everyone knowing that lucy has a crush on lockwood *except lucy* is an extremely impressive feat considering that the books are told in first person by lucy
#actually………….. this is definitely why im struggling with these books lolllllll :’)#bc Lucy reminds me waaay too much of myself in this regard 🤦♀️🙃#(doesn’t help at all that Lockwood reminds me a lot of the boy I caught feelings for last year at school#in a way of ways *SIGHH*)#lockwood and co#🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

#friends at college and I do this sort of thing all the time. it's the only reason I've been able to write several papers at this point lol#also! roommate and I developed a Things To Talk About Later jar and a Cleaning Party system#where we put sticky notes in an empty jar with Serious Conversations that we need to have at some point in the future#but for whatever reason (probably overwhelm) cannot have at the exact time they come into our brains#it's such a great idea. sadly we came up with it at the end of the year and we're not rooming together next year :( but we will carry it#on to our next sets of roommates!#Cleaning Party is basically just an agreement that 'hey the room is a MESS right now but we have way too much going on so we will set#aside an hour on this specific given date at this specific given time in order to knock out all the cleaning that needs to be done'#and it worked quite well all in all#tips#life advice

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up
#seems like I've been learning this over and over lately too#thank God for the resilience of things (perhaps a form of common grace I think)#reminders#important things

someone explain to me why we were a nice normal family until the second year I was away at college and then somehow all hell broke loose
#specifically I'm talking about my youngest two sisters deciding that the most sane and effective way to communicate with one another#is by just. screaming. like full-on 12-year-old years shrilly screeching at each other 50x a day.#and only one of them is actually 12.#I love them both but wow I am going to actually lose my mind 🤪#gurt says stuff#personal

Female characters who find strength in being Tough and Strong and female characters who find strength in being Graceful and Meek should coexist and should be best friends.
#hey how about if they co-exist in the SAME PERSON huh#bc that's the kind of character I'm trying to be#but unfortunately it's dang hard :(

sitting in the break room at my workplace (retail institution), which is upstairs, and directly below me are the cash registers. And from the floor below, I can clearly hear the sound of a small child going “BEE-DO BEE-DO BEE-DO.”

Obsessed with the idea that humanity can only take place in conversation, that to be human requires another, that it is impossible to be human in complete solitude.
#semiotic theory contains this idea too#that only within relationship with others can we have words and meanings#read Lost In The Cosmos it’s really cool

possibly odd question I have for you all this afternoon:
is it possible to lose emotional intelligence when once you had it?
I ask because I used to feel like I understood people's feelings, motivations, reactions, etc. pretty well, and I definitely had a better grasp of my own, but lately it feels like they're a complete mystery to me, and I'm flying blind on this stuff most of the time.

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” is stupid because it’s true about general love but people use it to refer to romantic love and I Do Not believe that At All
#ACTUALLY my friend told me this about another mutual friend who graduated and no longer goes to our school but who I was missing#deeply last year#and she didn't even know that I had sorta half caught feelings for him at the time she said it. so. there's THAT.

The homunculus is considering moving out. I'm worried he's going to take the pipe organ.
#just thinking about Augustine and the homunculus that supposedly lives in our brain and retrieves the memories for us#Wonder how he would’ve felt about the implication there was a pipe organ in his mind… given his thoughts on music/art/fiction etc
