“Please be patient with me. Sometimes when I’m quiet it’s because I need to figure myself out. It’s not because I don’t want to talk. Sometimes there are no words for my thoughts.”

— Kamla Bolanos

“I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.”

— Nikita Gill

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

some thoughts

“J'ai pardonné des erreurs presque impardonnables, j'ai essayé de remplacer des personnes irremplaçables et oublié des personnes inoubliables. J'ai agi par impulsion, j'ai été déçu par des gens que j'en croyais incapables, mais j'ai déçu des gens aussi. J'ai tenu quelqu'un dans mes bras pour le protéger. Je me suis fait des amis éternels. J'ai ri quand il ne le fallait pas. J'ai aimé et je l'ai été en retour, mais j'ai aussi été repoussé. J'ai été aimé et je n'ai pas su aimer. J'ai crié et sauté de tant de joies, j'ai vécu d'amour et fait des promesses éternelles, mais je me suis brisé le cœur, tant de fois ! J'ai pleuré en écoutant de la musique ou en regardant des photos. J'ai téléphoné juste pour entendre une voix, je suis déjà tombé amoureux d'un sourire. J'ai déjà cru mourir par tant de nostalgie. J'ai eu peur de perdre quelqu'un de très spécial (que j'ai fini par perdre). Mais j'ai survécu ! Et je vis encore ! Et la vie, je ne m'en lasse pas. Et toi non plus tu ne devrais pas t'en lasser. Vis ! Ce qui est vraiment bon, c'est de se battre avec persuasion, embrasser la vie et vivre avec passion, perdre avec classe et vaincre en osant… parce que le monde appartient à celui qui ose ! La vie est beaucoup trop belle pour être insignifiante !”

English: “I have forgiven mistakes that were indeed almost unforgivable. I’ve tried to replace people who were irreplaceable and tried to forget those who were unforgettable. I’ve acted on impulse, have been disappointed by people when I thought that this could never be possible. But I have also disappointed those who I love. I have laughed at inappropriate occasions. I’ve made friends that are now friends for life. I’ve screamed and jumped for joy. I’ve loved and I’ve been loved. But I have also been rejected, and I have been loved without loving the person back. I’ve lived for love alone and made vows of eternal love. I’ve had my heart broken many, many times! I’ve cried while listening to music and looking at old pictures. I’ve called someone just to hear their voice on the other side. I have fallen in love with a smile. At times, I thought I would die because I missed someone so much. At other times, I felt very afraid that I might lose someone very special (which ended up happening anyway). But I have lived! And I still continue living everyday. I’m not just passing through life…and you shouldn’t either. Live! The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to live everyday with passion, to lose and still keep the faith and to win while being grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.”

meu coração é jardim quando se trata de você, e só você soube como cuidar, na verdade acho que foi você quem o descobriu e me mostrou dos mais lindos sentimentos, como quem mostra das mais lindas flores, e pensar que esta partindo deixa tudo aqui dentro sem cor, sem vida, meu jardim morre um pouco mais a cada dia quando penso em não te ter mais aqui.

“As vezes é mais fácil dizer adeus do que tentar fazer alguém ficar.”

Você não depende de mim pra ser feliz.

I wish for you to be madly loved. • André Breton, French writer and poet (1896-1966)

Please stop mixing these up, I’m begging you

Because words mean things, here are some definitions. All of these taken from their respective Wikipedia articles.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language, and involves an analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context.

Polyglotism or multilingualism is the ability to master, or the state of having mastered, multiple languages. Sometimes people who are currently learning languages in an effort to become fluent in them are also called polyglots.

Philology is the study of language in written historical sources; it is a combination of literary criticism, history, and linguistics.

Ergo:

Some linguists are also polyglots, but not all of them.

Basic linguistic knowledge is necessary to learn a language, but they’re still separate things.

Polyglots know how to drive different kinds of vehicles. Linguists are mechanics.
