I’m IN LOVE WITH LEMON DROP. THE SONG IS IT AND THE MUSIC VIDEO IS IT.

But tell me why Yeosang got 2.5 seconds of screen time and two lines!?! It not funny anymore. That guy is insanely talented. The voice and talented dancing skills are insane. Truly disappointed that their company treats him this way. One of my favourite idols. We see you and love you talented boy!

They took his patience under their thoughtlessness for granted; they didn't seem aware that he had feelings to hurt or interests to injure, and some of them talked together as freely in his presence as if he wasn't there.

March of Pain Day 27: Food

CW: hunger, um...that's about it this time

As the sunset cast golden light through the window above the sink, the servant boy finished scraping the plates into his wooden bowl. The royals had eaten almost everything, leaving him with a small mound of scraps and crumbs. Mostly bones. He would give those to the dogs. But for him, there wasn’t much. He was used to it; it came with the territory of being a kitchen boy. Granted, he wasn’t just a kitchen boy. But no one knew that except him.

He set the bowl aside for later and started washing. Behind him, the cook hummed tunelessly as he put his pots away. The woodcutter lumbered in with the last pile of wood for the night. The queen’s maid slipped in for her majesty’s nightly hot drink. And the kitchen boy kept washing. Plate after plate, bowl after bowl, he scrubbed and rinsed, casting the occasional glance at the meager bowl waiting for him when he was finished.

If only they knew. If only they knew who I really am.

He had taken the job easily: get a position in the castle in disguise, and keep an eye on the royal family’s movements. Not the most honorable thing he had ever done. But there was more than just his own honor at stake.

They can’t know. Not yet. Not until the job is done.

With the stack of dirty dishes finally depleted, the kitchen boy turned at last to his bowl of leftovers. One taste, and he dumped the rest into a trough for the pigs. Even worse than he expected. Stale bread would have to be enough for tonight’s supper after all.

Not the way to treat a knight. He should be sitting at the high table, dining next to the rest of the royal family’s courtiers.

But for now, until he accomplished his mission, stale bread would have to do.

That, and the dagger he always wore concealed in his cast-off boots.

drank down half of the bottle on an empty stomach at twelve am only to pass out

laying cold on the ground

just right there where you left me

maybe I didn't even want to be found

everything was so blurry that I couldn't really see

but I still walked for the bus and drove all the way home

still talking with you for a few days more like still stuck in a stockholm syndrome

but right after I blocked you I finally realized that I'm living in one big tome

with the same patterns repeating in each chapter that I discovered on google chrome

now I don't drink and I don't have friends anymore

Ты могла бы быть обожаемой, боготворимой, идеализированной — или никем из этого. Ты могла бы получить всё, что захочешь — не за то, что ты сделала, а просто потому, что я люблю тебя.

Но чего ты не можешь — это презирать меня, критиковать, не ценить мою жизнь, которую я отдаю тебе, — и при этом всё ещё ждать моей преданности.

It’s not what you do

it’s how you do it....

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

'I miss our conversations.' She pulled her arm away from his grasp. 'Then I guess you shouldn't have treated me like you did.'

Do You Need Justice?

We live in a place where injustice feels far too common. Maybe you’ve been wrongfully accused. Perhaps you’ve been overlooked for a promotion, mistreated by a family member, or manipulated by someone you trusted. In moments like these, the cry for justice rises deep from within our souls. We want things made right. But what do you do when the systems that are supposed to uphold justice seem…

HEBREWS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 11

Friday, 4/18/2025 (Good Friday)

SCRIPTURE:

He chose to be mistreated with God’s people instead of having the temporary pleasures of sin. ~ Hebrews 11:25

OBSERVATION:

Well, here we are on Good Friday, and this verse "spoke" to me, a seemingly perfect selection for what Jesus went through - did - for me...

Once again, how's this for "coincidence" 

He chose to be mistreated...

He was tempted to avoid all of it...

...including and especially being mistreated...

...and yet He chose it...

...for me!

...instead of the temporary pleasures of sin...

All the brain science about addiction "proves" sin is temporary...

...has to be repeated...

...has to be fed...

...creates physical and psychological cravings - needs - that have to be met...

...that the distractions of what's going on around me remind me of and lure my focus and commitment from...

It seems that part is "permanent" - ongoing - nonstop...

...as is His grace...

If I'll accept it...

...and ask His forgiveness for giving in to my weaknesses...

...my distractions...

...my addictions...

...to my wants and willfulness...

APPLICATION:

Draw near to God...try to find Him (verse 6)

Obey when called to go... without knowing where He's sending me... (verse 8)

Remember the pleasures of sin are temporary...

PRAYER:

Father of mercy and grace - I confess to being permanently addicted to temporary things - to not always seeking Your power and loving strength in facing my willfulness to follow my distractions instead of Your will and Word in and for my life... Thank You for Jesus's choice to be mistreated on my behalf, in my place, for my choices - May I not only be reminded to draw near and obey, but to actually do it - in full faith in Your all-knowing and loving-kindness for what is permanently and eternally for my good and Your honor... Worshipfully in Jesus's Name...

So, if I may, this was (also "coincidentally"?), in my inbox this morning... 

In Eden, God declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding to him” (Gen 2:18).  Needing help is not a flaw — it’s part of God’s design.  If that was true before sin entered the world, how much more so after the fall?  Refusing to seek help is rejecting God’s design. ~ Eric Schumacher || Common Good

Needing - Him - and His help...𝖌
