Goodbye 2022

 


I don't know about you, but I feel like 2022 was both miserable and magical (see what I did there?). Which is okay. If you've made it through the year, congratulations! I'm proud of you, and you should be, too. 



Personally, 2022 felt like it lasted a very short time, but when I look back at January of the year, I can hardly believe it's the same year. I was still doing mostly online classes, and most of the books I read during that time were way better than what I finished with. How is it that Turning Red came out this year? It's kind of crazy, actually, how so much can happen in just 365 days. I got to see some family members after a really long time, made new friends, watched weird movies and shows, memorized the lyrics to a bunch of different songs, and visited some really interesting places. 

(I sort of want to write an entire series of posts breaking down every thing I did or saw this year now, but no promises. We'll see if I have the time and motivation to do it.)

I'm really sorry for the lack of posts the last few months. Studying has been stressing me out the entire year, which is sad. I have exams coming up in 2023, and I've been sick the last couple of days, so I'm pretty nervous. I don't really know if I'll be able to post more in 2023, but I'll try. I forgot how fun it is to write here. It feels like I have this little corner of the internet to express my thoughts and ideas, and I'm really grateful for everyone who clicks on my silly posts about books and other random stuff. 

What are you most looking forward to in 2023? Do you have any goals or plans? What were you grateful for this year? Let me know in the comments. This will probably be my last post for this year, which is crazy, but what's life if not that? I wish you all the best for the upcoming year! Thank you, and hopefully I'll be seeing you next year!

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
