MAY 2024 life update!!! hello again, tumblr

'this is a life,'

as mitski sang. truly, life has a way of coming to resemble a bagel. one minute you're in your senior year of high school figuring out what university to apply to, and in the next, over 4 years have passed, and all you have to show for it is a sense of futility coming to rest over everything like a big heavy suffocating blanket, rendering most of existence, at its core, (seemingly) void of meaning. (if ur wondering what a bagel has to do w it watch everything everywhere all at once)

but at the same time, life proves time and time again to be at its heart, full of meaning and love even if it's just a tiny black speck of it in a silly googley eye. (again, the movie)

this is a blog!

and i'm trying to make sense of this life as a twenty-something year old nearly done with her degree. the degree that was meant to be done in 3 years, but has since stretched to four, the degree that i had dreamt of attaining abroad before a pandemic grounded me to this island. a degree that i am, again, nearly done with. done as in i'm close to graduating, but mostly done as in im so over it !!

i am a student of what you'd call 'communication arts,' but truly our times have also made me a student and witness of genocide(s), poverty and corruption, police brutality and extrajudicial killings, oppression and exploitation; but also of apathy, greed, and complacency in the face of it all. you'd think it's just too much for a sensitive little 'gen z' to handle. and it almost is. and yet!

i embark on this journey still. of self discovery, yes, but also of observation. a search of this sense awe and wonder in everyday life. to embrace that little googly eye you need a recognition and awareness of the persisting beauty and humanity in our world.

this is not weakness, this is not naive optimism or an invite to look away or hide in ignorance, but it is a commitment to stand and see that even now there are little glimpses of creation. brief glints of what we could be and what the world has to offer. it is finding promise and hope in the sunsets that mark each day, in the tropical storms that boast of their power, in the gentle song of the maya bird... it is in the warm smile and reassuring touch, in the young generation that refuses to be bystanders of injustice.

this is a life. and we have to choose to live it still. i'm still figuring it out. some days i identify more with the bagel (can i have some cream cheese w that), but we have to hold on to our little joys. there is a strength that comes in embracing the googly eye lol. (also, read some mary oliver ur life will change)

ok .. so... feel free to join me as i try to once again make my cute little blog posts on this cute little blog !! hah ha

This is a life was so good! I'm really excited for the next parts ^^

But it had me wondering, is there a world where the reader is (or more likely was) a spiderperson?

(Sorry for any grammatical mistakes, english isn't my first language.)

thank u sm, my sweet !! to answer you're question, y/n is not a spider-person in any reality!! the only role they have is to be romantically involved with a spider-person ~~ <3

"just write a little every day" ok but what if i write nothing for 3 weeks and then suddenly type like i’m being hunted by god

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, bellend, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.
