good morning friends 💚✨

My brain has been betraying me lately, and I've been feeling less and less like myself. Maybe it's something about this time of year, or maybe it's just me. Either way, I'd really like to enjoy happy moments and not constantly wait for the other shoe to drop.

Me in 2014 🤝 Me in 2025 Having big feelings about John Green's writing (If you haven't read The Anthropocene Reviewed, you really should)

Just finished reading Project Hail Mary and wow do I care a lot about lil sci fi guys and their overall survival 😭

don't mind me, i'll just be sobbing at the muppet movie script

Khadra-coded characters ✨️

It's still January.

Just now realizing I have been to twelve sporting events this school year (so far). Am I... a jock now?

2025 is set to be pretty fantastic ✨️ • traveling to see friends • taking care of myself • applying to doctoral programs • moving in with the loml Who would have guessed that my heart would be so full and that life would lead me here?

*My dad and I watching Gilmore Girls, season 3* Him: I know that actor's face. He's from Twilight. Me: nah, I don't think so Him: It's the dad from Twilight. Me: Charlie? Him: YES. CHARLIE, BUT YOUNG I've never been prouder of the cultural knowledge in my house ✨️

Weirdly, I am fully caught up on my grading? And it's making me nervous?? *imposter syndrome truly never disappears*

Oof the sad times are back my guys and the mental/physical effects are ROUGH

One last letter of rec to write and then I am free from this self imposed nightmare realm for a few more months 🥹✌🏼

Me after getting my fillings at the dentist, trying to see if I have any feeling in my lips

Really hate that I'm at the point in my life where my body's response to being overworked is shooting pain up my arm for mutliple hours, physically forcing me to literally stop and putting me out of commission for the night

👏she👏has👏a👏very👏specific taste👏 (and WILL be annoying about it✨️)

On my work to do list - 24 columns to grade - 42 essays to grade - 72 (incoming) tests to grade - 23 (incoming) projects to grade All by the end of next week... why did I do this to myself

Just finished reading Lessons in Chemistry and I'm??? Sobbing??? Emotional??? About to reread it because I have trouble moving on??? (This might be my fave book of the year)

I'm stupidly proud of myself for this because the second half of 2024 has not made it easier ✨️ (and I'm gonna keep on reading more!!!)

This is my boy, Samwise 💕 (only 20 more hours until I get to pester him with my love and affection)

Peering into this void, hoping it isn't already an absolute dumpster fire 🔥
