Where My Gears Gets Turning

Daily writing promptYou get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?View all responses The basement is the space I’ve claimed—a room without pretense or clutter, where all forms of books live—physical copies, audio books, and an e-book library holding thousands of books I won’t likely go through in this lifetime. So no shortcuts to putting the pen to the paper. It’s…

دست از طلب ندارم تا کام من برآید یا تن رسد به جانان یا جان ز تن درآید

I will not cease my pursuit until my wish is fulfilled, Either my body reaches my beloved, or my soul leaves the body.

So, if you find yourself having to chase a man, stop…that’s the wrong man!

It's better to be unhappy and know, than to be happy and live as a fool.

How Alpha Males Dominate Every Situation

"If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.”

Lao Tzu "Tao Te Ching”

Black Swan

Within the vast waters I look upon,

I soon become engulfed with what I dwelled upon.

A mere glum reflection of I, a black swan,

Doleful as a creature like I could be; shamed upon.

As rivers of my eyes shaken the one I look down on;

The wretched reflection shatters like I, a black swan.

Black Swans, Dorrit Black, 1937 Poem By, yasantiekspresi

"We must forgive those we feel have wronged us, not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because we love ourselves so much we don't want to keep paying for the injustice."

Still stewing over how Riza watched Ed and Al swap sacrifices and probably learned some alchemy basics from her dad (and seems to have aptitude, given she's the one non-Xingese, non-chimera character to sense the homunculi), is willing to mutilate herself, and got pulled out of training to fight because she was just that good of a shot, so in the end she should've gone hey colonel I'm trading my dominant eye for one of yours. This works out for me too since I have to stay in the military for our Big Plan and would rather not be their star sniper anymore. Don't be dramatic about it.

Roy would not like that but what is he going to do, lie in his hospital bed and bitch about it? Ed couldn't refuse Al's sacrifice either. Second instance of someone forcing human transmutation on him but this time it's for his own good. Codependent bestie friendship bracelets partial blindness representing how uncomfortably far the other person will go even when you don't want them to. The Truth doesn't think they're quite grasping the lesson it wants them to learn but eh. Close enough. Leave the Ishvalans out of it.

The quality of the man you choose will only be as good as the standards by which you use to choose him.

I don’t think I’ll ever truly be over the fact that the mirrors throughout Headspace are adorned with a white egret orchid’s petals.

It’s the warmer side of “My thoughts will follow you into your dreams,” and not simply a reminder of Sunny’s guilt and Basil’s sense of loss. Because when that sentiment sits atop the mirror that continuously displays the message “your friends smile warmly behind you,” it’s gentler. More like...

“My thoughts will follow you into your dreams, and I’ll always be the friend who smiles warmly behind you.”

God knows what lives in me instead of me.
