10K Views – Thank You

When I started my WordPress blog journey, I never imagined it would grow the way it has. Now, six years later, I’ve reached a new milestone — 10,000 views. To some, that might seem small, but to me, it means everything. Every view represents someone taking a moment to read, reflect, and share in the things I’ve written. I never thought I’d make it to this point, and I’m truly grateful. So to…

Reflections on Žižek, Trump, and the Decline of Empires

I recently revisited Slavoj Žižek in an interview he did with the Oxford Union, and I found myself both irritated and reluctantly agreeing with much of what he said. This conversation is less a critique of Žižek himself and more a reflection on how his arguments intersect with my own thoughts about politics, culture, and the trajectory of America. Below, I’ve captured key points from my own…

[vocabulary-altering-posts]

you really need to raise your standards for what's considered "a phrase" because if it only makes sense in the specific context of the post it was originally found in and it isn't repeatable in other situations, that's not a phrase that has entered the lexicon, that's just something someone said one time.

i started this thing last week i need all the posts i can handle

What doesn't alter your vocabulary may alter, or may have already altered, someone else's. This is not about adding to The General Lexicon - I have an entire tag for things that change this site as a whole, which has a higher bar; this is largely about novelty and humor. This is us curb-stomping whatever the fuck we want into the right form for our needs, whatever those needs may be, including altering aspects of the phrase to fit the necessary format or context. It's a linguistic shotgun.

HABITS TO IMPLEMENT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS

You can choose whatever time you’d like to say positive and affirmative statements to yourself. When saying affirmations, use the first person and present tense. E.g I am healthy, I take care of myself, and I am strong academically. 

Affirmations are so helpful because our brains struggle to tell the difference between imagination and reality. So, when we visualise ourselves doing something that's not actually happening, it stimulates the brain areas as if we were actually experiencing it.

So, repetitive affirmations will encourage your brain to treat it as fact. While this only works to an extent, it does help with self-sabotaging thought actions and thought patterns. 

EATING MINDFULLY

Eating mindfully is the practice of when consuming anything, you put your full focus on that meal. There are no devices that may distract you, you’re eating slowly and paying close attention to how different meals make your body feel. 

To eat mindfully, focus on the time it takes for you to finish your food. Is it enough time for your body to give signals about your meal? To chew thoroughly? Another thing is to turn off and eliminate any distractions. Such as being on any devices or multitasking. 

Eating too quickly means that your body may not have enough time to tell you that it's full. When you eat mindfully, it's easier for your body to register when it's full. Furthermore, it's easier to distinguish between true hunger and non-hunger triggers for eating. 

CREATIVE OUTLETS

For a lot of us, 2024 was a stressful year. We’re constantly hustling and not letting ourselves process what's happening in and around us. Having a creative outlet helps us to release and detach from those emotions. It allows us to experience that feeling, but leave it all behind in the end. 

Some examples are painting, clay artwork, creative writing, designing, sewing, crocheting and music. There’s a lot more you could do, but ultimately you have to do what's best for yourself. 

LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

At least one thing each day: aim to learn something completely new to you. Other than the fact that you are learning something new, it allows for your curiosity to grow and expand outside of your typical education institution. With curiosity, comes with the skill of being able to explore complications and come up with solutions. 

There are many ways you can learn, but I think the best way is by coming up with your questions in an area you’re unfamiliar with and then looking for an answer to your question. 

My favourite way has to be watching video essays. Doesn’t always have to be social commentary, but anything that seems interesting enough for me. 

COMPLIEMENT-A-DAY

I love receiving compliments from strangers. It leaves the widest smile on my face and I swear I feel so much lighter like I’m floating around. However, I never think to give a compliment to someone else who I don’t know. So, whenever you see the cutest outfit or the perfect lip combo, make sure to say it!

For those who may be shy in those kinds of interactions, practice saying it in your head. You don’t have to say it out loud to them, but thinking positively of other people will reflect on how you think about yourself. 

That is it for this post, thank you for reading until the end ♥︎ Until next time, take care of yourself ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹

KIND REMINDERS 🤍

1. You are someone’s dream girl exactly the way you are right now.

We put so much emphasis on growth and getting to that “next best place”, which is fine, but we always forget that we deserve self-love as we are right now. It does not mean that you aren’t at your “best” physically and/or mentally that you aren’t deserving of love, kindness, and respect.

2. Perspective is everything

Stop stressing over that one bad grade you received at school. In ten years, you won’t even remember what teacher gave it to you. Focus your energy on things that’ll have lasting impacts. When you look back on your life, you want to see the beauty of it, not the anguish.

3. Growth isn’t linear

Don’t blame yourself for messing up. We aren’t perfect and we are bound to mess up every once in a while. Learn from your mistakes, and try to not repeat them. And if you do, that’s okay, there’s always another time. Growth has no time limit.

4. You are not a bad person

If you are sitting here constantly asking yourself if you are a bad person or underserving of love, I’m here to tell you one thing: bad people don’t worry about whether they are perceived as “good” or “bad”. Give yourself grace, and stop letting your overthinking consume you.

So much love,

A girl unfiltered 💋

Manifestation is a synonym for reflection.

Warning: this is a going to be a long post!

i feel like so many manifestors have truly lost the plot for what manifestation is. a lot of people don't understand that it's just another word for reflection, so hopefully this will help some of you. also, i mean reflection in terms of the 3d being a mirror of the 4d.

┈┈ 　⊹　The relationship between the 4d and the 3d

The 4d: the inner reality which is the source for the 3d. The 3d: the outer reality which is a reflection of the 4d. Exist in Mind = Exist in reality Exist in Mind -> Exist in reality Let's say a scene of you seeing a red car, a scene of your Sp texting you, and a scene of you having a donut all exist in your mind right now. If you kept those scenes alive in your imagination, that will result in a red car driving past you, your sp texting you, and you having that donut all in reality. That is what you call manifestation. also you are not in charge of making the 3d reflect the 4d and you don't even need to make that happen because it just does. the 3d is always reflecting the 4d and it does that on its own. so remove the added stress on yourself of worrying about "omg how can i get reality to reflect this", no, place the focus back on you.

┈┈ 　⊹　Causality

Cause = Mind Effect = Reality Cause -> Effect Mind -> Reality

Cause: you persisted in having a job Effect: you got a job Cause: you persisted in being unloved Effect: you're unloved by those around you Cause: you persisted in your Sp texting you Effect: your sp texted you can you change an effect with an effect? no. can you change an effect without changing the cause? no. can you get an effect without having the cause? no. so for those of you who are so stubborn about removing your focus from the 3d and just focusing on changing your mind, realize you are in your own fucking way. just do the work change the cause and you will experience a different effect. and again, please stop worrying and giving into the fear that you will not get the desired effect even with the desired cause. that just doesn't make sense. it is guaranteed that whatever exists in your mind will exist in your reality. that is the law.

┈┈ 　⊹　You don't need physical action.

think about those who try to change reality with physical action but never succeed because their mindset contradicts the action. they're trying to cause something to happen by changing the effect while keeping the cause the same. Cause leads to effect, always. Mind leads to reality, always. that is why we don't need to take physical action, because it's not about reality, it's about you. "You cant solve a mental problem with a physical solution" - Nero Knowledge. If your mindset is always like "Sp has no interest in me and Sp will never love me", then even if you follow your Sp's page or messaged them, you're still going to end up with a reality that reflects your mindset. so instead of wasting all of your time, focus, and effort on changing things with physical action, change them with mental action. and this is also why some people try to use methods like the 369 method but never end up with their desires, because their mindset towards it still hasn't changed. you can play all of the subliminals in the world and script all you want, but if your mind is against those things and hasn't changed, then don't expect reality to change.

┈┈ 　⊹　Manifestation

From the dictionary: an event, action, or object that clearly shows or��embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea. Manifestation: When something from the mind is physically expressed into reality. other ways you can think about it is something intangible turning into the tangible or exists mentally = exists physically. think about a printer as well. reality is the printed copy of your mind. your mind is the original and reality is the copy. when reality copies the original, that is manifestation. manifestation is actually really easy and something that you don't even need to figure out how to do. your mind is a manifestation machine that works already. all you need to do is focus on what you want manifested.

┈┈ 　⊹　Extra Notes about Manifestation

you are always manifesting: manifestation isn't something you turn on or off. even if you don't feel like it or you're not intentionally doing it, you're always manifesting. your mind already knows how to manifest for you: so let it. stop trying to take it's job of figuring out how you're going to manifest something, and do your job of focusing on what you want manifested. you can manifest anything: if it can exist in your mind, then it can exist in reality. the only limits you have to what you can manifest are the ones you place upon yourself. it doesn't have to exist in reality first: it's actually the opposite, for something to exist in reality it must first exist in the mind. so if right now you don't see it or have it in reality, that's okay. all you need is to see it and have it in your mind for reality to reflect that.

┈┈ 　⊹　How to manifest

for this i'll use the example of manifesting an Sp and a phone. step one: figure out what it is you want - for my sp to text me - to get a new phone

step two: figure out how you can make this exist in your mind - for the text ill just visualize it happening every time i think about it - for the phone ill just talk to myself about it every time i think about it step three: focus on it existing and being done in your mind - every time i think about the text ill continuously remind myself that i got it by visualizing it. - this is me focusing on it already being done. - every time i think about the phone ill continuously remind myself that i have it by talking to myself about how much i love it. that's literally all you have to do. the rest is for your mind to handle, but either way all you need to do is focus on what you do want manifested. since it exists in your mind it will exist in reality. just let it exist in your mind be aware of the fact that it's yours now and stick to that. reality will reflect your mind as it always has and always will.
