Dear music, thank you for being there when no one else was.

No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it’s all preparation for better things. You must stretch, reach, grow into your goodness. Without the preparation we receive through adversity, disappointment, confusion, or pain, we could not appreciate the goodness when it arrives.

How to Practice Mindfulness & Reduce Anxeity

1. Stay in the present moment.

There is no rule that says you have to be doing a million things at once. No where in the nonexistent life handbook is there a statement that tells you to worry about everything that has yet to happen.

2. Don’t analyze the situation.

Once you begin to analyze the situation, you’re creating an imaginary outcome.

3. Accept that there is only so much that can be done.

You can’t control everything, and you can’t go back in time and change anything. These are not bad things.

4. Trust in something bigger than yourself.

Trusting in something bigger than you let’s you focus on your tasks. You don’t have to worry about the how. You don’t have to get overwhelmed with the details.

5. Find the beauty in every moment, even the horrible ones.

Look for the lesson. There is beauty in horrible situations if you look at it objectively and you always have the option of removing yourself from my situation or person that drains your energy and brings you down - it’s liberating!

Oi, oi Clone Club! Are we still in mourning over our favorite show ending? Have we come to terms with the fact that it’s over yet? No? Me either.

If you’re still sad about the show ending, maybe this’ll cheer you up… an O R P H A N B L A C K G I V E A W A Y!

I wanted to do this because I recently found out that I had an extra Helena funko and wanted to give back to my sestras and brother-sestras. However, I felt like a funko pop giveaway wasn’t enough so I also included some other things for this giveaway as well.

What You Get If You Win

• A Sestrahood T-shirt from the Represent campaign (size XL) • A bloody!Helena funko doll • A #CloneClub tattoo      • The official Orphan Black coloring book • Two envelopes from Kendall’s mail used in episode 3x09 of the show      (the envelopes are empty - you can do what I did and frame them)

Rules to Enter

• Reblog this post. It doesn’t matter how many times. Just don’t spam your followers please. Likes don’t count as an entry. • No giveaway blogs or throw away blogs allowed to enter. • You do not need to be following me, but be aware that I am also running this contest via twitter. If you reblog/retweet on both platforms, you have a greater chance of winning. (if you’re here from twitter and you win you’d need to follow me over here so that I can DM you once the time for entry has concluded) • I WILL ship internationally • You must be at least 18 years old. If you’re not, I’d need written permission from your parent/guardian saying it’s okay to send you this package. (I’d write their name on the envelope so that they can hand it to you upon arrival) Overall, you must be comfortable with giving me your address. After I send the package, I’ll be deleting your address immediately.

This giveaway will end January 1st, 2018 at 12 AM EST. I’ll choose the winner using a random number generator and inform them the same day. If I get no response within 48 hours, another random winner will be selected. Good luck sestras and brother-sestras!

It’s Okay

No matter how long you’ve been disabled. 

Now matter how independent or successful you are.

It doesn’t matter if you have all the spoons in the world.

Some days it’s too hard.

Some days you don’t think it’s worth it.

And that’s okay. 

—–

It’s okay to have bad days. It’s okay to be frustrated. It’s okay to lose hope or feel depressed. When our favorite places are not longer accessible; when our limbs refused to do what we want; when the simplest things become impossible. These moments happen to all of us. 

It doesn’t mean your accomplishments, independence, and outlook are somehow invalidated. It doesn’t make you less of a person and it certainly doesn’t make you “a bitter cripple”. You can have a perfectly balanced outlook on your life and still have days that just need to go fuck themselves and leave you out of it. 

And that’s okay.

Лестница к мечте

Любая задача — лестница. Те люди, которые говорят «всё сложно, такова жизнь, реальность» и тысячи других аргументов, как правило, хотят перепрыгнуть сразу все ступени. Но у них, само собой, не получается. Ещё бы — есть законы физики. С каждым разом им становится всё сложнее «не допрыгивать» и они начинают убеждать других в том, что это «реально сложно, и займись вообще чем-то “нормальным“».

Да, бывает и такое, что они ставят трамплин и запрыгивают на самый верх. Окей. Получилось. Но столкнувшись со следующей задачей, у них совсем не будет в наличии никакого опыта прохождения задач и, так же, вряд ли будут новые ресурсы, чтобы в экстренной ситуации снова построить трамплин. Понимаете?

Если же начинать идти постепенно, по каждой из ступеней, вовремя останавливаясь на отдых для набора сил, можно пройти лестницу любой длинны намного быстрее, нежели тот, кто будет пытаться её перепрыгивать. Трудности, несомненно, будут, но уже не глобальные, а локальные. И эти маленькие трудности и есть двигающая сила, кидающая тебе вызов: «а сможешь ещё?»

Любой механизм построен не на тяжёлом физическом взаимодействии нескольких деталей, а на плавном взаимодействии множества шестерёнок распределяющих усилия равномерно.

То чего я не проходил, то чего вне моего понимания — я не имею права об этом рассказывать и, особенно, утверждать это. Поэтому я делюсь только своим опытом.

И это маленькое эссе о лестнице — один из тех подходов, который помогает мне двигаться и совершать то, что когда-то казалось мечтами.

The struggle between me wanting to be successful and me wanting to lay in bed 24/7

I wish I could say I was surprised that they hired a 48 year old white man to write Delphine’s book, but I’m not. I am surprised at how terrible it is. Its obvious this dude never watched the show. He made up his own version of Delphine. I was shown a page and had to tap out after a few paragraphs. Good job OB. Make money off the Delphine fans while serving up shit. You could have at least paid a woman writer (less money) to write this. 

Sooo sooo glad we have actual gifted writers in our fandom who care about the characters we love.

I really have to say ‘thanks’ to Evelyne for helping us make it [Cophine] work. You know, when we were wrapping that relationship out and you know, when we were saying 'goodbye’ to Evelyne in the final season, she and I were…we were harken back to those conversations of 'should this really continue?’, like, 'can we do it with all the practicalities?, and that sort of promise we made to each other, that, 'yep, we’re gonna work’.

Graeme Manson talking about Evelyne’s importance in keeping Cophine alive.

He mentioned earlier in the livestream that Evelyne’s co-operation with them was significant considering she herself had such an intense schedule. They worked collaboratively to fit Delphine in, to work around Evelyne’s schedule and to give her as much or as little story as she knew she could take on. Can we acknowledge here then, that Evelyne Brochu kept giving herself to this character, to this relationship and to us because she felt to deeply connected to it. That she could have very easily said ‘goodbye’ to the project, as if it were any other project she had taken on, but that she stayed with it until the end. Can we acknowledge all the effort, all the dedication and all the commitment that was given to this character and this relationship because I am so damn thankful right now.
