A gentle reminder for when things don’t feel okay. The sun will shine on you, and the moon will smile at you, and things will feel okay again with time. ♡

It’s really tough, but sometimes you still gotta move forward, even when you’re sad. 

My drawing tablet completely broke a few days before my calendar deadline, coming in after a week of stress with my payments processor, so it hasn’t been the best time for me. But I gotta keep going- working on my calendar the best I can on my iPad, paying extra fees, and setting up the holiday sale. I just have to make it through!

I know it’s hard to believe now, but you’re going to make good things happen! 💛I’m the kind of person who worries a LOT, about everything, especially the unknown and distant future. But we just have to remember that we’re working hard for a reason, and it helps to look forward to a good future rather than to fear a bad one.

Peeling back the anxious thoughts is the toughest part, but it helps so much, especially when you write them down! Some of my favorite techniques:

1. What is the worse case scenario, and could you live with it?

2. What would you tell a friend going through this?

3. Will you remember this is in 5 years, or will you overcome it like you did with your past challenges? 

I’ve been thinking about this little analogy for a bit, and it’s helped me reduce the weight a recent stressor has had on me. A manufacturing issue had been making me anxious this past few week, but when I stripped it down, it was just another blip that I’d deal with. I realized I had been adding all these layers of anxious thoughts onto something that I’d definitely overcome, even if the worst case happened. So I hope picturing your anxiety as an onion with a smaller, baby stressor inside can help you lighten the load of your anxieties!

My childhood sweet heart 🐸

When someone understands your silence >>>

I’ll admit, I’m going to miss the little wizard guy. However I do like this thing where they completely change their logo randomly every few months.

I’ve started a collection:

“Don’t just learn, experience. Don’t just read, absorb. Don’t just change, transform. Don’t just relate, advocate. Don’t just promise, prove. Don’t just criticize, encourage. Don’t just think, ponder. Don’t just take, give. Don’t just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don’t just hear, listen. Don’t just talk, act. Don’t just tell, show. Don’t just exist, live.”

Is it Possible for an Idea to be Beyond Your Skill Level?

                I think writing as a skill is often underappreciated. In that, I mean I think even writers hold ourselves to a standard that no other creator does. Out of all the skills or hobbies, it’s probably one of the least physical ones, which is often seen as the “benchmark” for skill, or the limiting factor in someone improving something.

                For example, musicians get more nimble and can reach their notes quicker and more accurately, allowing them to play more difficult pieces. Athletes get stronger and gain in endurance, allowing them to score more goals or otherwise go farther in the season with their team.

                I see writers all the time who believe they should be able to do anything because they don’t have that physical benchmark to limit how far they can go, and then the draft doesn’t come out how they wanted it to, and they get discouraged.

                Here’s my take, writing as a skill is just like any other. It needs practice. It’s not something you’re either born with or not, it needs to be developed and strengthened.

                With that in mind—I promise your idea isn’t beyond you. No one is ever going to finish a perfect draft on their first try—that’s never how anything works, and it has nothing to do with how “talented” you are.

                Rewrite the scene until it’s capturing what you want it to. Rework that character until they are who you need them to be. Edit until your motifs are coming through. It’s all practice, every draft is another practice towards nailing the end product. Do you think artists nail drawing hands on their first try? What about on their tenth try?

                So why are you holding yourself to this idea that it’s taking too many drafts to perfect?

                It’s okay to keep trying. If you’re really struggling with realizing a concept, take it out of its context. Write the character you want to see in different situations separate from your project. Read how others have done something similar, take notes. Gather sources and inspiration for what you want to do. Reach out to other writer friends for advice.

                Overall, don’t not write because you think it’s beyond you. With a little bit of work and practice, there’s no story you can’t finish.

                Good luck!

love beautifies everything, love connects everything in a poetic way. human connection is art. when your lover talks to you, their words first touch your skin like kisses and then build a home in your heart. when they hold your hand, your souls share an intertwined state. when both of your eyes meet, you enter a meeting behind a physical veil; a spiritual meeting of minds. when you look at your lover, all you see is a walking poem, speaking to you in between the lines and knowing you will understand them even, or especially in a shared silence.

Most people crave for perfect hair, perfect face, perfect body or millions of dollars.

But I crave for your arms around me, your head on my chest, whispering, "I love you" into my ear as we lay there at 1 am.

This thought saddens me because I have a constant ache in my heart that craves for your love, but you don't even know I exist.

February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2023! the drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of feb.

Here’s how it works:

Each week of the month will have a theme with seven different prompts, draw something mushroom related within that theme in order to join. The themes are Weird, Mystical, Malicious and Friendly. You don’t have to complete all the prompts, just one mushroom per theme/week is plenty!

If you’re hardcore you can definitely try and finish all the prompts though ;). The challenge intensity is adjustable to what suits you. This is a chill event where the goal is to just have fun and vibe, and honor the fungi kingdom with some really cool art🍄

I invite you all to come draw mushrooms with me! Use the hashtag #Funguary when posting your creations. I’ll be posting some of the creations here, and I’ll also be hanging out in the hashtag and comment sections! Really hope y’all join and draw fungi with me🥰🍄🌿 See you all on the first of February, LETS GOOOO!!

"In the 21rst century, Make sure if you are Buying a house, Close your mouth. If you are Buying a new car, Close your mouth. If you are Getting married, Close your mouth. If you are Going on a holiday, Close your mouth.

*

If you are Going to do a course, Close your mouth. If you are Getting engaged, Close your mouth. The majority of your "friends or people close to you" want to see you do well, but Never better than them! That’s why when you fail they will be the first to open their arms and pretend like they care. So close your mouth, let achievements do the speaking. God bless"

*

It's so true most people are not on a journey of self improvement, low agency so someone else's hustle triggers them so they will do what they can to sabotage it even on an energetic level. Most people would rather be lazy and keep their limiting beliefs than level up so if they see you succeed they will go after you. Crabs in a barrel.

*

I had an incident with someone in the level up community who wasn't putting effort in therapy, in leveling up, in appearance, just reading all the books and implementing nothing. We met two years ago or a year ago I believe. Since then girls who started with us go their engagement rings some married, and definitely many girls had a date at Michelin start restaurant with a multi millionaire even if it did not go well in these groups. She was so sweet in the beginning. As she became more and more and more behind and struggled getting to above a coffee date and ladies around her were surpassing her, she became bitter and started passive aggressive behavior. For example she would deliberately contradict whenever someone who leveled up more than she did speak.

*

It's okay if you move slow but you try to implement something and are hopeful and move. We are all at different stages of the journey but the key is to keep moving. People who are not trying to always improve themselves lose hope and then get upset at others.

*

At Miss Universe all the ladies were nice to each other, opposite of catty, because everyone was on a self improvement journey. Our success depended on how well we did, not on other ladies. We are our only competition.

*

Even a lot of people who say they are on a journey of self improvement are not like the catty backbiter who was nice but after she was behind started back biting. Catina the BackBiter is actually a compose of quite a few ladies I saw and walked away from. I also notice this in person.

*

Don't show off. I didn't realize I was showing off but I got attacked for getting engaged and getting married by feminists I met at a conference. Its so funny now they are considered TERFS and the woke mob went after them later.

*

Don't trust people who are not actively leveling up and putting effort to be a little ahead next year more than this one, who aren't doing inner work and working on their limiting beliefs. Of course that means networking is difficult - then just keep it superficial with most people unless you see them passionate about growth.

*

Stagnant people bite. Growing people don't. Most people are stagnant so be careful who you share your joy with. Don't show your plans until they happened so that nobody sabotages you.

Child of The Fire

My youth is laid out in front of me

Like scattered polaroids

Depicting a Golden Girl

Ready to face the troubles she know avoids

I spy with my little eye

A soon to be no longer

She longs for a different tide

She longs to be younger

The gruesome waters drown the crops before the harvest

Greet settles in and the Fallen get the farthest

Daughter of the Divine

Child of mother earth

Do you know where the sun sets?

Do you know it’s worth?

You mourned winters end

But wished for warmth

You shoe daggers into heaven

And raindrops fell in swarms

Lover of the Light lives in a cave beneath the mountains

Nothing will bring you back, no bridges, no fountains

Board the ship and sail towards the stormy sea

Desperate and naiv, conceited by dreams, you’re no Hercules

Wings of fire light up the sky

The sweet scent of honey

Your eyes reflect the flames

And the work turns sunny

Icarus welcomes me with loving arms

Embraced by wishful thinking, by an old friend

His heart beats like mine, his skin is painted by burns

With you I soar, with you I meet my end

(a poem i once wrote, i’ve always been incredibly self conscious abt showing other ppl what i write but it’s fun to share it and see what other think! i’d love to hear your thoughts!)

28 things i learned at 28

you’re allowed to simply Exist. productivity is not a competition that you are constantly losing, and you don’t need to earn your rest

there will never be a moment quite like this one again - take the picture

leave your work at work! those after hours emails can wait until morning to earn your time

how hard you work doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated

on that note, it’s okay to way to be noticed or appreciated for how hard you work

you’ll never stop surprising yourself

don’t forget that everything you do, you aren’t doing it for numbers or notoriety; you’re doing it for your younger self who would be so amazed you’ve done what you’ve done

no one will ever be as hard on you as you are on yourself

give yourself a break from time to time

doing your best is, in fact, doing enough

you’ll earn that money back but the memories are irreplaceable

disney is, in fact, the most magical place on earth

spending time with your best friend will truly heal your soul in ways you can never explain

you’re going to say the wrong thing. you’re going to do the wrong thing. being wrong is a part of life you can’t avoid

your anxiety will be so loud, it’s okay to ask to be loved louder

getting lost in a book is a great escape unlike any other

the more you focus on your recovery, the more you’re going to notice the habits that lead you to choose recovery

don’t hate yourself for sucking in your stomach in photos

don’t be so hard on yourself for having to actively make the decision to eat

just because it doesn’t come naturally to you, doesn’t mean it’s impossible for you to do

you can do hard things

the bad days can, and will, be forgotten

the good days can, and will, happen

when in doubt, shave your head

you don’t need to or be anyone that you aren’t; who you are is just fine

you’re hurting right now; you haven’t been hurting the entire time

even though it can be hard to remember such a time, there have been moments without pain

it’s okay that you didn’t cherish them at the time

Best way to revange someone is success

JAB AAPKI SUCCESS KISHI KA WEEK POINT HO AUR YE AAP JANTE HO AUR USHKE BAAVJUD BHI AAP KUCH NA KRO TOH USHE BADA MURKH INSAN KOI NAY HAI KASAM SE .

Guys? I think I'm really tired. Sometimes I just sit listening to people and I think: "I really wish I could hear you..." You know? Like with my own ears. I wanna listen to your voice completely unaided by technology. I wish I could hear what you sound like with my own ears. I just wanna hear you without everything sounding so dulled like it's underwater. It's been so freaking long since I really heard someone and I really just wanna hear you talk. I just wanna hear you talking, not even saying much, just talking. For hours and hours if you have the time. And I wish I could say things back and not stutter and sound like an idiot. I wish I could carry a conversation like other people can. I wish I could freaking talk. But I can't talk to you about all the crazy things I think of or listen to all the dumb things you have to say because some guy thought that it was more important for them to drink and drive than it was for me to be able to tell you the joke I heard yesterday the way I heard it said. I just really wish that accident had never freaking happened.

I can do BETTER anywhere but HOME

Last night I had this really secred feeling .I was so hard I was so scared that...........

I hate when ppl judged me smartness parson ,that a students ,or something else like that.

Since than I'll grown up apart from my parents .I just don't feel that connection anymore .the lonely and quite home has become house filled with numb feelings .I couldn't call it home anymore .

I was never home .

It's just place that called home but not really .....
