The-poet-soul - Jagda's

My therapist told me something meaningful yesterday, she said “It’s important to remember that when you’re depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentile towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn’t break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think “I am a failed athelete” they think, “right now something isn’t working so i’ll take care of myself until it does.“ 

Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out, and pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don’t feel better is just like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn’t heal.

Shakshuka

I’m the kind of person that can eat breakfast at any time of day. It’s something that my mom teases me about pretty frequently. I don’t care if it’s cereal, pancakes or scrambled eggs, I’ll probably eat it for dinner. But my favorite brinner (breakfast and dinner) option off all time is Shakshuka.

Rich, savory and filling, Shakshuka is my go-to option for a healthy breakfast meal. It’s filled to the brim with veggies and killer seasonings, so I never feel bad when I come back for seconds. This version is also vegetarian friendly, so my veg heads celebrate!

Ingredients:

1 Loaf of bread 

6 Eggs

2 Cans of tomato sauce

5 Tomatoes

3 Bell peppers ( Red, yellow or orange)

2 Zucchini

2 Yellow Squash

1 Pkg of Mushrooms

1 Onion

3 Garlic cloves

1/4Tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Salt

2 Tbsp Pepper

2 Tbsp Cumin

1 Tbsp Paprika

Directions:

*Note: I usually chop all of my ingredients beforehand so that I can just drop them all in the skillet at the same time.

Put butter, garlic and onion in pan and saute until fragrant.

Add mushrooms, bell peppers. 

After bell peppers have softened up a bit, add your squash and zucchini

Put a lid on the pan and let the veggies sit for a while until everything has softened

Add tomatoes and tomato sauce

Add all of your spices into the dish, making sure to stir well. 

Put the lid back on the pan, turn the flame on low and wait until the tomatoes reduce into a sauce. 

After the tomatoes have reduced, poach the eggs until your satisfaction.

Serve with fresh bread and enjoy!

a real ass guide to life

there’s a lot of shit on here about lighting candles and waking up early to see the sunset and if we are being hella honest, no one actually does that. u probably don’t own candles or if u do there in a closet and the only time you wake up early all year round is never. so here’s a guide to actual human beings.

-wake up when you need to. don’t wake up at 5 to “journal” and “meditate.” sleep is more important. if you have a class at 9, wake up at 8. it’s simple. - eat something. it doesn’t have to be avocado toast. just have a bagel or a bowl of cocoa puffs. - have ur meds if u take any - attempt to look nice. at least brush your hair and your teeth. but honestly no one cares how u dress. if you wanna dress like a stripper, then dress like a goddamn stripper. honestly no one cares. (but if ur in hs try to follow the dress code a little bit?) - wear makeup if u want, or if you don’t then don’t. - ur probably not gonna exercise or stretch. who cares. i dont. your friends don’t. if ur feeling up to it then go jog 4 miles, but if ur not then don’t. - actually try to have a plan of what ur doing for that day. attend ur classes, and do ur work. ur education is hella important. FUCKING DO IT. kill those grades, murder everyone else in that class, impress and surprise ur teacher, parents, and everyone else who thought u couldn’t do it - attempt to be social. make plans with friends and try to go. it can be lowkey and only like an hr. eat pizza or go to a bar. just have fun. - eat healthy. eat a hamburger when u really want a hamburger and eat a large pizza when u really want a large pizza but try ur hardest to eat healthyish. - watch ya shows. who doesn’t love some amazing netflix binges? watch it. do it. - actually read. books are honestly the best. at least try to pick up the first harry potter. - go to sleep before 2AM!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ sleep is hella important. - shower. you don’t need to buy expensive bath bombs or candles and have a fancy bath and coat ur skin in so much lotion that you are a walking wet rag, but try to smell somewhat pleasant. - do what u want. just make sure it’s legal. have sex, travel, learn how to code, be with ur family, have a family, marry someone nice, build an empire, be fierce, be strong, but most of all: be happy. you live once on this planet. live it to the fullest. and don’t let ANYONE bring you down. not a girl, not a guy, not a parent, or a so called friend. keep your standards high, and heels higher.

“I left them to die. And they gave me a medal for it.” 1x05

“Real heroes don’t look at all like I pictured. They’re far from perfect. Bull-headed, stubborn, reckless. But also recklessly brave. They charge in without a thought to themselves. Not without fear or doubt but in spite of it. We are all scared. But we are going to fight and die anyway.”1x05

“Because the future matters.” 1x05

“I promise you, you won’t die for nothing here.” 1x05

“So that makes it okay?” 1x06

“That’s what history is, right? It’s choices. Some small, stupid. Some monumental. But we make them.” 1x07

“What we’re doing; it’s right.” “I’m sure Flynn tells his guys the same thing.” 1x12

‘That’s all I watched when I was a kid. Gary Cooper and John Wayne. They never crossed the line. Good and bad, black and white. There was a code, you know? And then I go to war, and all I can think about is, “My God. "Those flicks are a bunch of crap.” Because nobody is that good.” 1x12

“When Ernest calls them the Lost Generation, he doesn’t mean aimless. He means battered. Broke down. But getting ready to stand back up.” 1x14

“You don’t have to defend your reputation to me. You’re not like the other women, and that makes people uncomfortable. So they mock you, and they tell you you’re stupid. But you refused to change. And then that makes people mad, so they attack you, call you evil. They call you a witch. I know that none of that is true. So you talk to birds, so you like dolls, so you refuse to confess to being something that you’re not. That’s brave. And I’m proud to be in your company.” 2x04

“Marches and speeches don’t change the world.” 2x07

“You think that because you are smart enough or tough enough to make it into the boys club that everyone else should be able to make it too.” 2x07

“The grandest, most honorable battle is the losing one.” 2x07

Timeless is a story of family, friendship, redemption, renewal, hope, love, loss, forgiveness, choices, and the future.

Heroes come from where they are least expected. 

History is about choices, not fate.

Sometimes the right choice is not the easy choice or even the choice that feels right.

People can change.

You have to be open to that change.

Dwelling on the pain of the past will never allow for healing.

Fear isn’t real. 

What’s right and wrong isn’t always black and white.

Being broken and tired doesn’t mean you’re finished or lost.

Our heroes let us down. 

Our parents disappoint us.

You always have something, someone to live for.

Anything can change the world in the hands of someone who cares enough to try.

The past and all its victories and failures, what we agree with and disagree with, are crucial in building a better future.

If you reduce this show to a battle of who falls in love with you then you are doing a monumental disservice to the revolution of TV that Timeless has brought us. 

If you want to ask my questions about why I think these quotes are important just shoot me an ask, and I’ll be happy to explain. Or if you have a Timeless quote you particularly love, please add it! And tell me why it’s important to you.

Whats the story of you sleeping with a professor, like how did that happen?

So basically…I was taking this class called Fitness Theory and Practice. It was for a PE credit or something. There were three instructors and I just so happened to be assigned to his section of the class. As the semester went on, he and I would sort of crack jokes at each other. He was about 33, I think? So, he was pretty hip with the times and like, obviously in shape and shit (he teaches a fitness class). Eventually, I was like, “You said you do personal training, yeah? Can we like, make that a thing?” And he was like, “Yeah, fa show. Put your digits in my cellular.” So one night, he texted me and was like, “I’m about to go to the gym. Come with.” And I told him I couldn’t cause I had this health project I had to finish or something. So he says, “Bring your stuff, come to the gym with me, then come to my place after and we can work on your project.” At that point, I was like….this is weird, right? But I do anyway cause I’m a hoe. We get to his place and he’s like, “Where do you wanna start?” And I was just like, “I don’t even know. I have this project, then your project for your class, then a Bio test next week. You don’t just wanna give me an A on your project so I can work on my other stuff?” Y’all….he goes, “That’s fine.” El oh el. I was like, “Wait, what?” Then he goes, “Let’s finish your health project then we can study for your Bio test.” At this point, I’m like, is this dude a homo? Why is this happening? So, I decide to push it. I go, “It’s already hella late, I don’t know what we’re gonna get done.” He goes, “You can sleep here. We’ll study until we can’t and you can crash so you don’t have to drive to your place.” By now, I’m like, Oh… Def gay. So, because I’m me, I say, “Then I’d have to sleep on a couch and that just does not sound ideal…” He laughed and goes, “No you won’t.”

Then we had sex.
