Und dann frag ich mich ,,Was zur Hölle geht in deinem Kopf vor?“.
- Hommella
Was ist mit uns passiert?
Ist es die Zeit? Werden wir älter? Wir sind doch die selben Leute,… Warum ist es dann so komisch?
Gott, testest du mich? Testest du eine Ungläubige, um zu sehen ob ich es ohne dich schaffe?
Ja ich bin dir und deiner Religion so weit entfernt, wie der Nordpol dem Südpol,… und ich werde kämpfen,…ohne zu fragen was ich tun soll.
„Ja es ist alles gut!“ ist doch nicht die Wahrheit. Es ist eine Aussage, dass man sich an die negativen Dinge angepasst hat und man Nichts anderes erwartet. Deswegen und nur deswegen ist alles gut. Die Situation ist es nicht.

The ability to make the best out of any situation.
If someone really loves you, they wouldn’t let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is.
I hate it when people do this
Simone de Beauvoir’s garden of meaning
What is existentialism? For Simone de Beauvoir (b. 1908) the discipline is a response to the human need to find a ‘place in a world turned upside down’. It cannot be explained succinctly. Still, let’s have a go.
Pyrrhus and Cineas
In her 1944 essay Pyrrhus and Cineas Beauvoir looks to explain humanity’s quest to find meaning by way of analogy.
Pyrrhus has a plan:
‘We are going to subjugate Greece first,’ says Pyrrhus.
‘And after that?’ asked Cineas.
We will vanquish Africa.’
‘After Africa?’
‘We will go onto Asia … ’
‘And after that?’
‘We will go on as far as India.’
‘After India?’
‘Ah! I will rest.’
‘Why not rest right away?’
According to Beauvoir, Cineas’ question haunts our projects. For why do anything? What’s the point? We’re only going to end up where we started.
However, it’s only Pyrrhus who leads an authentic life. Whereas many people fail even to question their lives, he directs himself towards goals, having the imagination to forge something for himself from the world.
Pyrrhus doesn’t leave to return home, where he started: he leaves to conquer; then to conquer again … Each time he decides a new end. Each time he ‘transcends’ his situation.
‘The paradox of the human condition is that every end can be surpassed, and yet, the project defines the end as an end.’
The garden
The values we draw from our projects are never intrinsic, ready-made, or universal. To believe they are is to possess bad faith.
‘By identifying himself with his sex, his country, his class, with the whole of humanity [or God], a man can increase his garden, but he increases it only in words … [T]he fly on the stagecoach claims he is the one who led the carriage to the top of the hill.’
We give the world meaning through our engagement with it, an act which is accomplished with freedom and subjectivity. We throw ourselves towards ends with uncertainty: the price of leaving the world of ennui and inertia behind us. But, by choosing the locations and the limits of our projects, we snatch ‘the world from the darkness of absurdity’.
This garden must belong to me; I cultivate it. It even transcends me when I die.
‘I am enclosed within it until death because that garden becomes mine from the moment I cultivate it.’
It matters that our values are not given to us. My garden cannot be merged with the sterile void of the Universe, a passive equilibrium.
Being is not fixed to things: being is fixed to itself in a mode of transcendence. Like Pyrrhus’ journey, projects don’t end: ends are surpassed by other ends. Conquer or rest: it doesn’t matter which you choose. Just choose!
⁂
‘Is that my business? What does India matter? And what does Epirus matter? Why call this soil, this woman, these children mine? I brought these children into the world; they are here. The woman is next to me; the soil is under my feet. No tie exists between them and me. Mr Camus’s Stranger thinks like this; he feels foreign to the whole world, which is completely foreign to him … The inert existence of things is separation and solitude.’

Yup, it’s that time of the year again where I’m left without internet because a certain mother decided not to pay for it in two months. The bill, as usual, piled up so idk how long it will be til I’m back after this post (last time, ironically, it was the day after I mentioned it).
I can “still” get on from my aunt’s (which is from where I’m posting this), but my access is usually restricted depending on her company. I don’t have any wips to show, save for the gijinka that will be revealed, but showing it to everyone would spoil the surprise.
Tl;dr, no net at home with a typhoon of college work is a clusterfuck of death that’s taking up my time, so even then I would rarely be able to use her net.
#FINNISH NIGHTMARES
“When a stranger looks you in the eyes - and smiles.” On the street I try to avoid eye contact as much as I can but since I am always somewhere else with my mind, I usually don´t even notice when someone is staring at me. It´s probably better that way, I would not know how to handle this situation :‘D
This picture was taken when the lake was still frozen and it was cold. Now the sun is shining and spring is right around the corner. I can´t wait for it´s arrival. (◡‿◡✿)

#FINNISH NIGHTMARES
“Someone sits next to you in public transport - and then they start speaking to you.” For me it´s already uncomfortable when someone is just sitting next to me and if they talk to me it´s the worst. Please leave me alone. (>__<)
Finnish Nightmares was actually one of the first things I discovered when I came to Finland. It is about a Finn named Matti and his struggle with uncomfortable situations in everyday life. I really love those small cartoons because I can relate to them so much. You can find more of them here: http://finnishnightmares.blogspot.fi/
