So I’ve just reached score 70 in french and according to Duo, I can now read short stories! Anyone has any good recommendations for some short easy reads, stories or articles I can test and practice my language with? Thanks in advance 🙂↔️
It’s the end of the month and I am planning to restart my life again tomorrow (July 1st; my excuse is that it’s the first day of the month and the first day of the second half of the year). If I told you that I’ve been restarting my life from the age of 6 (I’m currently 30) would you believe me? And when I say restarting it I mean every day or every 2 days or at the start of a new week or a new month or if i had 30 or 60 or 90 days til my birthday. I find every excuse to restart my life hoping that I’ll do everything perfectly (it almost never lasts for more than 5 days!), whenever i sense the slightest mistake or failure or imperfection I decide to stop everything and start planning again.
When I say i stop everything and restart I mean I restart everything from my skin care to my personal relationships to my studying. I have an exam and I’ve been repeating chapter one for almost a month now, risking the possibility of never finishing what I have to study. I sometimes cancel everything when someone else bother me or treat me badly, cause I want my surrounding to be all perfect.
It has been a long time but today I just felt exhausted, I’m sick of waiting for 12:00 am on the first day of the month to start doing what I actually want to do. I’m sick of setting all those goals and never wait to see any progress cause I’m always resetting. I’m sick of pretending that the person who I was yesterday is not who I am today and I just can’t stop all these thoughts.
Is there any terminology for what I have? Am I the only one who is like this? Is there any possible solution for my behaviors?
Finished it 3 hours ago and I absolutely loved it but I couldn’t help but noticing how similar it was to both Yellowface and Bunny (specially bunny!), I’m just wondering if you think this was intentional or not? Is it possible that the author was just inspired by the books? The similarities were so obvious, the belladonnas were identical to the bunnies and that really made me suspicious
I loved the book and I gave it 5 stars but I’m just wondering if there was ever any controversy around how similar those books are
