“to be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, a life. to exist here, now, means to lost the possibility of being countless other potential selves.. yet once being born there is no turning back. and I think that’s exactly why the fantasy worlds of cartoon movies so strongly represent our hopes and yearnings. they illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us.” ― hayao miyazaki, starting point: 1979-1996

안녕 여러분! 오랜만이야 ㅠㅠ 지난 주에 내 첫째 프랑스어 교과서를 사서 드디어 프랑스어 문법을 공부하기 시작할 수 있다. 근데 지난 달에 한국어 공부하지 않아서 이번 달에 많은 단어와 문법을 다시 공부해야 한다. 괜찮다. 한국어를 열심히 공부하면 빨리 끝날 것이다. 아자아자 화이팅!!!!

In a previous post I answered a question about word order and I talked a little bit about adjective placement with word order and I figured I’d go more in depth about it so here we go y’all.

90% of the time adjectives will go after a noun

The other 10% are adjective having to do with age, “goodness” (bon/mal), size, and beauty. There are some cases where an adjective is placed before the noun and it completely changes the meaning:

(yes the nouns are super random)

1. Ancien(ne)

L’ancien château ➡️ the former castle

Le château ancien ➡️ the old castle

2. Cher/chère

Cher ami ➡️ dear friend

Une voiture chère ➡️ an expensive car

3. Dernier/dernière

La dernière semaine ➡️ the final week

La semaine dernière ➡️ last week

4. Grand(e)

Un grand chien ➡️ a big dog

Une femme grande➡️ a tall woman

5. Même

Le même musée ➡️ the same museum

Le musée même ➡️ this very museum

6. Pauvre

Ces pauvres enfants ➡️ these poor kids (unfortunate)

Ces enfants pauvres ➡️ these poor kids (poverty)

7. Prochain(e)

Le prochain cours ➡️ the following class

Mercredi prochain ➡️ next wednesday

8. Propre

Ma propre chambre ➡️ my own bedroom

Une chambre propre ➡️ a clean bedroom

9. Seul(e)

La seule personne ➡️ the only person

La personne seule ➡️ the person who’s alone

Life Cleanse - What I Did

Deep clean your room - I’m talking about stripping the bed, going through clothes, papers, and belongings and having no mercy. Sweeping and damp mopping the floors. Dusting surfaces. Finding new homes for those miscellaneous items that just sit there in the way.

Delete old contacts - I went from having maybe 30-40 contacts to 14. In other words, delete contacts you haven’t messaged or called in the last two weeks to a month (if so long). If they text you don’t be afraid or feel guilty for asking who it is.

Go through your music library - Play all your songs and if you skip a song delete it without hesitation. The next time you hit shuffle on your playlist you won’t even notice it’s gone. What if you get in the mood for the song? That’s what YouTube is for my friend… or just add the song back onto your phone.

Go through clothes - That dress you haven’t worn once in the past year- toss it. The shirt you swear fits if you don’t raise your arms- get rid of it. Those worn out clothes- dump them. *Of course there can be exceptions but within reason.

Journal - Write down any thoughts to cleanse your mind. Any ideas you might have. Good things that happened that day. Bad things that happened. Things you’re grateful for. It helps so much. Try it for at least three days straight and you’ll notice how much better you feel. Problems might not disappear completely but it’ll give you the strength to get through another day.

Don’t try to force things to work out - It’s so hard and it can be upsetting when things don’t, but sometimes the best thing you can do for you is accept the way (some)things are.

Don’t be hard on yourself for messing up -  It can be easy to physically or mentally punish yourself for making a mistake no matter how big or small, but I’ve learned that doing things like starving yourself, beating yourself  up (literally), or just scolding yourself repeatedly doesn’t improve the situation and it doesn’t improve yourself.

Cut toxic people off - Remove them from your life physically (which sometimes takes time). Unfriend them from social media. Remove prominent traces of them from your life. It’s like suddenly a weight comes off of your shoulders.

Practice self love -  I write/say this so often and sometimes I feel like it’s so hard to do sometimes but it’s not. I’m talking about taking a break when you need to. Drinking water. Moisturising your skin. Getting enough sleep. It’s the little things like that that count as self love.

Don’t runaway from your problems - It’s tempting and hard but it’s important to face any problems you’re facing. No one is saying you have to be strong 24/7, only that you should try.

Delete old files - Go through you computer, tablet, phone, USB drive etc. Delete old unimportant documents, old photos, music, apps and more.
