I know no sweeter sight on earth than a man's own native country. [...] nothing is as sweet as a man's own country.

it's weird cus I'm connected to all these places everywhere, some places through my own experiences like spending time there, for example in france, some through my family like England (and France tbh), and some through love like new york for example but none of them I am tethered to the way I am to germany

I think this is what they mean by home country, the place you return to to be grounded and bound to somewhere again.

"-she's an adventurer at heart"

But why do they not tell us that the wanderer also misses their home almost all the time? Yes, she loves the tingle of new dawns but what about the silent searching of someplace familiar to just exist at? Why is it that they only listen to the talk of heart and not of the soul? How fast do those echoes die?

And how do we find a new home when the comfort of home is left in the past, far far behind.

So, from now on I'll write, "Yes, she is an adventurer at heart, a wanderer constantly searching for the some familiar solace "

wish I never left home... and now its not the same anymore

How privileged I am to be able to experience all the things I always dreamed as a kid. But how privileged was I to exist in that loving home, full of people, memories and happiness.

Everyone elsewhere: “Don’t stay out on the street after 12:00! Thugs and drug addicts might cut you off”

UPDATE POST!!

I'M BACK EVERYONE!!

So, I went on a kind of unannounced hiatus... Because I have been in Europe and my home country! Lots of crazy stuff happened there, especially with me and my mom's health. But we don't have time to get into all that yet.

We went to Italy for a bit! We saw Venice, Murano and Burano. That was cool!

Then, the best thing... We went to London and saw Hadestown on West End!!! I stage doored, and got my playbill signed and pics with the cast, including my absolute favorite actor on West End, Donál Finn!

I have been drawing a lot lately, but it has been for myself instead of social media. I have been focusing on improving my skills and stuff, without the fear of being judged. I'm gonna go back to sharing art soon, though!

So, yeah. That's where I have been! I'll be more active when we settle back into America and I start school. I'm starting High School, so wish me luckkk 😭. I was only gone because I had absolutely no time to post. But I'm glad to be back!

well i mean not the bit about us being radiation resistant i wasn't able to confirm this during my extremely lazy search but i guess it *would* make sense???

Suggestion for Doctors and Humor From Slim Randles

Not a rant, I promise, just a suggestion. Then a fun story from #humor writer, Slim Randles. Enjoy.

Happy Monday! A good way to start the week is with a smile. I’m glad the barn cat I had, never heard of Pottery Barn. 🙂 Total patient health care. When I worked in the hospital many moons ago, one of my duties was to attend the daily discharge rounds on the floors that I covered as a chaplain. These daily gatherings were attended by nurses from the floor, as well as respiratory therapists,…

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

Lua Avwena

In the world of Lua Avwena, Witches & Gods are considered to be 2 opposing beings. Making Marime & her siblings no less than abominations- the worst of all kinds of halfbreeds, despised by all who knew of their heritage. Yet you couldn't tell, when looking at them, could you?

Were they jealous, of their unusually long lifespan and enhanced abilities?

Did their religious beliefs lead them to believe that pureblooded beings were inherently superior, despite modern sciences indicating that genetically mixed peoples had a more diverse and therefore more interesting gene pool?

Oh, the potions are boiling over, so let's put a pin in this and continue later.
