"how much can one person lose before destiny finally keeps it's promise?"

i don’t think i’ll ever outgrow my love for flowers. maybe because they ask for nothing except a little water and a little light yet they still manage to make everything around them feel gentler. i’ll always stop in front of flower shops, i’ll always convince myself that one more bouquet is worth it and i’ll always fall in love with the way fresh flowers make a house feel like a home. if you ever want to leave a piece of yourself with me don’t buy me anything extravagant. just bring me flowers. i’ll remember them long after the petals are gone

“and the avatar let us down”

it’s painful to hear those words after everything korra went through. because people only remember the moments when she couldn’t save them. they remember her mistakes, her failures, the times when things went wrong but they forget everything she had to lose along the way
they forget the girl who was taken away from a normal life because she was born with a responsibility she never asked for. the girl who carried the weight of an entire world on her shoulders while everyone expected her to always have the answers.
they forget how many times korra was broken. how she lost herself after every battle, how she questioned whether she was still strong enough, whether she was still worthy of being the avatar.
she fought enemies who wanted to destroy her but sometimes the hardest battles were the ones inside her own mind and after everything she sacrificed, the world still looked at her like she was the problem
they saw the avatar who failed. they didn’t see the person who kept getting back up.
korra was never perfect. she was never supposed to be. she was human. she was hurt, she was scared and she was lost but she never stopped trying to protect everyone.

you’ll never be forgotten korra.

your fav spidey girl watched the movie and of course she had thoughts

september is finally here

i’ve never really been an autumn person and i never used to understand why everyone got so excited about this season but somehow this year feels different and for the first time i’m actually looking forward to it
i’m already thinking about all the autumn shows i wanna watch getting a hot chocolate before going to work those cold mornings and coming home when it’s already dark and just sitting somewhere cozy and watching my shows
i think i’m more excited for the feeling that comes with autumn than autumn itself it just feels like a little fresh start and i kinda love that

idk maybe this is the year i finally become an autumn girl :))
but whatever it is i’m just really happy to be excited for september this time

also i’m making a little promise to myself to take more pictures this month so i can actually have a september dump at the end of it because i always tell myself i’ll do it and somehow never do

تازگیا با substack آشنا شدم و واقعاً حس می‌کنم یه دنیای جدید پیدا کردم
پر از مقاله‌های جالب درباره‌ی همه‌چی؛ از موضوعات خیلی روزمره و شخصی گرفته تا چیزایی که شاید هیچ‌وقت بهشون فکر نکرده باشم. چیزی که خیلی دوستش دارم اینکه می‌تونم افکار، تجربه‌ها و نگاه آدمای مختلف به دنیا رو بخونم و با طرز فکرهای متفاوت آشنا بشم.
هنوز خیلی چیزا توش هست که باید بگردم و کشفشون کنم و واقعاً برام تازگی داره. حس می‌کنم قراره کلی چیز جالب ازش پیدا کنم و بخونم.
هر چیزی که بخونم و حس کنم ارزش به اشتراک گذاشتن داره حتماً اینجا می‌ذارم و دربار‌ش حرف می‌زنم و می‌گم چه فکری درباره‌ش داشتم. 🤍

من همیشه یه علاقه‌ی عجیب و یه جورایی توضیح‌ندادنی به نیویورک تو فصل پاییز داشتم. نمی‌دونم دقیقاً چیه که این‌قدر منو جذب می‌کنه؛ شاید هوای خنکش، خیابون‌هایی که پر از برگ‌های زرد و نارنجی می‌شن، نور چراغ‌های شهر وقتی هوا کم‌کم تاریک می‌شه یا شاید خود نیویورک که انگار حتی ساده‌ترین لحظه‌هاش هم یه حس سینمایی دارن
خیلی وقت‌ها با خودم فکر کردم چقدر دوست داشتم یه عصر پاییزی واقعاً اونجا باشم؛ بدون اینکه جایی برای رفتن داشته باشم فقط توی خیابون‌ها قدم بزنم، یه قهوه‌ی گرم دستم باشه و چراغ‌های شهر رو وقتی هوا تاریک می‌شه تماشا کنم. فکر کنم از اون لحظه‌هایی باشه که آدم دلش می‌خواد زمان یه کم آروم‌تر بگذره.

شاید چیزی که من توی پاییز دوست دارم همینه؛ اینکه همه‌چیز رو یه کم قشنگ‌تر و شاعرانه‌تر می‌کنه. حتی یه خیابون معمولی، یه عصر ساده یا یه لحظه‌ی کوتاه می‌تونه تبدیل بشه به چیزی که تا مدت‌ها توی ذهنت بمونه
و نمی‌دونم چرا ولی وقتی به یه عصر پاییزی فکر می‌کنم همیشه نیویورک میاد توی ذهنم. شاید بعضی شهرها رو قبل از اینکه واقعاً ببینیم یه جایی توی خیالمون زندگی کردیم
