Goals - Blog Posts
What does the process to an outcome normally look like? If I look back on my past experienc
es, on things that I managed to achieve, there was an element of curiosity and fun to it.
Until the novelty wore off and things go hard. And during those moments that's when you ask yourself why you started to begin with? What would happen if you don't give up? And what kind of character are you choosing to portray in this part of your story?📖📖
Like if you look at your favourite show, the ending wouldn't be that satisfying without the ups and downs that the characters face. And sometimes the show is so good you don't want it to end.
Of course, there are times when you decide to take a break to rest and re-centre yourself. And there are times when you choose to give it all up because it's no longer aligned with the goal you had in mind. But it's all about taking note of your patterns when you are in that "hard/difficult" phase.
Do you start procrastinating. Do you move on to a new project or do you choose to forget about the task all together?
Normally this is where your character is being tested.
So if you need to go on your knees and ask God for strength, do so. If you need to cry it out and call friend do so. If you need to watch a motivational video - do what you need to in order to move forward and keep the momentum.
Because it's in that phase that growth happens because now you are surpassing your limits. You are getting that character development which takes you to the next level.❇️💯
So fall in love with that process because that's the most beautiful and impactful part of the journey. Make sure you're having fun even in the midst of difficulties cause at some point,it's gonna have to end and the ending has to be just as beautiful. It's the messy middle that we need to learn how to master so that we reach the beautiful ending. 🪷🪷
And with that, the year 2024 has begun. Happy New Year to you all. 🎊🎊
With the new year comes the buzz about new year resolutions. What goals, intentions or habits are you setting for yourself this year?
My main intentions for this year are:
Following my joy🪇
Being rooted in the present moment 🌴
And showing up more authentically 🐦
And as someone who focuses more on the process rather the the goal, the habits/systems I'm implementing include:
Creating bi weekly content📝📋
Taking daily evening walks 👣🚶♀
Listening to self development podcasts 🔊
Remember, when it comes to goal/intention setting, it's more than just what you want to achieve but who you want to be and who you want to show up as. And that is reflected by your daily habits/actions.
_You can do this!! So what's one simple habit are you choosing to focus on?🦋
In the past few years my activity on tumblr has been irregular. I have written original posts but also did a great deal of reblogging and quoting, which are both very nice but are not why I want to have a blog. For me it’s a place for intellectual exercise and an outlet of thoughts. I want to be more focused here to chisel my mind and crystallize my opinions and thoughts, therefore I will make an attempt at returning to exclusively post original content and I want to be more committed. If I could write here everyday I’d be thrilled but that’s probably way too much to be crammed into my schedule--which I admit is not full momentarily but airy spaces of time for relaxation are what keep me mentally fit so I don’t intend to deprive myself of them.
This is it for now, writing it down only so that I will be more motivated to follow through.
"What direction - Life begins at the intersection"
It's a Switchfoot quote. OK, I know they didn't actually invent the line but it's in one of their best songs: Faust, Midas and Myself. This piece of music is more literary, than most of the contemporary novels. I'm not gonna add much about the lyrics but the basic question which it implies is whether our goals and dreams are well-thought-out - if we could have them all.
Recently I've been given/offered grand opportunities. One is: two contract offers from a good-named publishing company. It was sort of a before-the-right-time because I decided to continue perfecting my book. I don't even know why I tried to catch their attention. But the amazing thing is, that it worked easy as cake. WOW! Though there's clearly not much that I did. The whole situation is only a link of favourable but un-controlled events. For which I am really grateful.
I must admit, that it doesn't make me special, no matter how much I feel that way. At best, it's a special piece of art, which is worth the mention. But me? Out of the picture. Life often brings us to unprecedented intersections. We are to choose the direction. But do we choose wisely? No. (It was a very strong, firm no...) You know, we could be anyone. Life has no limits at all. Our beliefs, however, can lock us away from the best existing possibilities. We really do believe, that we can't be big people, successful, or simply happy. We let the popular concept take over: we are under too much weight to be getting anywhere in our lives. But in fact, there is no place, nodirection, which we could not choose. I guess the metaphor is as complete as ever...
If it leaves open questions, then answer them, it's on purpose!
Randomness rules!
Cry-laughing at this random dude buying BottASS photo, that Valtteri gave the Finnish broadcast team, with a Louis Vuitton jacket in the middle of the closing show 😂
"Look at the ass!!"
2025 vision board 🥰
what happens when two dramatic bitches like Geralt and Aragorn visit the same tavern on the same night and there’s only one corner table for them to brood at in a solitary fashion, would they take turns or share a booth while simply refusing to acknowledge each other’s existence

Using a series of sensors, Dua’s bot detects when a person is about to run into something and beeps to them. The project took her a total of four days to build. Her prize is every Marvel fan’s dream.

my goal is to find tiny low rise shorts that fit me so good for this summer omg
For the best viewing experience, use desktop and click through the frames. Some parts get a little confusing on mobile, but nothing you can't figure out.
Heyo, I got it done finally. Never mind the lack of backgrounds. Please reblog and leave notes for me to adoringly not know how to respond to.
More commentary under the cut to avoid clutter. (And edit notes)
EDIT- This has already circulated quite a lot already, but I added a line that I accidentally cut. (end edit)
I had gotten thinking about Avatar the Last Airbender when Zuko confronted Ozai during the eclipse invasion. Zuko gave a little speech, and I took that, made some alterations, and that's what this is.
This also expresses my desire for Hunter to be able to do magic now, because Flapjack is still there, just in a slightly different way.
The fully animated bit was honestly just supposed to be two frames, but I made some posing whoopsies and apparently fixing that required animation. Don't question my logic, it worked out in the end. I'll make a dedicated post for it later, so keep an eye out for that. I just want this to gain some traction first.
EDIT 2- There's now a separate post for just the gif. I also rearranged some paragraphs and altered the formatting in the commentary. Comic was not changed. (End edit)
the graveyard is definitely the best spot for napping
This was a good episode

Nighttime brain snacks
Planning for the future with my favorite planner from Lavendaire. So glad to have it after its turbulent journey on the high seas.
It came! And it’s snowing - so it’s pretty much Christmas right now.
The dilemma - my goal is to read all the books on my bookshelf that I haven’t read - approximately 27 and I'm 6 books in. I've been really good about not adding to that but couldn't help myself and adopted these two today at work. Approx 29 for the year...
not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

I currently am working full time this summer until university resumes classes in August, and I am worn out by the time I get home, but that is not going to stop me from achieving these things! I plan on utilizing my mornings before work the most since I know I'll be incredibly tired afterward.
The collage image shown is not my own work! It was taken from pinterest!! Will be using my own images here soon!!
