Pile l:

Song: Wishes by Diplo ft Trippie Redd (Intuitive Play) Tea Tree Oracle Cards: Family Wishes Come True, A Marriage will take place either romantic or business, Short Journey, PArting ways in either romance or business, Recognition reward for merit, Announcement, Keep your life in Balance.

Messages: Everything is a Reflection Hold Up the Energetic Mirror & Trust Your Faith. Dive into the Unfolding Journey.

Intuitive Messages: There are several Messages, take what resonates and leave what does not. What are you placing on hold pile l. What has been calling for your soul to do that you have yet to take action whether due to procrastination or out of fear. Why aren't you doing it? Look inside yourself and ask where does this fear come from and why am I allowing it to dictate the life that I am living when I know I deserve more. Are you so comfortable with living a life you hate that going after your dreams is more uncomfortable than living without the things you want and deserve? Ask yourself these questions and trust things will work out. Others of you why are you all work and no play? Why are you afraid to take a break as if you get off the grinding train you will fall immediately down to the bottom? Why do you believe this is true for you? Go outside and play, pick up a video game, or read a book for several hours, what is yours will never bypass you, trust. You will get to where you want to be in no time. But you can't reach that goal if you aren't taking care of yourself and running off on E. Lastly, What trauma have you been avoiding that you need to be healing? You are tired of people with the same personality just different meat suit coming into your life but you are not healing the wounds that are causing these people to trigger you. Heal, baby. You deserve to live a life without always feeling triggered or even better a life filled with people who want to give you genuine love and for you to trust they want to only love you without anything in return. So now I ask you what do you need to get rid of in order to invite this new energy of love in and are you willing to do it?

Pile ll:

Song: Christmas Kids by ROAR (Remix: Slō, Twilight, Tizzy-Spotify Shuffle)

Tea Tree Oracle Cards: Temporary Situation, New Creative Ideas New Ventures A Fresh Start, Pleasure from a close friend, Someone will try to make you do something against your will, climbing towards success, Happiness, A goal-oriented person, opportunity or windfall.

Messages: Express yourself creatively. Start something new. & You are the image maker. What you focus on manifests.

Intuitive Messages: Several messages like Pile l take what resonates and leave what does not. Some of you are in a situation that isn't healthy, safe, or possible while not toxic is draining you mentally, emotionally, and maybe even physically. You may or may not believe in the law of attraction but if you are spiritual and believe in such things ask yourself how can I change this situation? How can I manifest a better ending for myself? Pray to your spirit team if you are unsure they want to help you but you need to be willing and open to help. See the light at the end of the tunnel as your oracle cad says this situation is temporary but you need to buckle your shoe straps and be prepared to be optimistic see the light and go full speed running towards it instead of letting the darkness take over your life. You are a ray of sunshine and whatever situation you may be in sees that and wants to keep you hidden just like your chosen song from Spotify about a couple who are in a toxic chaotic relationship. Others of you go for a walk. When I say walk I mean don't have anything on your mind just be present during your walk. Look at the trees notice the small things around you that you may not have noticed before and let whatever ideas and downloads come to you, come to you, and act on those ideas. There is something that is meant to find you that is an idea that will bring you a rainfall of abundance and change your life around for the better but you must act and be open to receiving this idea and not judge yourself. Release imposter syndrome. Remember that if you weren't capable of doing the idea or whatever this is you wouldn't have received the opportunity. Lastly, why are you listening to sheep who follow other sheep and not from if not yourself from those who lead their own path and walk their talk. "I'll be damned if I listen to facts up out the mouth of a man with an unwashed ass" is what I am hearing." You are not meant to be a follower but a leader. Stop following or listening to people who lead their own lives off of cliffs with no parachutes or care as to how and if they will land.

Pile lll:

Song: Gone or Staying by Sleep Theory (Spotify Shuffle)

Tea Tree Oracle Messages: You will receive a gift, Reconciliation, Beware of great pride, Hard work ahead, Unsuccessful outcome to a problem, Increase your efforts if you want to achieve your goals, Spiritual guidance and protection from harm, Happiness, An emotionally secure loving family is important to you, & unsuccessful plans.

Message: Your Purpose is personal expansion.

Intuitive Messages: This is my love pile that again has several messages so take what resonates and leave what does not. Some of you are single but go back and forth between wanting a relationship and "I'm an independent person and I don't need no person" and I want to laugh a bit because I am also in that stage but deep down I know I want that can't eat can't sleep kind of love. The reassuring love, the love where I know I don't have to worry about my partner even entertaining other people, and better my love being reciprocated x10 and until then anybody can stay away. I get it but sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and do the work to invite this kind of energy in. It can be scary but it's definitely worth it. The number of times I have seen a person glowing not just physically but in their personal life as well is just unreal sometimes to me that I know it's truly worth it. Now for others who are in the talking stages or even in a relationship, it's okay to let your partner help you. It's okay to lean on others and when I mean it's okay I mean people you truly can trust. If you aren't sure about that then you may not have anyone in your life that you trust but if you do there are signs such as do they throw information or things they do for you back in your face, when you call them are they there, if you had to give any of your friends keys could you trust them to not use it for personal gains if the answer is no to all of them find a better community but if you answered yes to these trust that you are in good hands. Stop being Hercules all the time and give people at least some form of entry into your life instead of always hovering over them waiting for them to fuck up and going see I knew it, out the door. Stop..stop it. People can't show you they mean well if you don't allow them to show up. Lastly for those who are in a relationship, someone is coming back into your life but I need you to ask yourself the important questions before you allow them back in again. Are they coming back into your life to see if you are still stupid for allowing them back in or is this a relationship that is healthy overall but has their issues and that person has worked on themselves to help better the relationship? If you don't know this answer ask yourself did this person make you feel loved not have good memories that were occasional but did you feel loved, did they shower you with compliments, gifts, their time, and reciprocate the energy you gave them...if the answer is no please continue staying single. They are coming back to see if you are still stupid enough to let them in again. Release your codependency from this person and find someone who values you, your efforts, and your time. For others of you while things will go great this time around it isn't without hard work from both ends.

Pile lV:

Song: Moscow Mule by Bad Bunny (Spotify Shuffle) / The Kings Affirmation by Iniko (Intuitive Play)

Tee Tree Oracle Messages: May, September, Family wishes come true, Major challenges to overcome, Advice from a friend, Work achievement success, wish will not be granted, celebration fun enjoyment, take care or there will be a loss of material wealth, someone is working against you behind your back, you should accept valid criticism, a goal-oriented person, dealings with or relationship with a woman, Things will not always be this way a change is coming, Someone will try and make you do something against your will.

Message: Eliminate Distractions. Stop shining a light on things you are not. & Don't run from the darkness. Embrace your shadow side.

Intuitive Messages: l Why are you self-sabotaging? Why do you not want to accept great things can happen to you in this lifetime? What is causing you to be afraid that you are willing to throw away everything you are working on or have worked on to settle for less than? Are you okay with mediocrity if so stop what you are doing and continue down the path of self-sabotage? You are meant for greatness, allow it to happen for you? Stop allowing distractions to stray you from the path. It's okay to have enjoyment but if that enjoyment is causing you to have thoughts that are not your own or even cause you to waste time putting off things that you are supposed to be doing remember that instant gratification is great until you realize 10 years from now you are still getting fake dopamine off of instant gratification of scrolling or seeking things that are quick get rich schemes that never work. Be mindful of what you give your mind to. Be careful of the things you watch on television, the music you listen to, and even the people you follow. These are all things that you somehow correlate with. If they are not somehow speaking positive energy into your life or at least giving you joy or motivation release it. This goes for people as well in your life. Others of you are running away from your problems. As soon as you feel that things are getting tough you stop and then talk yourself into negative talk about how that wasn't meant for you or whatever it is that you tell yourself when things get too hard. Stop. You are extraordinary. You know this, I know this, your loved ones know this even your potential haters know this. Stop being afraid of the person you can become and are. Embrace the hard things. Embrace everything that feels uncomfortable. How are you going to grow as a person if you keep running away from things that are meant to help elevate you as a person? You may be the type of person who watches YouTube videos where the person gets up at 5am, the gym, journals, etc etc and you keep going through the cycle of restarting your life and quitting when you miss a day or two and then go well there is always next year...why next year pile lV, why not now. Now is the time. Not 2025. not 2026, but now. If you are wanting to lose weight or whatever it is imagine it being September you could have already lost 30lbs by then instead of finally getting the nerve to do it in September. Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock says it best "You have two options either day on or one day." "Everything you want to do is going to be hard you just have to choose your hard. Staying in your situation that is hard or achieving what you want that is going to be hard. Choose your hard" You can't sit in a victim mentality when you are your own villain.

BEOMGYU: “We’re a team, so I want to work together to make it happen”

TOMORROW X TOGETHER The Name Chapter: FREEFALL comeback interview

2023.10.27

Eight months earlier, BEOMGYU told us he didn’t want to lose to himself. Now he says he’s found a way to persevere.

You mentioned you were very happy and healthy throughout the second tour.

BEOMGYU: I didn’t get bogged down by the fear of what happened that one time. I was determined to overcome it. I did plenty of preparing physically and mentally in order to avoid a repeat of last time and handled everything well. I envied the other members of the group during the last tour and was sad that I couldn’t fully enjoy the concert experience due to my physical condition. I put all my worries aside this time and just focused on performing and I was a lot happier.

Have you mastered how to handle yourself in the face of extremes and how to overcome them?

BEOMGYU: Even though it was tough, things still worked out in the end, so I thought, Everything’s fine—it’s not like I’m going to die. (laughs) I kept experimenting by trying different things to check if I still felt my best after. I tried not eating before concerts, drinking energy drinks some days, taking arginine on other days. In the end, I found it’s always best to eat and having one multivitamin is enough to give me energy without putting a strain on my body. It’s like I found my own personal winning formula. (laughs)

Have the positive emotions you experienced during the tour carried over to have an effect on your everyday life? You mentioned in a previous interview that you felt like you had attained spiritual enlightenment. (laughs)

BEOMGYU: I mean, I’m happy. (laughs) Not a lot has changed, but while I felt like I was in a sort of state of nirvana back then, now I feel like I’m taking care of what I have to do every single day and accepting things for what they are—just going with the flow. These days I keep thinking, even if I don’t understand something, it’ll all turn out okay in the end if I just go with the flow. At the end of the day, I’ll just go home and get some sleep. All things shall pass. And then I feel fine. There’s no reason to get all worked up about things and let them get to me.

I guess that’s what you meant when you said that—“all things shall pass”—during the tour, which turned out to be like a catchphrase for you.

BEOMGYU: Exactly. But I was trying to make myself believe that before and pushing myself, whereas now it’s how I really feel.

It seems like you’re continuing to live the life of an artist as you overcome those things that you feel you just aren’t naturally compatible with.

BEOMGYU: I was absolutely born for the stage, though. No matter how nervous I get, I always have a phenomenal time once I get on up there. But what I found emotionally draining once we got on tour was that every place in the world has different views and I had to learn to adjust quickly to those. That was a difficult process. Not to mention I became a lot more introverted after we debuted, so I found it really hard communicating with all those people while promoting internationally. The pressure from that kept weighing on me while we were touring. But we did similar promotions recently and I went out of my way this time to go up to people more and reacted to things in over-the-top ways despite my terrible English. (laughs) But it was pretty good. I think I’ve learned some ways to overcome things.

Have you also changed the way you recover and distribute your energy now that you’ve been to so many different environments?

BEOMGYU: That part’s still the same. I get in, drink some barley tea (laughs) and fall asleep watching Netflix. I’m the type to pour 100% of my energy into everything I do. I try to be as energetic as possible whether I’m on a variety show or performing on stage, so my batteries are always going from 100, down to 0, back to 100, to 0, and on and on. (laughs)

And the stages you performed on keep changing, too. There's something new to grasp and adjust to every time, so you must have to be hyper focused.

BEOMGYU: Interestingly, if you perform 30 times, you’d think it would be easier by the 30th time. But if you keep doing the same thing over and over? Then you actually start to mix things up. I don’t know if it has something to do with complacency, but I make mistakes more frequently as time goes on. So the more you go on, the more you have to really focus on each performance. The idea is to never mess up the parts that have changed or I’ve messed up once before, ever again.

It’s amazing how you took the most impressive moves in “Back for More” and made them that much better by putting your own spin on them.

BEOMGYU: I think I mentioned before that, when I first hear a song and see the choreography demo, I can picture things, like how to convey certain parts, or maybe if it would look cool if I looked away like this. It can be a little hard to explain because it’s all in my head. I thought a lot about the part in the chorus after the second verse where we jump up and whip our hands in particular to figure out how to make it look cooler.

And were you satisfied with what you landed on?

BEOMGYU: Yes! But I always end up liking what I do. (laughs) I’m really proud of it. (laughs)

You said before that you watched your old dance videos to prepare for the tour and that you found a lot of parts that weren’t up to your standards. Do you feel you improved while learning the single “Chasing That Feeling”?

BEOMGYU: I used to be obsessed with putting the maximum amount of energy into my dance moves. Then I got some messages from friends after the year-end awards shows, saying, “You were too intense. You should tone it down a bit.” I thought the best thing for those big performances was to put more and more energy into them, but lately I’m trying to dance in a more balanced and elegant way. The choreography for the new single isn’t that intensive, so I picked it up really quickly, but I know I have to practice how to express myself in a greater variety of ways. I always feel like, if I perform something live once, it’s a lot different from when I’m practicing to get the hang of it. I think it all becomes clear after performing it.

You struggled a bit singing the last album’s single because of the pronunciation. Did you face any similar challenges this time around?

BEOMGYU: There’s a line in the verse—“cheonguk-eul deungjin nan”—and to make that eu sound in the syllable deung, you have to narrow the inside of your mouth. I tried singing it 10 times, and missed the mark 10 times. But then, I once again attained enlightenment. (laughs) Now when I sing it, my voice never cracks. I figured out how to shape my mouth to pronounce it correctly and persevered. I wasn’t originally supposed to be the one to sing that part, but as soon as I heard the song, I said, “I have to be the one to do this! Can I? Please, just trust me. Give me a chance. I’ll make it work.” And I got the part. So I studied the part carefully to make sure I could get it done no matter what.

Songs that align with your vibe, like “Deep Down” and “Skipping Stones,” really bring out what makes your voice so alluring.

BEOMGYU: I’m especially fond of “Skipping Stones,” and most of the other songs off the album are all in genres and styles I like, so it was really fun to record the vocals. Sometimes I’ve done things where I thought, This doesn’t really let me show off my vocals, but I think the new album let me sing in a way that’s closest to my natural voice.

Are there also songs you helped write the lyrics to that you find easier to get into since they’re in your style?

BEOMGYU: The songs I find the easiest to get into are those where the emotions are most realistic and I can be honest about my feelings. For example, thanks to my own personal experiences, I can take on topics like liking someone or dealing with difficult emotions and add my own personal touch to them. But songs that are like The Star Seekers are written to conform perfectly to a theme. Was that a really T thing to say? (laughs) To be honest, I feel like I’ve already said everything I have to say about seeking stars, going through hardship, and growing up on repeat. (laughs) But I really liked writing “Blue Spring” since it’s truly about us.

You also produced that song. How did that go?

BEOMGYU: I pictured people singing along to it right from the outset, so I purposely gave it simple chords when starting out. There’s three or so songs I made while just playing around on guitar at home. We spent hours poring over chords in the studio, too, but I ultimately chose the track I made at home. “Maze in the Mirror” and “Blue Spring” are both about how I felt before and after knowing MOA. As you know, we went through a lot of hardship, and now we’re out there singing for all of them. I remember how hard those chilly blue days were, but I also know how happy I am now, so the song really tugs at my heartstrings. I have to hold back my tears whenever we sing the line, “No one knows about that winter,” in concert.

You’ve seen MOA as your best friend for a long time now, but when I watch your most recent Weverse Lives, I get the feeling that you want to have an emotionally closer relationship with them based on how you keep your streams laid-back.

BEOMGYU: I think it’s better to be natural and keep it real when I do Lives by myself than to be TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s very own BEOMGYU. Sometimes I just, you know, put my phone down next to me with music playing like a radio or something, lie down, and start talking. All I want from my relationship with MOA is to have honest, human conversations—not artist-to-fan conversations, but casual, natural conversations.

It's a dead giveaway that you’re looking to have a genuine relationship with them when you let MOA listen in on your phone conversation with your mom in the middle of a Live. (laughs)

BEOMGYU: I want to show them how I really live. (laughs) I can show MOA the kind of chemistry I have with other people. I’m always quick to call my mom when the other members pull a “Tallulah” on me. I don’t like that my mom doesn’t take my side, but I know she’s just having fun. (laughs)

TAEHYUN once said you have a knack where “he can talk and everyone would not find him annoying.” It seems to me like you already know the others will still find you cute no matter what kind of annoying jokes you play.

BEOMGYU: I’m good at walking that tightrope. (laughs) I was born with it. (laughs) I’m always messing around with SOOBIN, too, but if I think he’s being serious, I back off right away. I can usually tell how someone’s feeling just by the look in their eyes, so I intuitively keep my balance while walking that tightrope. (laughs)

What are you like when you’re with your family? It seems like your dad really means a lot to you, seeing as, when you were asked if you could live as someone else for a day, who would it be, you answered, “my dad.”

BEOMGYU: I’m better behaved when I’m with my family, and I like chatting with my mom and dad. We can talk for hours when we talk about the things they want to know about me, things I want to know about them—that kind of stuff. Like I always say, if I ever become a dad, I want to be just like mine. He’s considerate, and he and my mom are still like a new couple. They’re so cool. I even told that to my dad recently and he said, “Thank you for being my son and for growing up into a wonderful young man.” We still say “I love you” to each other. Our family’s full of love. (laughs)

I remember you said that you kept looking for MOA and their dads watching your concerts together.

BEOMGYU: Most likely those dads were there because their daughters or sons like us and they tagged along. I thought it was really cool that they were right there with them having a good time. I spent a lot of time with my dad when I was younger, too. One time I woke up at three in the morning and went all the way out to Taebaek with him to watch motor racing, and we would play soccer or baseball together before school. It’s experiences like that that let me know how good those memories are going to be for MOA when they look back on them someday.

You’ve said the other members of the group are like a second family to you. It was especially touching when you were nervous before going on stage and you said, “When I’m with the other members, I’m not worried.”

BEOMGYU: I was actually three times as nervous for our performance at the MTV Video Music Awards than any other concert. My heart wasn’t going ba-bum, ba-bum—it was going babumbabumbabumbabum. But right before we got on stage, we put our hands all together and yelled, “Fighting!” And then we hugged each other. That really brought me comfort. The other members are the only ones I can lean on whenever I find myself in that kind of unfamiliar, difficult environment. When I see one of them having a hard time, I feel like I should put my own problems aside for a while and work harder for their sake. And I think that’s all possible because we’re a family.

Is that also why you decided to work together to reach the very top, like YEONJUN and TAEHYUN talked about on SUCHWITA?

BEOMGYU: I had a really hard time during and after our first world tour, and I was certain that, unless I’m healthy, there would be no point in making it to the top. I was firm about that. So if I’m being honest, I felt pressure because of YEONJUN and TAEHYUN’s vision. I’m the kind of person who strives for happiness in his everyday life, but they said they feel like making it to the top is what would make them feel happy. What could I do? We’re a team, after all. We work together for the sake of each other’s happiness. I thought it over and said, We’re a team, so I want to work together to make it happen. If that’s what everyone wants, I’ll work hard alongside you. Let’s put in the effort and make it to the top.

That makes me think of how you made a point to say you like movies to have a happy ending no matter what.

BEOMGYU: I don’t like when they’re left open-ended, and I can’t stand sad endings. I get completely absorbed in the plot of movies and all the emotions there when I watch them, so it feels like I am the main character. I root for that character with all I’ve got and hope they’re happy ever after.

And you see the happy ending you wished for in your future, don’t you?

BEOMGYU: It certainly feels like I’m moving towards it. (laughs)

[jimin-of-mine]

i have another question, i'm sorry for spamming your inbox so often but how do you fully trust your intuition? especially when it came to those boys? and not feel anxious about it at all, so did you feel some sort of peace when you found out you're connected to them?

one weird thing that's been happening to me too is i've been extremely sluggish as well and having these strange dreams of a member, won't say who just yet. i don't know what to make sense of it either.

My messages are open for you, if at any point you would rather a more private space for you to speak- I just want to put that out there.

I fully understand that you feel safer being anonymous though, so you can choose to continue- but just in case, I thought I would also give you that option as well.

Anonymous or not, the kpop community is fucking terrifying and after eight years of being here- it took me a long time to be able to properly get to where I am now.

I probably appear to be fearless, but they still terrify me and I've had multiple stalkers due to the amount of accounts I have had online over all of this time.

It's taken me years to be able to get to where I am now and they still scare the hell out of me- which they should and I hope I never get rid of that fear- because these people can be very dangerous and I never want to get too 'comfy' and put myself in a position that could be life-threatening.

Even more so, when I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for everything I'll have to put up with- once I cross paths- face to face with the guys. I feel sick to my stomach when I think of how much I'll need to endure, but it'll be worth it.

----

It's different for everyone and it's taken me eight years to be this confident and not anxious about anything anymore.

I would like to point out that accepting you're a twin flame is a really intense and emotional endeavor, because you are infused with this other person/people and there's A LOT of things that come with this territory. Putting it plainly, it's like being on a non-stop rollercoaster- while playing tug-of-war on it.

Twin flames are simple, yet also very complex for some people who are not familiar with what they are- so more often than not, they'll get confused. It can be hard to wrap your head around if you look it up online, since most people romanticize the connection.

For two years, I was in extreme denial and I was forced to get rid of all of my conditioning beliefs and to start over fresh after purging my entire life technically.

Think of it as when the caterpillar has to wrap itself in a cocoon in order to transform into a beautiful moth or butterfly.

There's a lot that little one needs to do, in order to emerge and be the best version of itself and it's not easy to do.

I always say that soul mates are easier than twin flames in a sense, because you don't get the intensity that you do with twins. It will be hell, for however long it takes you to properly surrender to it and stop 'chasing' your other half/halves and you will constantly be on that rollercoaster.

Everyone's journey will be different though and I feel like mine took longer, since I grew up in a very strict religion. It was more difficult for me to just get rid of my conditioning beliefs and it wasn't until 2016 that I knew I was even allowed to have my own beliefs.

So 2016 triggered a lot for me...

Twin flames will make you question your entire existence basically- in the beginning and you will be in a lot of pain for some time- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

-----

I used to be very anxious and I doubted my connection with him constantly- before Jimin released his album MUSE, because I wasn't sure about a lot of things still.

After so long, I was waiting for for a sign from him specifically, anything at all that could tell me I wasn't 'crazy' and just projecting something onto him.

Obviously I wasn't and all of my experiences over the years proved that- but thinking back now, I feel like it was only natural of me to want something like that from him.

Getting so many signs and synchronizations, while he was visiting me in the astral realm and even tons of past life stuff (don't even get me started on past lives...)- but nothing that was manifesting in the here and now. If that makes sense?

Then he comes across very aggressively with this album and I was blown away by the entire thing.

Three songs stood out the most to me and I still can't finish them without getting extremely emotional.

He says the things that I was waiting to hear and it spoke to me on SUCH a deep level, that I was sobbing like a child and I have never had such a reaction to his music before.

I guess it just made all of my doubts disappear, because I finally had the validation and the confirmation I needed from him.

I wasn't projecting and it wasn't 'all in my head' ~

I thought it was one sided all of this time and I figured I was destined to just live out my life being a person who wasn't meant to truly cross paths with him in the 3D (The here and now) world.

------

Dreams?

If you don't feel comfortable sharing, that's alright- but they could be visiting you in the astral realm or you could be having dreams of a past life.

Both can make you feel relatively sluggish- they can also make you feel really dazed and 'out of it'. Like you're here, but you're not here at the same time. Exhaustion can be another factor as well, along with chronic pain.

Past life memories- depending on what they are, can also affect you in other physical ways as well.

I'll give you the personal example I have from one of my own.

Last year, I was very caught up in working through one of mine, and I would often feel like my legs were literally on fire and I would feel the pain as real as if it was happening again.

Of course, it was entirely psychological, but still- it was VERY real for me.

This is why I try and tell people to take it slow with past lives and to not try to do any strange kind of regression therapy or anything, because anything you have read in books or what not- has been romanticized and it's not always as lovely as they try to make it out to be.

You don't get to choose what you remember ~

Most days I wish I never woke up from sepsis. I know I want a life with my beautiful girlfriend, I don't want to leave my sweet dog alone, I don't want to abandon my sister, but I already have.

I sleep 18 hours a go. I can't stand to walk across the room - I rot in bed all day. I am too weak to contribute to housework - everything must be done for me. I can't care for my dog - she has mats in her fur. I am alone for all day - save for 2 hours when my beloved is preparing for work, and a half-hour phone call on lunch. I cannot go to my parents - they do not want me there.

I am a shell. All I do is be on my phone and try to feel something other than fatigue and pain, but that is all that is there. I want to go home, but I do not have a place to go.

The most guilt lies in my sweet girlfriend, as she has done her best. She works 6 days a week, pushing 80 hours a week, 12 hour shifts, at night. She is working so hard to take care of me, and I wish she didn't have to. I don't want her to. Her coworkers are mocking her, saying, "I enjoy my time off." So does my darling, but there is no off time when she is around me. There is no stop. While she is awake, I need help doing the most basic tasks. While she is asleep, I wake her up for having fallen once again, and need tending to. While we are both asleep, she has to wake up to care for the world's best cat and dog, as I cannot wake up, with alarms, with them crying, with me fighting to open my eyes, with me begging myself to stay awake, with me trying to slap myself awake.

If anyone says, "mind over matter," I wish this upon you. I wish you to lose all your dreams that were in your hands and to be forced to watch them fall through your fingers. Academically, professionally, physically, relationally, creatively, spiritually, emotionally, worldly, mentally, aesthetically, philosophically, and everything else I could possibly be missing, I wish it all to go away for you, for you to loose it all, and then to miraculously recover, and have to start over from nothing. I'm not cruel enough to make you like me forever, but realistic enough to know that empathy will never be there for a person who tells the suffering, "mind over matter" when describing their pain, until they have been there for themselves.

To those who are surprised, that I would include the previous paragraph, or that anyone would say that, I wish you to never have to live with fangs barred and claws out like this. That the people who love you now still love you at your worst. Your real worst. The time-consuming, self-sacrificing, expensive, confusing, red-tape-ladened worst that loving someone who has suddenly become disabled can be.

To everything I have lost I want to say I miss you and mourn what could have been every day. To the people who I lost, I hope you're alright. To those who left me, I wish I hated you, but I hate myself for understanding why you did what you did. I don't want you back. You made your bed long ago.

I love my girlfriend, my dog, my sister, and others who aren't mentioned here. I hate that I am a burden. I hate that I cannot give back to them. I hate that I am alone. I hate that I am so, so tired and nothing fixes it. I want to go home. I keep saying that, knowing I have no where to go to. Is it the town my grandma is from, an ocean away? Is it someplace I have never heard of? Is it somewhere I've already been? Would a home fix me? Would it break me irreparably if I found home and still felt this way? If I found home and everything else stayed the same?

I don't want the answer tonight.

Tonight, I wish my girlfriend wasn't working overtime. I wish I could keep my insurance that keeps me alive and make her my wife. She wants my last name. I wish I could crawl into her arms and fall asleep there.

Forever

So You Want to be Masc, Where do You Start??

First things first, you have to go out and buy as much baggy jeans and flannel shirts as possible…SIKE!! Let me be the first to say, that being masc is not something you rush into, masc is something you become. The first step is genuinely making a decision. Do you have to rush out and buy a bunch of men’s clothing? Not really. You can start wherever you like, however you like. The rule of thumb is to remember that you are female and that you can basically be as masculine or feminine as you want, especially when it comes to style. The beauty about being masc is that you can basically blend the lines between masculine and feminine creating a whole unique style for yourself.

As we go along, more style tips will be revealed and discussed. But right now, if you’re a new masc, making the decision to be masc is the first step. Once you make the decision, the lifestyle will build itself.

Some things to ask yourself:

“What makes me feel masculine?”

“Will I be comfortable being masculine presenting in public?”

“Am I mentally, spiritually, and emotionally prepared for this?”

“Am I patient with myself?”

“Do I love myself?”

Obviously there’s a lot more questions you can ask yourself in preparation, but just know whatever answers you come up with are valid! Being masc is about confidence. There’s no official rules to this shit. However, this lifestyle is not an easy, and people will try to break you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or worse physically. Having a stable mind, body and spirit will definitely get you through. That’s why Masters Room exists; to Master this lifestyle we call masc, and to support other masc on their journey. Welcome to the Room.

Well, the first two chapters both ended with me dying at the big reveals, so would love to hear how AIHS Ch3: My windows ache is going so I can mentally/physically/emotionally/spiritually/financially prepare myself.

(also hope you're having a great week!)

Hello!!! 💜💜💜

First of all, I hope you are having a fabulous week as well!

And second, I really do apologize for cliffhanger endings. I have found that my flare for the dramatic is incurable, and so I continue to be really really obnoxious with those. 😅😅😅

Also, I want to give you OPTIONS.

Would you rather:

A) Excerpt

B) List of five key words or phrases that sum up the chapter

I will reblog this with whichever you prefer!

Thank you for the ask and for loving on this fic - it will never stop meaning everything to me!!

🥰🥰🥰🥰

as a wxs fan who plays on global server i hate december thru march so much because i've known the event schedule since day 1 and now i have to mentally physically emotionally spiritually prepare myself for the onslaught of wxs lims i have to grind for and i'm f2p so really the only way i'll get out of this alive is i won't.

[reinadecali]

Everyone thinks I’m this strong person because I wanna act tough.

Truth is… I don’t want to have to be strong, I don’t really have a fucking choice when I’m easily surrounded by ppl who never gave af about me..

They say ” you’re so strong, I wouldn’t be able to get through what you did, however you did it”

I wasn’t prepared to go through a lot of shit I went through I just had to accept it and figure out how imma move on mentally, emotionally, spiritually, & physically .

It’s never easy, 100% of the time I cry to myself to release emotions but I also feel very empty when it comes to other ppl.

[yeniasworld]

Here’s the reworked version of your heartfelt message to keep the same personal and sincere tone:

Hi Aunty Fatou,

Now that I’m finally coming out of this transition—and almost losing my life in the process—I want to take this moment to truly apologize if I hurt or scared you and the kids. If any of them happened to see my social media, especially Tumblr, they would have seen just how hurt, lost, and stuck I’ve been for over a year, ever since I returned from my travels last year. It’s been a difficult journey, but I’m starting to see that everything I went through—changing my diet, fasting, even smoking weed from August 2023 to February 2024—was all part of a bigger process to prepare me for what’s next.

As I’ve mentioned before, God and my ancestors guided me through this, and I believe they needed me to be vulnerable so I could be reshaped, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I know it sounds hard to understand, and I’m sorry if I overwhelmed you with too much at the time. I know you and Mum prayed for me, but where I was going was beyond what anyone could help with. It was a personal journey, one that required me to break down and suffer, all for this grand plan that’s now unfolding. I’ve changed so much, and I’m no longer the Sainey Kanteh you once knew. I’ve grown in ways that are hard for most people to grasp unless they’ve gone through their own healing and evolution.

God placed me and Sana in your life after we lost Dad, and I’m so grateful for everything you did for us, especially me. You were not just my aunt but also like a friend, always there with advice, financial help, and emotional support when I needed it. You opened your home and heart to us, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.

Unfortunately, I’m still in this mental and spiritual transformation, and it’s caused me to isolate myself for almost a year now. But the fortunate side is that I now know who I’m meant to be. I’m on the path to becoming a star in the creative world—acting, music, and all those things—while also using my journey to help heal others. I know this might not align with the beliefs you and Mum hold, especially as I continue to explore my identity, including a potential name and gender change in the future.

Because of that, I’ve come to realize that I can no longer have the same close-knit family relationship we once all had. I need to release those bonds so I can fully heal and live freely, without worrying if my loved ones will accept me or not. This doesn’t mean I don’t care; in fact, I wish you and the kids all the best. I’m rooting for your startup business, and if the kids ever need help in the future, I’ll be there for them. When I’m in a better place financially, I promise I’ll help support you as I’ve always said I would.

Once again, I truly apologize for everything and for how I may have treated you while I was going through these changes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me and Sana (& him still). We don’t know where we’d be without you.

Thank you, and goodbye for now.

With love,

Sainey (Yenias Omomane) Kanteh

It keeps the message clear, heartfelt, and honest while maintaining the structure and themes of personal growth, gratitude, and closure.

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

"I am no exception. During the first few weeks, in the newness of the experience, I felt that I would accept almost anything to avoid three years of this. As I settled down, getting out quickly became less important, but it remains a highly desirable end to be achieved without unnecessary delays. By this time I know that I can "take it" for the full three years if I have to. I would be depressed at the necessity. I am more positive now than ever that a long stay in prison is a deteriorating experience. I have constantly to combat the evidence of that in myself.

For example, one becomes more and more apathetic about one's work, because there is no incentive to it. It is work that one does because it is assigned, not out of love for the work, or personal satisfaction, or even money. My job in the parole office at first kept me busy all day, every day, and I was glad of it, because idle moments always brought thoughts of home. As I began to get the work systematized, so that I could do it in less and less time, I created other things to do, both to stave off nostalgia and because I have been in the habit of work. By now I can do all my work in less than half a day, and I find myself tempted merely to sit back in sheer physical and mental idleness the rest of the time. So far I have forced myself to work at something: preparation for my imminent teaching, or writing, but it will be progressively harder as time goes by. I am getting out of the habit of work.

The experience is emotionally and spiritually frustrating, too, and in time is sure to develop a spiritual callousness. I can feel that developing in me, too. At first one is struck by the magnitude of the tragedy being enacted in here. All one's impulse is to combat and alleviate in some way. It seems intolerable merely to sit and witness such things.

One seeks various channels through which to express this concern. Some of the COs have tried direct action against the prison on one or another pretext: strikes against censorship, against segregation, against parole provisions. Others, like myself, doubtful of the wisdom of that course, try to work with individuals, both inmates and staff, but particularly with inmates. But there, too, one can go just so far before running up against a blank wall.

You talk to a man about a different approach to life; over a period of weeks or months you win his interest and perhaps his whole-hearted commitment. And then what? The next step should be some practical step to help him get started on his new life. But what practical step? To all intents and purposes, here is a new man, ready to take his place as a responsible member of society. But the law is inflexible. He must serve out his sentence. If he has detainers against him, as many have, he must serve them, too. And when he does get out, society will make it difficult or impossible for him to live according to his new views.

As these facts are borne in on him, his enthusiasm becomes overlaid with a cynicism and disillusionment more bitter than before. And for the CO, faced with that sort of galling frustration, the alternatives increasingly become hysteria or callousness. The latter is what develops, of course: to a large extent he forces himself to ignore the tragedy, adopts the protective shell of the other prisoners, gradually becomes coarsened in speech and sensibilities, and perhaps suffers a major disillusionment in the power of his own beliefs."

- Alfred Hassler, Diary of a Self-Made Convict. Foreword by Harry Elmer Barnes. Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, 1954 (written 1944-1945), p. 112-113.

As always, I love when revelations just click for me at a point and time. I could be struggling with something, a thought or a concept for the longest & one day the answer is as clear as day.

This revelation pertains to being head of household & financial breadwinner.

For context, paternally I am the eldest grandchild. Maternally I am the 2nd eldest (being just months younger than the eldest). In the household I was raised in, I was depended on a lot. I was given an immense amount of responsibility & burdens that no child should be given. Mostly related to labor & time. As I started to get older, the weight of it all started to crush me into depression. From being told by my mother that I need to repay her for all she’s done for me in life; my maternal cousins only/always reaching out when they need a financial handout, to my father asking if I could house him (I was in college living in student housing not even sure of how I’d be housing myself the following semester), to being told by a paternal family member that being the eldest made me head of household. People will expect so much from me not knowing or caring about the effects it is having on me. I do not want to be responsible for other adults. I chose to not have children because i needed some sense of freedom from always being plagued by others peoples responsibilities.

All that being said, I don’t want a man to come into my life & the result being more work for me. No, I don’t wanna go 50/50. No, I don’t wanna carry may weight & yours too. I want us to do what works for us both & having to be financially responsible for our home does not work for me. There’s also nothing cute about domestic labor; I don’t want to be responsible for children you had with other women, joking about me taking care of YOUR mother in her old age isn’t funny.

I want a man that can think & take care of things and make my life easier so that in turn I can be at my best to make his life easier in a different capacity. I deserve that. As someone that is very comfortable in her solitude, I don’t mind waiting for that man. In the meantime I’ll just keep preparing for him, mentally, spiritually, emotionally & physically.

No longer am I waiting for men that want me to magically turn into the men that I want. Either come with it & begone.

Seeking God’s Peace in Chaos

Originally posted on Cherished Her.

Let me paint a picture for you. 

The sun touches your skin like a warm blanket. The wind blows kisses of daisies and tulips. The grass invites you as snow demands a snow angel. You find yourself sitting, waiting, peaceful. You turn to your left and see them walking towards you. You feel safe. The curve of your lip rises as joy surprises you. You stand to rush and embrace them. The blades of grass still remain. The surroundings stand still in time. Nothing else matters. You are happy. You are home. 

There is a picture each of us imagine when we think of heaven. When we think of our first encounter with Jesus. Maybe you think of running and giving him a big hug. Or maybe you believe you will simply fall at his feet in worship. Or, maybe you have thought of skipping in a field with the biggest smile on your face. Free. Pure joy. Complete peace. 

Lately I have been searching for that peace. Struggling to find a way past my aching anxiety and crippling thoughts. 

Many say Junior year of college is the most mentally and academically challenging. Being someone who loves learning new things and school in general, I had it rooted in my mind that there was nothing I couldn’t handle. I had already finished two years of college. How much harder could my third be? 

I am humbly admitting that I was wrong. This has been my most mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and academically challenging years. I have never found myself struggling for air more in my life. I try to “act” joyfully but always end up feeling emptier. 

I have cried more these past few months about life than I thought was even possible. I feel weighed down with no room to make a choice for myself. 

I transferred to Messiah University to be an athlete, and now I am struggling to find joy as a runner. I have always gotten good grades, but now I am fearful that I may get multiple bad grades. I love my job and the work I do but I never have time for it. I am not able to do good work because I have so many responsibilities. I feel like everything around me is spinning. Failing. Changing. And while all of that is happening I am tired. Stressed. Lonely. 

I find myself seeking the next thing. Seeking arbitrary numbers. Good grades. Fast times in my races. Things that do not define me and will never fully satisfy me. Things that always leave me wanting more.

Do you feel that weight?

Maybe it’s your job. Maybe you feel burnt out from being busy all the time. Maybe you’re in highschool or college and trying to navigate time for friends and time for school. Or maybe you are a constant worrier. It’s a hard balance to maintain. But we were not created to maintain it on our own. Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

God is waiting for you to cast your burdens on him. He is not going anywhere. He is accessible always, not just once we get to heaven. Psalm 18:2 says “The Lord is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer! My God is my rock—I take refuge in him!—he’s my shield, my salvation’s strength, my place of safety.”

He is fully alive in you. Don’t believe that you will never find full peace, joy and comfort until you are in heaven. Don’t just fully focus on that painted picture. Ironic right? I tell you a beautiful story of how Peace may look and feel one day in heaven and then tell you not to focus on it. I did so to drive home this point. 

Yes, God has prepared a beautiful place for eternity. But, God also created a beautiful you for today. 

For this life you are living right now. And he is right there with you, even if you are feeling like everything around you is failing. 

God is unchanging. He can and will fully and completely satisfy you. He brings fullness and wholeness and complete peace in this life right now as he intended it to be. 

We can find comfort and reassurance in his words even when everything seems to be going wrong. 

In Psalm 23:4 it says “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Even in our lowest seasons God is evident. He is present. He is faithful. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). 

My biggest challenge for you through all of this is to seek the lord for peace. 

Life can be hard. Like I explained earlier, I have been struggling to make it on my own. But God so graciously reminded me that I am not meant to do life on my own. That he has purpose in my pain. That there can be joy in our sorrows. How do I know that?

Because God is the sustainer and giver of joy, peace, and comfort. So when you feel empty, know that God is right there filling your cup. Giving you strength to conquer another day. Giving you peace to take on another week. Giving you confidence in the abilities he has so graciously gifted you with. 

God is waiting for you. He is the giver of peace even when we feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or depression. Trust in him. Believe in the wonderful plans he has for you. Seek him for peace. For fulfillment. 

“In Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority” (Colossians 2:10).
