"The outside world must be ten times bigger than inside the walls!"

"The burning water..."

"The plains of ice..."

"The ocean..."

"And the fields of sands..."

"Eren, someday I hope we get to explore the outside world."

I find it absolutely hilarious that after playing the popularised sexy man “James Bond” for what feels like a millennium, Daniel Craig has only now reached tumblr sexy man status by playing a funky southern gay detective with a hubby that bakes sour bread. If this is not the most on brand tumblr thing I don’t know what is

“I. There are parts of us for which I still don’t have names for. Let’s call this bone, salt. This blood, sea. This flesh, moon Every touch is a tide rolling in, every whisper a hurricane to my heart. The sun unfolds in my stomach and I whisper into the new day, “This is us.” II. The world must move in circles. The earth rotates around the sun, the sun chases the moon, and where we come from, we shall go again. When I say “forgive me” it is your name I am calling, and so it is when I say “holy;” your hundred, hundred names. III. In Czech, “to paint” and “to love” are only one vowel apart: malovat, milovat. How simple it would be to replace “love” with things more or less familiar: I paint you, I sky you, I ballad you, you, you, you.”

— “Malovat, Malovat, Malovat.” (inspiration from here and here)

This is a time where we are all confused. We wake up and suddenly we are in a place where we don't know what's about to happen. In this moments, we want to do something, in our little ways. All that and yet we are not sure if the little things we do are enough. There are several discourses going around and the points they deliver are neither absolutely correct nor absolutely wrong. These are the moments I feel hopeless, Useless, and Lost. It's like no matter how hard you study or how much you know, we'll never reach a unified thought that we can use to fight the destruction that's coming.

I'm not just talking about the environmantal crisis, though that is the main point. I'm talking about all the other things that we feel like we are to useless to act on. The wars, the world hunger, the oppressions, and anything and everything that feels too huge to deal with. It's gonna feel like it's a crisis thta sprung out of nowhere but it's not. It has been going on for a while but it's either we are in our comfort bubble or we got used to it. We shouldn't. We shouldn't just accept wrong things just because we don't feel it. it's the reason we are alive, to fight for the right things and strive to eliminate all the wrong things as much as we can.

There are small things we can do, we can incorporate habits of being resourceful and sustainable in our everyday lives, we can clear up unwanted emails, use apps or browsers that aims to promotote environmental advocacies, and speak up.

When I do these small things, I feel hopeful and I feel good thinking I've done something, but at the end of the day it isn't solely dependent on our small habits. It shouldn't end there, we should hold the bigger suspects accountable. The big companies that don't give a shit as long as they earn money, the government that let's these behaviors pass, and all the other people in power who has enough capabilities to change the tide but chooses not to care. We are all so small compared to the phenomenon that is about to come, but together we must be brave and do everything we can to make a notable impact. It starts in small things, but let's not stop there.

A friend of mine was watching Little Women (2019) again and loved Amy + Amy/Laurie when she used to hate her and I’m convinced that becoming an adult and maturing is realizing that Amy was passionate and ambitious. She wanted success and wealth, and was very aware of what she needed to do to have it and as the youngest she had a big responsibility on her shoulders to actually marry well and sustain her family. All the hate towards Amy for me comes with the media making us dislike female characters that display feminine traits and aren’t rivaling society's standards like Jo. The book being on Jo's POV makes people root for her but people never wanted to acknowledge that everything that Amy apparently "took" from Jo (like the trip to Paris) were because Jo constantly keeps making fun of Aunt March's efforts and Amy was the one actually willing to do the work — at the end, Amy was the logical choice to present to society. She earn it and took it. Plus, Amy burning Jo's book when she was 12 is such an old excuse, she was a child, acted like a child — and then grew up.

Maturing is not only about seeing Amy differently but also realizing that Laurie was comfortable being afloat in his life, immature and okay with holding onto his childish crush on Jo, wasting his talent and money away — and it was Amy that made him grow up and realize that in order to be with her romantically he needed to put on some work and actually be the man she deserves. It was her that made him go and work for his grandfather instated of staying in Europe wasting his money. Amy challenged him and made him become aware of his potential. Jo and Laurie were holding themselves back into what was secure and comfortable because neither of them wanted to grow up and face adult challenges.

And what the movies left out compare to the book is that Laurie genuinely loved Amy and never viewed her as a second choice or his way towards the March family. The more he spend with Amy in Europe the more he started to realize that what he felt for Jo was an infatuation — Amy showed him what being in love truly means. Jo was never in love with Laurie, she just didn’t like the idea of growing up alone and struggled with the pressure of marriage. Basically, Amy and Laurie balanced each other very well because she was a steady and grounding presence in his life and that’s ultimately what he needed. Amy got to marry both for love and financial security.
