Regulus Black x OFC

Like, literally a bunch of troupes that I have been trying to use that ended up on the same story, but the main one is Fake Dating as a revenge, so I hope you all like it.

Luna Lupin, Remus' younger sister, wants to get revenge on her secret affair partner, Sirius Black, so she starts pretending to date his stranged younger brother, Regulus Black. And, as nobody saw it coming, they start caring for one another more than they expected when it all started.

Building Self-Confidence

In a recent conversation with a friend, we talked about confidence…or rather, our lack thereof. Confidence is defined as “a feeling or consciousness of one’s powers or of reliance on one’s circumstances.”

As a person who tends to be very sensitive, self-conscious, self-critical, and pessimistic, I constantly struggle with being confident. I take criticisms to heart, even when they are well-meaning, and comparison with other people is especially painful. I wallow in them to the point where I forget that I possess unique, God-given strengths…not just weaknesses. So, how do we develop this “feeling or consciousness of [our] own powers?” Here's how I think we can build our confidence:

1) Embrace Your Uniqueness

- We must realize that God gave us different strengths and weaknesses so that each one of us would have something unique, special, and exciting to give to the world. St. Therese of Lisieux said, “Every flower created by Him is beautiful…the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enamelled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our lord’s living garden.” We are made in a such a way so that in our differences, we can help each other and build each other up.

2) Acknowledge & Celebrate Others

-  Nowadays, we are more likely to compare ourselves with other people, especially when we spend most of our time on social media. One look at a post, and we become jealous of what other people have; we wish we were more creative, more charismatic, more successful, prettier, thinner, etc. Jealousy is not always sinful. It can be spiritually beneficial. I'm talking about the kind of jealousy which stems from an admiration of another person and which effects a desire for a specific quality, characteristic, or good which that person has (i.e. bravery, piety, patience, beauty). This kind of jealousy not only allows us to acknowledge and celebrate other people’s talents, skills, abilities, and strengths, but also to see others as role models; someone to be imitated, thus inspiring self-improvement and magnanimity. However, we must beware that this kind of jealousy does not turn into envy, the other kind of jealousy that is tainted with hatred and resentment. Envy is when we hate or resent someone because they possess a specific quality we don’t have. We relish their misfortune and lament their success. Therefore, we must learn to see other people as God’s gift to us; to acknowledge their own uniqueness; and to celebrate their individuality.

3) Cultivate a Spirit of Gratitude

- Just as a painting is the product of the painter’s thought and imagination, you are the product of God’s own thought and imagination. Who and what you are is how He imagined you to be; it is how He wants you to be; and it is, therefore, God’s gift to you. Be grateful for the way He made you. Thank Him for the talents, skills, abilities, strengths, and physical qualities He has given you. Other people are not blessed with these same gifts. As Fr. Edward McIlmail says, “You probably already have a lot more than most people in the world, if you give it a moment’s thought.”

4) Realize That Not all Criticism is an Attack

- This one is the most difficult for me. It is an ongoing struggle to realize that not everyone will care enough about me to call out my shortcomings. Only those who truly love me and want what's best for me will have the guts to tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve. Sometimes, it becomes even more challenging to accept criticism when it is not being said in a sensitive and tactful manner or in the manner we expect it to be said, but we must consider the fact that people have different personalities, and that they speak and act according to their personalities. While some may be more gentle and sensitive in their criticism, others may be harsh. Some might give constructive criticism while others prefer to be straightforward, but we must learn to focus on their good intentions and look past the tone of voice and body language. We must learn to see criticism as an opportunity for self-reflection and self-improvement.

5) Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

- Once, I heard someone say, “Fear is a paralytic”, and it cannot be more true. Most of the time, fear paralyzes us from doing those things with which we are particularly unfamiliar, but once you try to overcome this fear, once you try to step out of your comfort zone, you will be surprised by the amazing things you can do. You will discover new talents, skills, and abilities you never knew you possessed or of which you never knew you were capable.

FINAL NOTE: Building up our confidence is not an easy feat, nor does it happen overnight. It requires a long and painful process, but if we are rooted in Christ, we can be sure that with his help, we will be confident in Christ!

This blog post is dedicated to my dearest friend, Carmel, and to Kaine for providing me with the inspiration to write this. God bless you all! Stay safe!

Introvert Problem #4  The Wrong Class Debacle

This story is 19 years old, but still haunts me to this day. So, let me share. 

To give a bit of background to the level of horror in this story, let me first tell you about a recurring nightmare I have. Whenever I find myself at a crossroads in life or about to do something that is out of my comfort zone, I tend to have the same fitful night’s sleep marked by a bizarre dream. 

In the dream, I have shown up to my new school with a sheet of paper in my hands showing me precisely what my classes are, where to find them and what time I should be there. But when I arrive at the school, the room numbers don’t make sense, clock keeps ticking and I find myself frantically unable to find any of my classes. The remainder of the dream just an escalation of panic, of imagining myself walking into the class late while all eyes turn to watch me scan the room for a seat. 

Cut back to real life. 

It’s 2000 and I am starting my business degree at university. I find my classroom, I’m early and I locate a seat in the back. Perfect. The class starts to fill and the professor arrives. Just as I am grabbing my Accounting books out of my back, he begins the lecture with, “Welcome to Creative Writing.” 

Fuck. 

I am in the right class at the right time - ON THE WRONG DAY. So, now I am faced with two choices. 

1. Stand up, gather my books and do the walk of shame out of the door, never to see these people again. This is what I assume most reasonable people would do - you are in the wrong class, so just leave! In my mind I am thinking about how stupid I will look if the professor questions why I am leaving. Not to mention the fact that my sudden movement in a quiet classroom will draw attention to me and these classmates will surely watch me leave the class. Of course, this is the moment I will likely trip on a desk or struggle with opening the door. 

2. Stay. Stay and pretend you are part of the class. 

I chose option 2. I sat in the classroom for two hours, even after the roll call revealed I was not meant to be in that class. (Really? My name’s not on the list. That’s weird, haha.) At one point, we went around the room introducing ourselves and explaining to the class why we decided to enroll in a creative writing class. 

I took notes, I wrote down my homework. Then I left and never came back. 

I tell this story often and people are usually amazed by my level of fear in drawing attention to myself. But what they fail to understand is that that situation was my nightmare come true. 

What would you have done?

Donald Trump is killing Meals on Wheels and it's a serious problem

Put impaired veterans, elderly shut-ins and those who cannot leave their homes on the long list of American's that the president doesn't seem to want to support. 

President Trump is — you guessed it — coming under fire again for a newly proposed budget that would completely eliminate federal funding for the Meals on Wheels program. That's a problem.

SEE ALSO: Texas legislator expertly trolls Republicans with bill that would fine men for masturbating

Meals on Wheels provides food to the elderly, poor, disabled, veterans and others who often cannot leave their homes or prepare their own meals. Beyond providing nutritious food for the seniors, the service also supplies those that may lack social interactions with a friendly visit from a volunteer and a safety check to ensure they are okay.

Under Trump's proposed budget, the entirety of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's $3 billion Community Development Block Grant program would be eliminated. These grants fund services for low-income Americans — including grants for Meals on Wheels.

Because Meals on Wheels programs are typically funded by several sources, it's thankfully improbable that that Trump's cuts would end the services altogether, but the number of people the program is able to serve would be greatly reduced.

The obviously problematic proposal has many people up in arms, and they're sounding off on Twitter.

Meals on Wheels is sometimes the ONLY human contact a senior might have...I've seen it with my own eyes.😢😢 This is just horrifying. https://t.co/TzuICEhxzC

#LetThemDie: 'Heartless' Donald Trump Blasted For Killing Meals On Wheels Funds

President Donald Trump is coming under fire for proposing a budget that includes the complete elimination of federal funding for Meals on Wheels programs.

Meals on Wheels provides food to the elderly, poor, veterans, disabled and others who often can’t leave their homes.

However, under the proposed budget, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s entire $3 billion Community Development Block Grant program would be eliminated, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

The grants fund services for low-income Americans ― including grants for Meals on Wheels programs.

Since most Meals on Wheels programs use funding from several sources, it’s unlikely the cuts would end the services. However, they could force many to reduce the number of people they are able to serve.

And many people criticized the proposed cuts on Twitter:
