Finished reading "As long as the lemon trees grow" by Zoulfa Katour and OMG I LOVED IT. I was so tempted to cry lots of times and had to pause my reading because the scenes were so painful. It really broke my heart to know ppl are going through such awful experiences...But it did help me to value more life and everyday happiness. I feel I not only saw Salama grow, but I grew up with her... <3

I'm so motivated to study languages again! I'm spending most of my free time listening to podcasts, watching videos in English and French and reading articles. However, time's not on my side! I can barely study Quechua and Russian, most of the time I'm too tired or busy 😔 balancing all my studies is so hard. Any advice?

Yesterday I studied so much for today's exam (Labour Law) and in the end I did it great. Sadly, I'm not doing ok, I guess I overworked my body, but my neck and back are hurting again and I'm tired...

So this is not a love-at-first-sight story, but it's a I realized you were meant for me story: When I was 10 years old, my dog Raisa had seven puppies: Pierina, Lupita, Canela, Candy, Lola, Rubi and Cristal. When I met them, I instantly fell in love with Canela: we had a connection so strong I would spend most of the time with her and she would look for me all the time. By the time she was two months, my family decided it was time to set them up for adoption and I prayed so hard Canela would stay with me...well she was the first one to go and I was indeed heartbroken. But I still had to take care of the other fur-babies, so I kept taking care of them as always. By the time they were almost six months old, only Lola was still up for adoption (Cristal was adopted by my grandparents so she stayed with us) and we were having a hard time looking for her furever home. By that time I was forming a strong bond with her until, one day, I finally decided to oficially adopt her. Now Lola is 10 years old and I've never regretted my decision. Lola became my soul dog and the light of my days, giving me the strength to survive every day. I've struggled with mental health issues for years now, and Lola has helped me through my worst moments <3

I have three exams in one day and ngl, this seems harder I than I thought. I'm really tired and I'm struggling focusing on what the teacher is saying. I'm afraid I'll be too worn out during the exams and fail miserably. I may get out for coffee later 'cause I'm craving it 😔😔
