My name is Deborah. I like Shakespeare and fruit.

You focus on the wrong stuff. It’s true, you are terrible at a lot of things, but there are a couple things that nobody else does as well as you do. It drives me bananas that you will — you will throw yourself away completely because of one or two things that you think about that you think are wrong about you. And that’s what breaks my heart … You gotta ignore those and lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else. Fake it. Fake your way upwards.

#ah #I want to see #mistaken for strangers #so badly #mostly because it looks like the movie version of 'between two ferns' #except it's about my favorite band? #also just #matt #saying here what I've tried to say to people so many times in the last year #except I would add that there's sort of a line #when it comes to picking parts of yourself that you like #people aren't trailmix #you don't get to just choose the delicious parts of them #and you have to understand yourself and other people as complete beings #and figure out how to forgive the imperfections #at least in someone you love #and definitely in yourself #um so yeah

Teach me mortality, frighten me
into the present. Help me to find
the heft of these days.

I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”

like what stupid frenchman saw this:

and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”

j’adore comment ananas se dit pineapple en anglais, ce qui veut littéralement dire “pomme de pin”, genre quel type anglais a vu ça:

et s’est dit : “ow cette étrange big fruit ressemble à une, how do you say, POMME! hmmm… mais plutôt une pomme qui pousse dans les pins… HU HU HU! OH YES, IT’S A PINEAPPLE!”

(z’avez vu, on peut le faire aussi… hon hon hon!)

Well then.
