i hate this fucking "i'm just a girl" brand of feminism bc it is so easy for young women in their 20s who are afraid of big changes and personal growth to revert to depending on their gender and the associated fragility of it so that they can make it through life when really they're just trapping themselves in a position where they cannot and will not grow out of that fear.
With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing itβs going to be free and also ad free, Iβd just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.

Hello everyone, I have been missing in action for a couple of months, and I haven't really explained myself properly... I have hinted at having some big life changes coming my way, but it was way bigger than I could've anticipated.
Basically, I have lost almost all financial support, so now I have to financially support myself, including paying for the scholarships (which isn't much since I am almost at the end of my Bachelor's degree, thankfully).
It was a very difficult situation, and here and there I really had to strap in to make it thru, but I believe the worst has passed. Now I am financially stable, but I am still struggling with balancing everything on my plate, studies and a full time job. Our curriculum is designed so you only have that on your plate + an internship, not a full time job also. All that combined with my not-so-great mental health... Yeah it's a struggle.
So yeah. I initially made this blog for motivation to finish my studies, but during this time my studies became such a sore spot for me, because all of it made me feel inadequate, since I really struggled to study as much as I've wanted to, and my schoolwork took a massive hit. I know it's silly considering my situation, but that's how I felt, and hell I still do. That is the feeling I have to learn how to deal with.
If you are in a similar situation - please know you are not alone. I know in a sea of pretty pictures and motivational quotes it can feel like you are not doing enough, but you have to live and learn by your tempo... Or your health will pay the price, which is something I am still paying. And hell, it ain't worth it!
Thank you for reading this, lots of love πππ
A crucial piece of evidence in support of a long-standing hypothesis on planet formation has been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), meaning astronomers are confident they've got a part of the cosmic process right. JWST data processed by an international team of researchers backs up the theory of 'icy pebble drift', which is thought to be vital in bringing together the dust and rocks that eventually turn into planets like our own. Simply put, icy pebble drift works like this: as tiny, ice-covered bits of material bump together in the outer reaches of a young protoplanetary disk they lose momentum, allowing them to fall towards the star into a warmer zone where their frozen coating sublimates. It's from this ring of fine debris and water vapor that rocky planets form, effectively serving as a delivery service of building materials right across a newborn solar system.

I feel you... I am a bit younger, but I have lost so many years too, and with that I feel like I've lost myself too. Something that has helped me is to lower my expectations and slow down in life, and to allow myself to grieve those lost times. Also to allow myself to be disappointed, and than forgive yourself. You don't have to be anything right now, you just have to exist and keep pushing forward. And have the belief that the answer will reveal itself to you the more you allow yourself to experience life. At least, that is what I am hoping for.
Also don't forget you are way stronger than you think! π
i KNOW that 25 is not old i KNOW that i have more time to be someone but i also feel like i have lost so much youth to my mental illness and grief and that in itself is part of the reason why i cannot bring myself to be anything
Hello everyone, I have gone offline for past few days... I have had family business to sort out. Honestly it was difficult, but most of it went well! A lot of long lasting family issues got resolved in the past few days, and it was a breath of fresh air! That being said - I have received news regarding my housing and financial situation that are... less than pleasant to hear. Fortunately, they won't impact me or my studies right now, but I have to plan for the future. So focusing on that is my objective as of right now. The next three months of my life are going to be extremely difficult, and I will have to correspond with people who... were horrible to me both in the past and right now, but I can manage. That means I will be extremely busy... That's why I've decided to rest for this weekend! So yeah. Thank you to anyone who decides to read this! Take care-
