaps” - what do you currently not have in order to do those tasks to make you feel the way you want?

And lastly, write down how you can fill those gaps. Do you need a gym membership to become fit to feel good about your yourself? Do you need to learn how to cook better meals in order to feel healthy and energised? Do you need to start applying to jobs, in order to secure one, in order to feel financially safe? Do you need to buy an old school alarm clock that’s going to wake up your entire apartment building in order to wake up early? what do you need to DO?

also, make a list of all the things that worked out for you in 2024. Learn to celebrate and appreciate, even the smallest of wins.

For the next two months start the trial and error process of this program. Let’s say you decide that you want to work out 7 days a week in order to feel good about your body. Now halfway through November you realise that 7 days is probably too much, and 5 days would be better for your schedule. Or you decide to read 3 books a week, but realistically, maybe a chapter a day is better.

November and December are your trial months. By the time January starts, be ready with a program that is built for you, works for you, and can be completed by you.

Don’t forget about keeping a reward mechanism. If you complete your daily tasks for 1 month straight, buy that little purse you were eyeing, or take yourself to a spa. Reward yourself in ways you like so that :

a) you’re not in an endless cycle of never being satisfied

b) you don’t drop everything for a man or a friend who shows you the slightest bit of affection because you won’t show it to yourself

c) it encourages you to work harder for yourself.

Umm I'm back....

[academic-vampire]

Me when my professor asks me to elaborate:

-Antigone, by Sophocles

[medstudy09]

remember to take care of yourself! and you did an amazing research paper, even if you can't present it right now - it's still such an achievement!! wishing you all the best

Thank you it means a lot.

[medstudy09]

The conference where I was going to present my research paper is 3 days before my final exams..it take minimum 6hrs to go there so I decided to take back my entry and informed my professor.

This was something I wanted to do since the first day of med school. The only thing I was looking forward to this year and yet I can't go. I feel bad about it and to add insult to the injury my professor told me that my paper had been selected.

I'm so done right now.

Wake up in the morning...go to the hospital....write exam in the afternoon....attend college fest stuff right after....come back...study for the next exam .....repeat.

It's exhausting and disappointing. Next year I'll be having my finals during the conference so that's also not possible.Final year I won't even have time to breath so that is out of question. I'm just so done.

fuck literary gatekeeping, read whatever you want.

[juneacademia]

with the ongoing booktok discourse on this subject, this post is more pertinent than ever.

whether you read spicy romcoms, high fantasy epic adventures, 19th century gothic literature – you are valid as a reader.

everyone reads for different reasons. there is no space for elitism in the book community. criticism is healthy and beneficial when done well, but stop discouraging people from reading because they aren’t picking up the books you deem “worthy”.

not everybody wants to read what you want to read, and they don’t have to. it is not destroying the publishing industry, or ruining literature, i promise.

As long as you enjoy it, nothing else matters

[medstudy09]

I'm surprised I might pass!!!

Now for tomorrow's paper....

Wish me luck.

IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE EASY

let it really sink in.

it was never meant to be easy, yet, you’re doing it.

stop doubting yourself.

[medstudy09]

I'm flying back to college today. Flying between countries is pretty normal for me but this time for some reason I'm feeling depressed. Maybe it's the stress of my paper tomorrow for which I am no where near prepared. Usually I spend only a week at home but this time since I was sick I spent nearly 15 days back home. I didn't feel this way even when I left for the first time(I knew I wouldn't come back for 2yrs then). I need to just forget it and focus on studying as much as possible for this week.

[aureasidera]

Sit down at your desk.

open the book, start reading.

you don’t understand. yet you MUST figure this out to pass the exam.

it’s painful to think about it.

EMBRACE THE PAIN.

feel the uncomfortableness and run towards it.

you have what it takes, stop doubting yourself.

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.

[moldspace]

this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for

HOW TO STAY UNBOTHERED!

1. Never say more than necessary.

2. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

3. Lower your expectations from others.

4. Let your success do the talking.

5. 10 people 10 different opinions. Stop pleasing.

6. Remember your haters are your fans.

7. Don't be afraid to say "NO".

9. Know your truth and be okay with someone else not believing you.

10. Stop taking things personally.

• Let go of control: You can't control others' actions or words, just your reactions.

• Humor: Learn to laugh things off when appropriate.

• Set boundaries: Limit contact with negativity and prioritize supportive people.

• Communicate clearly: Ask for clarification Instead of assuming negativity

• Shift your perspective: Consider the source and if their comment reflects on them more than you.

• Focus on what you can control: Improve your own communication and self-care.

• Thicken your skin: Build strong self-worth and know your value.

11. Healthy detachment.

• Let people be who they want to be, then decide if you want them in your life.

• Trust that rejection is always redirection to something bigger and better.

• Some people are only meant to help you grow, not be in your life forever.

• What if everything is falling apart to come together in a way you can't guess?

• Focus only on what you can control.

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love
