smh he won’t let me read in peace

Got any life advice?

yep

cheat in solitaire.

listen to the world.

make up your own gods and pray to them.

think about chuck e cheese.

stare at a wall.

[cuuno-moved]

don't take yourself too seriously. if you're playing solitaire, a game against yourself, there's no harm in making it easier for yourself.

i got my hearing aides today, and it astounds me what people don't talk about. they talk about the sound of the rain, or a creaky door, but not the sound of pouring milk in a glass, or the sound of a hedgehog eating, or the sound of carbonation.

genuinely just. make up your own explanation for the universe. i make up gods on the daily to explain the little things, and when im hurt or need help, i toss a prayer out into the universe. they're not real, i know that, but they're a good scapegoat for my problems.

it doesn't have to be chuck e cheese, just somewhere that brought you joy as a kid. somewhere you felt unbridled joy. someplace childhood felt potent, where you let yourself be a kid.

sometimes you just gotta let yourself go braindead. staring at a wall helps.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

would you prefer to learn French or Italian before you die?

the threatening aura of this message reads like it was sent by the duolingo owl

[waldfinsternis-deactivated20250]

Måneskin really gave us everything - a great ESC finale, a well deserved win for Italy, banging rock music, incredible stage presence, a f**k you to boomers that assume all people that make/listen to loud music do drugs, leather pants, attractive people to simp over and most importantly the motivation to finally learn Italian

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

What is it about night walks...I looked into the orange light of someone’s window and felt the deepest sense of peace I’ve ever had

Why does being in your early 20s feel so much like only having 5 years of your life left in which you need to achieve as much as possible? why do I feel like I have an approaching deadline for success?

“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

more snaps earlier this afternoon 🤎 a few days ago I finished reading Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd – brilliant mystery read, I am now becoming a fan of the unreliable narrator.
