It’s me again and I still don’t know how we if it’s possible to end Yesenia life.
The only way I would assume we could hurt her would be to make her seem mad or crazy but since she can rewind time if I remember correctly then she will be the most difficult opponent. I will come up with a solution that I promise.
The only I got was if she used her power make it were she goes to pocket realm or dimension. And she would be stock in a time loop but the man question is how far back can she go because if she really sees the Mc as a threat then Yesenia can go back to the beginning and frame you for stuff you didn’t do.
This right here is difficult but my brain my come with a solution. This has in a way given me something to do when I just need a break from the real world
Oh also
Bear hug 🤗
Hi anon I do hope all is well with you! 🤗 hug!
I was hesitant about whether or not I should add that OP power to the pc character stats page but just for you I've decided that I would add this ability. I'll allow the character to have the ability to create their own dimension. Then again 😏 god I want to spill all the juicy details but I can't.
And you do have a point! This is why she's an undying cockroach. In the past when Lady Anaya saved the crown, Yesenia deliberately went back in time, schemed against the OH just to switch places with her that faithful day. Just so she could get all the fame and merit that came with that tragedy. The poor OH has been living in her shadows for years. An excellent child turned into a waste under her own sisters hand.
The worst thing is that, if it weren't for the OH mother, Yesenia's mother would still be a whore in a brothel. But ones ungratefulness knows no bounds!
Don't feel discouraged anon! I believe that you'll most certainly think of a way to defeat this undying cockroach! Whenever you have another brilliant idea, please do share it with me!
Also anon I do hope you have a wonderful day! Stay safe! 😁
#undying cockroach yesenia#new stats?#lovely anon#how to plan the perfect murder?!#this anon is powerful! they were able to figure out an ability stat i was hesitant on adding!#keep 'em coming anon!#wont put it past you#if you actually end up killing yesenia when you meet her for the firsr time 😂#are authors even suppose to hate the characters they create?!#come one come all join the kill yesenia bandwagon before its too late#stay safe anon!#have a wonderful day or night#i am glad this request of mine was able to take your mind off reality for a bit#i do hope you're alright anon! another hug for you!#🤗🤗

Spent the entire night going through all the cockles compilations, blogs, gifs, videos, and i am sooo numb. I am not the one to ship real people but what the hell did i watch all night?
I need spn revival stat!
I can't go on shipping real people, it's too much.
Oh, well.
C'mon. Give us something Destiel related or i have to join cockles bandwagon.
I am serious.
A random pic that I wanted to post after the late night Jenmish giggling, near kisses, touching, hugging, caressing, temporary breakup and make up fiasco. Don't know why, but I wanted to post this "flower" from my mom's garden after the whole Cockles rabbit hole.
My eyes are red, heart is heavy, head is spinning, what is happening.....
Is it all PR or just next level friendship that i didn't know existed?
But they KNOW what they are doing..
DAMMIT.
*productivity and logical thinking has left the chat*
*sighs and moans in cockles

imma join the "crowley's not gonna be a miserable cunt" bandwagon.
It's fun to meme about the Last 15 Minutes as the ineffable divorce, but they're both smarter than that. They both know they love each other, they've both indirectly confessed to one another. Even if during their last moments there were tons of misunderstandings in their "talk" when they just spoke towards one another instead of listening to what the other one had to say. And they for sure hurt each other in the process.
Sure, in the series Crowley mourns his dead best friend drunk in a bar, but the scene was supposed to originally happen in the St. James Park. This time, Aziraphale isn't dead, he's just gone upstairs. Crowley might despise his reasoning, but I think he'd connect the dots and understand them, even if he condemns them. Hell still wants its war that Aziraphale started. Crowley knows the Second Coming is underway from his infiltration into Heaven.
Crowley's precious, peaceful, fragile existence he/they carved out for himself/them is gone. I dunno am I gonna be the only one thinking this, but I think it’s a good thing! Crowley didn’t seem to be too happy with his current state, tired of living in his car, questioning the meaning to it all to Shax. Series!Crowley has been running all this time, he’s been living in a limbo and something needed to happen for him to wake up from his stupor. I think S3 is going to force both Aziraphale and Crowley to mature to the beings they were in the book. Aziraphale was So Done with Heaven. Crowley was an optimist.
If there was one rock-hard certainty that had sustained him through the bad times— he thought briefly of the fourteenth century— then it was utter surety that he would come out on top; that the universe would look after him.
Crowley's lived amongst humans for 6000 years and he's seen the shit they live through time and time again. He's gone local. Families lost to war/plague/other horror, diseases riddling their fragile bodies, misfortune after misfortune can pour down on these miserable creatures... and they somehow always get up and live on. They hope. They've got no choice but to. They heal, they'll remarry, get more kids. They'll love again and again. Their love isn't vanquished. Grief is, after all, love's natural continuation.
Even if it’s always Too Late, he has to stop running and start trying. And hoping. That’s the human way. That’s the Us way.
So no, I don’t think Crowley’s gonna waste time being sad. What Crowley's gonna be is MAD. Mad at Heaven (maybe a teensy bit mad at Aziraphale but that's besides the point) for their schemes. He'd love to get away from it all, but now that the other half of his group has been dragged back into the shitshow, I think he's going to start scheming on his own. Planning how to save his angel, the other half of his group, yet again.

Good bye. I hope everyone who bullied me is fucking happy. I hope everyone who got my account deleted is happy. I'm done.
cw: mentions of self-harm and mutilation under the readmore, and also just basic dash consideration. I realize I have not been here in months, owe everything and everyone, etc... which adds an extra layer of mind-bending hilarity to this all.
Stray,
You are both breaking my heart and wearing my last nerve out. I'm only human. I'm not a saint. While I am genuinely very sorry that tumblr deleted your account, did you read the email that they sent to you? I know that you screenshotted it. You have it posted right now on this iteration of your blog.
Truth be told? I don't know if anyone reported your account. I can say with a clear conscience that I didn't. I had no reason to. The last I interacted with you and/or that account was when I was in the comments of your pinned post, talking to you there.
I am not exactly certain that your account would have required much reporting, to be honest. I think that you are imagining a bandwagon of people joining together to work against you, given the way you are currently in several inboxes, calling people bullies and so on. Again, I can say with a completely clear conscience, I have never participated in any such link up or bandwagon against you, or anyone else.
So let's keep it a buck. You do somewhat routinely post about the things mentioned in that email. It's your blog, you have a right to talk about the state of your mental health if you want to, but in this case, it was tumblr itself taking notice and action of the frequency of that, and what specifically you were saying.
Hell, let's go back in time a bit. You and I literally met and became mutuals BECAUSE you posted a farewell note on your blog, several deletions and remakes ago. It was written as if it were a done deal, and having been familiar with your url in the fandom tags, I was immediately worried for you, stranger that you were, and desperate to reach out to you hoping it would come before a too-late kind of moment. You know what the saddest part of that search for you was? Encountering people who did claim to know you and who said, with great shame, that this was somewhat regular for you.
You know it too, because even in our conversations you mentioned having been blamed or accused of attention seeking in the past and having callouts written about you.
The answer is right there, Stray. Your blog was deleted for mentions of self-harm. You may not have been glorifying it or promoting it, but you posted about it enough that you finally tripped a flag somewhere. That's it. That's all it is.
As for the rest? This is the second time you're calling me a bully. Yet again, I am asking you to prove it. Please show me the instances in which I bullied you, or the actions that I took against you. What, exactly, did I do? Because to the best of my recollection? I spent a while trying to be your friend, trying to be as supportive as I could be, introducing you to other friends of mine to help widen your circle, gaming with you, plotting things to write with you and then the one night I couldn't stay up late to talk with you because I was literally recovering from being incredibly ill AND had to take my son to an appointment the next day... ended up with you having sent me overnight screenshots of deleting your blog and either blocking or unfriending me on discord. Which one of those things was the bullying, Stray? Because the way I see it? You're the one who ditched me the second I couldn't be of use to you.
last but not least, rumor out of the hell part of this country says you have a problem with sharing mutuals. you don't like it when someone you like writes or interacts with someone you don't like and that may be the root cause of your distress. if so, rumors of my and @lt-ghxst's relationship are both greatly exaggerated and misunderstood. it's not my fault I tagged and bagged him, as that is what you do with wild gators. however, if he has slighted you, I don't take any responsibility for him. he's untrained and not yet housebroken. it's a miracle if I can get him to only piss outdoors. he bites. he's ornery and nasty-tempered. Honestly, he should probably be put to sleep but I am determined to break him in.
#self harm cw#also for anyone wondering or raising brows#that last bit of crack is just that#crack and hilarity inserted for my own peace of mind#and bc it's an inside joke with the mentioned party#don't mind us#we have to laugh or else we'd swing

I finally joined the Corporate Clash bandwagon, no doubt thanks to some close friends of mine. I’ve actually been playing since late January/early February, though my interest in it was relatively passive.... Until a few days ago. I do a bit of a dive into the Corporate Clash lore and just like that, the brainworms got a hold of me.
So this is my main Toon at the moment, Loopy Lancelot. She’s quite the silly fellow, outgoing and chatty, loves cracking little jokes with her friends. She’s a pretty enthusiastic one, especially when it comes to slapstick, which she considers peak comedy. Other Toons, however.... Not so much. They think she’s way too much of a brute and thus tend to avoid her, so she doesn’t have many friends. The few friends she does have however, primarily this one friend group that consists of me and my friends’ Toons, are ones she care about deeply and will happily sacrifice her happiness for them. She’s also trans!
She also may or may not end up being shipped with one of the Managers, cause those fellas especially have me in a brainrot choke hold. At the very least she’ll befriend one of them, anyways. Who will it be? I don’t know if I feel confident enough to elaborate publicly.
Bonus: What she currently looks like in-game:
Her drip here isn’t finalized at the moment. The shoes and collar are staying, I may swap out the shirt with one of the playing card ones from the Gumball Machine because I REALLY like the aesthetic of that set. The firefighter skirt is to be swapped out with the knight, which probably won’t happen for a LOOONG while because I am nowhere near ready to fight Holly (I’m still early into the Barnacle Boatyard part of the main quest), plus the low drop rate of that thing.Good Cog that’s gonna be really fun /s

So. For those who know how I am...severe procrastination, loss of motivation and so on...feel free to ignore me rant in a moment.
For those that don't, BE MY GUEST IN THIS IDEA. : D
Cal Kestis Fanfic.
I am jumping on the bandwagon like...way too late, with Survivor about to be dropped any week now (and tbh, I prefer Fallen Order Kestis...older Cal isn't my Cal.). But I only just recently have been blessed with enough money for a Gaming Laptop, my very first, and Fallen Order was on Sale, I am a Star Wars fan, so it had to be done.
To my Fanfic idea:
Cal runs a mission on (currently still unnamed planet), runs across a sudden spike in enormous Force Energy, for like...a split second, but even that was enough to take his attention off his initial target (He sees weird stuff or chest, he goes for it, Magpie Cal)
The Empire ofc also notices that and is on the Force Sensitive in minutes, causing Cal to run into a wall of Stormtroopers.
In an act of "safe the idiot from getting himself killed", they end up as a team for his mission Yada Yada Yada.
Goes on for a for a while, she joins the Mantis Crew, I might, depending on my mood, skip a big part of that bonding time since that ISN'T the main attraction.
It is...Inquisitor Cal Kestis. Yes I know, I am so original, give me an Oscar rn...
The main Character is already a more neutral Force Sensitive, to a point she doesn't just question the Dark Side, but also the Light, the one she's supposed to serve. But that's something she keeps in her background monolog, never let's anybody openly know until later.
She's basically a Grey Jedi...well, Padawan. They both were never knighted before the Purge after all.
Anyway yeah, tldr:
Begins as Basic Cal Kestis x Force Sensitive OC
Ends in a chaos of "What is even right anymore?" Inquisitor Cal Kestis x Inquisitor OC
I will try to add Smut, if we even get that far
NEWCOMERS, DO NOT LOOK AT MY FORMER WORK. DO NOT SPOIL YOURSELF FOR THE MISERY THAT HAS TO ULTIMATELY HAPPEN.
EDIT FEW SECONDS AFTER POSTING:
I am literally hanging myself on ONE song for my obsession, so it would probably fit best to listen to while reading (if I make something)
In the name of Love
Both the normal version and the slowed one. Gives me tingles for my pairing.
#Star Wars Fallen Order#cal kestis x reader#cal kestis#Cal Kestis x OC#this is a mistake#Someone stop me from making myself miserable#fanfic ideas#author rant#rant#inquisitor cal kestis#inquisitor cal kestis x OC#inquisitor cal kestis x reader

Finished The Lost Metal over two weeks ago, but it took me a bit of time to collect my thoughts and type them out.
Spoilers under the cut.
Despite the multi-chaptered epilogue, “The End of Era Two of Mistborn” concluding the book feels very much like a “To Be Continued...”.
Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every bit of the ride... but the ending leaves many questions unanswered:
Was Autonomy the only Shard interfering in Scadrial´s affairs? Moonlight / Shai´s words made me wonder (“Something is off about all this. A shade too red to be natural.”)
Who drained the Bands of Mourning?
Was Harmony lying to Wayne, Kelsier or both? (about the lerasium)
Will Wax ever realise he became a Mistborn?
Who are the Ghostbloods we didn´t learn about? I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have any members of Scadrian origin besides Kel.
...
I kinda saw Wayne's death coming, since his low health kept being mentioned. How he died, however, left me with mixed feelings. Despite his annoying quirks and his past, Wayne was part of the protagonists since the beginning. He didn't need to die to be a hero.
In The Lost Metal, we see Wayne struggling with self-loathing. We learn that the different personas he adopts are, in a way, a coping mechanism. Towards the end of the book, Wayne entertains the idea of letting go of his self-hate:
Maybe … maybe it was time to bury that corpse. Because rusts, it was feelin’ heavy lately. What would life be like if he weren’t carryin’ that thing? Maybe a part of him was ready, and had been for years. He’d stopped shakin’ when he held a gun. His body was ready to move on. Could his mind allow it?
- The Lost Metal, Chapter 58
In the end, Wayne never gets to find out what a life without self-loathing would be like. Instead, he choses to put his life on the line so that others can live. While this decision is true to Wayne's character, part of me can't help but feel frustrated that Sanderson chose to halt his character development at this particular point.
I believe that Sanderson already knew that Wayne was going to die when he finished the first book of The Wax and Wayne series. In The Alloy of Law Chapter 10, we learn about Wax and Wayne's first meeting and how it took place shortly after Wayne killed a man. In the very same chapter, I stumbled across the following quote:
Was Wayne taking too long? [Marasi] fidgeted, then finally decided to climb the stairwell.
(...) “Wayne?” she said, nervous as she peeked out of the stairwell.
(...) “He is dead, young lady,” an aged, distinguished voice said from the darkness. “I am sorry for your loss.”
Her heart just about stopped.
“Yes,” the voice continued, “he was simply too handsome, too clever, and too immensely remarkable in all aspects of his existence to allow to live.” Someone pushed open a window, letting in light and revealing Wayne’s face. “I’m afraid it took a hundred men to bring him down, and he killed all but one. His last words were, ‘Tell Wax … that he’s a total git … and he still owes me five notes.’”
“Wayne,” she hissed.
- The Alloy of Law, Chapter 10
In retrospect, this feels like blatant foreshadowing.
I don't have as much to say about the other characters´ endings. I'm happy that Wax and Steris get to raise their children together and that more people joined the Steris appreciation bandwagon.
I'm not surprised Marasi didn't join the Ghostbloods (with her law-enforcement background, she didn't really fit the profile). Didn't expect her to go into politics though.

The thing about checking out a series, a game, or something else while you're still into other things is that you may find yourself at a crossroads with your creative thought process.
Right now, I am dealing with keeping up with my A Plague Tale projects because I recently joined the Warrior Nun bandwagon (a bit too late but it's never too late to say #SaveWarriorNun). I am trying to write the next fic for my Magistra series and as of late for Dum Spiro Spero, Shad is the only one with ideas (and I feel awful for it, I'm so sorry). But the truth is, I haven't written anything APT related... because I'm writing for WN.
So what happens? I just fucking thought (and I swear I hate myself for this because I'll never be able to see it through): "how about a WN/APT crossover?" The Warrior Nuns are the Carriers and the Protectors are the Sister Warriors that were supposed to be their coaches, trainers. It's basically the same thing because Carriers and Warrior Nuns alike have the same fate and that's dying so everyone else can live. The OCS can be a more benevolent alchemy Order in a way, the Macula is the Halo perhaps? They're sentient, they have a free will on their own and no one fucking understand how they truly work lmao...
Anyway, right now I'm just gonna grab my clown makeup and get out of here because my brain is wild haywire.
I have freed myself from this... but at what cost? 🤡
#a plague tale#warrior nun#rene soul's ramblings#idk do with this information what you'd like#im just out here putting off writing projects cuz these two fandoms are making me crazy in a good way#if you don't know about A Plague Tale definitely check it out#if you don't know about Warrior Nun definitely check it out#i mean once i finish writing for wn i will be back to my apt fics#with wn i have just a sporadic inspiration so better hang onto that i guess

Another bandwagon I jumped on too late
June 18th, 2009
I have not inflicted my irreverent ramblings onto this page in a while, and I am sorry for that, it is largely due a disease I have come down with called Twilightitis. It is a rare and troublesome problem which tends to target teenage girls and it has many symptoms, the main affliction being the inability to form coherent thoughts which do not relate to the forbidden love between a klutz and a vampire.
But of course I jest, Twilightitis is neither a real or clever made up disease, instead it is a contagious and stupid obsession with a series of books which has effected my life and the lives of other women I know. Sadly these are intelligent women who have read novels with long words and abstract ideas but somehow they can’t help themselves with the coke like substance that it the absolute twaddle of Stephanie Meyer…
Here are some problems I have with this book, which briefly took, over my life. If you have read the series I would like to hear back how it has effected you and your general existance.
(WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS, ONE HARRY POTTER SPOILER AND UNSUBSTANTIATED RANTS)
Everytime I purchased the next instalment (like the day after finishing the first one), I would find myself in a book shop desperately searching for the the M bit of the teenage fiction section. I could never find it or bring myself to ask the staff to point out the direction in which it lived due to deep and burning all consuming shame. I felt so dirty because deep down I knew it was just pages of inane dialogue, repeated descriptions and a plot threaded together with ideas from other superior books with a underlying unsubtle message of “sex is bad before marriage you naughty teenagers.” Yet somehow I was addicted to Bella and Edward’s stupid love..
The whole imprinting thing was a little bit dodgy in places, all these grown werewolf men falling in love with 4 year olds was a bizarre sentiment to write about, seemingly made justifiable because they wouldn’t touch them until they were of age, just act like their over friendly uncle for ten years…. That’s not really better.
I found myself joining the facebook group “Twilight give’s me unrealistic expectations of men,” because none of my boyfriends have saved my life a billion times and bought me cars and got me into dartford whilst being able to fly and that.
The message of complete obsession with someone in your first relationship when you are 18 is maybe not a good one to give out to teenagers, particularly the whole “we can’t be together, suicide it is!” parts.
I thought Bella should have just had sex with Jacob or Mike or all of the other guys that fancied her, they could at least have satisfied her hormonal urges without possibly killing her and she could have spread her wild oats about a tiny bit before deciding to get married at 19….they could have put in a slutty interlude.
I was meant to buy the fact that Edward was a vampire who use to eat people and like a serial killer who knits pictures of kittens, he has the skewed morality to not want to do the naked funky chicken until they were married.
Bella spent most of the novels falling over, wanting to kill herself in place of everyone else and gazing at Edward longingly wondering why he would love someone as plain and boring as her.
I wondered that too.
I Stayed up til four in the morning to get to the sex scene only to discover that in it’s place was a blank space followed by a post-coital waking. In my delirious state I wondered if I had been doing it wrong, or whether he punched her and took advantage.
I just wished Bella would die.
She should really just have died.
In fact they all should have.
Why didn’t the other vampires just tell her to fuck off?
I found myself wondering if Miss Meyer realised that there are only so many times she could describe Edwards perfectly smooth chizzled white chest, and how he traced Bella’s jawline with kisses or ran his fingers through her hair before she may be repeating herself/satisfying herself.
I know there are others who found it good/good instead of good/bad, as I did, but I hope we can all agree the ending was the biggest cop put in the world, with the whole thing building up to a fight to the death and then…. nothing. Everyone goes home. It’s all cool. Not one unnecessary death in the entire thing? Even one of the twins died in Harry Potter? What about Emmet, he did bugger all! Ok, calmed down. Rant ends. I apologize.
p.s
New Moon Trailer!

1, 10 and a wildcard of your choice for the questions pls and thank youuuuu!!! xox
Hey neighbor! I’m just catching up on things, so forgive my lateness. These look like some fun q’s, so I’ll give it a go. Be prepared for some long, rambly answers! 1. What are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?
Fandom: Okay, so I’ve been in fandom for a longggg ass time. I think we’re going on to 19 years soon? I have no idea where I would be without fandom because the person I was before that was unsure, lost and intimidated. Fandom has helped me cultivate so many long-lasting friendships and that was what turned me into a creator. I don’t know how people know this, but I started off as a fic writer before becoming a fan artist. I used to write weekly drabbles, long fic and I did write a BB (44k!) once upon a time. The community I joined then was super wholesome and welcoming. The writing from those days makes cringe like hell now, but I really appreciate what I learned from that time. Then a couple of years later I jumped into making art, and for a while I was writing and drawing at the same time (don’t ask me how I did that while in uni either). I actually made my first HP art pieces while still in school, and I was thinking about pursuing art for uni. I had one piece that was accepted into an art gallery for a HP convention, and that was when I also made my first Drarry piece for a fest. I have not looked back ever since. Since I recharged my batteries and I’m now writing and drawing at the same time again, it’s amazing to see how much has changed and how my styles have matured. Processes have changed, and quality is way more important than quantity. But also, seeing how all of these things have reached other people and brought them joy has been pretty awesome. Art: See above. I am 10000% sure if it wasn’t for fandom, I would not be making art right now. And I know that would be super sad, because art has been part of the reason why I’ve always gotten hired for jobs, even though it’s not the premise of any of the roles I’ve had/have. But it’s the methodology and thinking out of the box that counts. Taking risks and seeing what sticks. That’s what has made me stick out every time I meet new people and I tell them I’m an artist.
Original art (which I do make too) is fun, but fanart has always given me a liberty to play in one or multiple sandboxes and has allowed me to take things to the next level in some crazy ways. I’ve found that it’s almost like journaling or milestoning things and ideas whenever I make something for a fest/event. It’s super different from making art to be sold for online or at conventions. Since I’m part professionally-trained (traditional) and part self-trained (digital) and I’ve been making art for quite some time, I also can’t see myself not making art. That’s just how I express myself...when visuals are easier to portray than words are. Life without would be like be cutting my limbs off. Tea + Tumblr: Okay, so here’s a fun story! I got into loose leaf teas and became a tea blender because of Tumblr back in 2013. Yeahhh. Adagio Teas introduced fandom teas at the time (where you can make your own blend of teas), and since I was using Tumblr to promote my art biz when that was the thing to do, I met some other artists who were making teas and I jumped on the bandwagon. It was such a pleasure meeting some amazing tea blenders (like Cara McGee or Aun-Juli Riddle), because we all were putting so much love in making these dumb teas about characters we loved. We’d illustrate all the labels and figure out tea percentages that suited each person. There’s actually some strategy around this (feel free to ask more if you’d like :P). Sooo, yeah, I’m still making teas to this day. Selling fandom teas somehow became a big foundation that has kept my art biz going. Local cons know me as the tea person, I have regulars who come back for more, and when I do come out with something new, people get really excited about it. I’ve sort of turned tea into an experience for people. And you can probably guess it...mentioning this in job interviews has gotten me some major kudos. :D 10. Would you say you’re an emotional person? YESSSS. 1000000% This doesn’t need a long answer, but I’ve always been a sensitive person since I was a kid (my mom actually had to read books on how to deal with that), and given my answers above, I pull from emotions when it comes to creations, listening to music, and pretty much everything. 6. What’s the best and worst part of being online/a creator?
Best: Ummm, I have to say, seeing people lose their shit about something you’ve had to keep quiet about is kind of fun and amazing. I’ve been participating in anon fests for a long time, and it’s always fun to see people guess who made what. I know that my style for art has changed a lot over the years, and it’s way more obvious whenever my art does get posted (since I have yet to find someone who draws so crosshatchy like I do). I’ll take that as a win though. People will either leave comments of squee, or they’ll reblog the crap out of it (something that wasn’t as easy to do back in the LJ days).
Worst: Imposter syndrome is so realllll. I know we’re our own worst critic, and sometimes, it’s difficult when I have days where I think my work sucks, or I have to ask why I’m making something. I’ve definitely learned over the years that it’s super important to enjoy not just the end result of something but also the process of making it. Because at the end of the day, we should do what makes us happy.
Thanks for the ask! ___ Previously answered: 11 and 17 Want to know more? Ask a q for questions I think would be fun to be asked!
