Saturday, Oct. 22nd, 2022 Part 2
10:30pm
But today was different. I slept in this morning, and woke up feeling a lot clearer mentally and didn’t feel as physically sick as I have been. I still feel slower and unstable, but I was in a better state than the past month. I felt like dressing up today and tried to find an outfit that would be cool to wear to go out and purchase some new journals and pens.
My sister, Angel, and her girlfriend, Gem, made breakfast and it was nice. I did notice that my mood started to drop as time passed. I was very withdrawn and didn’t feel like talking, but it was okay, I’m hoping I will start to open up more as I get more settled in here in NYC.
I got up from eating breakfast and started washing dishes to do my part in helping out, while Gem and Angel continued to eat and talk. I was getting frustrated with myself because I felt stunted from everything I’ve been through lately. All of a sudden, I started feeling hot, dizzy, and had trouble breathing, I think it was because washing dishes was proving to be more taxing than usual. I ended up being okay eventually.
Right as I was finishing cleaning, Gem called me over, and told me that she and Angel bought tickets to a dance performance for my birthday. I was grateful for the gift and very surprised that they were thinking of my birthday in the midst of all that was happening. But I still didn’t feel moved, I felt dead and empty in response. I did my best to communicate that this was exciting and that I was thankful, but I felt disappointed that I didn’t respond better.
I started to feel unsettled and anxious after that, the restlessness that I have been feeling here lately has been nonstop. Then, Angel was very late getting ready for work and seemed very anxious, paranoid, and rushed. I was just sitting on the couch while they both were rushing around the apartment. Her anxiety was starting to rub off on me, as I was concerned for her, but also uncomfortable with just sitting in the middle of that. She gave me a rushed hug and ran out of the door, and I realized after that I was anxious because I was anticipating for her to snap at me.
I feel like I shouldn’t be here and that it was a mistake for me to move in with them and that I’m not enough, and I thought they felt similar… still do. I’m waiting for the moment this all falls apart, that I screw up or make a mistake so bad that they resent me. Because I don’t trust myself in anything right now or believe in myself.
But, I found out later that Angel felt bad about how she left and said goodbye. It isn’t really hitting me until now that everything was fine and she probably wasn’t even thinking about me. I need to remind myself that I am not resented or being antagonized for being here. I deserve to be helped. I deserve to be loved. I deserve to have the life that I’ve wanted. This is the path needed to get there. I am safe. I am loved and am loving. I am cared for and supported. I will get through this.
Part 1 -- Part 3
Okay that took forever, I’m sorry. Here’s the tutorial on how I made my Journey costume! I’ve included a photoset of the tutorial, and below are the links that will take you to the pattern PDFs (the first is a 24 x 36 file, so happy print tiling!). For Illustrator-savvy folks, you can also dive into the pattern files and manipulate them yourselves. Side note: I am not a professional seamstress/fashion designer, so I’m sorry if there’s inaccuracies or errors or dubious advice, it’s more of a step by step of how I did it with helpful patterns!
Any questions, use the Ask box, also! I’m happy to offer any help or advice! And I’m sorry, but I do not take commissions! Dropbox Folder with all files, including a tiled version for printers that can only print 8.5 x 11 EDIT: Some have been having sizing troubles with the hood lately, I made the face hole small on purpose cause it’s much easier to enlarge it than it is to shrink it. So everyone MAKE SURE to test it on paper then scrap fabric FIRST before you cut into the fabric you are using! EDIT 2: I’ve made a tiled file! But for those that don’t want to tile, if you have a FedEx Office, they have a large format black and white printer that you can take the file to get printed at and it’s less than $20.
Repost if you like to go on adventures! It can even be a meaningless or boring one like to the store or something but can always say you had an adventure. Take a companion so it’s more fun like a friend and if you don’t have one try printing out a face and putting it on a potato then take it with you cause then if you get attacked you can’t throw the potato friend at them and run.
Let me tell you something about me and my journey.
It began when I was 17. One day, I got curious and I bought my first pair of panties and stockings. As these stockings touched my skin, I just felt something. It wasn't just physical pleasure, there was a deep emotional connection to these feelings of femininity. I had heard about submission and sissification online, but it was all in the realm of the unknown.
At first, it was pure wonder. I felt excitement, a bubbling thrill at the thought of what this meant, but there were whispers of fear too. "What if someone finds out? What if it changes me too much?" My mind raced with possibilities. I turned to the internet, and that's where I started to find answers, validation, and even more curiosity.
Each piece of clothing I bought felt like completing a tiny piece of me. The silky touch of the panties, the beauty of the stockings, they brought me so much joy. I found pleasure in the smallest things, in hiding and presenting the clothes, in feeling different. This realization hinted at something bigger, a call to submission.
I started with tasks. Simple ones at first, guided by online instructions or personal intuition. A shaving challenge, following orders from anonymous sources on forums. Every step, every command followed, confirmed my desire to be a submissive sissy. This was me. This was who I was and meant to be. The acts of obedience, the humiliations, the dressing up and surrendering control, each gave me a sense of empowerment.
So, my journey into submission didn't have a dramatic event or wake-up call. It was a series of small steps, revealing to me in giving up control, in being treated as less and finding my worth in my submissiveness.
Craving some summer Sun? We're inviting people around the world to submit their names to be placed on a microchip that will travel to the Sun aboard Parker Solar Probe!
Launching summer 2018, Parker Solar Probe will be our first mission to "touch" a star. The spacecraft - about the size of a small car - will travel right through the Sun's atmosphere, facing brutal temperatures and radiation as it traces how energy and heat move through the solar corona and explores what accelerates the solar wind and solar energetic particles.
Send your name along for the ride at go.nasa.gov/HotTicket! Submissions will be accepted through April 27, 2018.

A Tour of our Moon
Want to go to the Moon?
Let our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter take you there!
Our lunar orbiter, also known as LRO, has been collecting data on lunar topography, temperature, resources, solar radiation, and geology since it launched nine years ago. Our latest collection of this data is now in 4K resolution. This updated "Tour of the Moon" takes you on a virtual tour of our nearest neighbor in space, with new science updates from the vastly expanded data trove.
Orientale Basin
First stop, Orientale Basin located on the rim of the western nearside. It's about the size of Texas and is the best-preserved impact structure on the Moon. Topography data from LRO combined with gravity measurements from our twin GRAIL spacecraft reveal the structure below the surface and help us understand the geologic consequences of large impacts.
South-Pole and Shackleton Crater
Unlike Earth, the Moon's axis is barely tilted relative to the Sun. This means that there are craters at the poles where the sunlight never reaches, called permanently shadowed regions. As a result, the Moon's South Pole has some of the coldest measured places in the solar system. How cold? -410 degrees F.
Because these craters are so cold and dark, water that happens to find its way into them never has the opportunity to evaporate. Several of the instruments on LRO have found evidence of water ice, which you can see in the highlighted spots in this visualization.
South-Pole Aitken Basin
South Pole-Aitken Basin is the Moon's largest, deepest and oldest observed impact structure. Its diameter is about 2,200 km or 1,367 miles across and takes up 1/4 of the Moon! If there was a flat, straight road and you were driving 60 mph, it would take you about 22 hours to drive across. And the basin is so deep that nearly two Mount Everests stacked on each other would fit from the bottom of the basin to the rim. South-Pole Aitken Basin is a top choice for a landing site on the far side of the Moon.
Tycho Crater
Now let's go to the near side. Tycho Crater is 100 million years young. Yes, that's young in geologic time. The central peak of the impact crater likely formed from material that rebounded back up after being compressed in the impact, almost like a spring. Check out that boulder on top. It looks small in this image, but it could fill a baseball stadium.
Aristarchus Plateau
Also prominent on the nearside is the Aristarchus Plateau. It features a crater so bright that you could see it with your naked eye from Earth! The Aristarchus Plateau is particularly interesting to our scientists because it reveals much of the Moon's volcanic history. The region is covered in rocks from volcanic eruptions and the large river-like structure is actually a channel made from a long-ago lava flow.
Apollo 17 Landing Site
As much as we study the Moon looking for sites to visit, we also look back at places we've already been. This is because the new data that LRO is gathering helps us reinterpret the geology of familiar places, giving scientists a better understanding of the sequence of events in early lunar history.
Here, we descend to the Apollo 17 landing site in the Taurus-Littrow valley, which is deeper than the Grand Canyon. The LRO camera is even able to capture a view of the bottom half of the Apollo 17 Lunar Lander, which still sits on the surface, as well as the rover vehicle. These images help preserve our accomplishment of human exploration on the Moon's surface.
North Pole
Finally, we reach the North Pole. Like the South Pole, there are areas that are in permanent shadow and others that bask in nearly perpetual light. LRO scientists have taken detailed brightness and terrain measurements of the North Pole in order to model these areas of sunlight and shadow through time. Sunlit peaks and crater rims here may be ideal locations for generating solar power for future expeditions to the Moon.
LRO was designed as a one-year mission. Now in its ninth year, the spacecraft and the data emphasize the power of long-term data collection. Thanks to its many orbits around the Moon, we have been able to expand on lunar science from the Apollo missions while paving the way for future lunar exploration. And as the mission continues to gather data, it will provide us with many more opportunities to take a tour of our Moon.

WRITING WEDNESDAYS
TEACHER SATURDAYS
I wanted to make something encouraging in this garbage fire of a year. I’ve been reading Dune recently, and the fear quote has been like a mantra to me these past few months. I also combined one of my favorite video games, Journey, in there. Both have a mystical Middle Eastern influence and contain similar themes of perserverence, community, and meditative analysis of life’s obstacles.
"Mythological representations of the world – which are representations of reality as a forum for action – portray the dynamic interrelationship between all three constituent elements of human experience.
The eternal unknown – nature, metaphorically speaking, creative and destructive, source and destination of all determinant things – is generally ascribed an affectively ambivalent feminine character (as the 'mother' and eventual 'devourer' of everyone and everything).
The eternal known, in contrast – culture, defined territory, tyrannical and protective, predictable, disciplined and restrictive, cumulative consequence of heroic or exploratory behavior – is typically considered masculine (in contradistinction to 'mother' nature).
The eternal knower, finally – the process that mediates between the known and the unknown – is the knight who slays the dragon of chaos, the hero who replaces disorder and confusion with clarity and certainty, the sun-god who eternally slays the forces of darkness, and the 'word' that engenders creation of the cosmos."
- From "Maps of Meaning"
"Let me tell you something about nature. Nature never allows you to fall on your face if you take risks - never. It goes like this;
if you laugh you risk appearing to be a fool.
If you weep, you risk appearing to be sentimental.
If you reach out for another, you risk rejection.
If you love, you risk not being loved in return.
If you place your dreams in front of the crowd - as we do - you risk ridicule.
If you go forward in the face of overwhelming odds, you risk failure but risk must be taken for the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, has nothing, does nothing, is nothing. That person may avoid suffering, pain and embarrassment but that individual will not learn, grow, feel, love or change. Only the person who takes risks is truly free."

It's Gonna Be Alright.
Tick tock. This year is just zooming past. I wonder if I’ll ever get a chance to just stop and enjoy it.
It’s been stressful but I know I’m working towards something great. Something that I’ve been wanting. Something that I’ve been needing. Something that’s just for me. Nobody else.
So although the road is long and trying, I know I’ll eventually be alright. Thank you to those who stuck beside me, supporting me. Special thanks to those who didn’t just give up on me, and hung on to me as a friend, because they could see the potential in me. Thank you.
Prague: Continuing…
In Prague, it’s beautiful everywhere and you will enjoy walking! Even if you could easily spend a whole week in the city, I had enough of three days. The morning I arrived, I dropped my backpack immediately and I crossed Charles Bridge to go see Prague Castle in Lesser Town. Since I’m more of an outside person than a museum person, I spent the whole day walking in the small streets around the castle and I came back in the Old Town Square to eat. You’re going to love those buildings which are representatives of Gothic architecture (like the astronomical clock) and I suggest you try to find David Cerny’s controversial sculptures hidden in the city! Unfortunately, I only had one day of sun and it was raining on the second day, but that didn’t stop me from renting a bike to ride along the Vltava River and reach the New Town to see the dancing building. I also went to Petrin Hill for fresh air and since I had a little extra time on the third day, I took a train to go see the Sedlec ossuary in Kutna Hora. It’s worth it if you’ve never seen so many human skeletons, but the journey was a little long for such a short visit. Prague is definitely a must-see city and you don’t even have to plan your stay before going there; just walk the streets and you’ll see great things everywhere!
“I almost decided to stay in Prague forever” Alexia mentioned in one of her Instagram posts, check it out @me.myself.and.a.backpack.
Alexia traveled around in Europe during the summer of 2014 and she is studying master in Pharmaceutical Science not Medicine! :D
Thank you so much Alexia for sharing your experience in Prague! Please join her journey on Instagram and have a splendid weekend!
Kimshi Princess: Best Korean Food in Berlin!
As you can see we and Berlin are into the asian food culture. Kimshi Princess is known for their Kimshi, which is a korean dish made with cut cabbage, radish, and scallions and a seasoned paste of red pepper, garlic, ginger, sugar, and fish sauce, salted shrimp, or kelp powder. It is a easy going food to do yourself just chop the vegetables and add some more ingredients and it will get pickled in over some days. But if you are on your traveling journey to experience authentic food and local restaurants, Kimshi Princess is the perfect place to eat! Kimshi Princess is located in Kreuzberg, Skalitzer Strasse 36 / Manteuffelstrasse. Whereas you can explore and experience a lot of local bars and restaurants. The restaurant also serve korean barbecue, as you can see in the pictures, they put the grill on the table and the meat and the belonging vegetables with the korean seasoning is delicious! If you are into that, otherwise you have to try it! The meat can be decided to be beef, pork, chicken, seafood or vegetarian, so it is a place for everyone!

Hii Tumblr people,
This is my first post on this account or this app in general. I came here with the intention of expressing myself, whether in my own words, in other's words, pictures, thoughts, feelings and much more.
I am turning 20 this year. I've seen and heard people say that your 20s are made just for you..that you should spend it alone to discover yourself. And, I want to do just that but I also want to record it. Leave some type of memory about it behind.
I've tried Journaling but I guess it's just not for me. So here I am. Ready to embark and happy to receive you people's support.
Unpopular opinion, but the moment I stopped listening to videos from self improvement channels like TheWizardLiz or Simonesquared is the moment I started improving.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, as I find some of their advices truly helpful, but consuming their media equals to trying to search to further “how to do x, y, z”, when in reality you are once again stopping yourself from doing better (or something at all).
New!!! Discover your higher self - Raise your frequency The themes repeat 7 times once for every chakra healing and recharging.This music - video is created with the intent of opening the listeners perception to the familiar sounds, of Pythagoras first studied instrument- a corde - (The strings).

empty faces
It is another kind of heartbreak to realize that I still haven’t found the soul I am searching for in the person, I hoped so much would reflect my perception of perfection after spending so much time searching in empty faces and beliving that this one has a heart that would mirror my own Just to see they are just another empty face in the crowd of lost lovers I got lost in as well Only this time I painted their face so it is easier to pretend and hold onto something that isn’t even there It is so tiring to search without finding or find without keeping because even if they leave it wouldn’t be their missing that would hurt but knowing that nothing has changed I am still on my journey through empty faces until finding the other wanderer who searches for a face in so much emptiness as well
