Birthday today
I can’t be the only one who has an existential crisis on their birthday.
I’m going to tell you a secret: You don’t have to believe every thought that pops into your head.
"God, how I ricochet between certainties and doubts."
— Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
tbh we really need to have a conversation about digital poverty cos assuming all students have both their own laptop and a reliable wifi connection stinks of classism
We love seeing raw truth and openness in other people, but we’re afraid to let them see it in us.
I think part of the reason why we hold on to something so tightly is we fear something great won’t happen twice.
People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
— Søren Kierkegaard, The Journals of Kierkegaard
