"You Can't Be A Lurker On Tumblr." Yes, You Absolutely Can. I've Been Quietly Reblogging Things Since

SHE REALLY DID THAT

unpopular opinion but i think a lot of the things that people think are “pretentious” aren’t actually pretentious - they just require a little more effort & intentionality on the reader / viewer’s part to understand. but bc we’re so used to mass produced media and instant, consumable content, we’ve come to take for granted that knowledge & information can be instantaneously grasped, digested and absorbed without any real participation or action from us. if people were actually looking to criticise pretentiousness, they would call out the classism & racism of ivory tower intellectualism and its cultural manifestations, not whine about how “inaccessible” media that don’t treat their audience like idiots are

Skam

I am totally in love with this tv show, not just because we have pretty guys, pretty girls and pretty things about life. It’s just because we have everything bad and good there because our lives aren’t perfect and that’s why i love skam. 

They show everything that happens nowadays with our society. They show every struggle about it and that’s why i am completely obsessed with it. 

They don’t cover up the ‘’imperfections’’ of caracters’ faces, they just show real people, real love, real world, reality and i really want to say thank you to the person who had the idea to make this serie, the best serie in the world, i can’t stop thinking about it for one minute, it’s completely insane and the things you learn while you are watching every ep are amazing and i think it’s important to educate the new generation as well. 

It’s everything i want to say: THANK YOU.

It’s hard to describe, but in their own words: “Endel creates personalized soundscapes to give your mind and body what it needs to achieve total immersion in any task”. Basically you have four modi: relax, focus, on-the-go and sleep mode. They take into consideration external conditions such as heart rate, weather, time and location to personalize these soundscapes. I personally love sleep mode!

It’s a mental health diary but without the excessive writing and the nagging feeling of guilt when you don’t have the time to update it. It helps you to reflect and get information. What I absolutely love about it: you don’t have to write. If you don’t want to at least. They will ask you daily questions about your emotional and physical well-being, that way you’ll get a bi-weekly mental health assessment. You can learn effective methods and techniques + have a reference of your emotional state which you can share with mental health professionals.

..... I see only facts 

I’m just gonna leave this here

“I always wonder what I actually am to other people. What it is like to see me? To wrap your arms around me? To look at me when I laugh or cry? What is it like to know the smell of me? Or how my chest feels when you rest your head on it? What is it like to know me? What does it feel like to love me? Maybe if I knew that feeling I’d learn to love me too.”
