i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest

really just want to live a quiet life with quiet, genuine, humble people. not interested in loud people or dramatic situations. just want peace, and the sun, and tenderness, and warmth.

online university is just *hasn’t been outside in three days* *absolute lack of spatial and temporal awareness* *tiktok break* *opens an email and forgets to respond* *pyjamas all day every day* *paces around room* *hopes your prof just thinks you’re in a different timezone when you submit an assignment at 4am* *unlimited tea* *bathroom breaks every hour* *no clear divide between free time and school* *looks out window longingly*

It is amazing that we got to watch the birth of the internet. It is never going way, and most of us got to watch it come into existence.

“You should preserve what you know and the honor you have without arrogance. And what you do not know, you should ask with due humility to be taught it.”

God didn’t remove the Red Sea. He parted it.
God doesn’t always remove your problems. But He will make a way for you to get through them!
