In the same way giving a hug gets you a hug Holding someone's hand means someone holding your hand We might not be able to be our own knights that get us through hardships, but we can be each others The capabilities of ours that don't serve us, could be exactly what another needs Even when it feels like we have to make these journeys alone, or when it feels like we are alone, they're only sections of the story. Some things need done solo, and there's no shame in doing it scared, doing it hesitantly, afraid or even in tears. But know that you're more than capable - even on your own - and you'll be better for it once complete. It's worth getting through, in your own way, on your own time. And after, you'll reach obstacles others are at, and you'll surpass them together Hand in hand You're never alone in spirit, and won't be alone in body forever

@minors on this website:

You 👏 are 👏 in 👏 public 👏

Your blog is public, your posts are public. There is actually a setting to change this if you want to; otherwise literally anyone can and will interact. Stop advertising your age (and mental illnesses, etc) and block adults yourself if you want to.

If you wouldn't walk through a crowd of strangers wearing your personal info on a billboard or expecting nobody over 18 to so much as glance at you, don't do it online.

it’s ok to survive out of spite but don’t forget that good things are coming too

"Yeah, I'm a major" "Oh! In what? :O" "AGE"

I think it'd be funny, since anyone under 18 are typically called 'minors', if everyone above 18 would be called 'majors'

Dear cool-looking-blogs, I'm not a minor and my site is SFW unless we count the occasional dark-themed post relating to mental health topics, now please stop blocking me T^T Sincerely, a person who just wants to like your posts

I do not know how to explain this any clearer to those scammy porn bots, but if a scammy porn blog, with nothing but graphic images and links leading outside the site, follows me - I will block and report them Randomly following me just makes me aware of you, and nothing about my blog should entail that I'd enjoy such a blog And every creepy loser that comments 'message me sweetie' under vent posts on my side blog - the very same goes for you Blocked and reported, let's never do this again

It gets better It does, I promise If you needed that today, if you needed reassurance to keep going - that it's worth going through, keeping on for - this is it It gets better. Even if not today, even if not tomorrow, it will And it is worth it, you owe it to yourself to see that better tomorrow I won't say it isn't hard, that wanting to give up isn't understandable, but you've gone too far, and put up with too much to deny yourself of what you deserve now You owe it to yourself to hold on - do it for you. You are worthy of betterment, of love, happiness and care And it will come to you Be kind to yourself, things will get better

Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI ​​looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.

Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.

You're allowed to feel your emotions in any way they come They can be weird, strong, irrational, and even, incorrect. When we feel very strongly, we aren't always in our 'right mind', and we might feel ways that are unfair, even untrue, and 'overreactive' That doesn't make you 'bad', but what you choose to do, can. What we do with these feelings, choosing to hold onto them, insisting on them, and preforming actions you wouldn't when calm, is bad. And that can be held against you. Even though as stated, we often aren't in our 'right minds', such doesn't give us permission to be mean, aggressive, hurtful, or anything else besides 'emotional' You can feel your emotions, you're allowed to talk them through, and to do things to help you understand them, work through them, relieve or distract yourself from them. But it's not okay to do what they make you think about It's alright if feelings are tricky, if you have to step away during, or apologize after, it's okay Just don't let them control you, and don't defend what they made you do

And it's alright if you need help with that You're not a bad person for how you feel, only for how you allow feelings to make you act. And mistakes happen, own them and move forward with your head a little higher, and chest a little lighter

You're going to be okay <3

Trauma is such a funny thing Maybe it's only funny to me, cause if I don't laugh about it, I'm gonna cry - and I've done too much of the latter to want to continue that. But it's literally like your own brain personified a police dog that doesn't understand it's retired/off-duty. You get 'overreactive' and everyone around you doesn't understand why, and sometimes, neither do you Your brain just hears a string of familiar words, sees a particular color of wall paint, senses a certain smell, or any other form of sensation-combination that sparks a memory And your 'dog-brain' goes "I know what follows-up after this" and as if a burglar just bashed through the window, it barks and barks and barks until you remove yourself from the situation Not grasping that everyone who jiggles the handle of the door to your house intends to rob. Sometimes it's just a friend saying 'hello' But all dog-brain has is the replay of memories of a bad-guy who did the very same from years long ago Sometimes, we can't recall why someone reaching their arms up, stretching, makes us flinch. Why certain sentences make us freeze in our tracks. Or why we feel a need to justify ourselves at every turn. Sometimes, we just know 'something bad once followed these acts', and we react accordingly Being 'overreactive', quick and alert, is often what kept us safe. And brain's main job is to keep us safe So, it barks Sometimes at nothing, sometimes at something It doesn't need to have 'been worse' to warrant a reaction And you don't owe anyone an explanation Just because dog-brain is wrong, doesn't mean ignoring it will help, you gotta let it sniff the hand of the friend so better memories become associated with a jiggling handle And if that takes time, that's okay It gets easier

I have a 1,735-day streak on duolingo - that's 4 years, 8 months, and 30 days of my life; if my math doesn't fail me (it might be) And I'm thinking about letting it end 1: I haven't felt like I've learned anything in a long time. I just go through motions, picking choices, being told it's wrong without the reason why - it's a memory game more than anything. I know random words with no concept on how to use them. As great of a building block, and place to start, as it is, I feel I've just simply outgrown it. Even restarted a language I finished the course of just for extra practice. But I've realized it's not really helping me with spelling or knowing how to properly utilize words It's beginning to feel like an obligation, a chore without reward. And now that it's replacing human workers with AI, I don't really even feel bad. Cause 2: as great of a tool as AI is, I don't feel it's come far enough to be as accurate as a fluent human could. And this single act made Duolingo obsolete in my mind. They really just said AI is a better translator than humans, so why should human's even bother if that's the case? They just demonstrated it won't help in the job field, so outside learning a language due to connecting with family, there's no reason to learn a language that AI couldn't assist with instead They hurt themselves, and the lives of every worker they had. I appreciate their goal, and all they've done But I personally think I'm done

Why am I just now finding out about the Vocaloid 6 lite editor? Has that been a thing since it first released? Something tells me no,, Like, you're telling me I can actually buy and use V6 banks with only mild limitation for just the cost of the bank? You telling me I can use Kazehiki for $90 instead of having to fork up an extra $220 for the editor? You're tellin' me it'll just be like Utau? And I can only have one track at a time, but no note or editing limitations, unlike V3's tiny editor? This sounds like the most perfect thing possible for me!! My likeliness to support V6 just went up a whole lot more!!
