I saw a post on Tumblr that said, “The idealized future version of myself cannot exist without my current self being the catalyst for change and doing hard things,” and it stuck with me.

Evlenirsen pişman olursun. Evlenmezsen de pişman olursun. Çocuk yapsan da yapmasan da pişman olursun. Kierkegaard bunu 200 yıl önce şöyle söylemiştir:
"Neyi seçersen seç pişman olursun. Çünkü sorun tercihlerinde değil yaşanmamış bir hayatı romantize etmendir. İnsan her daim gidilmemiş bir yolu cazibeli ve gizemli bulur. Bu yüzden mesele en doğru seçimi yapman değil. Hangi pişmanlıkla yaşayacağını seçip karar vermendir."
Sen neye karar verdin?

I'm in love with this sentence:

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

Phillis Wheatley is the first African woman to be ever published. Flora Nwapa being the first woman to publish a novel is also wrong. As early as the 20 century we have isiXhosa fiction (Lilita Kakaza published two novels: Intyatyambo Yomzi, 1913 & UTandiwe wakwa Gcaleka, 1914).
