Coffee & Notes & Alka-seltzer

mornin’ 👋🏻

They cut down my favourite tree, the tree of my childhood. Lichen grew on its trunk and squirrels climbed its branches. And they ask girls why we’re angry, so full of rage, dormant volcanoes. The tree was my childhood and its branches my god, the tree was my childhood and its roots my tether, its leaves my dreams. The tree was my childhood and they cut it down. They ask me why I’m angry and I ask them to regrow my tree, give me back my girlhood.

after a whole week of just working, i finally have four days off! forced myself to do lab prep for tomorrow and studied a bit for my biochem midterm next week. planning to pull all nighters,,, pray for me guys.

instead of studying for my chem midterm, my friend and i went to an exhibition on indigenous arts. on the first floor there was also this cute lil cafe named ‘katita’ where we just had some cookies n tea

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.

are u a "I can only have 4 tabs open or I will spontaneously combust" person or a "I have 83 tabs open and at least 12 of them are exactly the same" person

do you ever sabotage your own free time? like wtf is that about? i want to play this game or read or do something specific but instead i will just stare out the window or scroll mindlessly???
