Hello !

[wnq-writers]

the thing about her, is that she was happy alone. everyone around her was looking for a connection and something to grasp onto, but she was happy being free. she was happy being unchained, happy with no pressure of connections and love. all the love she needed was within herself, and everybody else was just a distraction from everything she was trying to achieve. she understood herself more than anyone else understood her, and that was the most beautiful thing about her.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

You’re never going to be 100% ready and it’s never going to be just the right time, but that’s the point. It means that every moment is also the right moment. If you want it, you just have to do it.

Never respond to rudeness. When people are rude to you, they reveal who they are, not who you are. Don’t take it personally. It is best to be silent.

Traditional Hungarian gnocchi recipe

To make: Wisk together 1-2 eggs (1 egg for 1-2 people, 2 for 2-4 people) a half a cup of room temperature water and a good pinch of salt. Once combined add enough plain flour to make a thick batter (make sure you get this bit right as it determines the texture of the gnocchi). When I say thick I mean it should be like a cake batter consistency but when you lift the fork out, the batter should not fall off with ease.

To cook: bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Using a spoon, scoop the mixture and with your finger over the boiling water, cut it into bit size pieces. This will take time to get and become speedy with as the gnocchi cooks quickly and over cooking it causes them to become mushy. If there is a large amount of batter, do it in batches so the ones that were cooked first don’t over cook.

Final touch: beat an egg (add milk/cream if preferred). Heat a pot with oil, add gnocchi and stir for a minute to sear. Move the gnocchi to one side of the pot and add the egg mixture to the other side. Stir the gnocchi into the egg mixture to coat. As the egg cooks it coats the gnocchi and becomes a creamy (and messy) looking meal. This is where I added my own twist. It certainly is not necessary to add anything as the eggy gnocchi is perfect as is.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

She is not mine. I don’t think she could ever be anyone’s. She doesn’t want to be owned. That’s what I love most about her.

Frozen Lion Cubs Still Have Their Fur 12,000 Years

More than 12,000 years ago, lions dwelled in the caves of present-day Russia.

Two cubs from the ice age were recently uncovered in the Siberian Arctic, perfectly frozen in the permafrost. Named Uyan and Dina after the Uyandina river where they were recovered, the cubs still had their fur and whiskers.

“It’s the first time in history that a cave lion, although it is a cub and not a grown-up animal, was found with all the fur, internal organs and soft parts of the body so well-preserved,” Valery Plotnikov, a researcher at the regional Academy of Sciences, said to The Associated Press. Cave lions, the prehistoric relative of modern-day lions, are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago.

The cubs are the only well-preserved examples of cave lion that scientists have ever had the opportunity to study. Russian Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Sakha, via Associated Press
