Dreams: The Touchstones of Our Character

Dreams are much more than fleeting thoughts or aspirations; they are the touchstones of our character. They reflect our deepest desires, our core values, and our true selves. By understanding and pursuing our dreams, we uncover the essence of who we are and what we stand for. The Essence of Dreams Dreams serve as a mirror to our innermost thoughts and emotions. They reveal our passions,…

Do you ever feel like it's too late, or you're too far behind, or it's not worth it to start something new?

Don't believe it!

In reality, it's never to late to get started on whatever it is you dream of doing. The time is going to pass anyway, right? Might as well put it to good use by going after that thing you really want.

Get started today. I believe in you!

everyday I wake up and lament that I didn't choose science studies when I was 13 but instead decided to go to a language high school. and everyday I wake up and get incredibly frustrated that I shouldn't study literature bc "it provides no career opportunities"

it is rare in toku shows where i want an old person to yell at a young upstart artist that they're not as good as they think they are but dang am I hoping that happens in next week's gavv

man listening to AHWTV hits so different now. like the characters in that album were always tragic, they always had sad stories. but after listening to jenny from thebes it feels like they were all doomed from the start. idk if jeff and cyrus were ever explicitly a part of jenny’s crew but regardless it’s hard not to hear echoes of jenny’s narrative in the best ever death metal band out of denton

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.

i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

"I-It's alright, you...you didn't know. I-I...I appreciate your c-condolences, though."

It was rather jarring, to say the least, to hear someone express their condolences for the loss of her father; to many, his death wasn't that great a loss, as evidenced by his lonely funeral, none of his old friends (all of whom had largely cut ties with him) turning up to bid him farewell. No one had cared that August Pace had died, anymore than they had when Wilhelmina Pace did.

Wanting to move away from such a somber topic (especially when it came to her mother-she sincerely hoped her guest didn't recognize her surname as being the same as an Irish-American woman who drowned in Lake Pontchartrain some several decades ago...she probably didn't have to worry; such matters would be beneath notice for the upper class), Susannah instead ventured to ask, "D-Do you, um...d-do you have siblings, M-Mr. de Clair? Wh-What do your parents...do?"

Unlike Abigail and many of the other seamstresses, Susannah was never one for the papers gabbing on and on about the more esteemed people of New Orleans, the people who really mattered: If she had to guess, his parents had their fingers in something lucrative (maybe shipping, like the Gracey's?) and that he never had to work a day in his life, and neither did any of his siblings, if he had any. It was likely a very charmed life he led, very different from Susannah's own.

ya know i rarely talk about my degree and i purely think its (1) not relevant (2) im just paranoid of a more ancient internet… where ppl would find out you had a stem degree/were studying stem and would just unload on you every cruel thing their unsupportive fathers said to them while they were pursing art degrees. i dont think ppl do that anymore lol

watching an older youtuber like laura kampf (who is 40 which isn't That old but older than most internet celebrities) is very comforting because as much i don't want to, i keep feeling like my life is over when i'm only 25 and to see this woman who is out there living her life making stuff and inventing stuff and having a career on youtube and having a girlfriend makes me feel like everything's going to be okay
