“She’s so sweet she’s always going out of her way to help others” quick someone give that girl all the love and safe space she deserves before being “sweet” (pathological people pleasing as a trauma response) destroys her and leaves behind a bitter empty shell of a person

"He was as noble and fair as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer."

is such an amazing character description. All of it lends to the image of a being who is very stately and aged, but "kind as summer" in particular is incredibly evocative. Even if you generally dislike summer (like me), you can't help but know what it means.

It just conjures up the image and feeling of the softest most beautiful day, golden sunlight, flowers and meadows. Just life. And there is strength in summer. The heat of the sun, and summer is all about vitality and growth.

That short phrase says so much and shows Elrond's character so well. After everything he's been through, he still has so much life and strength.

He manages to show so much softness and kindness to people who come to him and his home for help, and is a person of healing, and the fact that he is able to be so and to remain so kind is his strength.

Help- I don't know what I feel ꒰(˶◞ ‸ ◟˶)꒱ - Journal Prompts

Figuring out your feelings is super important for solving problems. If you just bottle them up, they can turn into actions that hold you back.

So, take a moment to understand what you’re feeling—it can really help you move forward!

Here's some prompts

Which kind of situation have I encountered that make me think twice -> Was there any change recently (mindset etc.)

Where do you feel unsure -> What makes you feel that way

In which ways do I police myself -> is it stricter then with others

How do I feel about others -> do I put them on a pedestal; do I put - - myself down; are they "enemies"

What 3d actions does this feeling provoke is it demontivation, laziness etc.

Which mindset do I have in the situation: do I think about the past, present or future

Does the feeling appear in uncomfortable random situations (could it provoke subconscious fears and negative thoughts)

Access when the feeling feels the strongest is it with people, alone or in special places

Ignoring your emotions can leave you feeling unmotivated and low-energy, making it harder to reach your goals.

Finding out what causes is solving it to 50% because we can bring the subconscious in the conscious and deal with it and bring new abundance in our lives

Through the Storms

We began as fireworks in the night,

Lighting shadows with a dazzling sight.

Each word, sweet honey on the tongue,

Moments cherished, songs unsung.

But as twilight stretched, we lost our way,

Whispers sharpened, turned to fray.

When sparks grew dim, and warmth withdrew,

Lonely winds of silence blew.

Are we ready for the storms ahead,

The stinging rain, the paths we dread?

Love’s no tale of endless cheer,

It’s both the laughter and the tear.

Through deserts vast, forests deep,

We’ll seek the home our hearts would keep.

To touch that distant, sunlit shore,

We face the storm, endure once more.

Insecurity, a silent shade,

Jealousy, a thief well-played.

When joy falters, silence reigns,

Drowning echoes, unvoiced pains.

Promises once carved in gold,

Now crack under the strain they hold.

Yet still I rise, to fight, to mend,

To brave what’s broken, to defend.

Are we ready for the storms to come,

When voices falter, hearts go numb?

Love’s no tale spun from ease,

It’s the tempest and the breeze.

Through barren sands, tangled trees,

We’ll chase our hope, though on our knees.

To reach that paradise unknown,

We face the storm, and face it alone.

Each scar a testament, each tear a verse,

In pain we grow, for better or worse.

When arms entwine, when blame recedes,

We find the strength our story needs.

Let’s sit, let’s speak, and dare to trust,

For love demands, not gold but dust.

If we desire to watch it bloom,

We must brave the storm, clear the gloom.

Are we ready for the storms we fear,

The bitter truths, the falling tear?

Love’s no fable, dressed in light,

It’s the daybreak and the night.

Through paths unknown, we’ll chart our course,

Through doubt, through hope, through pure remorse.

To find the peace, the dream reborn,

We stand together, weather-worn.

Take my hand, through torrents fierce,

Hearts as armor, words to pierce.

Nothing treasured comes with ease,

But it's worth the fight, through storm, through peace.

Are we ready, battle-bound,

For love that bends but stays profound?

Through every high and every low,

This love, our anchor, will only grow.

Metamorphosis

From someone I thought I was in love with to just friends to now almost complete strangers.

You once said that sometimes people grow apart because that's life. And I said that when someone really wants to make things happen, they make a way.

I'm tired of being the only one making an effort. Of being the only one who gives a $h1t about what we had.

It's easy to blame that people grow apart when you are the one pushing people away

So I'm done. I need to heal and live the amazing life that I know it's out there for me. I really hope that you learn how to treat people well before it's too late and you are left all by yourself. I really hope you find someone who makes you see that being vulnerable might bring incredible things that outweigh the risks.

Good luck.

@autisticempathydaemon said they loved my Angel listener (along with everything else it was SO SWEETTT OMLLL<333) so here’s a doodle for you! They’re also one of my favorites!

Look at that face.

Full of mischief.

Some fun facts about them: they’re native! Specifically they could be from the Salishan (but I don’t know too much so I leave it ambiguous) and are half Filipino, born and raised in British Columbia, Canada around Vancouver. They were raised by their mom and brothers, then moving to dahlia for college.

They originally planned to secure a high end job in Vancouver just going to California for school but they met David. They still visit their family as often as they can.

They’re 5’4, the shortest listener! Aklag is still beefy and could definitely throw David over their head. Their callouses are from being raised on a farm, and they’re starting to fade now.

I took them out of another story I made a while ago so I’m still trying to tweak them seamlessly so I’ll actually maybe probably not but make a backstory sheet for my listeners?

Thank you sm for your words and I hope you like it!

I'm at a turning point in my life, a month-long sick leave, many things from the past in the process of assimilation, changes in myself on a deeper, significant level, introspection, psychologist, talking, childhood wounds, attachment issues, not-so-healthy relationships... With that comes a lot of healing, many big emotions that it has moved.

The Tortured Poets Department sounds like what I'm experiencing these times: hard emotions, realizations and just a tiny little bit of growth. 🤍

it’s okay to be angry at the injustice of somebody hurting you.
