okay DESI CBSE KIDS ASSEMBLE especially those giving boards exams, PLEASE tell me if I'm the only one who literally has no fucking motivation left to study anything or are we all on the same boat? I've been a pretty studious person my entire life but all the uncertainty around the exams and the fucked up number of cases in our country is giving me so much anxiety. while the thought of going to give the exams is scary, unjust internal marking and assessment is also kinda scary and the thought of postponement and dragging this whole thing on is the scariest. in conclusion I do not know what I want, all I know is I want this to be over .

“There is a form of ancient Latin called Latinum Mortuorum, which can only be spoken in the past tense. You couldn’t say ‘I am alive’; only 'I was alive.’ It was spoken by children, often orphans. For them, the present, the future- these realms of time didn’t exist. Instead they spent their lives looking backward. In essence, living in the past.”
— Yvonne Woon, Dead Beautiful
Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.

You are your own worst enemy. It is your negative thoughts that hold you back, nothing else.

She kept staring at the other presence in the room. She received the same attention back. Tension was high between them, irritated by the uncalled company.
“I asked you to leave,” she said. There was no reply, just two set of eyes looking intently at each other. Eventually losing her calm, she said.
“I’m tired of you being with me all the time. My friends are worried but you never let me visit them. I don’t even feel like myself with you,” she screamed, chest heaving in anger and desperation. But this was needed; she needed to know the damage of being with her.
“Please, please I beg you. Please leave me alone,” she cried when her words were met with silence, yet again. But it smirked at her, those vicious human teeth between the red lips.
Collecting herself together, she walked towards her table and pulled out the pistol she kept for emergency situations.
"I begged you. I still am. You leave me no options," she said as she loaded the pistol and pointed at it. Only to find a similar one towards her. But she didn't falter. Her fingers were ready to pull the trigger any moment, looking for fear in the eyes of her enemy.
She found none.
But she had to do it. In order for her own sanity. She braced herself one more time.
And she shot herself.
What other profession thrives on failure? I can’t fail as a teacher. I can’t fail as a doctor. But if I fail as an artist, I become a better artist.

self-care is spending 90% of your day absorbed in fictional worlds/characters to avoid thinking about or engaging with your very real problems

Without you...
You need to break sometimes, to grow even stronger.
You need to let go in life, to receive better things.

I was kissed by the moon a few times,
A lost guy in search of a little affection,
To be in such dire need of tenderness,
She lighted up my soul with a single kiss,
But wouldn’t leave the sky for me.
