I AM WORTHY!

The moment you decide you are worthy. The universe starts to agree.

Sometimes you need to sleep, sleep a lot. Not to escape, but to rest your soul from your feelings. Because everything, absolutely everything devours you. Completely.

in life, and when growing and developing yourself in this case, remember that “no” is as important as “yes.” we always make a lot of resolutions for new year and lists of what we want, but don’t forget to reflect on what you don’t want too

no screen time bigger than 4 hours per day. no neglecting your physical and mental needs. no addictions. no comparing yourself to others. no broken sleep schedule. no unhealthy eating everyday. no overworking. no messy bedroom. no self-isolation. no self-depreciation. no laziness. no toxic relationships. no spending days without stepping outside. no overthinking everything. no overconsumption.

A Life Well Lived

A life well lived is a precious gift Of hope and strength and grace, From someone who has made our world A brighter, better place It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad With smiles and sometimes tears, With friendships formed and good times shared And laughter through the years. A life well lived is a legacy Of joy and pride and pleasure, A living, lasting memory Our grateful hearts will treasure. by Anonymous

I dont know who needs to read this but this platform is full of vultures.𓅐 If you are honest, open, and a normal human with a sensitive and honest profile, those vultures will come after you. If you play their game for a while you will probably find yourself crying in the shower...Sleepless nights...feeling emberassed...sad etc...like.. nothing hurts more than trying your absolute best and still not being good enough. Let me tell you...It's not you... It's actually the dark hole they have in their chest. They are miserable and love the chase and having xyz options...you are good enough...you always have been....🫶🏻

The Predator’s Size Reveal: My WTF Moment as a Kid

When My Kid Brain Realized the Yautja Is a Walking, Hulking “Holy S--t!”

Alright, let me set the stage for you. I was just a kid when I first watched Predator, sitting way too close to the TV, probably eating something I wasn’t supposed to. The movie had me hooked from the jump: explosions, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura chewing scenery (and probably tobacco), and this mysterious alien stalking them like it had beef with their entire gene pool.

But then the climax hit. And I saw it. The Predator. The full Predator. And let me tell you, my brain short-circuited.

My Reaction: “WAIT. HOLD UP. THIS THING IS HOW BIG?!”

1. They Didn’t Warn Me About This

For most of the movie, the Predator was just... there.

It was cloaked, hiding in trees, making creepy-ass clicking noises. You didn’t think about its size because it didn’t need size. It was scary enough as a shadow.

Every time it killed someone, it was quick and surgical. Boom—someone’s gone. No need for brute force.

And then, just when I thought I had the Predator figured out, it dropped its weapons, took off its mask, and stood up. And all I could say was, “WTF.”

2. The WTF Realization

You know that feeling when something goes from scary to “oh, we’re all doomed”? That was me.

The Cloaking Lies: This thing had been sneaking around the jungle like a ghost, and suddenly it’s towering over Arnold like a damn tree.

Arnold Looks Tiny: Let’s be real—when you make Arnold Schwarzenegger look small, you’re not just big. You’re stupid big.

The Mask Drop: I was already freaked out by the size, but then the Predator’s face entered the chat, and I was done. Those mandibles? That growl? NOPE.

WTF?: “How the hell did this thing fit in the trees? Was it doing yoga up there?”

3. Why It Was So Effective

Even now, as a grown adult with bills and existential crises, that size reveal still sticks with me. Why? Because the movie played me like a fiddle.

It Hid the Truth: For 90% of the movie, the Predator is more of an idea than a physical thing. It’s all about fear, stealth, and mystery.

The Payoff Was Huge (Literally): By holding back its size until the end, the movie made the reveal hit like a brick to the face.

4. My Inner Monologue: A Play-by-Play

Watching that final battle felt like running through the stages of grief—but with extra WTF energy.

Denial: “Nah, it’s not that big. The angle’s just weird.”

Anger: “WHY DIDN’T THEY WARN US ABOUT THIS?!”

Bargaining: “Maybe Arnold can still win, right? Right?!”

Acceptance: “Okay, we’re all screwed.”

Kid Thought: This thing could bench-press Arnold and the entire squad without breaking a sweat. And here I was, barely able to carry my school backpack.

5. The Real WTF Moment

Here’s the part that really messed me up:

The Predator wasn’t just a brute. It was smart. Like, scary smart.

It dropped its weapons and went hand-to-hand with Arnold, as if to say, “I don’t just kill—I dominate.”

Kid Logic: “Wait, so it’s huge and it knows kung fu? Who signed me up for this nightmare?!”

6. Why This Moment Stuck With Me

Years later, I’ve watched a lot of monster movies, but Predator still holds up. And it’s not just because of the size reveal—it’s because of the way it’s delivered.

The Build-Up: You spend the whole movie fearing what you can’t see.

The Payoff: When you finally see it, it’s bigger, badder, and more terrifying than you imagined.

I Wasn’t Ready

Let me be clear: when I watched Predator for the first time, I wasn’t ready. The Yautja’s size, its intelligence, and that final showdown completely blindsided me. And even now, every time I rewatch it, I feel like that same kid, sitting too close to the TV, whispering, “WTF.”

So, if you’ve ever felt the same way—like the Predator just punked you with its sheer size and power—you’re not alone. It’s not just a movie moment. It’s a WTF moment.

[disciplinedselfrya]

I've been on this "self improvement" journey for so long that I can watch thousands of shorts and motivational videos about "you're wasting your potential" "your future you will thank you later" "success requires discipline" and stay in bed without feeling like moving a finger. I can read one self-improvement book and wake up like nothing happened. But then since 2025 started I have been so committed to my goals and stayed disciplined no matter how hard it's been. I've been getting back on track again and again - without giving up. I've been exercising sometimes and reading and working even when all I wanted was to scroll or watch YT. And this has NEVER happened to me before. What is different this year? Nothing. What keeps me moving? The fear that if I give up on myself one more time I won't start again. The fear that if I give up on myself one more time I could lose myself. The thought that if I fall and lose myself there will be no one there to pick me up. It's not motivation, not even discipline. It's fear. And what I fear is not failure. It's losing myself and not being able to pick up the pieces. Rya p.s.: everytime I write one post I feel like I'm slowly destroying the English language. So yeah, if there are any mistakes, be kind and pretend you didn't see anything <3

Change is a part of life that we all experience. As we grow; we often adjust ourselves to fit in with others, sometimes losing sight of who we truly are. This constant adaptation can lead to feelings of exhaustion and confusion.

When we focus too much on pleasing others, we may sacrifice our own identity. In the end it is important to remember that staying true to ourselves is essential for our well—being and happiness.
