There is an animal called the African impala. If you know about it, you’d know that it can leap nearly 3 meters high while standing in one place and can jump forward up to 9 meters.

However, 

When this African impala is captured in a zoo, the wall surrounding it is only about 1 meter high, yet it never tries to jump over it. When research was conducted to find out why it doesn’t jump, it was discovered that unless the impala can see what lies ahead, it feels it cannot move forward.

The same thing happens to us. When we can’t see the road ahead, we hesitate to take that first step because we want to see everything all the way to the end. But the truth is, there’s a much bigger path ahead of what we can currently see. 

You should take that first step. When we start climbing stairs, we don’t practically see the last step, but as you move forward step by step, you eventually reach the final step.

I was accepted to a paid video editing internship and a lot of the work is very reminiscent of what I used to do here. It makes me so happy to know that my silly little Tumblr blog gave me good practice :3 I hope everyone is doing well <3 Tell me what you're going to be for Halloween!

Some people dwell in the past, some people are always thinking of the future.. but not Levi. Levi is always focused on the moment, what he can do to help -to make a change- here and now. He keeps moving forward through pain and trauma, living life with no regrets, but he also never forgets about those around him who are in need.

I’ll be honest, for as many years at I’ve seen October art/writing challenges (and art challenges the rest of the weeks/months of the year), I’ve only attempted a few and never finished any.

That being said, I think what I’m going to do for my umpteenth attempt this new October is to just.. do. Just do something every day. Any challenge, any prompt, any event, even if it’s mixed and mismatched. Doesn’t matter if it’s finished, though I will try for it. A few well-typed sentences, a sketched drawing, an unfinished study, I’ll still label them a success. I want my goal for this month to be to make improvements in my art and passions and to make an effort. Not bogged down by perfectionism or despair or lack of motivation or whatever else may stop me. I want to make the challenge of this month for me to live my life thoughtfully and love and respect what I bring into it again.

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, this time about push-ups! So I have a weird assortment of health issues, which makes most exercise in general somewhere between difficult, impossible, and inadvisable, but back before I got sick I was learning to do handstands and I loved it. Long story short, my new meds are helping, but it's been more than a decade and I want to work myself into being able to do handstands again without my arms collapsing and landing on my head, so I've been trying to strengthen my arms a little at a time So far, that's mostly been pushups*, but today I tried pushups with my feet elevated and that was significantly easier than normal pushups??? I'm pretty sure it's working different muscles, but it's also closer to a handstand, so have I been doing pushups wrong this whole time if my goal is handstands??? Also, are there other exercises you'd recommend if my goal is handstands? I want to really overprepare my arms in particular, because sometimes when my blood pressure is wonky my muscles are weaker than they should be, so I can't rely on them reacting correctly and I really don't want to fall on my head

*I also have a weird headstand trainer contraption thing that's basically like a shoulder rest so you can be upside down, like a headstand, without putting all your weight on your head? idk how to describe it but it helps practice the "being upside down" and "various torso muscles keeping you balanced while upside down" parts of handstands. I have no idea what it's called my mom was thrilled I wanted to do handstands and sent it to me

Things I need to do to un-fuck my life:

Get a new job! Even if it's temporary on my way to a different career, I need out of this career field!!!

Start researching different places to live. Talk to my friends who have moved to different states. Bring up my concerns with those closest to me, instead of hiding them.

Cancel the personal trainer for good and start saving money again.

Make more efforts to do new things, even if it's just a new coffee shop or taking a day trip somewhere!

Make small talk with strangers more. Keep volunteering at the animal shelter. Find new communities I can volunteer at, or meet new people.

Keep traveling to see old friends and new places!!

This trip has really lit a fire under my ass. I can't keep living the way I was! No wonder I was so depressed all the time. It's a lot of changes, but I can break them up into smaller goals. I want to do this. I've wasted enough time at this job in a career I hate. I'm just so glad that this trip helped open my eyes to that.

i call this a Lovecraftian angel sigil. i start with a statement of intent, make a sigil out of it, and go to town on it lol. It's time consuming but i find it therapeutic. this one symbolises the statement "i am capable"

i'm starting a spanish class tomorrow, they assigned some pre-class homework and the first exercise was easy peasy, but the other two were kind of hard. there's this weird indescribable feeling when venturing into uncharted learning territory...like i'm confronted with how much I don't know (if I take an uncompassionate approach to this, it's like i'm struck by my own stupidity and i feel so lost) but then it becomes a challenge that can be solved with time and dedication....so I've been wondering all my life when/if I'll ever feel comfortable calling myself bilingual but i'm so sick of learning at a slow pace and not asking for even more help than i've had (I need more help to become fluent, my friends have been helping me but I need something rigorous), i just want to be bilingual already so i'm trying to make this happen haha

Hi.

How did you get over your quarter life crisis?

Because I’m trying not to fall into the vast unyielding void. And I’m failing hilariously.

[volivolition]

Hehee! ok, for the questioning I have chosen 7, 12, 25 and 28. Also if you are feeling very spicy you can also do 37.

hehehe hello red!! <33 THE QUESTIONING BEGINS.... >:3!!!

7) what scares you the most and why? ✨ confrontation~!! ✨ [jazz hands] B') like, conversation is already hard enough, and then you have to add the fact that someone is mad at the other person?? ough!! awful!!! i don't want people to be mad at me! and i dont want to be mad at other people!! wuahg... D: also centipedes, millipedes, and caterpillars. bros why you got so many legs for. you dont need that many. aeugh... :|!!!

12) what’s some good advice you want to share? technically already answered, but here's more advice hkjgh - install sponsorblock as a firefox extension if you don't want to see Raid Shadow Legends or Audible sponsorships anymore :P - having a mermaid blorbo/oc will make you better at art (mostly because it helps you practice a lot of line-of-action and flowing poses and also drawing water) - when writing, skip to the parts you're excited to write and fill in everything else later. when editing, save parts you dont want in a different scrap document so it doesn't feel scary to delete it all hkjgh - create whateber you want forever, be unapologetically self-indulgent, make things that you want to make! cringe culture is dead; dance upon its grave <3

25) fave season and why? i love autumn :] when it gets cooler again, but not too cold yet. the state of transition... crisp air and pretty colors... ough what good vibes. i love you autumn <3

28) do you collect anything? i dont think i collect anything in particular! i wanted to start a pin or acrylic charm collection at some point though <3

37) share a secret oooh hm, whats a good secret... oh, this one's funny: the first fanfic i ever wrote was an extremely comphet one direction fic when i was 12. it was extremely poorly written because i only had cliche wattpad fics for guidance. and the worst part is i didnt even LIKE one direction, i just thought one direction was the only fandom you were allowed to write fanfics about, WHICH IS A WILD THING TO THINK, PAST ME??? LMAO!!!

Realizing that basically none of my desires are unattainable. Got dates and kimchi and zucchini at the grocery store today. A million people coming over later for a party. I’m going to wear a skin tight black embellished vintage midi dress that I bought from a consignment shop by the sea over break. Applying to ivy leagues, and if I don’t get in, I’ll reapply next year and get a different certification in the mean time.

Not everything’s perfect but one of my friends is bringing me a homemade blackberry cake. I’ve been saving pictures of those berry cakes to my Pinterest for months but thought it would be too outlandish for me to attend the kind of event that would have something so extravagant and rich. But I guess I realized in order to attend an event where you can don a vintage evening gown and eat royal purple berry cake is to throw it yourself.

The pogues are actually so toxic together, its sad that we don't talk about it more often.
