I still don’t understand the concept of Queue on Tumblr.

Yes, if I’m on here I will repost many things in a short period of time, yes, I will spam, and if I’m busy with real life I won’t, couldn’t be bothered.

If I’m dead inside so will be my Tumblr.

We are one after all.

Howl truly is the man of all time. He’s a playboy. He’s a malewife. He fell in love with a ninety year old woman. He’s a rugby player. He smells like hyacinths. He’s not a natural blond. When dying his hair went slightly wrong, he filled his home with slime. He has a PhD. He’s a wizard. He found a way to another universe and he told absolutely nobody about it. He makes video games about the magical universe for his nephews. He can’t play the guitar. He always takes a guitar with him when he’s trying to seduce a woman. He’s a self-proclaimed coward. He got drunk to trick himself into doing something dangerous. He overcharges for his services to rich people. He undercharges for his services to poor people. A woman invaded his home and declared herself his cleaning lady and he just let her stay. He loves spiders. He lies about his surname to everyone, including royalty. The true spelling of his first name is Howell, but we don’t find out until halfway through the book because the POV character thinks it’s spelled Howl. He’s even Welsh.

I just love being at the ripe age of 23.

Most people I know are getting engaged in Paris and going on all these fancy trips and dates and stuff.

Meanwhile, I’m just glad that I managed to finish another semester of med school, and my idea of fun is going back to my hometown and chilling with my parents and my cat.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time.

But every now and then I get reminded how different the lives of the people I study with are from my own. And I just can’t help but wonder—Is the grass really greener on the other side?
