You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

How fucking annoying is it when you feel so restless with creative energy but you can’t decide what to do with it and when you finally try to create something it comes out shit so you just give up and sit there being all creatively annoyed and jittery.

Spring 🌱 I finished my final paper of the semester and am feeling like myself again. I forget the toll it has taken on me to work full time and take classes and pursue hobbies and a social life. It’s okay to be overwhelmed even if you feel other people are doing “more”. 🤍
