The Only Name That Comes To Mind Aside From My Parents Is Beyza♡

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

These stunning watercolors recently came across our desk, and we just had to share them.

They are bound into our copy of Elisha Kane's "The US Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin," published in 1854, which chronicles the First Grinnell Expedition to determine the fate of Franklin's journey into the Northwest Passage in 1845.

Both of Franklin's ships became icebound, and none aboard survived. The shipwrecks were found in 2014 and 2016.

Set the language on video games, editing softwares, social networking sides, skype etc. to the language you’re learning.

Have song lyrics in the language you’re learning translated until you understand all(or most) of it and listen to these songs over and over. This helps you...
