othala—one of my favorite elder futhark runes that keeps me safe and affirms that all that is mine can never be stolen or taken away 🗡️ ᛟ ✧ ･ﾟ

[branddmc]

"byþ oferleof æghƿylcum men,

gif he mot ðær rihtes and gerysena on

brucan on bolde bleadum oftast."

An estate is very dear to every man,

if he can enjoy there in his house

whatever is right and proper in constant prosperity.

- Old Anglo-Saxon rune poem

Hávamál, Stanza 36:

"Better a house, though a hut it be,

A man is master at home;

A pair of goats and a patched-up roof

Are better far than begging."

Hávamál, Stanza 76:

"Cattle die, kindred die,

everyman is mortal:

but the good name never dies

of one who has done well.”

3. Who do you miss the most?

Our exchange student from two years ago. We become close friends and I simply loved spending time with her (she was the one who got me into anime and Death Note). Also, it was so cool to see get excited about every tradition from my country, it made me realise how important it is to appreciate the little things in life. Besides, she was always so caring, emotional and extroverted - we chat every now and then but it’s not the same as seeing each other irl.

5. Who had the biggest positive impact on you?

My mother tbh (my father too, but she had a bigger impact)! She taught me how important it was to stay tolerant and that life isn’t always about being the best and achieving all your goals, I love her so much for that.

7. Who do you wish you could be honest with?

A friend - but she’s a very sensitive person and telling her the truth about something never really works out, so I mostly just take the safe route.

10. Who do you wish you’d treated differently?

Mhm, I sometimes wish that I had the courage to be a ruder to some people that annoy me instead of swallowing my anger.

13. What’s your biggest insecurity?

That the people close to me are going to use me. Or the other way around - that I am going to be terribly mean or manipulative to someone and end up hurting them a lot in the process, especially because I sometimes actually want to do that.

20. What’s the saddest you’ve ever been?

September 2015. The exchange student which I mentioned earlier and my best friend were suddenly not in my class anymore and I was too shy to approach other people. My class took a sports course that lasted for an entire week and I spent most time my room (which I did share with another girl but she was always doing stuff with her friends somewhere else) doing nothing and feeling depressed. I think I cried at least once a day and considered jumping from our balcony because of how frustrated and sad I was :/ I’m so glad that I managed to get over that and that I’m feeling much better these days tbh.

29. Describe a time you felt like a hypocrite.

Telling a friend not to lie to someone before remembering that I told them a lie just a few minutes ago, haha.

35. What are you proudest of?

Not sure if it’s the skill that I am actually proudest of - but the first thing that comes to my mind is my english level. It’s currently my favourite subject in school and I enjoy having a talent in something (I also think that I tend to be one of the best english speakers in my class because of the people that I met online, which makes me so happy!)
