Embracing Life's Journey: Bloom Where You're Planted
Shaina Tranquilino
September 28, 2023
Life is an unpredictable journey, full of twists and turns that often lead us to unexpected destinations. While it may be tempting to constantly yearn for greener pastures or dwell on what could have been, there is great value in learning to bloom where you're planted. This simple yet profound philosophy encourages us to make the most of our current circumstances, embrace the opportunities they present, and cultivate growth and fulfillment wherever we find ourselves.
1. Acceptance:
The first step towards blooming where you're planted lies in accepting your current situation. Life rarely goes exactly as planned, but resisting or denying reality only fuels frustration and discontentment. Instead, acknowledge your present circumstances without judgment or comparisons. By accepting things as they are, you can free up energy to focus on making the best of your situation.
2. Cultivate a positive mindset:
A positive mindset can work wonders when it comes to thriving in any environment. Remember that happiness largely stems from within and is not solely determined by external factors. Even in challenging situations, seek out the silver linings and adopt an attitude of gratitude. Look for opportunities for personal growth and cultivate resilience by focusing on lessons learned rather than dwelling on setbacks.
3. Embrace new experiences:
Bloomers understand that life is an ever-evolving adventure filled with countless opportunities for growth and discovery. Embrace new experiences wholeheartedly, even if they seem unfamiliar or outside your comfort zone. Each experience has the potential to teach valuable lessons and broaden your perspectives, ultimately helping you blossom into a more well-rounded individual.
4. Nurture meaningful connections:
One crucial aspect of blooming where you're planted involves nurturing meaningful relationships with those around you. Connect with like-minded individuals who share similar interests or aspirations, supporting each other's ambitions while offering genuine companionship along the way. Building strong bonds creates a sense of belonging and community, allowing you to thrive in your current environment.
5. Set achievable goals:
Setting achievable goals helps direct your energy towards personal growth and progress. Reflect on your passions, talents, and aspirations, then set realistic objectives that align with your present circumstances. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps to maintain motivation and celebrate incremental achievements. By constantly challenging yourself to reach new heights, you'll continue blooming wherever life takes you.
6. Practice self-care:
Taking care of oneself is essential for blooming where you're planted. Prioritize self-care activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engage in regular exercise, eat balanced meals, get enough sleep, and allocate time for hobbies or relaxation. Remember that investing in self-care not only benefits you but also enhances your ability to navigate any challenges that come your way.
Life may not always unfold as we imagine it will be; however, adopting the mindset to bloom where you're planted empowers us to find joy and fulfillment regardless of our circumstances. By accepting reality, cultivating a positive mindset, embracing new experiences, nurturing meaningful connections, setting achievable goals, and practicing self-care, we can transform every situation into an opportunity for growth and happiness. So let go of what could have been or might be and focus on flourishing right where you are planted - for there lies the beauty of life's journey!
#bloom where you are planted#finding joy in the journey#embrace the present#cultivating happiness#thrive in the here and now#grow where you are planted#blossom in your current situation#nurture yourself#seizing opportunities#making the most of everyday

Destination Anywhere
We need to be somewhere soon. That’s dear old Jack’s favorite line. He once blurted it out on our way back to Calgary. He was in his eighties, still going, and he wouldn’t let me drive. It’s what kept him like an Energizer bunny. “I don’t know where I’m headed, but I’m going anyway.” Sometimes, with reasons undefined, we really just have to go. His take reflects a perspective that embraces the…

“yay the bad kids can spend all their downtime doing mystery and relaxation rolls now that academics are out of the way!!” all i’m hearing is that murph has the opportunity to make riz’s arc this season even more heartbreaking as he continues to pour all his energy into mystery and helping his friends bc he simply cannot let himself relax or he’ll Die
also i have a feeling that murph is saving that rage token for a juicy plot/character moment and part of me hopes the npc he’ll mess up his relationship with is jawbone :) can you imagine jawbone finding out riz stole klck’s file from his office and, not realising that riz is this 👌 close to snapping, (rightfully) gets a little mad at him and riz bites back WAY too hard? and jawbone has to deal with the fact that, even though he had a right to be angry, he’s screwed up his chances of helping the one kid he’s been having so much trouble reaching?
the only thing worse than this to me would be riz snapping at his mom (unthinkable) or one of the bad kids (life ruining)
#OHOHOHO#this is canon to me#murph please seize this opportunity i beg of you#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fhjy spoilers#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#riz gukgak#jawbone o'shaughnessey

Shen Qingqiu (Shen Yuan) in Sargent’s Repose. I imagine this is how White Lotus disciple Luo Binghe sees his Shizun while in reality, the Peak Lord is drooling, hair a mess, and has crumbs on his robes.
Now for a close-up:
And the sketch I posted earlier is linked here. Hope this ended up meeting expectations!
Your Easter Egg for this year is this view of what the scene looks like without the Shizun goggles.
#shen qingqiu#svsss#mxtx fan art#john singer sargent#pov Luo binghe#Shizun goggles on#I tried my best to make the setting and clothes more ancient China and was only marginally successful#like no way that skirt is accurate but I will seize all opportunities to paint luxuries drapery with both grubby hands#I'm glad you all love sargent as much as I do

DIHWYF Incorrect Quotes but it's mild Carmine sisters chaos
Because ✨sisters ✨
Clara, staring at newly adopted Vaggie: Um...want a beer?
Odette: She's like...five!
Clara: I DUNNO, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH HER?!
Clara: I'M BREAKING THE WINDOW!
Odette, whispering into her phone: Uh, hi- we locked our baby sister in the car and people are judging us.
Clara, now running around looking for a rock: I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GONNA BREAK IT!
Odette, whirling around: DO NOT BREAK THE WINDOW, YOU'LL GET GLASS ON HER!
Odette: But if you keep making up words, no one will understand you.
Young Vaggie: Clara will. Watch. *tugs on Clara's arm*
Clara: Yeah, squirt?
Vaggie: *complete gibberish*
Clara, immediately playing along: Whoa, are you serious?
Vaggie: *more gibberish*
Clara: I'd never considered that before!
Vaggie: *very serious gibberish*
Clara, patting her head: This changes everything.
Odette, facepalming: You're both crazy.
*Odette, spotting Vaggie trying to sneak out of her bedroom: Oh, not again. Come on, go back to bed before Mamá sees you.
Vaggie: But I don't want to go to bed!
Odette: Too bad, manita.
Vaggie, pouting: Why do I have to go to sleep? Why can't I just stay awake all night?
Odette, sighing and getting up to walk her back bed: Because that's the way the world is.
Vaggie: Well I'm going to make it so that's not how the world is!
Odette, tucking her in: That sounds like a big job. You're gonna need a full night's sleep for that.
Vaggie: Yeah, I will! *triumphantly snuggles in*
Vaggie, ten minutes later: Hey, wait a second-
Vaggie, curled up in front of the fridge: :(
Clara, spotting her: You alright, hermana?
Vaggie, sadly: I just miss Odette**.
Clara, sitting down next to her: Aw, I know.
Vaggie: And the fridge doesn't like me :(
Clara: I...know?
*Odette: Bed. Sleep. Now.
Vaggie, trying to hide behind Clara: But I'm not tired!
Clara: Yeah, 'Dette, she's not tired!
*they're both asleep in Clara's bed in ten minutes later*
Clara, snuggling lil' Vaggie: Big sister's going to drop-kick anyone that touches you 🥰
Odette, without missing a beat: And bigger sister's going to bail big sister out of jail.
Carmilla, cuddling Vaggie after she tripped and fell: I know it's tough, mija. But hey, how many times have you bumped your head or gotten a bruise while you're playing with your sisters?
Vaggie, holding an ice pack on her knee: Um...lots.
Carmilla: Right. And what do they always tell you?
Vaggie: ...don't tell Mamá?
Carmilla, who was fully expecting a different answer: What?!
Clara, who'd walked into the room to check on her little sister: Uh...I'll maybe come back later?
Clara, holding an ice pack to her sister's head: How much do you remember?
Teenage Vaggie, who'd just gotten into her first fight: Just the ambulance ride to the hospital, I think.
Odette: That wasn't an ambulance ride, I drove you.
Vaggie: But I heard sirens?
Clara: That was your girlfriend.
Charlie, clutching the largest teddy bear the hospital sold***: I got nervous!
Charlie, fresh into their relationship: If something happened to Vaggie, I...I couldn't live with myself.
Odette, completely straight faced: You wouldn't have to. Clara and I would kill you.
Vaggie, trying to sneak off with Charlie at a party: Guys, I need your help.
Clara: Oooh, ok. I have an idea.
Odette: Is it a bad idea?
Clara: *darts off in Velvette's direction*
Odette, jumping up to chase after her: CLARA, IS IT A BAD IDEA-****
Vaggie, walking by with a teapot:
Clara: Whatcha doing?
Vaggie: It's for Zestial. I'm planning on making some bad choices tonight and I want him on my side when Mom finds out.
Clara: Oooh, smart. I'll have to remember that.
Odette, not looking up from her laptop: I never realized the forethought that went into raising our mother's blood pressure.
BONUS:
Carmilla, trying to calm Lucifer down after he came to her for advice about Charlie: Look, I've raised three fully functional, well adjusted children and-
Luci, sniffling: You have three kids I don't know about?
Carmilla: ...
BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL
Here's a link to the AU!
*these exchanges definitely took place less than an hour apart.
**Odette is fine, she's just on a business trip and her sisters are sad.
***That bear is not for Vaggie. She has a different one for Vaggie. The older Carmines got her that so she would calm the fuck down
****is this a hint as to how Charlie and Vaggie meet? 🤫

devotionduo so codependent that when they try to be less so they end up hurting each other what if i kms
#mine.txt#zam hated being relied on so Heavily in s5 so now mapicc values team interindependence to a level that i dont think?? hes had before#which means hes taken more liberty in grinding for himself and his teammates a lot more than he used to#and because zam places a lot of value in himself in being the team grinder he feels useless and unneded#and since zams a huge grinder it means mapiccs main method of helping him is through violence but since hes a pacifist this season#and while technically zam is fine with other ppl killing and most importantly killing For him; he doesnt really have any beef that requires#killing as a form of revenge which means mapicc cant do the main thing that zam (and anyone else really) uses him for#and they both want to do and be more for the other but theyre stuck at a standstill cause theyre in uncharted territory#cause theyre friendly but not teamed (or even pseudo-teamed like in early s5)#i will say tho mapes more active in trying to find ways to hang out with zam#but if there isnt a clear opportunity to do so hes so Weird about it lmao like he basically just kinda. hovers over him lmao#whether in chat or otherwise#but when an opportunity Does present itself tho he seizes on it basically immediately#like the stalking is easy pickings but theres also gaias hand and literally anytime zam asks him to kill someone for him#ok but seriously tho the fact that mapicc basically declared them as teammates (even if its not official)#after he finished with the stalking was so sdfsdklaghsaljh#like bruh why does zam even have doubts about mapicc prioritizing him above everyone else he doesnt even do all that for his actual team 😭#devotions
