I think a lot of people who could have gone somewhere with their writing and/or illustration are going to find themselves plateauing at mediocre due to simply having AI do too many things for them.

Humans are designed to get good with practice, and people are not practicing.

One reason it can be such a trap is because it can feel like learning, and there's relatively instant gratification.

What's effectively happening, however, is observation. One can learn from it, but if someone remains just an observer, they'll always lack actual experience.

I’m an Empath… I can feel what you’re not saying

The Jester and the King

The journey this man has been on.

I love nearly all of Stede’s outfits, but the one on the left made me gasp a little with horror even the first time.

The neck detail is reminiscent of a jester’s cowl. Stede is dressed as The Fool. It’s how he feels. A joke. Sneered at within his marriage. Unknown to his family. A misfit. A clown. An irrelevance. In fact, he looks like a toy. Not real. A puppet?

We don’t know how authentic this memory is; we see a different one play out later, but that doesn’t matter. This is how Stede feels. And one day, he just cannot continue…

Cut to the second picture. Sure, we all love Stede’s increasingly-plunging necklines, but they are symbolically important. His new clothes are about freedom, embracing a newly-realised form of friendship, love, sexuality. And we see Stede’s flesh. He’s a hot-blooded, sensual, real-live human being, not a painted doll. He’s glowing with vitality. The thing is, Stede was always alive. It’s why he couldn’t go on any longer in a smothered state. And now he’s allowed truly to exist as his wonderful messy self.

Stede’s reborn. He’s in love with his ‘babe’, and is king (or queen) of his own life.

That’s the face of a man who won.

Let's talk friendships.

Why do you constantly put yourself in situations where you feel left out?

Why are you allowing yourself to be the friend that walks behind the rest of the friend group while they giggle and talk amongst themselves?

Why do you allow yourself to be with people who use you to feel better about themselves?What for? The name of friendship?Acceptance?

That loneliness you think you'll feel being alone is it any worse than sitting in a crowded room while everyone else forgets your existence?

The period in time where you're alone is for growth. It's for you!

What if one day you just disappear for a whole and you just come back better? Better mental health, better physical health just better overall.

You're going to leave this earth alone, you do realize that right? So why are you wasting your time with people who couldn't care less if you were around or not.

My darling, there's always going to be someone in your life who'll truly adore you at your lowest and best.

Someone has to be the one to tell you those people you keep hanging out with aren't your friends. In a friendship do you think you're supposed to feel left out? Used? Abandoned? Absolutely not!

You're such a beautiful soul and you do not need someone else to validate it! Once you validate yourself you'll attract the people who are best for you!

Like the wizard liz once said 'you have not met all the people that will love you yet'

I know it's easier said than done but trust me finding happiness within yourself will absolutely set you free.

It's not easy to heal, it's not easy to step away from what feels familiar to you, it'll never be easy but 5 years or so down the line you'll be soooo proud of yourself, love.

All my love

Stop yearning so desperately for the next best thing that you forget to appreciate the present. Sitting in a brand new BMW wishing it was a Bentley, chasing some elusive end point, and losing the magic of today. You do not have to keep pursuing, acquiring, moving. There can be satisfaction in contentment. There can be satisfaction in the now.

stop caring about what others think: the law perspective

hi, everyone! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

i've thought about writing this post for a while, especially since this is a mindset that i am freeing myself from. i know i'm not the only one who grew up in the state of being a people pleaser, so this is for people who were programmed to neglect their own desires and give in to pressure from family, friends, and society.

the other day, my mom noticed that i had a really long gray strand of hair. i didn't believe her at first, but when she pulled it out and showed it to me, i was shocked. it looked like it had been there for months, and i wondered to myself what i did for this to happen.

seth said that your physical body is a reflection of your beliefs, or your dominant dwelling state. if you notice that there is something "wrong" with your body, then you must first look into your thoughts and emotions over the last few weeks, months, etc.

Physical symptoms are communications from the inner self, indications that we are making mental errors of one kind or another. ♡ Seth (channeled by Jane Roberts), The Seth Material

after seeing that gray hair, i knew that it was because of stress. okay, what was i stressed about? i started looking back into what i had dwelt on over the last few months, and i realized that i was stressed out about a lot of things. what stood out, though, was my inner conversations about my family. i was mainly dwelling on what my family thought of me, whether i was worthy of their approval or not, if they were proud of me, etc.

in other words, i cared way too much about how they think and feel about me that it had translated to not only having that long gray strand of hair, it also translated to other physical symptoms (chronic fatigue, chest pain, rashes).

and not only did it translate to those physical symptoms, it also translated to my thoughts, emotions, and the events i was experiencing in the 3D. in other words, everything out here is a reflection of your inner state of being. the cause is always inner.

i found myself feeling more anxious about talking to my parents, wishing that they didn't bring up anything that i really don't want to do. i even avoided them for a certain period of time because of this fear. and since the law is always working 24/7, they ended up bringing it up way more often since i frequently dwelt on what i don't want to hear.

thankfully, though, if i decide to do the opposite (i.e., dwelling on what i want to hear instead), then the 3D has no choice but to outpicture what i choose to experience with my inner senses.

when you consistently dwell on people pleasing, on your fears and doubts about your family, peers, etc., these are all going to be translated into your thoughts, your emotions, your physical body, your experience—everything.

when you care too much about what other people think, when you consent to someone else's limiting beliefs about reality, when you care about external validation, it is only hindering your infinite potential. you are only going to experience such limitations and unhappiness in your reality because you chose to try to fit into someone else's box.

As long as you're in a state of consciousness where you care so much what other people think and what their attitudes will be, you're not going to get very far. ♡ Reverend Ike, "Your Unconscious Fear of Success Affirmation"

i am not saying this as a way to fearmonger, or to blame, or to guilt-trip you. that's not my intention.

i am saying this for you to fully realize the connection between your inner world and your outer world.

nothing is random. nothing is an accident. you are always getting what you concentrated upon, and therefore, you ultimately have the responsibility to choose what reality you want to experience.

you're the only one that can free yourself from these states. no one else can do that for you.

the more you focus on being true to yourself, the more you shift your focus from making other people happy to letting yourself be happy, the more you're going to experience the happiness that comes with the authenticity of your unique being.

yes, it might feel hard to do so at first, but that's because we have made a habit out of wanting to please other people and being rewarded with external validation. it is what we have gotten used to since the beginning of our lives.

however, if you want to be the best version of yourself, you must give up all inner conversations about what other people think of you, that what they think about you matters. stop the arguments in your head. their thoughts and opinions about you have no power over you unless you choose to give it to them. it only matters what you think and feel about yourself.

your inner world is your refuge, where every single reality you desire to experience and is already promised to you exists in this present moment. everything is happening all at once. here, you can experience how it'd feel now that you are free to be yourself, to do whatever you want, to be unconditionally loved and accepted no matter what. you must make this a habit, and the more often you do this, the easier it gets.

I must consciously return to my new state constantly. I must feel its naturalness, like my own bed at night. At first the new state seems unnatural, like wearing a new suit or hat. Although no one knows your suit is new, you are so conscious of it you think everyone is looking at you. You are aware of its fit and its feeling until it becomes comfortable. So it is with your new state. At first you are conscious of its strangeness; but with regular wearing, the new state becomes comfortable, and its naturalness causes you to constantly return to it, thereby making it real. ♡ Neville Goddard, "The Perfect Image"

if you find yourself going back to those old inner conversations, don't beat yourself up over it. don't criticize yourself. it's okay. consciousness is the only reality, but you are also having a human experience. you are on your own journey, and this is completely normal. be gentle with yourself and let those thoughts and emotions pass over, as they are only temporary. then choose to continue to let yourself dwell on who you really want to be within.

to wrap this post up, i have a song recommendation :]

i stumbled upon this song on spotify by paris hilton which features rina sawayama (I LOVE HER BTW RAHHHHHH). perhaps the lyrics will resonate with you guys and allow yourselves to enter the feeling of being your authentic self.

Hello babes, I have some news for you! I decided to postpone my internship at college due to mistakes made by their administration, and this was causing me excessive stress! This way, I can get on with the commissions I'm late, work on the Zine, and get back to making content for everyone! Thank you for your patience, I'll be back in action! 💪😤💗💗💗

By the way, I was talking to my friend today about what I intend to do to create content with Fellow and so I decided to create an OC from the world of Twst for him, someone who has a personal life in Twst outside of campus! This way, I have content on campus and off it! I've been looking forward to Fellow's card since last year and finally this moment has arrived! I understand that some people may not like romance and things like that, but I'm going to mix a little bit of everything! But I'll be looking forward to creating different content!☝️☺️💗

I'm feeling better, but very distracted and busy with the work that has accumulated due to personal problems, but things will get better ✍️😭‼️
