Check in

I know it’s scary right now. I know the world is hard. We need to be there for each other. Love each other. Care for each other. Check in with yourself. Are you doing okay? Are you really? Check in with yourself friends. Your family. It’s okay to not be okay.

A little life update 23.02.24 — 02.03.24

• I got B- for my Asian History class essay. I was actually very enthusiastic while writing it and it was not the result I expected at all. Also, because this essay costs 25% of the final grade I most likely screwed up my 4.0. So, it threw me out of the rhythm for a few days and made me feel very unmotivated overall. But since now is not the time when I can do nothing I forced myself to get back to work and managed to get over it. Grades aren’t the most important thing at the end of the day. Gaining knowledge, being interested in what you’re doing and having fun are.

• I passed my Material Science final. Don’t know the grade but I got A+ for the course overall. This warms my soul.

• We presented a group work on Wednesday. Went pretty well. We did have some argument the night before (because there are people who don’t show up to the group meeting and then tell “we changed all these things” the night before). We got it sorted out more or less though and the overall presentation looked alright, so I’m at peace now.

• I do have another group work with the same people due Monday. For some reason people who wanted the intermediate deadline to be tonight are exactly the people who didn’t do a thing. How does this work? I’m done with my part though which is nice.

(Our group dynamic isn’t that bad though. The presentation went alright at the end. The person I’m working with on the section of the report assigned to us (current group work) almost done with his part too. The other two people were working on their parts tonight. The last girl is also nice but her time management sucks. So, I’m pretty sure this work will turn out alright too. I just don’t get people sometimes and hate group work overall. But I don’t hate my current group even if I’m whining)

• I got sick on Wednesday (it’s stress, really). So I had to skip my usual Friday volunteering at the theatre. Which I feel bad about because it is the second time in a month already. But I did feel shitty and had fever, so yeah.

It is not all that happened during this time, but this text is already a little too long. I’ll try to better keep up with my posts.

Be healthy, eat well, and don’t forget to rest ✨🫐

I am very tired of seeing DID portrayed as an “evil mental illness” in all media. I don’t have DID, I don’t have loved ones with DID, but even I know that it’s not an evil illness. Please for the love of god stop acting like all people with DID are serial killers dear lord.

If you want to watch a show that features a character with DID who isn’t portrayed as a serial killer, it’s been a few years (so it might not be as good as I remember) but I thought the K-Drama “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” did a better job than anything else I’ve seen. Check trigger warnings before watching it, it’s a heavy watch at times, but I remember loving it :)

Mental health check for those that need it!

Read this ya num-nuts! I know at least 75% of y'all are sad!!

Listen I'm typing this out not only for myself but those those that probably need to hear it.

Do not feel worthless because you think you are falling behind in skills, passions, or even school. You aren't falling behind, you are improving in a way that has a few road blocks. It is important to know that your improvement will come with time, and yes it is a pain in the ass cause you want to be good at it now.

Just remember to keep your head in a positive space or at least try. I know none of you know me but I am a huge pessimist; I am trying to break away from this kind of mind set. And currently I am trying to figure out a new way with drawing and with my school.

I know we all have struggles. Some similar and some different but we still have our struggles and need to push past them. Saying this is easier said than done, trust me I know. But the best thing to do right now is to keep going. If you give up you will never see your progress in the long run. You will even make yourself proud.

So I want this post to give you a least a small positive feeling about yourself. Know that your talent and worth is far more than you give yourself credit for...

Take it from some stranger on the internet, you got this!

repost so others can get this message pls, positive vibes for all

We recorded a thicc episode for you this month with our special guest Sarah, one of the hosts of the podcast Afternoona Asks! Together, we get into the nitty-gritty of red flag and green flag characters and cover a lot of ground: from what makes a red flag red and a green flag green, to the surprising gender dynamics of “flagging” characters at all.

Along the way, we mention a lot of our favorite love interests, including Baek Seon of When the Phone Rings, Mr. Gu of My Liberation Notes, Captain Ri of gateway KDrama Crash Landing on You, and many, many more. 

(If you want an SLL drinking game, take a sip every time Ayanni says "interesting" 🙃)

This post is for anyone who struggles with holidays (especially Christmas time). I just want to say that you are not alone. Whatever your struggles are, whether it’s bad memories, trauma, etc, you are valid and you are not alone. You got this, you can get through this. Today might be harder than a regular day, and that’s okay. It’s okay for you to struggle, and for the day to be difficult. You will persevere. You are strong. I believe in your ability to work through, process, and heal from these struggles.

New Beginnings Are Painful Endings, Darling.

When you are burning and being blamed for the smell of ashes, when you feel like the thunder in the grey skies, when you are tired of this world, come, darling, and fall into my arms. Let the wind wrap around us and blur the night for a little while.

Hey, I’m the Good Witch, and darling, I’m here for you. If you ever need to let your mind scream, come find me.
