#seeking counsel

[practicingbushiho]

He lifts the boy's chin to look him in the face, and the prince is shy as his eyes look away.

"You're a little love junkie, aren't you?" the large man asks. The young master bites his lip, shivering with shame. "Is love a drug to you?"

"I…I apologize." the weak muttering falls from the boy's lips, but as if to undo the words the elder leans in to kiss the guilt away, taking the boy's shame with him as he does.

"It is alright," he mumbles. He hears the young master's voice hitch in his throat when he elects to rest a palm on his hip, pulling him into his lap on the bed. "Sometimes a drug…is a medicine that you use to heal."

Isaiah 30:1 Taking The Wrong Counsel

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who despise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;” Isaiah 30:1 Thousands of books and millions of websites are available to give advice and counsel on how to deal with nearly anything and everything. People are also ready and willing to give their counsel in person for many things. The…

Love when I tell myself "ok, time to respond to this message/dm", but then I look at it and begin internally screaming instead

Why am I like this

[tacthescribbler]

I hate complaining in public (in this case, on my blog where strangers on the internet can see it), but I need someone (other than my close friends who hear me bitch about this all the time) to know how much I need my sibling to move out.

I am a solitary person. They were only supposed to live with me "for a few months," to quote their own plans.

They have been living with me for over 5 years.

There are a myriad other issues I have, but this is what I'm frustrated with at this moment.

It's dumb. Cost of living is high. Groceries cost too much. 5 years isn't even that long, in the grand scheme of things. I should be happy that my sibling isn't on the street with no roof over their head.

But in this moment, there is nothing I want more than:

To rearrange my apartment back to the way I had it before my sibling moved in.

To not have the presence of another human being pervading my space for all hours of the time that my sibling is not at work

To not be forced to leave my home to get any time/space to myself

To be able to do things without feeling like I'm always being heard/watched

To know that when I put my dishes away, they go where they belong and won't shift places every time they get washed

My sibling flew to visit our parents a few years ago. They were gone for a month. The moment they left the apartment, I felt so much freer and happier. My depressive symptoms practically evaporated.

I'm sorry I feel this way, but I'm also having strong feelings and I'm frustrated.

Here is she is, my new Corpus OC

Her name is Mela Maenroni, she is rich and a bitch, that's it.

She is a statistician by education and her business is centered around predicting market trends and offering consultations to young entrepreneurs and startups. She is at the top of her field and highly regarded by fellow Corpus, some think that she might dabble in Void worship to make her predictions, as her mathematical models are suspiciously accurate, even when improved by AI models. Mela is so well-respected that ignoring her predictions, regardless if they are good or bad, is seen as borderline blasphemous and a bad omen in on itself. So far none of her predictions have been wrong.

Lyric wouldn't outwardly consider themselves someone low on self-confidence, but they very clearly are in the way a lot of child abuse victims tend to be growing up without any intervention or therapy. If you asked Lyric what they saw when they looked at themselves, what they basically see is a black hole in the shape of their body. When they look in the mirror they don't recognize themselves. Lyric is so incredibly dissociated from their body they don't even feel like they have one most days.

By extension of that, Lyric doesn't understand from a logical standpoint how anyone could desire them, find them attractive, compliment them, etc. Lyric not feeling sexual attraction only emphasizes that, because they consider it to simply be relative to how other people look at them.
