I can speak 4 languages fluently and you should too. My favourite ones tho are Afrikaans, Basque, Latgalian and Xhosa. And English. If you’re a monolingual beta then I look down upon you as aesthetically, morally and intellectually superior. My matrix is bigger than yours.

partykeer wil mens net in jou moedertaal so bietjie praat, maar wat is jou moederstaal as jy twee verskillendes het? ek dink dis nogals ontsagwekkende om ‘n taal te kan praat wat uniek is tot suid afrika, uniek aan ‘n volk mense wat teen alle omstandighede gekies het om te volhard. dis my pa se taal, my ouma en oupa se taal, en almal wie voor dit gekom het.
ek vind dit moeilik om myself uit te druk, eks heeltyd tussen twee wêrelde, die engels en die afrikaans, maar is dit nie wat my tog uniek maak nie? dat ek ’n weerspreking is nie. dat ek meer as een ding kan wees, nooit wit of swart nie, maar asemrowend grys is.

I love hearing people speak other languages that i can’t understand it feels so distopic and sureal that whats coming out of their mouth makes sense to someone else. Oh and other alphabets go crazy too, like you are telling me that that bunch of lines have a meaning that i dont know? ughh so cool.

Knowing another language is awesome. It gives you a slice of omnipotence. Once you become fluent in a language, there’s no translation time in your mind- you don’t have to hear the word and go “oh this means this”. The word just is- you hear it and it instantly registers. It’s kind of like being able to be in two places at once in your head.

Dharmic religions over Abrahamic ones … sorry, Monotheists. Not to say that this is some battle between monism and dualism. As someone who strongly believes in swag, they just seem way more aesthetically compelling.

Unfortunately, I relate to works of Emil Cioran too much. Oftentimes I want to end my life, but he inspires me to live. Shoutout fr. It’s not that I’m depressed or sad or upset. I’m very optimistic. I just want to go home.

Supposedly, George Michael smoked 25 joints a day. His genius justifies mine. I remember the day when he died. It was Christmas. I cried.
