Light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul

Who is your future spouse?

☆How to chose the perfect pile?

1) Clear your mind.

2) Take a deep breathe.

3) Ask the question in your head.

4) Open your eyes and the picture that you are drawn to the most is your pile.

☆ Before you get into the reading you have to know the following:

- Please, please and I will say it again please do not think of anyone while you are choosing. Not your Ex or current boyfriend or even your crush. And I will say it again DO NOT THINK of any man as your future spouse if you want to have an accurate reading.

- This is a general reading so take what resonates and leave the rest. The future is not set in stone and the energy can change. This reading does not substitute any medical or professional help.

- I might do part 2 for this reading.

Stay safe ❤

Arya

Pile 1 - Bram stoker's Dracula

☆Where are you coming from? Your current love life:

I see that this pile have been lonely for quite some time and they are wondering if they will truly find someone. I see that you guys are overthinking everything about your love life and you are leaving no space for divine intervention. This pile’s energy is quite sad and tormented? You perhaps tell yourself that you don't need anyone but you truly want to build something stable and long lasting. I see that you feel stuck on I'm independent I don't need anyone mindset. Not because you really like being independent but because you are afraid of getting disappointed. The problem with this pile is the fear is literally paralyzing you and sabotaging any potential connection that can fit into your life. I'm also seeing that you might be someone who have been rejected and the pain of rejection is still vivid in your core memory. I see that you truly want love and to be loved! You might have a crush on someone with virgo or taurus placements. Or you might feel drawn to those type of men who embodies this archetype. I feel like you are kind of traditional towards dating. You might have had strict family or you really have a strong opinion regarding dating or hookup culture. This is your pile if you have strong virgo placements, water placements or the description fit you perfectly.

Who is your future spouse?

Pile one you might be manifesting your twin flame to be in a marriage with them? This person might enter your life so soon and above all you might get to know him online? I see that he might like your photos if you post yourself or he might just DM you through social media? This person is so grounded and stubborn. He is so earthy and stable in a generous way. He is the perfect mix between fire and earth. He is so childish or he aim to see infinite possibilities. I see that he is doing shadow work or he has been to therapy before. I see that this person is either a heartbreaker or been heartbroken many times. He is so naive or he seems naive? He might prefer texting over phone or video calls. There's an emphasis on his hair. He have curly and dark hair. His eyes are sleepy or he have sleepy eyes. There's something about his face, you see those people who have sleepy faces? Like they just woke up? I guess he might have that. He might look innocent and angelic. Like his aura is so comforting and serene. I also see that this person look younger than his age with hazel eyes. His style looks chill, like you see those guys who wear comfy hoodies? He might be one of them. I asked when will you meet him and the cards told me that you may meet him 6 months from now. You might be on a journey of self discovery when he enters your life. You might be losing weight and if you are not trying to lose weight; you might be trying to get in shape. I see that you are going to meet him after doing a lot of shadow work and inner reflection.

Pile 2 - The Addams couple

☆ Where are you coming from? Your current love life:

This pile is my daring and flirty pile. You might like your solitude but you flirt for fun. I see that most interactions that happen between you and the opposite sex are online. You might like to post spicy photos of yourself. Or send nudes to total strangers in public. You might like to take initiative in relationships. Even if you are a woman/female; you simply don't care about the traditional roles. Especially on who get to initiate to whom. If you like someone you are going to get them, I see that this is your moto. Also this might be your pile if you are stuck on a decision regarding travel. You might want to travel but you are juggling too many responsibilities and this is holding you back from actually pursuing that goal. If you are a man (since the dominant energy on this pile are men or masculines) you might be posting photos or nudes of yourself online. I see many risky photos and poses and if you are not a man or masculine then you might be doing the same action. You really value your own space; I see that you are protecting your peace at all costs. I mean yes you might like to flirt for fun with others but nothing really is serious and you are not looking for something serious either. This is your pile if you have significant leo or Aries placements.

Who is your future spouse?

Your future spouse is someone that you are going to meet through group project. At first as I said about your current energy, you are not looking for something serious so when you meet that person you'll find it kind of confusing. I see that you might be blinded at first. Like you might not notice them and if you are working with them you might not be attracted to them. They are not your usual type, they might be smart and quick thinker. This person knows how to take care of themselves. He might also know how to take care of women in general. Men might call him simp but he is no simp he is just so kind and empathetic towards women's needs. He is so determined, I see that once he put his mind on a goal he doesn't stop when he is tired, He only stop when he finish. I see that he LOVES to conquer a good challenge. He likes to to be assertive and he is looking for someone assertive too. He want his equal, his queen. He might look like he suit you? Wait let me rephrase it. You see that two people who are not dating but everyone in workplace ship them? You two might have intense chemistry. This person look like a heartbreaker. Eye color range from brown to gray or just those two colors. His hair is so silky or wavy. He have this confused look when he talk to you? He might even drag his feet while he walk, or he might look tired when he walk.

Pile 3 - Nosferatu

Where are you coming from? Your current love life.

Well, looking at the cards this pile is in their sweet feminine energy who wants princess treatment and to be spoiled. If this is not the case then this piles are for mothers or you are a mother or pregnant. If you are not pregnant and you are the girl who is in her feminine energy then I see that there's someone who wants to pursue you and he is so damn confident about it. I see that you guys are so confident in yourselves. Perhaps, you are someone who is working on their self esteem and self worth. I see that whatever the case you are in. It is going to pay off. For my girlies who are being pursued by someone I see that this person is very serious about you. He want to marry you quiet literally. This person sees you as his wife or future wife. I also see that this connection is meant to be and is distant to happen even if you are not aware of it. This person is quite civilized and diplomatic. He want to make you happy and cherish you, but if you don't want him it is your choice at the end of the day. I see a lot of happiness in this pile. Guys happiness is your middle name, since the energy or the cards I'm pulling are all yellow and yellow means happiness in tarot. Another energy I'm picking up on is that this pile doesn't really want to be strong and independent. Unlike pile one who is pushing themselves to be that way, this pile is accepting the fact that you want to be a stay at home mother or a rich wife of a rich dude. Most people in this pile are Venus dominant, have taurus or libra placement or have venusian energy in general. You guys might be the pretty girl in your friend group and everyone enjoys looking at you.

Who is your future spouse?

So right off the bat what I'm seeing is someone who have a lot of options. You know that one man who is wanted by every woman because of how friendly and charismatic he is? This man has this energy. It looks like this person is someone who has been heartbroken before and now he keeps his options open by befriending many girls and keeping his options open. He have the cup of love and he is so eager to give it to someone, I'm also picking up on someone passionate and eager to explore life. This person is sooo romantic in a cheesy way. I see that many times he attempted to get in a relationship but got afraid and back off from pursuing something serious. This person believes in manifestations or he tried manifesting an SO or future wife or this person really believes that he can create the reality he wants. This person gives off the vibe of a knight in a shining armor or a Disney prince tbh. This person look like a literal baby or he have baby features. He might have round or oval face. This man can be a little overweight or fat with blonde hair and blue eyes. He is so cute I'm seeing a picture of someone who look adorable and sweet. This person gives off the vibe of "I look good as a husband". But in general this person look so childish and baby like. Could look younger than his actual age? Or this person might be younger than you, but not so much like a couple months younger. He is so friendly or he have a lot of female friendships. This man gives off the ENFJ vibes Idk if you know mbti but you can Google it if you want to. He is so emotionally mature and caring. His energy is so nurturing. I asked the cards about when will you are going to meet him and they said he will enter soon into your life and one of the signs is a female around you is going to give birth or you are going to meet a pregnant woman or one of your relatives/friends will get pregnant. There's a NOTE for this pile specifically; if you are being pursued by someone this person is your future spouse. And if you are not being pursued by anyone then you might know who your future spouse is. And if you don't have anyone then take the reading with a grain of salt but you can enjoy it anyways.

Pile 4 - Hollywood couple

Where are you coming from? Your current love life:

This pile is truly stuck. I feel like I'm bored and desperate I want to cry. Like guys what is the matter? There's both boredom and stagnation. You might be someone who is really bored with how things are in your love life. I'm picturing a girl about 16 to 18 years old who want to be open to love but there's a man in her life (could be a male caregiver) who is very strict and structured. This man literally destroyed your well to date anyone. I feel like you are discouraged by the idea of love and I feel that you are unbalanced in a way? Like you are trying to protect yourself from getting hurt but at the same time you want love so freaking bad. I'm clinching my jaw and I feel like I want to scream and yell and kick things around me. Pile four why are you so angry? Please calm down! There's nothing in this life that deserve all this anger. Please take a break and go balance yourself and life. You are still young and have no experience and life is still long in front of you. I see that you might be waiting for something to happen; for someone to come in and rescue you from your life but nothing really happens so you pour all of your anger and resentment on yourself. Please stop hurting yourself and go find a hobby or something that can help you channel this anger and resentment. I'm picking up on someone who is bottling up their feelings and not really trying to express them. I also feel headache, do you have headache pile four? Are you bloated too? You might have significant leo and Aries placements. A little Taurus placements and sun, mars and sagittarius dominate. I feel like you are waiting and waiting but the waiting itself got bored of you lol. And you end up feeling devastated and angry. This pile’s energy is so rageful, please do some meditation or workout to get rid of that anger. You might also be scared of change? And overwhelmed by the idea of change? You might be someone who doesn't really like things to change and stick to a specific routine. Anyways let's get into the reading.

Who is your future spouse?

This person is very hardworking and workaholic. I see that the main focus in his life is his career, money and stability. This man is a little bit selfish, and he became like that because of how much he suffered. This person suffered from poverty, or he was very poor. He might even get kicked out of his family house so he can work and get them money. This person got bullied a lot by his peers and saw a lot of cruelty in his life, I feel so sorry for him. This person might be closed off emotionally, it is like he is trying to shelter himself from any possible heartache because of what happened in his childhood. I also see that when you meet him he might not be ready for anything serious or he might not really have healed fully from what has happened to him. There's an age gap here, he might he older than you or more mature. Like 4 years older. He might also be a co-worker of you? Or acquaintance If it is not then he might work with you in your field. The main challenge he is facing is stability, he want stability to be able to marry you. My advice for this pile is don't try to force things out if this person is not ready for commitment. He hasn't healed yet and his main focus is on the material. He might even use you if you attempted to help him financially so please don't. What really amazed me in this pile that this man is so materialistic, his love language can be gift giving. Now his appearance; this person look so cocky and confident. He have hazel eye color and sharp features. This person's back look hot or beautiful. He is not that tall, he is medium height. His hair is dirty blonde or chestnut brown. A foreigner? He might not be from your country. This man is possessive to be honest. If you met him after he get his ish together he will spoil you rotten but if not then don't try to help and heal him. You might meet him at the end of November to the most of December.

TLG: Final 10 Episodes Sketch Dump

September 2nd once again fell on a Labor Day, like it once did when the final 10 episodes of TLG dropped on WatchTLG (due to its early release on the old DisneyNOW app). The alignment of the exact day, month, and holiday five years later put me in the spirit to sketch away as I rewatched these episodes.

I was there when the countdown on the WatchTLG site had about an hour left. I hadn't seen a full episode of TLG until that point because I at the time thought I wouldn't be into it. I saw the synopses for these episodes leaked somewhere online and was doubtful yet VERY hopeful that the one with Vitani's Lion Guard was going to be a real episode simply because I wanted to see her in new content, regardless of my familiarity with the show.

When I binge-watched these final episodes with a friend, my relationship with the show improved as I went to watch the rest of the show over the next few months. I was so grateful to see so much content and worldbuilding for the TLK universe

Sketch descriptions under the cut:

1. Friends to the End

I've said this before in a review of this episode, but whether or not the writers intended this, their portrayal of irritability brought on by an anxiety attack is astounding. Kion's anxiety is piled up more and more when he's in a hurry to find a cure at the Tree of Life, Bunga repeatedly tells him he's becoming like Scar, and the rest of the group just "blind leading the blind"-in their journey SO badly because they're a bunch of unsupervised freshman-aged kids who are in their "Well I wouldn't go THAT far" or "Can I be the devil's advocate" phase.

This situation of fearing becoming like a shitty family member and being told you are by people when you're already in a vulnerable state is just SO vile and unfortunately so real. I found myself relating hard to this episode due to Kion's valid af anger in this episode, which is why I had to draw Kion claiming his "Don't you just wanna go apeshit??" era.

Kion is basically me throughout this episode and the entire first half of Season 3. It is SO HARD to get through this season sometimes when these same couple of lines keep coming at least once per episode. As soon as I hear Fuli saying "Uhh... Kion?" or "KION!!" I know exactly what's coming.

2. The Tree of Life:

Since we never get to see Sahasi and Ananda's color palettes they had in life, I took what I could make out from their spirit forms as well as some creative liberties, and came up with what they may have looked like on Earth.

Ananda is where Baliyo gets his freckles and dull, dark pelt, and where Rani gets her purple pupils, red nose, and dark tail. Sahasi is where Rani gets her richer pelt and where Baliyo gets his nose gradient, multicolored mane, and lighter tail color.

Fun Fact: According to some email responses from a member of the team who worked on TLG, they said that Sahasi was meant to be Janna's son, which for me, puts an end to a debate I had in my head where I was stuck between either him or Ananda being Janna's child: On one hand, I liked the idea of Sahasi and Surak being the foils of Mufasa and Scar, but also liked the idea of Ananda as Janna's daughter and heir since they looked so alike, as well as it solidifying the martriarchy headcanon I have for the Night Pride. Though the team member didn't straight-up provide Sahasi's relation to Janna and Surak as an absolute fact, rather it was simply the gist they got from the creation of Sahasi's character, it's an answer from a team member at all, which I can absolutely settle with. I decided to give him a similar fur color to Surak because of that.

3. The River of Patience:

I just HAD to doodle eepy Kion. It's like the one part of this episode that sticks with me outside the wholesome therapy dynamics and Kion heroically holding the flower between his teeth. This is basically him but if he fully succumbed to falling asleep waiting for the log.

4. Little Old Ginterbong:

Can I just say that I fucking LOVE Mama Binturong's character?? She's absolutely insane and constantly looks like an addict that needs her fix. She makes me nostalgic for some reason, and I think it's gotta do with her Mama Gunda vibes (which is odd because I wasn't even that young when I saw Tarzan II). I had to draw her doing the thing lol

5. Poa the Destroyer:

All I could think about throughout this episode besides the rare Evil Beshte is how insufferable Pinguino is. I mean it in kind of a good way, his personality is so ridiculous that he's made me laugh a few times.

6. Long Live the Queen:

Surprisingly, the sketch regarding this episode is probably the least expected subject matter out of anything I could've put here: An idea that's been forming in my head for a bit now was the idea of Bunga and Binga continuing the fostering/babysitting business of Bunga's "uncles". Bunga is shown to be a natural with young animals in a few episodes, and it continues in the subplot of this episode where he watches over Varya's cubs.

7. The Lake of Reflection:

The one thing that viscerally stuck with me in this episode was the unbelievably cute design they gave bby Cheezi. Had to sketch him.

8. Triumph of the Roar:

Obligatory Askari sketch because I actually love drawing him and making headcanons of his era. Looking back... he kinda looks like he's looking down at the events of the bottom drawing in slight disappointment.

9. Journey to the Pride Lands:

Drew Azaad (for what I think might be the first time) with the only thing he seemed to be doing throughout this episode -- taking any opportunity he can to comment about how much better cheetahs are at basically everything. He's fun to draw and I'd like to do more art of him one day.

10. Return to the Pride Lands

This is a sketch of what I deadass thought was gonna happen during this scene the first time I saw this episode lmao. At the time, the previous two episodes were fresh on my mind so I thought Kion was once again going to spam his tornado ability, but with Vitani as his subject for his demonstration. She already knew so little of the Roar as it was, given her absence throughout most of TLG's storyline, but could you imagine what she must've been thinking seeing how much Kion's Roar evolved?

Why Choose Online Couples Counselling in BC?

Couples often face relationship challenges, from disagreements to loss of connection. Seeking professional help through online couples counselling in BC provides several advantages that make it an attractive option. Here's why you should consider this service:

1. Convenience and Accessibility

One of the biggest advantages of online couples counselling in BC is the convenience it offers. Couples no longer need to worry about travel time or scheduling conflicts. You can attend sessions from the comfort of your home or any private location, making it easier to fit therapy into your busy lifestyle.

Whether you're living in the heart of Vancouver or more remote areas of BC, online couples counselling in BC ensures that you can access professional support no matter where you are. Additionally, family therapy in Vancouver is also accessible to people living in nearby areas, offering a flexible option for resolving family-related concerns.

2. A Safe Space for Open Communication

Online counselling allows couples to feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics. The anonymity and physical distance provided by virtual sessions can help reduce the anxiety some people feel when discussing deeply personal issues in person. As a result, individuals may feel more open and honest, making therapy more effective.

3. Flexibility in Scheduling

Life can be unpredictable, and finding the time for in-person counselling can be a challenge. With online couples counselling in BC, you can schedule sessions at times that work for both you and your partner. Whether you're dealing with a busy work schedule, children at home, or other responsibilities, online couples counselling in BC provides the flexibility to attend therapy without disrupting your daily routine.

Common Relationship Issues Addressed by Online Couples Counselling in BC

Couples experience a wide range of challenges, and online couples counselling in BC can help navigate these difficulties. Some of the most common relationship issues that people address through online counselling include:

1. Communication Problems

Effective communication is the foundation of any strong relationship. However, many couples struggle with expressing their feelings, needs, and concerns in healthy ways. Online couples counselling in BC helps couples improve their communication skills, teaching them how to listen actively, express themselves without blame, and understand each other better.

2. Conflict Resolution

Disagreements are inevitable in any relationship, but it's how couples manage them that determines the health of their relationship. Online couples counselling in BC teaches couples conflict resolution strategies, helping them to address disagreements in a respectful and constructive manner. This can prevent arguments from escalating and allow couples to work through their differences more effectively.

3. Intimacy and Emotional Connection

Over time, some couples may find that their emotional and physical connection begins to fade. Whether it's a lack of intimacy, emotional distance, or other factors, online couples counselling in BC can help couples rebuild their bond. Therapists can guide couples through exercises and discussions that reignite emotional closeness and intimacy.

4. Trust and Infidelity Issues

Trust is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and when it's broken, it can be difficult to rebuild. Whether it’s dealing with infidelity or past betrayals, online couples counselling in BC can help couples work through trust issues. Therapists can help couples process their emotions, establish new boundaries, and rebuild trust in a safe and supportive environment.

5. Family Dynamics and External Stressors

In many relationships, external factors like family dynamics, financial stress, or work pressures can add strain. Couples may find it difficult to navigate these challenges while also maintaining a strong relationship. In such cases, family therapy in Vancouver may be a helpful addition to online couples counselling in BC, offering insights into how family influences can impact the relationship and how to address them.

The Role of Family Therapy in Vancouver in Enhancing Relationships

When couples face issues that involve family members, seeking professional help can provide clarity and resolution. Family therapy in Vancouver focuses on improving communication and relationships within the family unit, and can be particularly helpful when issues with in-laws, children, or other relatives affect a couple’s dynamic.

1. Addressing Family Conflict

In some cases, couples may struggle with the influence of extended family members or conflicts with parents or siblings. Family therapy in Vancouver offers a platform to address these conflicts in a structured and respectful manner. A therapist can help all parties involved express their concerns and work toward a solution that respects everyone’s needs.

2. Parenting Challenges

Parenting can be a major source of stress for couples. Disagreements over parenting styles, discipline, and how to balance family life can create tension. Family therapy in Vancouver can provide guidance on how to navigate these challenges, ensuring that both partners are on the same page when it comes to raising children and maintaining a healthy family environment.

3. Blending Families

Blending families from previous relationships can create challenges in how individuals interact with one another. Family therapy in Vancouver can assist couples in creating a harmonious family dynamic by helping members of a blended family understand and respect one another’s roles and emotions.

4. Coping with Life Transitions

Life transitions such as moving, changing jobs, or experiencing the loss of a loved one can add stress to a relationship. Family therapy in Vancouver can help individuals and couples cope with these changes by providing strategies for adjusting to new circumstances and maintaining strong relationships during tough times.

Look for a licensed and experienced therapist who specializes in relationship therapy and has a strong understanding of the unique challenges couples face. You may want to consider reading reviews or scheduling an initial consultation to ensure the therapist is a good match.

2. Set Realistic Expectations

Therapy is a process that takes time and effort. While you may start seeing improvements after a few sessions, lasting change requires consistent work and commitment from both partners. Be patient with the process and remain open to learning new skills and strategies that can enhance your relationship.

3. Stay Committed

To get the most out of online couples counselling in BC, both partners must be fully committed to the process. Attend all sessions, be honest about your feelings, and be willing to make changes. Therapy can be difficult at times, but it's an investment in your future and your relationship.

I've seen a couple people talk about this, and I just reblogged something pertaining to this earlier today, but I'll say it again, maybe clearer.

It's not Billy's fault if he doesn't want to see/save/bring back Wanda. That's not his responsibility.

Now let me say this - Wanda is a mother. Wanda undoubtedly loves her kids, and her family. But that doesn't mean Billy owes her love in return.

Billy and Tommy were brought into the world to fulfill a role and play a part in the fantasy of this perfect family. They served a purpose for Wanda.

Now arguably anyone could say that any planned pregnancy is a child that serves a purpose to a mother and father. In the best cases that means having someone to love and care for unconditionally.

When it comes to children, they should always come first.

But Wanda made the twins, albeit unconsciously, to serve the purpose of filling the hole in her life.

And when a town needed saving - who were the ones who had to pay for it?

Sure - Wanda suffered for it. But Billy suffered too.

And seriously - name one thing that Wanda did for her children that didn't serve herself first and foremost.

Again, I have no doubt that she loved her babies, and given more time than the, like, week she had with them, I'm sure she would have grown to become a wonderful mother. She needed to heal first, and she never got that opportunity because her family became her therapy.

They served her needs. She didn't serve theirs.

So when Billy, who has no memories of his life in Westview anyway, hears all that Wanda has done -

Versus the mother he has in Rebecca, who always put his needs first, because he was her child and she loved him unconditionally. Even if he changed after the accident, even if he never remembered his past as William - she still loves him and treats him the same.

Theres been a lot of discussion online in recent years about adult children going no contact with their parents - because it was never their job to have to do all the work in the relationship. They shouldn't have to be their parent's therapist. They shouldn't have to play the part their parent wants them too.

A parent's love should be unconditional.

A child's isn't.

hi, everyone. i hope you all are doing well. i’ve been meaning and wanting to check in here for many months but i have also been too afraid to. but i want to do it now because im potentially at a turning point and i want you all (especially close friends and mutuals who i haven’t talked to in a long time) to know what’s going on because unfortunately i do not have the strength to reach out individually right now, as much as i desperately want to.

when i left this place a year ago my depression was extremely bad. i didn’t know how long i was going to be gone or whether i was leaving for good, but i knew i needed to make some changes in my life before i could be here healthily again. well… 2024 has been a year of IMMENSE change for me! a lot of it has been for the good. i made some progress in my life by moving out, and i’ve had a lot of joy and healing in (very slowly) building a home for myself and figuring out what kind of life i want to live and how i want to live it. (im learning how to drive! i have string lights and stuffed animals and a wii! i am capable of solo travel!)

but… a lot of the changes that have happened this year have been for the worse. in almost every respect 2024 has been one of the most difficult and painful years of my life (and that is saying something!). this year a couple of traumatic things have happened to me and around me, and it has been extremely hard to live my life despite and beyond them. i have been dealing with physical and mental health issues that have greatly impacted my quality of life and make it unbearably difficult for me to get through every day. i am constantly running on negative spoons. one of the most damaging outcomes of this is that i have almost completely withdrawn from society both online and off and that is not an exaggeration. ive stopped talking to all of my friends and family except for people i see every day at work. i impulsively isolate myself when im in pain / distress despite knowing both emotionally and logically that it makes literally everything worse and i don’t know how to (and often can’t muster the mental strength to) work through the shame and grief and anxiety to seek connection and support. and im struggling to take care of myself including physically and its having severe consequences in every aspect of my life and in the lives of people who care about me. i live alone and i still think that was the good and right choice for me to make, but i am profoundly and agonizingly lonely. my depression was extremely bad when i left here, but i think despite everything it might be even worse now.

all of this is to say: this week i finally decided i can’t suffer like this anymore, and i began the process of seeking a formal diagnosis for my depression and other mental health issues and exploring additional treatment beyond talk therapy (most likely meds but there may be other things too / instead; still at the very beginning stages of figuring it all out). i am extremely anxious about many dimensions of this but also hopeful that it will help me hurt less because when i tell you at this point my brain and heart physically ache from depression like 85% of every day…. lol. im really hoping that once i get my mental / emotional pain under control i’ll be able to start tending to the parts of my life that have withered while ive suffered and repair the damage of my neglect as best i can. (which is to say… if you’re my friend and you’re reading this please know i love you and i miss you terribly and i am so sorry we haven’t spoken and i am so sorry im telling you this in a tumblr post you may not even read instead of a reply or a call back. i still love you and i want you to know it is not you specifically i am ghosting, its everyone. i am trying to build the strength and im scared i can’t but i hope i can.)

that said… i have decided i am not going to be coming back to this blog. i miss this place and the community i felt connected to here, but the way i was using this website as a public diary was extremely unhealthy, and as much as i miss it and still crave the instant comfort/validation i see clearly now with months of distance how damaging it was. (i truly cannot believe i was oversharing like that lol i am so private now (yes due largely to mental illness but still!)) i am so grateful to everyone who reassured me when i was struggling and celebrated my successes. this was the first place, online or off, where i (misguidedly but it’s true!) could actually be honest and candid about things happening in my life and my reactions to them instead of communicating it all through metaphors in my art and poetry, and it truly mattered that i had that experience here so that i could seek out more spaces like it in my offline life. i know i already said thank you in a previous update but really… thank you. 💗🫂

im not planning on deleting this blog. i may come back here and share updates like this one from time to time, but otherwise i will leave it as it is. but… i do want to get back to using a few of my fandom-centered sideblogs because looking at and compiling art of things i like is a low-energy thing that makes me happy! so you may see activity there every once in a while (tbh during this hiatus i have opened tumblr from time to time to look at art and save a bunch of posts that i wanted to reblog eventually lol). but… if i notice myself slipping back into bad habits i may private the sideblogs or abandon them completely.

i don’t know how to end this post. actually wait yes i do. one of my all time favorite artists is anna-laura sullivan (@/annalaura_art on instagram) and this is one of my all time favorite drawings of hers (so much so that i made it my lock screen so i can look at it every day!). this saying has brought me a lot of comfort and i hope it (and her other art) will bring you comfort too if you’re also in a dark place.

one more thing: not to be kind of a freak but in writing this post i discovered a longer version of my goodbye post from last year in my drafts. i don’t remember why i didn’t post it and obviously it’s outdated now but i want to share the draft because i went into more detail about tumblr having been helpful for me specifically when it comes to my mutuals + info / disclaimers about how to reach me and i want you guys to hear that in my past self’s voice lol! i put it under the cut if you want to read it!

2023 tess said it best: i hope you know how much it’s meant to me to be in your company. thank you for sharing and thank you for listening. i love you. happy [almost] new year. be well. good luck. shine bright. until we meet again ☕️🐈🫂💗

Embark on Your Marriage Counseling Journey with Online Therapy Platforms

Marriage is a journey filled with both joyous moments and challenges. However, navigating these challenges can sometimes become overwhelming, leading couples to seek guidance and support. This is where marriage counseling comes into play, offering a safe space for couples to address issues, strengthen their bond, and embark on a journey of growth together.

Evolution of Therapy: Traditional vs. Online

In the past, couples relied primarily on traditional therapy methods, which often involved scheduling appointments, commuting to a therapist's office, and engaging in face-to-face sessions. While these methods have proven effective for many couples, they may pose challenges in terms of accessibility, convenience, and privacy.

However, with the advancement of technology, online therapy platforms have emerged as a convenient and effective alternative. These platforms provide couples with the flexibility to attend sessions from the comfort of their own home, eliminating barriers such as geographical distance and scheduling conflicts.

Benefits of Online Marriage Counseling

One of the most significant advantages of online marriage counseling is its convenience and accessibility. Couples can schedule sessions at a time that works best for them, without having to worry about commuting or taking time off work. Additionally, online therapy offers a level of privacy and anonymity that may be appealing to couples who feel uncomfortable discussing personal issues in a traditional therapy setting.

Furthermore, online therapy platforms often offer more affordable rates compared to traditional therapy, making counseling accessible to a wider range of couples.

How Online Therapy Platforms Work

Embarking on your marriage counseling journey with an online therapy platform is simple and straightforward. First, you'll need to register and create an account on the platform. During the registration process, you may be asked to provide some basic information about yourself and your partner, as well as your preferences regarding therapy.

Once registered, the platform will match you with a licensed therapist who specializes in marriage counseling. You'll then have the opportunity to communicate with your therapist through various methods, such as messaging, video calls, or phone calls, depending on your preferences and comfort level.

Finding the Right Online Therapy Platform

When choosing an online therapy platform, it's essential to do your research and ensure you select a reputable and trustworthy provider. Take the time to read reviews and testimonials from other couples who have used the platform, and consider your specific needs and preferences.

Some platforms may specialize in certain types of counseling, such as individual therapy, couples counseling, or family therapy, so be sure to choose one that aligns with your goals for counseling.

Types of Counseling Offered Online

Online therapy platforms typically offer a wide range of counseling services to meet the diverse needs of couples. Whether you're struggling with communication issues, trust issues, intimacy issues, financial conflicts, or parenting disagreements, there's a counseling approach that can help.

Individual counseling allows each partner to explore their thoughts and feelings independently, while couples counseling focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts within the relationship. Family therapy may be beneficial for couples who are facing challenges related to parenting, blended families, or extended family dynamics.

Addressing Common Marriage Issues Through Online Counseling

Online marriage counseling can help couples address a variety of common issues that may arise in their relationship. From communication problems to trust issues to financial conflicts, a skilled therapist can provide guidance and support to help couples navigate these challenges and strengthen their bond.

By addressing these issues head-on and learning effective communication and conflict resolution skills, couples can build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Success Stories: Real-Life Experiences

Countless couples have benefited from online marriage counseling, experiencing transformative changes in their relationship and personal growth. Testimonials from real couples highlight the power of therapy to heal wounds, strengthen connections, and create lasting change.

These success stories serve as inspiration for couples who may be hesitant to seek counseling, showing them that there is hope for overcoming challenges and building a happier, healthier relationship.

Tips for Making the Most of Online Marriage Counseling

To make the most of your online marriage counseling experience, it's essential to approach the process with an open mind and a willingness to engage fully. Commit to attending sessions regularly, being honest and transparent with your therapist, and following through with any exercises or strategies they recommend.

By actively participating in the counseling process and implementing what you've learned in your daily life, you can maximize the benefits of therapy and create lasting positive change in your relationship.

Overcoming Stigma Surrounding Counseling

Despite the many benefits of marriage counseling, there remains a stigma surrounding seeking help for marital issues. However, it's essential to normalize the idea of counseling and break down misconceptions about therapy.

Seeking help for your relationship is a sign of strength, not weakness, and can ultimately lead to greater happiness and fulfillment for both partners.

The Future of Marriage Counseling: Integrating Technology

As technology continues to advance, the future of marriage counseling holds exciting possibilities. Virtual reality therapy, for example, has the potential to immerse couples in simulated environments where they can practice communication and problem-solving skills in a safe and controlled setting.

Additionally, AI-driven counseling tools may provide couples with personalized insights and recommendations based on their unique needs and preferences, enhancing the effectiveness of therapy and improving outcomes.

Embarking on your marriage counseling journey with an marcferguson offers numerous benefits, including convenience, accessibility, and affordability. By addressing common marriage issues, learning effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and committing to the counseling process, couples can strengthen their bond and build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

AITA for being paranoid about US Border Security?

🪤 <- for searching later

Background info: I live in Canada, (relatively) close to the US border. Because of this, when shopping online it can be cheaper to have orders shipped to the nearest American town and then drive down yourself to pick them up. I hadn't done this myself but it's pretty normal to do around here.

This happened at the end of this summer, so the situation is fully over but my (white) friends immediately adjacent to this situation have said that I was basically the only asshole here and I feel that I am, at least, only one of the assholes. I want people's genuine opinions however. I have since stopped talking to this entire group of people, who I'd previously been friends with for 4-5 years, over this issue and a couple others.

My friend (20s, white) had ordered a package to [nearest American town], and because they don't have a car, they were looking for someone who could do a day trip to the states so they could pick it up. I (20s, white-passing, but from a mixed South Asian Muslim family, & I have very recognizably Muslim family names) offered to drive them down with my car, they agreed. We were going to split gas money, the date was set, everything was ready to go.

A few days prior to when we were going to go, my south asian parent reminded me that because I have muslim names, I need to be very careful when crossing the border, because the US Customs is well known for profiling muslims/arabs and pulling them aside for intensive screening. My parent also pointed out that, because my friend smokes weed basically every single day (legal in Canada), I would need to make sure that they were not carrying any weed with them when we went.

I was freaked out by this, and was not thinking super clearly in the moment because it was close to midnight and things my parent had mentioned about previous experiences going through Customs had scared me a lot.

I immediately texted my friend, saying that Customs would find weed on them if they swabbed them, and that it would be "a big problem." They replied that Customs doesn't swab for weed, and that they "failed to see any problem." I replied that Customs is allowed to go through your phone (people have been turned away at the border for admitting to having used cannabis before, but if you tell Customs that you've never smoked weed and they find evidence to the contrary they can ban you from entering the country for lying to border personnel.)

I linked them to an unofficial site that went into detail about what US Customs agents can do if you have weed on you or admit to having smoked previously. My vague intent at this point was for us to get everything in order so that none of the bags/jackets/etc we were taking could possibly have had any weed crumbs/dead old vapes/edible packaging in them , but I didn't get a chance to say this because they immediately replied that even if Customs tested them and found weed in their system, that they wouldn't care because it's legal in Canada. I said that Customs very much would care, and they said that I was insulting them and accusing them of having a criminal record. At this point they sent a further ~10 upset/angry texts in a row, which I didn't open or reply to because I was really upset at this point and needed a minute.

At this point (around midnight), they phoned me, I picked it up and they immediately(!) started yelling at me and saying I was a piece of shit etc etc. I told them they sounded dysregulated and should take a minute to compose themself (I phrased what I said in an aggravating therapy-speak way, bc I had been watching vids about cptsd immediately before they phoned me, but I was extremely freaked out, as I think most people would be when their friend is suddenly yelling at them, and it was the first thing that came to mind). This just made them yell louder, so I told them I refused to let people speak to me that way, said goodnight, they said goodnight, we hung up, and I blocked their calls and texts so they couldn't continue berating me.

After this, I realized that I'd completely neglected to mention that the reason I was particularly scared was because of US Customs' Islamophobic profiling, but I had gone into the interaction assuming (incorrectly) that they already knew implicitly that that was going to be an issue, because we'd known each other for 5 years and I've definitely talked (not recently) about how going thru US Customs is always a pain in the ass because my whole family gets profiled and taken for extra questioning, so right before I went to sleep I briefly unblocked them and sent a text saying that the reason I was so paranoid was because of the extra questioning I was already expecting to encounter at the border, but that it was now irrelevant anyway because I refused to be in a car with someone who was totally fine treating me this way.

I've since stopped talking to this person and, by association, my (white) friendgroup because they sided with them completely. It was a long time coming for other additional reasons I can't get into though.

TL;DR

Planning trip from Canada to US in my car with stoner friend, realized a few days before trip that US Customs can arbitrarily fuck your shit up if they find evidence of weed on you. Got scared and tried to tell stoner friend that it would be a big problem if they had weed on them, they flipped their shit and yelled at me over the phone about it, I blocked them (functionally cancelling the trip).

I believe I was accusatory in a bad way, and that I should have communicated better, but ultimately that my fear had a 100% legitimate basis and should not have been completely and totally dismissed by everyone around me, even though I was too extreme in my paranoia

(They were able to get another ride and pick the package up later)

What are these acronyms?
