There'll Be A Moment When You Realise You're 27 When Yesterday You Were Just 17; And You Wouldn't Be

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

cozy Japanese youtube channels~

here are some youtube channels I recommend if you want to enjoy some easy-going, chill content in Japanese ^-^

Haru ch. はる🌷　🌿 i recommend her animal crossing streams! her town is really pretty and the language she uses is quite easy to follow ^^

nao　🌿 she makes wonderfully calm and relaxing videos of her daily life. she doesn’t talk in her videos but she narrates what’s she’s doing via subtitles (if you prefer reading then you’ll enjoy this channel!)

Choki　🌿 similar to naoさん. lovely aesthetic/asmr videos following her daily life (and lots of delicious cooking!)

カフェとノート / Nakanote　🌿 stationary/study channel. i really like her narration style and note-taking tips!

in living.　🌿 one my fave youtube channels! she chats about recent purchases, moving house, morning/night routines etc. super chill and enjoyable to watch.

those are my recommendations! let me know if you end up watching any of these channels (and if you have similar recs please reply and i’ll check them out!)

so i'm seeing this post go around quite a bit uncritically with links to straight up donate to ukrainian neo-nazi groups so i'll break it down, here's the post you'll probably see:

here's the contents of one link, calling themselves "freikorps" and using what looks to be an azov battalion insignia as an avatar:

and here's what the azov battalion is if you don't know:

now here's another link this time with with a pic of ppl flying a right sector flag:

if you dont know what right sector is:

so please don't donate to this shit, the situation isn't just some simple little good guy vs big bad guy thing, if you see someone sharing that post, try sharing this with them bcus they probably don't know
