“the single most important element of a great opponent is that he be necessary to the hero… the main opponent is the one person in the world best able to attack the great weakness of the hero… and he should attack it relentlessly.” - from john truby’s the anatomy of story

isn’t it funny how time seems to stretch and shrink constantly? now that march is here it feels like last march, pre-lockdown, has been both forever and just yesterday. are you feeling it too?
in the meantime, I’m taking deep breaths, prepping for a data science midterm, and enjoying the linguistics unit in my cognitive science class.
happy march friends 💛

I woke up early today to a white Istanbul and I’ve finished reading Wuthering Heights. It was my first time reading it in English so it felt like I read it for the first time. It took me a bit longer to read it than usual since I wasn’t familiar with some words and old phrases. Also, an old photo from Amsterdam, I truly want to visit there once again.

tuesday, nov 17 • stills from an october diary
a collection of many small moments to comprise of my october diary. last month had a lot of happy moments scattered throughout, but also it was the month where my anxiety hit the peak(!) yoikes ;u; it just really felt like things (that i’m particularly happy about) are always changing and happening to me, and i have to “accept” them. but, at least i think this month i’ve finally stopped resisting as much, which has a helped a lil’ bit! maybe next month i’ll start feeling good about the changes?? haha baby steps u know (´・ω・`)
