Devastating to have more evidence that done IS better than perfect
Additionally, findings indicate that the act of doing shows you that you were not seeking perfection, you were fearing inadequacy

Good news! There is!
Bad news! It is called 'done'

What the… but… how… wha…. how did this person…. I…
i just wrote -2-2x= like 75 times on a paper oh god
i filled up both sides
what just happened
this makes me uncomfortable,
then do =x+2+ for the next part
for “or blow me a kiss, and that’s lucky too” it’s =+1=+1
What is this sorcery?!?!
this is my favorite post on tumblr
the ending is: 12=x1=
So I just worked out the whole song, and here you go:
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
= + 1 = + 1
- 7 2 + 7
= x + 2 +
= 2 + 2 1
= x + 2 +
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
- 7 2 + 7
= x + 2 +
- 7 2 + 7
= x + 2 +
= 7 7 2 +
= x + 2 +
= x - 7
- 2
- 2 - 2 x =
= x + 2 +
= x + 2 1
= x + 2 +

Fun fact (because your last post just reminded me lol): Kalevala meter has the same scansion as the phrase "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." I'm not sure which is funnier, imagining someone singing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on a slow traditional Finnish melody with kantele accompaniment, or someone singing "Vaka vanha Väinämöinen" to the tune of the TMNT theme song
That’s really cool, and also caused me to look up what the Kalevala is!

There isn’t a consistent meter but the stanzas are 4-5 lines and have some repeating structures and patterns, for example there are lots of 4-syllable lines, especially iambic dimeter (◡ – ◡ –).
