wow your follow back was so quick? haha but hi Joanna! Here, a question: what do you think cheers people up best when they need it? (Specifically this question is about you I guess, so what makes you happy when you are down?) and dang your blog scheme and colours are so pretty. Thanks!

aha hello!!! 

specifically to me, things like tea, chocolate, music and a comfy bed cheer me up!! also hanging out with my friends or with family (providing that they aren’t the ones who made me sad in the first place)

Thanks for sharing that post! On hate because of hate: eh, when I was younger, (8-9), I had an abusive math teacher who criticised everything I did in math classes, she also used to beat me lots for no reason at all, and she'd make up excuses to publicly humiliate my child self simply because I was a transfer student in that school. I don't flunk Math now, but it isn't my fav anymore, and I get very adverse to it. (Math is still compulsory after all and I tell myself not to use such excuses.)

no problem, i hope you found it helpful! <3 

oh gosh, that’s absolutely awful!! D: that teacher sounds just.. horrifying. i’m glad you didn’t let it get to you too much, and i could see why you wouldn’t like it for that reason :( just know that it’s definitely the teacher’s fault and not math! thank you for sharing that story :O *hugs*

Stuck on mobile right now (it's 9am hahaha hi fellow Singaporean! Don't you love CNY long weekends because I certainly do!) and your mobile theme is hella cute idk why, tho it's probably the general colour scheme (feels rlly clean and nice). Followed you during this following spree and I'm glad I did!! I'm planning on finishing my homework *coughs there's so much of it*, my projects, my graded assignments, and would perhaps watch The Martian (uhh well at last?) and write a short story or two.

omg heyy fellow singaporean!! yeah i can finally catch up on all my stuff... if I don’t procrastinate, that is :/ I haven’t watched the martian either >< (+f)

your theme is amazingly clean (and your fandom blog matches <3) !! Plus I love your tagging system :D (cos it reminds me of mine *smirks*) hi five fellow aspiring med student!

Ooh I see that you've read/was planning to read Rebecca Solnit's Wunderlust! Is it any good? I've read her things in Lithub and I like what she's written on the site so I'm quite curious as to how her books are like.

I haven’t read it yet (I unfortunately failed my goodreads challenge last year, I’ll stick to 25 books this year I think instead of 30)! I have read The Faraway Nearby and Men Explain Things To Me, and really love both of them a lot! I strongly recommend them. The Faraway Nearby is a beautifully written kind of memoir, kind of essay collection and Men Explain Things To Me is a great introduction to feminism. I didn’t know that she wrote on Lithub. I will go and read what she’s written there now!! :)
