𝑬𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆... Aquí un poquito más detallada la torta, que fue de chocolate, rellena de manjar blanco y cubierta de buttercream de cobertura. Los muñecos que están arriba de la torta son con estructura interna y hechos en fondant. Los que están pegados a la torta, abajo y el nombre fueron hechos con chocolate para modelar, esto con el fin de que cuando la torta estuviera en refrigeración no se malograran con la humedad, como saben el fondant y el frío de las neveras (refrigeradoras) no se llevan muy bien, aunque les confieso que para esta torta hice la prueba con el fondant que preparo y la verdad es que no le pasó nadita, pero igual no me quise arriesgar y esos que quedarían pegados a la torta mejor los preparé con chocolate. La temática, para variar no la conocía, saben que en materia de video juegos o series estoy desactualizada un poquito, pero me enteré que se llaman Rainbow Friends y que es un video juego si no me equivoco de Roblox. Pero mejor si hay algún entendido de la materia, mejor que me actualice 🤭, por lo pronto disfruten de esta tortita y si les gusta saben que hacer... ❤️ Y por fa' compartan, así otros amantes de video juegos pueden verla 🙂😀. Chauuui hasta la próxima.

My word for today is “LOVE”

You will always thrive in an atmosphere of love.

Hard not to be an ambassador of love, when you were born in a place, to people, who manifested, worked, played, and succeeded in an atmosphere that champions & celebrates LOVE . ❤️

The first motto/ mantra that I lived by was that of my state: “Virginia Is For Lovers”

LOVEworks is a statewide art and marketing project across Virginia that extends the state motto. There are over 300 projects/signs created by businesses and individuals. These signs are beautiful reminders of the love and value of our communities throughout Virginia. ❤️

“Alright class, this is the assignment for next week. Remember, groups of two, I don’t want to see anybody doing this alone as it won’t work!” Your teacher announces before everybody starts packing their things.

Looking around the room you already see pairs being formed, excited to get together and do the assignment. You’re about to turn to one of your friends too until you notice someone in the corner of the classroom awkwardly trying to find a partner so you decide to approach him.

“Hey Shotaro.” His face lightens up at the sight of you. “Who are you doing the assignment with?”

“I…” He looks down letting out a nervous laugh. “Don’t really have a pair yet.”

“Perfect!” You cheer but suddenly stop when his widen eyes shoot up at you. “No, wait! I mean, if you don’t have a partner yet, you could join me.”

“Really?” His body relaxes as a wide smile takes over his face.

“Of course!” You can’t help yourself reaching forward and ruffling his hair. “Today’s not good for me but how about tomorrow after school? We can go to my house, it’s not far. Meet me at the gate!”

You don’t even let him reply as you hurry to the hall where your friends are already waiting. As expected they couldn’t let the opportunity to tease you slide, insisting you were crushing hard on him despite you denying it knowing perfectly well they’re right.

Shotaro transferred to your school in the beginning of the year. New city, new school, new life, the poor boy seemed so lost that you couldn’t help approach him. You showed him around, helped him catch up with classes and got to know the nice guy he is. In no time you two became some what close, you turned into his safe place at this new school and his presence was enough to put a smile on your face. Soon you realised your feelings for him had passed friendship but you didn’t want to risk it in case he didn’t feel the same so you pushed them aside. Of course your friends could see right past you but no one was close enough to ask him what he felt so you just let it go, day by day watching him and fantasising about the two of you together.

The following day, it seemed like the casses were endless as you stare at the clock on the wall impatiently waiting for the bell to ring. But once it finally did, you rush to your locker to get some things before running to the gate.

“I’m sorry!” You pant, dropping your hands to your knees. “Did you wait long?”

“I literally just got here.” Shotaro chuckles.

When you look up, your heart skips a beat as the late afternoon sun shines on his beautiful face decorated with the brightest smile. It’s like the whole world stopped and there’s only him.

“S-Should we go?” He interrupts the awkward silence you didn’t realize took place.

“Oh, of course.” Clearing your throat you smooth down your clothes and lead the way.

Soon the conversation flows and your laughing down the street until you reach your place. You quickly greet your parents and make introductions as you grab Shotaro’s hand and drag him upstairs to your room.

“Sorry about that, they would just start talking and making questions and it would be weird-” You stop when you notice that while you went into the room dropping your bag on the floor, he awkwardly remained at the door. “Are you just going to stand there?”

“W-Well…” He nervously looks around. “I’ve never been in a girls room…”

“Oh, c’mon,” you take his hand again pulling him inside, “it’s just a room.”

Slowly he takes a seat on your desk chair as you sit across from him on your bed and pull out your notebook.

“So, shall we get straight into it?” He almost chokes on his spit at your choice of words.

“W-what?” He manages to ask.

“The experience for the pair assignment?” You raise an eyebrow. “Then if we have time we can handle some other homework.”

“Right.” Scratching the back of his head he giggles. “Yes, let’s do that.”

“Ok, so…” You open your notebook where you wrote down the instructions. “First we need to shape a paper clip into a ‘U’. I think I have some.”

Shotaro watches as you reach into the drawer beside him searching inside. You can feel his eyes on you as you arrange the object, making your heart beat faster.

“Does this look ok?” You hand it up to him and soon regret watching your hand tremble.

“It’s perfect.” He smiles widely at your wonky ‘u’ shaped clip.

“Thanks.” Feeling your cheeks burn you look back down to the instructions. “So one of us needs to be the experimenter and the other one the participant, then we swap.”

“You can do me first if you want.” Your eyes almost jump out your face at his words but he suddenly explains. “I mean, I can be the participant first!”

“Right, yes, of course!” Clearing your throat you put your notebook on the side. “Maybe it’s better if you sit next to me.”

“Ok.” Slowly he gets up and joins you on the bed.

The experiment is simple, you’re going to try to understand in which parts of the body the skin is more sensitive. Shotaro closes his eyes, you’ll touch him with one or the two ends of the paper clip, he tells you on many ends he feels and you write down if he’s correct or not. Six body parts, four touches in each.

Firstly is the shoulder. He rolls up the sleeve of his t’shirt, a scene you have seen many times at the school gym or when you pass by the neighbourhood’s basketball court totally by accident. He gets 3 out of 4, not bad.

Then you move on to his finger. As you do what you have to do you can’t help admire how long and slender they are, beautifully adorned with simples silver rings. Perfect score here.

Next up, his back. He turns around and lifts up his shirt. Resisting the urge to run your hand down his soft skin, you simple proceed with the paper clip touches, making him slightly shiver. Not so good results on this one, he only got half right.

Moving on you almost choke on your spit realising it will be his stomach. Shyly he lifts up his shirt on the front now and you try not to focus on the way he slightly bites his lip. But it’s not better that you have to focus on his baby toned torso. You try to do it as fast as you can as your cheeks burn up and write down the results, similar to his back.

After that you take a deep breath and go up to his forehead. You thought this one would be easier but being so close to his face was making your pulse race. At the first touch he giggles as it tickles his skin and you proceed with the other touches trying not to laugh too. He only got one right in this one.

Finally your eyes widen at the last place: his lips. You stare at them for a few seconds, you don’t know many times you fantasised about feeling them on yours, but quickly you realise it must be getting awkward for him to sit there with his eyes closed waiting. As you’re about to start you understand this will be a hard one to do right, so you softly tug on his chin with your other hand to keep him in place. Trying to ignore the red tone taking over his cheeks you write down the perfect score.

“How did I do?” At last he opens his eyes, blinking as he re-adjusts to the daylight.

“N-not bad.” You mentally curse yourself for stuttering as you show him your notes.

“Well it seems like the lips and the fingers are definitely the most sensitive.” He nods analysing the results. “Let’s see if it’s the same for you.”

“S-Sure.” You hand him the paper clip and close your eyes now.

Shoulder. Luckily you wore a sleeveless shirt so not big deal there, but it did felt weird just to feel the thin tips of the metal on your bare skin.

Finger. The way he holds your hand and carefully pokes the tip just feels so soft and nice that you have to remind yourself this is just a school project, before you mind drifts off.

Back. Since your neckline is a bit low on the back, he suggested that he does the experiment there so you don’t have to lift your shirt, which makes you agree in relief. Still the touches send shivers down your spine.

Stomach. Your heart sinks realising you will have to lift your shirt up after all, but as you’re starting to panic he reminds you the teacher said that could be done over the shirt specially since yours doesn’t seem to be too thick. Honestly you don’t even care if the results are bad on this one as long as you don’t have to take your clothes off like this, specially in front of him.

Forehead. When he starts you understand his reaction from before and you both start giggling, taking deeps breaths to get the four touches done.

Lips. The one you were most nervous for. You can feel his breath on your face and he mimics you by gently grabbing you chin. You mentally count to ten, trying to calm yourself done but nothing seems to happen. You’re about to question it but suddenly you feel it. Although it’s not the thin touch of the paper clip. It’s a pair of soft lips against your own. Your breath gets stuck on your throat as butterflies throw a party inside your stomach.

“Did you feel that?” Shotaro’s voice is quiet, nervously waiting your reply.

“I… Don’t know.” Gulping you come back to your senses, eyes still closed. “M-Maybe you should do it again.”

“Really?” You ear surprise on his voice and give him a nod.

He leans forward again but this time you respond in the romantic soft kiss you’ve been dreaming about for a long time. At that moment it feels natural to be so connected to him. It’s like the whole world is forgotten and it’s just you and him, shinning bright.

“I definitely felt that now.” You two chuckle as he steps back.

Opening your eyes, you stare into each other for a few minutes, comfortable smiles taking over your faces. And then you realise: he felt the same all along. Even in a different school, a different city where he knew no one, he was no longer lonely when he was with you. You became his light, his motive, a reason to be the best version of himself.

You became his home.

Tá é você e agora ?

[sacredquakes]

I hate this victimising narrative, pessimism, complaining about everything and everyone. I hate it so much!! I want friends who can see me and encourage me!! I want friends who see possibility, who know that life is mysterious, who know that people are in your life for a season not a life time, who are curious to do magic and somatics together, who are humble, who are doing the emotional lovework of feeling through things!! I want optimism and hope! I want serenity! I want boundaries! I want magic! I want possibility! I want to live!! I want honesty! I want creativity! I want inspiration! I want to write! I want to feel! I want to be seen!! I want to be heard!! I don’t want to be used as inspiration fodder or idk. I don’t want to be seen as an object or be like… idk… be sensationalised, treated as exceptional or consumed or like a commodity or idk. It’s something else. It’s kind of objectified, seen as completely different. Because that means not really being seen. Not being empathised with, not being understood. And that’s what I realised was the case last night. I was sharing so much about my experience with anger. But like, I don’t think she understands. She was talking about rage and I don’t think rage and anger are the same. But like, she’s listening but she’s not actually taking in, she’s not actually reflecting fully. It’s very superficial, surface-level. Again, I feel like I’m selling out, like I was with Alex as well, trying to share about my intimate experiences in order to get something back. But I’m not getting anything back. Because she’s not able to reflect on that level. She’s able to reflect on the level of ‘this doesn’t work for me, I feel let down/disappointed with/angry with x, y, z or whole community because I want this and no one is able to give me this/I keep getting x’ or on the level of ‘I’m deeply unhappy/depressed/suicidal and I need other things’ but it’s all other people’s fault and I find that super triggering. Because even when I’ve veered on that, I’ve still mostly been blaming myself instead. So yeah, she doesn’t see me at all. And I need to be honest about that. I wanted to think I was being seen, I was connecting, because we have a somewhat shared history and I really fucking need friends and intimacy. But it’s like, a bit like with Q. We did have a really nice time. But the experience after that has proven that there’s a mismatch and that they don’t have enough of what I need. And it’s really fucking sad. It’s hard. It’s really tough. Especially at this time. It’s so tough
