🙄🙄🙄 Can totally related.

I hate writing cover letters. It’s unbearable

“A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic and social institutions, a holy force—the power of wisdom and love in action—is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism.”

— Andrew Harvey

Food for thought.

Imagine you were about to move into your dream house and then all of a sudden, everything fell through and you were forced to stay in your current house for another year. Rightfully so, you would be frustrated. But in that moment you have two choices: you can either spend the whole year complaining because you can no longer move into your dream house, or you can start to see your current house in a new way. That bedroom that seemed so boring? You can paint the walls. That kitchen that seemed outdated? You can change the knobs on the cabinet and replace the tiles on the floor. The living room that was nothing exciting? You can learn how to make new curtains or a new rug for the floor. You can start to appreciate and make the most of what was already there. ⠀ This is what it means to learn to be content with you have. Being content with what you have is not settling for what you have. It is learning to see what you already have in a way you might have otherwise overlooked. ⠀ Through contentment, God wants to show you the many beautiful and intricate details of what He is already doing in your life that you may have otherwise overlooked, had you only been focused on what you don’t have yet. ⠀ You may not have your dream house, your dream job, or your dream family yet, but by learning to be content with what you have, God wants you to see the beauty in the life He has already laid in front of you. ⠀ I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. - Philippians 4:11 ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo

Lovey stuff

Story of my life...

do you ever wish you were laying next to someone so bad but instead you fall asleep holding your phone looking at texts they sent you

History

1284 - first written mention of Albanian

1462 - oldest document

1555 - oldest known printed book

1635 - first Latin-Albanian dictionary

1909 - Albanian officially recognized

Albanian absorbed some words from Greek and many words from Latin between the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE. After that, it was influenced by the languages of Slavic and Germanic tribes who settled in the Balkans. There were also borrowings from the Vlachs from the 9th century CE.

Writing system and pronunciation

These are the letters that make up the alphabet: a b c ç d dh e ë f g gj h i j k l ll m n nj o p q r rr s sh t th u v x xh y z zh.

Grammar

Nouns have three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), two numbers (singular and plural), and six cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, and vocative).

Adjectives generally follow the noun they modify and agree with it in gender, number and case. They require a particle preceding them that agrees with the noun they modify.

Verbs are conjugated for tense (21 in total), mood (indicative, subjunctive, admirative, conditional, optative, and imperative), person, and number.

Dialects

There are two main dialects: Tosk, the base for Standard Albanian, and Gheg. Gheg can be divided into Northwest, Northeast, Central, and Southern Gheg, while Tosk includes Northern Tosk, Labërisht, Çam, Arvanitika, and Arbëresh.

The dialects are more or less mutually intelligible. The most remarkable difference is that Gheg has nasal vowels.

PLEEEAASSEEE post all ur “brutally honest” rough drafts you mentioned a couple days ago ... and post them as is. Strike my nerves and make me suffer!!!! If other people on here end up making crybaby posts about you on LSA (yes I’ve looked through the posts on all ur tags LOL) then that’s on THEM!!! You’re an anonymous hannah montana blog anyways 💅🏼 they’ll never find out your identity. I snort your posts the same way paris & lindsay snorted cocaine in 2006

Oh you mean like how I was gonna mention that:

Clothes and hair doesn’t make you feminine. You could put on all the heels and makeup you want but with one glance, I can still see that massive agressive energy you’re trying to hide. Femininity cannot be “put on” and “taken off”

There are genuine repercussions to the extreme promiscuity society pushes on girls these days, both socially and mentally, but you all can continue to pretend that it doesn’t exist so that you don’t have to deal with the truth that lies beneath #feminist #girlboss

One day we’ll all look back and laugh at how a bunch of teenagers online declared themselves the new authoritative figures on what classifies as sex and gender and then gave them the power to decide who is a bigot and who is not based on if they play along with the rules of using made up words to describe things that don’t really exist. That’ll be something.

“Diet culture” is not inherently bad. Some people just like fitness and being in shape 🤨. trying to make it seem like anything and everything related to dieting is evil and should be outlawed is honestly laughable.

Many of you claim you have such bad relationships with men bc men are inherently bad but scrolling through your blogs for one minute let’s me know right off the bat that you are simply awful to be around. Fun sucker. Overly sensitive. Big headed. Think you know everything when you don’t. Constantly injecting your awful opinions into every little thing. Just...a headache 😓

I think many of you forget that straight women still exist lol. “Why does this blog talk about dating ughhh who cares about boyssss” some of us are sexually attracted to men, Christina.

“I do such and such 100% for myself 😤😤” shut up no you don’t. Stop lying to yourself.

I am begging you to reconsider getting that cartoon character surgery that makes you look like the letter S. I am begging. Pleading, even.

If you make a moodboard called “classy life 💎” and include pictures of cardi b, just go ahead and log off

I’m really tired of seeing god awful wigs left and right. Truly. Learning to take care of your own natural self is better than buying it in the long run. Growing long strong healthy hair will be more beneficial than having a wig collection. I know that many women have grown up inseparable from their constant roster of fake hair but I promise that the satisfaction of knowing that the hair on your head that looks BOMB AF is real can never be outdone by fake hair. There is absolutely a time and a place for unnatural hair but come on now....

It’s always the most DYSFUNCTIONAL women calling themselves queen this and queen that. Ma’am..please. That’s enough! I understand that it may be a confidence booster but most of y’all just have unglodly egos that have no merit to stand on 😭

Just bc you don’t like something doesn’t make it an -ist or an -ism. You’re just bored and spend too much time on Twitter getting half baked education from other people who also don’t know what they’re talking about. And that’s on echo chambers!

Idk maybe I’ll save the rest for a later time... 🤭🤭

God’s Control and Our Prayers

John 14:13-14

Have you ever wondered why we pray if God already knows everything? What do our prayers accomplish?

First, communicating with God connects His Spirit with ours. A relationship can’t survive if the two parties don’t speak with each other.

Second, God communicates His will to His children through prayer. If we’re seeking to please Him, then we will pray with an open heart and mind. In turn, the Lord puts upon us the desire to ask Him for those things He wants to bring into our life.

Third, communing with God gives us the opportunity to participate in His kingdom on earth. As we learn to trust Him for answers, He gives us greater tasks in prayer. The Lord will turn our heart to pray for the salvation of a friend or family member, people suffering from disasters, or the state of our nation. When we see an answer, whether it’s big or small, we will know He blessed us by including us in the process.

God calls on His children to pray, because He wants us to be involved in His work. It’s a privilege for us to freely go before God and know that He is interested in what we have to say. In fact, He is pleased when we ask Him to meet our needs or the needs of someone else. And if we are praying according to His will and not our own, He answers every time.
