Even now...someone might be envious of another. They may be longing for something...without realizing that they already have it.

14.04.2021 - Final's Week

two. things. left. I only have two things left in this hell-scape of a year. I'm writing an exam tonight and my final exam on the 17th and then I am free. I have no nice study photos to share as my desk and room is a mess.

We can do this. The end is in sight! I believe in all of us. Good luck on anything and everything you have left in this term.

Everyone has desires from the moment they're born, so that's easy to understand. But kindness is something that each person has to craft for themselves.

What I want to say is that the past is the past, and the present is what your life is, and you are capable of choosing what that will be, darling citizen.

Mary Oliver, Devotions; “Mornings at Blackwater”

As for the body, it is solid and strong and curious and full of detail; it wants to polish itself; it wants to love another body; it is the only vessel in the world that can hold, in a mix of power and sweetness: words, song, gesture, passion, ideas, ingenuity, devotion, merriment, vanity, and virtue.

Mary Oliver, Devotions; “Evidence”
