#Life priorities

[ezioequilibrio]

I like that we saw Lucifer's dick before his in-game sprite.

[leaawrites]

Oh, if all is grace and nothing is sorrow

How will I ever be happy

When there is nothing I can shed my tears for,

Nothing that could make my heart ache,

Nothing that keeps my eyes full of life?

[ninapi]

Friend: I always crave ice cream when I’m sad, I gotta stop. How about you?

Me: Miya Osamu.

Friend: I meant food…how about when you’re not sad. Any regular cravings?

Me: Miya Atsumu.

Friend: For fuck sakes, Nina. In real life, focus!

Me: ugh…Miyano Mamoru(?)

Friend: *leaves*

Life is hard when people doesn’t get you-

[batri-jopa]

Absolutely! Talking with my teenage self would be a challenging argument over some "sacred truth" but I think that my child-self could be quite easily convinced of what happiness is...

38: Listen! Can you imagine we have our own treadmill now? And a ping-pong table?! And we play frequently too!

6: [eyes get wider]

38: And we have a secretary desk! Just like in those fairytale books! And a big dark wooden chest with massive metal hinges! And wooden beams on the walls! In one room there are even two of them at once! And our house has forest and fields all around it so we can see roe-deers, pheasants, ravens, hares and foxes on daily basis!

6: Oh, wow!!!

38: And there's a garden with raspberries! So many raspberries now we can eat with full hands till we're fed up! And listen to this: we finally have a cat of our own!

6: [looks utterly delighted already] And... And our husband? And we have kids?

38: [sighing and waving hand dismissively] Oh, we don't have husband nor kids... But we have friends! We have friends to visit, friends to go to the cinema with, to play boardgames together, travel together and friends to have fascinating neverending conversations with!

6: So why we have no husband... And no kids? Why, what's wrong with us? [delight slowly turns into fear of social rejection]

38: [clenches teeth, ready for a final battle] Look, now. That's turned up not as important as we once thought it was. The important things is: we're not lonely! We're happy and proud... and brave! We were holding a tarantula in our bare hand just two months ago! And an eagle last month! And we're swearing when it's needed!

6: [is confused and I belatedly realize that doesn't sound attractive for 6 yo me]

38: Okey, more cool things? We travel by plane and to amazing places too! Town with buildings all covered with tiny colourful tiles and there are orange trees growing right under them! Other town full of your favorite timber-framed houses and they are half thousand years old! And the country where each and every house has a balcony and vine on its walls and there are mountains on the horizont no matter where you go!

6: That sounds great!

38: Every few month we go to a theatre or cinema or a ballet! We watch movies and we love to cry on them [6 yo me looks like I'm insane] Yes, the films we cry at are our most favorite ones! And also we draw so good now, we can draw whatever we can imagine: cats, dragon, even birds! People ask us to draw pictures for their kids! We already had an art exhibition and we're definitely going to have another! And you know what our cat is like?

6: [eyes full of hope]

38: Our cat... is tricolored!

6: [makes inarticulate sounds of delight]

Do you ever think about going back in time to your childhood and telling yourself what your future will be like

6 year old me: So what’s it like being a grown-up

34 year old me: Well, we have a job working in the woods

6: cool, cool

34: And we have three parrots

6: COOL

34: And we’re a boy sometimes; in the future you don’t have to be a boy or a girl

6: SUPER COOL

34: And we got married

6: oh

34: To a math teacher

6: WHAT NO

34: And we like peanut butter now

6: you’re dead to me

Be Strong and Work for the Kingdom of God: Sunday Devotion

Haggai 2: 4-9 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.  ‘This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.’ “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little…

Em Busca da Simplicidade

Uma Jornada de Reflexão e Mudança

Cara, já cheguei no fundo do poço três vezes, sendo que a primeira vez não foi escolha minha. Não me permito mais chegar lá. Não quero mais pensar que vou continuar fazendo merda e que depois que tudo der errado, vou me recuperar. Não quero mais isso. Quero evitar. Claro, a vida não é perfeita, e não dá para evitar que tudo dê errado, mas não quero mais atingir o fundo do poço.

Tentei retomar a vida que eu tinha de 2017 a 2019, quando era maravilhoso: acordar, estudar, passar a tarde estudando e à noite assistindo séries. Não consigo mais voltar ao que era antes. Em 2020, decidi que não queria mais aquela vida. Não sei o que me passou pela cabeça, mas surtei durante a pandemia. Acho que vou buscar uma vida mais tranquila, longe das redes sociais. Não sei como farei isso, mas não quero mais usá-las. Não quero mais sentir assim por causa delas. Cansei. Cheguei ao meu limite com muitas coisas.

Não julgo quem usa redes sociais, afinal, cada um tem suas próprias experiências. Tentei inúmeras vezes desde 2011, quando entrei na internet. Comecei a me sentir mal em 2014, 2015 e 2016. Fui parando aos poucos, e em 2017, finalmente parei de vez. Infelizmente, redes sociais não deram certo para mim. Tentei muito, mas não consigo mais. Elas não me fazem bem, e não há razão para eu insistir. Eu sei que estou viciado na internet, mas preciso encontrar uma maneira de sair dela. Isso não está me fazendo bem.

Eu quero realizar grandes conquistas na vida, como ter experiências incríveis e significativas, mas sem a necessidade de compartilhá-las constantemente nas redes sociais. Quero sair para viajar, assim como a personagem Margo da Cidade de Papel. Ela representa aquilo que almejo ser. Não desejo ser facilmente encontrável. Prefiro estar em uma cidade pequena, com poucos habitantes, onde possa viver de forma simples, sem depender das redes sociais, e sempre que possível, continuar explorando novos lugares.

Eu não quero ser lembrada, também não quero ser alguém importante. Não desejo impactar nenhuma vida. Só quero fazer o meu trabalho. Gostaria de ter a oportunidade de vivenciar um romance, mas isso não é prioridade. Na verdade, nunca foi uma prioridade em minha vida. Quero passar meu tempo assistindo aos filmes que gosto, enquanto como pipoca e saboreio uma coca-cola bem geladinha com limão.

NINO MY SON COME BACK FROM THE WAR

Stay informed, but resist the urge to doomscroll, or to stay glued to the news all day/night long. Get your news from actual news sources, not social media. (This is an important strategy to prevent misinformation and disinformation.) It's okay to take a step back from the news, turn off the push notifications, etc. It doesn't mean you don't care, or that you're callous/selfish/a bad person/etc. Your brain was simply not meant to handle everything, everywhere, all at once. (And that's true no matter how privileged you are or aren't.) It's okay to use Tumblr for fun, or for other non-activism-related things. (Same with any other social media site you use.) It's okay to not devote every waking minute to activism. In fact, it's good to take a break every now and then, for the sake of your mental and emotional well-being. And with that...

Please, please, please take care of yourself. Make sure you're eating and drinking water, getting rest and sleep, showering, taking your meds, checking in with your support system, etc. etc. etc. The causes you're fighting for need the best of you, not the rest of you...and more importantly, you need the best of you. You are your most important ally. Rest and self-care are not rewards for success, and they are not selfish, or frivolous indulgences. They are absolute necessities, and they are part of the work. Think of them as an act of defiance against the people, the forces, and the systems that want you to disappear, or to burn out and give up.

The beauty of See Your Love is that the writers did not give a shit about portraying the mafia accurately and gave 200% of their shits to portraying a deaf main character accurately

[annabelle--cane]

in isolation I think it's fine as a writing move for sasha and melanie to misattribute people weird to them at their Spooky Jobs as being because of misogyny, that is a reasonable conclusion for those characters to make when they are unaware of the Spooky Reasons that people don't want them involved, but alas it leads to this weird thing I see sometimes where fans get boiling mad at these characters and start saying "this stupid bitch thinks she's experiencing discrimination in the workplace when akshually she's being iced out for completely logical reasons due to her lack of skills, something she might realize if she weren't so self-centered with such a massive victim complex." like guys. you don't actually need to say this.

Valorizando o Tempo e o Espaço Pessoal

A Importância de Estabelecer Limites na Comunicação

Sabe, é incrível como algumas pessoas simplesmente não conseguem respeitar o espaço e o tempo alheio. É como se a noção de que existem vidas além das telas simplesmente escapasse delas. É revoltante lidar com essa ânsia constante por respostas imediatas, como se o mundo girasse em torno das mensagens delas. Eu tenho meus compromissos, minhas responsabilidades, meu trabalho e meus estudos para cuidar. Não sou escrava do meu telefone, não tenho o luxo de ficar disponível 24 horas por dia, esperando ansiosamente por uma mensagem como se fosse a única coisa na minha vida. É por isso que defino prazos, é por isso que coloco uma duração razoável para responder. Afinal, existe uma coisa chamada vida real acontecendo aqui. Então, se você não consegue entender que eu tenho outras coisas para fazer além de ficar te atendendo no exato segundo em que você manda uma mensagem, o problema não é meu. Respeite o meu tempo assim como eu respeito o seu. Portanto, se coloquei um prazo de 7 dias, é porque eu vou te responder em até 7 dias, e não antes. E sinceramente, essa pressa desenfreada por respostas imediatas é simplesmente irritante e cansativa. Portanto, por favor, respire, tenha paciência e saiba esperar. A vida é muito mais do que mensagens de texto instantâneas.
