Ukedager

tbh i still can’t understand why anyone would not want to learn other languages. like you can open a book full of once alien-like symbols, and actually know what it’s saying. it’s gotta be one of the best feelings in the world

Ok so I found the Moana soundtrack in French on Spotify!! My favorite song is definitely Le Bleu Lumière, which is the French version of How Far I’ll Go. I’m in love with the soundtrack to begin with and the French version is absolutely wonderful as well. The link is here: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Jn4zy5USPYCC3KyTNUujX Let me know if you listen to it and if you love it as much as I do!

Words taken from: Le Horla (Maupassant)

I don't want any pronouns

Don’t refer to me

a few quick reminders:

- that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already

- you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either

- if something is out of your control, do not let yourself or anyone else expect you to deal with it alone

- social lives can go through cycles sometimes, if you feel like your friends are all ignoring you for no reason they’re probably just busy with other things

- if you can’t stop thinking about someone or something, find something mentally occupying to do like reading a book or watching a movie. it won’t solve any serious problems but you will feel better

- nothing will always be easy, if you’re trying then that should be good enough for anyone. if it’s not then you’re talking with the wrong people

- never underestimate the importance of going to bed, if it’s dark outside and you feel bad just go to bed and deal with your problems the next day
