"the despair of an idealism that you can't attain" aaaaaaaah, i am so dead
"I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean sugary' It's dark and tormented - the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain."
- Catherine Breillat
that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing
My highschool chem notes 💞
The reason why I love stories with sad endings is that it already gave us all the beautiful moments to see. It didn't just say they lived happily ever after all the shit they went through and we didn't even know how they were happy. Did he bring her favourite flowers every time they fought? Did she make his favourite coffee after a bad day at work? We don't know. Missing out on all these moments is more tragic for me than these not happening at all.
Sad endings forces us to keep reminding ourselves of all the good moments that happened. Maybe it was not all Rosie but at least we got the memories.
It makes us believe that some stories remain beautiful even if it doesn't end our way. And sometimes "All's well even if it doesn't end well ".
I am okay with your history. It made you who you are. And I happen to be in love with who you are.

I have now decided to just live by:
Ke maana iss duniya ki hu hi nhi, main apni hi duniya banaungi
(Maybe I don't belong to this world, so I will create my own world.)
Being afraid of thunderstorms is so outdated, can’t you figure out different characteristics than that. I’m sure if you look hard enough something will come up that you can wear authenticity instead of a cliche written in pages we’ve all read before
Hiiee!
Whatever I wrote were completely my thoughts and traits. I didn't mean to use "being afraid of thunderstorms" as cliché but for the fact that I am afraid of thunderstorms and I do find rain kinda irritating.
But as a fellow reader I completely agree with your point of reading the same clichés again and again is kinda annoying. I'd try my best to avoid it in future writings. Thanks🤝🙃
And as humans we never realise how much we crave serenity, sometimes in serenity itself and often in chaos too.

Today India made its first soft landing on the moon's south pole.
I was watching the landing live on YouTube like millions of other Indians and maybe non-indians too. The last minute of landing was more nerve racking than anything, considering it was India's 3rd attempt in doing so. But finally we did it thanks to the hardwork and dedication of all the scientists at ISRO and many others who helped behind the scenes. Dr. Homi Bhabha, Dr. Sarabhai, Dr. Kalam and many others who had this far fetched vision of Indian space research would be so proud right now, seeing how it is all coming together like clockwork.
India is the 4th country to achieve a soft landing on the moon after the USA, Russia and China and the first one to do so on the moon's south pole. Just like its name a soft landing refers to landing the craft gently on the moon's surface with a speed of about 2 meters per second, which is actually not an easy feat because of the moon's rough terrain. The terrain is still a lot better near the lunar equator, where the aforementioned countries achieved soft landing unlike India which did so at the south pole having hell-like terrains with all the bumps and craters, little to no sunlight, and temperatures going as down as -215°C. One of the main reasons India was eager to reach the south pole is the lack of information about it and the possibility of millions of years old ice present there. The chandrayan 2 craft present there has also detected some hydroxyl(OH) there. Hope this endeavour makes a "giant leap for mankind"!
And genuinely hoping to be a part of such a project in the coming years! Please do remember me in your prayers.
