Desi culture is knowing exactly what comes after asali masale sach sach

“are you a twilight fan?”

you gotta be more specific. fan of the characters? fan of the fandom and its head canons? fan of the world? without a doubt

fan of the content itself? debatable. i am a judgemental analyst at best

It's just....so hard to come with desi dark academia stuff. Our academia is so westernised and colonized, how do we reclaim it? Our education system imitates the west, we believe the west is superior, west, west, west, it's all about the goddamn west. Our textbooks are in English, our uniforms are western, we are taught to hate our languages and cultures. How on earth can I find desi stuff in this? I've tried to so many times. It's one thing to see pretty moodboards and textposts on Tumblr, and another to actually inculcate that in your life. I just don't know how to do the latter. I want this aesthetic to be fully part of my life, but it's becoming increasingly clear that it's not possible.

HELP I'M TOO FAR GONE

I wish. lol.

i love all my mistakes i had fun

Last week, I learned that the English language has more euphemisms for death than any other language. I learned that the ancient Greeks had no word for the colour blue and that the Hawain alphabet has only twelve letters. I spent last week hollowing out a little place in my heart and filling it with worry. What does that say about us? Do we really go out of our way to avoid death like that? How did the Greeks describe the sea? Are twelve letters really enough? Does every language have a word for love? Every language should have a word for love. And compassion. And gentleness. And figs and snow and that soft sensitive part on the inside of one’s arm. We should have words for everything so that we don’t feel alone. We need very very very specific words for all of the different kinds of sad and even more specific words for the kinds of happy. What if we were able to talk about everything? I want to tell you how I feel and I want to be precise. Sometimes ‘good’ just isn’t enough and few understand what I mean when I say that I feel ’like lightning.’

You're not your Tumblr aesthetic.

gentle reminder: you are loved and appreciated by so many people

Now ask me the most basic question.

What. Do. We. Eat?!?!?
