Loading...2022



 Ok so this is probably going to be my very last post of 2021- whoa. Letting that sink in. So, how are we feeling?

Honestly, I don't know what to think? Like I wouldn't say 2021 was the best year, but it wasn't the worst, either. It just feels weird, 'cause it feels both like it couldn't end faster, and like it barely started. Not sure what to say, really, but that's life to you. 

Do you guys write new year's resolutions, or things you were grateful for that year? So a little thing I realized as I am writing this- back when I was little, I'd be more focused on resolutions, what I want to/ am excited for the next year etc. Basically, I was looking forward to the future. 

Then, the last couple of years, I'd scoff at the idea of goals. What's the point? Instead, I tried to look back at what I did the year before, as I was scared I'd forget stuff. That's one of my fears, actually- forgetting. Sometimes I feel like I remember too much, or too little, but either way, I want to remember. Even the unnecessary stuff. In other words, I was desperately clinging onto the past. 

Neither of them are bad, exactly. Most things aren't. They fall into the great chasm of grey area and wow that was pretty dramatic. But 2021 made me kind of realize change is constant. Life goes on. So really, there's no point of choosing either past or future; you can choose both. Oh, and then there's the present, of course, which is a literal gift. 

Anyhow, happy new year! I hope whatever's best for you happens :)

An Actually Important Chat

Hello everyone. So first of all, you may be wondering why I didn't post yesterday. Usually, it'd be because I didn't have the time, or the right inspiration.  But eventually I would find time and inspiration and write something, right?  Yeah, not this time.  Creativity block? Maybe. It's true, it's been weeks since I've worked on my WIPs.  But I guess the real reason is that I've been working every week on this blog not for myself, but for everyone reading it. I realized, while frantically scrolling through 'Post Ideas' lists on the internet on Thursday, I feel like I have to write because I have to, not because I want to. Get what I mean?  I wondered what the point was. If it was worth the effort at all. You might be thinking what a short, usually less than a thousand words post once a week that basically included me ranting required effort for.  Well, writing is hard. And it doesn't always feel the same. So while writing a post every week might

Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History

  The title of this blog is a really popular sentence that's commonly used all over the world. It's often used to refer to the idealistic feminist, the 'badly-behaved' (according to society, anyway) women who stand up against the patriarchy by breaking the invisible (and sometimes visible) rules set for them.  That's not a bad implication of the statement, no. But the original meaning of it is kind of ironic, because most people don't know the woman who actually said this: Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. In her book of the same name, she talks about simple women, who make changes in every corner of the world, but are not recognized for it. Mothers, nurses and teachers cause huge impacts on our lives, yet their stories are often forgotten, or not considered at all.  It's so weird how even now there are certain conditions for everything, including being the proper feminist icon. You have to have a certain skin tone (ever hear of white feminism?) wear certain clothes

E book VS Hard copy books

Disclaimer: These are totally my opinions. Feel free to disagree. Now, you can both read a book on your phone, or get a paperback/hard cover version of it. But which one is better? E book: Pros:   You can travel light, as you are basically carrying an entire library on your phone/laptop/tablet/whatever. You'll always have a book on the go. There's less chance for the book to get damaged.  You don't need to dog-ear your pages or remember to use a bookmark, as it usually saves your place. Cons: It's actually increasing your screen time, so your eyes probably won't thank you for it. You need to charge your device. It's harder to back and forth, if you are looking for a particular portion. You just don't get the feel of a real book, its pages and what-not. Hard copy books: Pros: There is no extra pressure on your eyes, and you can go to sleep while reading. You don't have to recharge the battery. You can just open the book at a random place, and it is much e
