“Maria Alexandrova graduated in 1996 but was advised to stay at the Academy for another year to prepare for international ballet competitions. At the prestigious Moscow competition in 1997 she won a gold medal, an achievement she is however quick to put into perspective: 'The main thing is not to be the first, but to be the best. A dance competition is closer to sports, and many random circumstances can have their impact on the outcome. It’s not always good to be the first. I became the first that time, but not everything was that good and there were surely some mistakes. You need to try to become better.‘”

— Maria Alexandrova (Bolshoi Ballet, 2003)

Someone: Hey what time is it?

Me: What?

Someone: Wha-

Me: It’s 3:20

This is actually a thing, while visual info takes 0.1 seconds to process, auditory infor can take 3 to 4 seconds to process, which is why you ask, and then actually hear the question because your brains only just processed it

“Write because you want to communicate with yourself. Write because you want to communicate with someone else. Write because life is weird and tragic and amazing. Write because talking is difficult. Write because it polishes the heart. Write because you can. Write because you can’t. Write because there is a blackbird outside of my window right now and oh my god isn’t that the best start to the day? Write because you’re trying to figure yourself out. Write because you might not ever figure yourself out. Write because there still aren’t enough love poems in the world.”
