do it for her (your thirteen year old self)
there’s such an unhealthy stigma, especially in academic communities, surrounding taking time off or dropping out. putting education above your health and well-being isn’t okay and should not be the standard. obviously there are positives to school/college/uni, but the environment created by the education system can be so horrifically damaging in so many ways, and demonising stepping away from or leaving it only makes it worse. as much as education is important, your health and well-being are infinitely more so.
it is okay to take breaks. it’s okay to take a year off. it’s okay to leave if that’s what you need to do. dropping out does not make you stupid, nor does it make you a failure. take care of yourself first and foremost. traditional education is not the only way to learn.
Xiao's birthday letters to Traveler summarised:
2021 birthday: I caught crystalflies for you. I visualised them in your hair
2022: I listened to starconches on the beach wondering if I'd hear your voice
2023: I visited a friend and they threw a party, please come if you have the time
This birthday, 2024: I dream of you. Do I deserve to dream so sweetly?
In conclusion:
I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology
