#Understanding Life

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

- Jack London

If you want to experience love, then you have to be ready for pain. One doesn’t come without the other … If you want laughter, expect tears.

-Terese Collins, Home (Harlan Coben)

Breaking in my shadows, using my ways through hollows.

Removing wards of odd, calling the one for all.

You me are the same yet different from the world beneath.

You answer my thoughts but I answer none at all.

My eyes are the one yet you seek the none.

Beneath down is me and above yourself is me, you look down on yourself but hide from me, who are you dear me ?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

thinking about harvey stardew valley and being a rural country doctor with a caseload like:

guy who won’t accept any diagnosis except “you have consumption and need to go to the seaside for your health”

woman who asks what gemstone he would prescribe for her UTI

guy who spends half the day trying to give himself a concussion and the other half trying to blow out his hearing on his guitar

two people who have struggled with alcoholism for years but reject all of his resources for it UNTIL someone gifts them alcohol biweekly for a year straight and suddenly their lives turn around

guy who will not stop mailing people bombs but in a friendly way and like this just isn’t on the PTSD screener??

guy who won’t stop asking him vague but increasingly bizarre questions about the safety of truffle oil

woman who EATS ROCKS

and also there’s a fucking wizard. what’s up with that. how often do you think the man goes “why did i get an MD why didn’t i just train to be a wizard i didn’t even know that was an option” while performing emergency surgery on this one farmer who won’t stop picking fights with ACTUAL MONSTERS

Growing up, there's one thing that I wish my mum taught me instead of me finding out by trial and error, which is, being able to stand up for myself.

If no one has told you, I'd like you to know that you can object, you can disagree, you can have controversial opinions and you can be a person who posesses a thought-process or lifestyle which is different from others.

You don't have to fit in to make it convenient for other people to understand you better. Also, choose to be brave, because you can.

ON LEAVING SOMETHING

There comes a time when a man feels exhausted, frustrated, and so alone. Mostly, it's because you've left behind something that made you happy and secure. Leaving a place where you’ve spent most years of your life, where you enjoyed time with people you’ve known since childhood, is never easy. You recall the moments when you reflect, realizing you don't find people or places like them around you. That’s when you understand the value of the life you once lived. That’s when you recognize the worth of those who made you laugh when you were sad. Life can only be fully lived when you're with your loved ones, with friends who speak their hearts to you. True love exists in our memories, where we can truly feel it from the heart. Therefore, Live to gather as much love as possible.

Separation is a part of life. It takes courage to make it happen. At the same time, It can be an opportunity to broaden your horizons, meet new people, and see the beauty of the world, all while remembering the past we once lived. O heart, it’s time to move forward with a fresh spirit, to set new goals, and to live once again.

What is happiness...??

Contentment and Happiness go hand in hand. One and the same. How to go about it...

What is contentment…?? Contentment is about focusing on what you have and paying attention to its meaning. A person is content in his life by looking at himself and realizing whatever he has achieved, whether big or small. Do you have health?? Do you have friends?? Do you have a good relationship with others?? Do you have dreams and a vision to work towards them?? Have you left past pain and…

alex hirsch was really just so pissed that no one saw his epic old man yaoi that he went and wrote a whole new book and made a whole website specifically to show meticulous evidence that this weird old man fucked a triangle.

he really said what were ford and bill really doing in that pocket dimension they shared, hm? did you ever think of that? oh - you think it was just chess? hm. interesting. i dont.

the ultimate rare pair shipper. i have never seen a creator do this before. absolutely fascinating at every angle.

Doms can ask for attention too.

Doms can be needy for attention too.

Doms can ask for reassurance too.

Doms can be clingy too.

Doms can be not in the mood too.

Doms can get jealous and insecure too.

They're not weaker or less of a dom for any of it. They're humans, too, not just Doms. And the fact that people genuinely think otherwise is kind of weird to me.

Baptised as an adult? Why?

Hey! I know! it's been a while! Hope you enjoy the latest blog post. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and if you like it, please feel free to share it with someone else who may like it too!

We’ve all been there… when you come to one of those really mind blowing and life changing experiences on our own unique journeys in life. For me personally one of those times was when I took the decision to get baptised as an adult on November 21st 2021. Trust and believe! This is a big decision/moment on your journey in life when you’re an adult! I was christened as a baby, but it took me 19…

On the theme of continuity of consciousness

I believe that it has taken far too long for a strong distinction of this matter to be made, and I have noticed this as a fact on so many sites.

If a user creates an account on any social media platform, this inevitably becomes a source that articulates the mind's activity and as such each platform the user creates is their own intelligence having fun.

Should an individual create a locked account under their own account via twitter say for instance, and name it something other than their own name (without artistic agency) and talk bullshit on it then, and only then, it may be necessary to light a fire under your ass about it.

From twitter to tumblr to faceborg or anywhere with sound intelligence. It's called web-weaving my love, free agency and free speech- look it up.
