Cinnamon girl by Lana del Rey is so beautiful I can’t breathe

If the choice was mine, I’d have left school as it finished, not go to university and spend my life travelling, exploring and falling in love with the secrets I find. I would not be going to university for a degree I’m not passionate about and making compromises. I would do everything with an excited thrumming in my blood. But the choice is not mine.

[plutoarcadia]

My mum always told me things like “oh when you have kids you’ll understand” or “I’m so excited to spoil my grandkids” and things like that and I’ve always hated it. So much. It was like she was making the decision for me and everytime I thought of myself as a parent I was uncomfortable and uneasy and felt like crying. Then I thought “what else am I supposed to do? When have I ever made a decision for myself?” and it’s like I never chose the schools I’m going to. I’m going to university but it’s for a degree I know can get me a good job, not something I want to learn, not something I’m passionate about. I have no control but I think “if I don’t get a degree, if I don’t get married, have a kid, how do I know I’ve succeeded? That I’ve won in life?” And it’s horrible because everything we’re taught is on this one line, this one story. A fairytale, read over and over and over again until you throw up goals in pursuit of it whether you really want it or not. Everything is so one dimensional I can’t imagine a future where i can be happy if I don’t follow it even if I don’t want it and I don’t know what to do.

I got 3 A’s and a B for my grades and I’m literally so happy like last year all I got were C’s. I get the academic validation thing now I feel like flying.

I started an ig account and just posted pictures of anything really like me or views or pretty things like anything and it’s really fun. No hashtags or nothing just a private photo gallery. No show, nothing to prove. 10/10 would recommend

Did someone just remember this existed? Yes!

Elamite

Ethiopic (Ge’ez)

For the love of all the gods, if you ever wanted to learn any of these languages, use this site.
