#NonReaction

Life Lens - Entry 160

Letting People Be I realized I was really maturing when I started to understand that not every situation needs my immediate reaction. There was a time when I felt compelled to respond to every issue or get involved in every conflict, but I’ve learned that sometimes, the best move is to step back and let things unfold on their own. I’ve come to accept that people will make their own choices,…

kaido and nendo casually watching saiki freak out over his crush and barely reacting or caring about why is so funny to me

things you said after you kissed me + landoscar

Lando didn’t think before he surged forward and pressed his lips against Oscar’s. He could only feel the slightly chapped lips and his own beating heart. He stilled for one endless moment before he pulled back.

“I shouldn’t have done that, sorry.” Lando’s voice sounded fragile to his own ears, the breathless laugh he pushed out falling too quickly to sound natural. The distance he put between them wasn’t enough, the need to run thrumming beneath his skin. Lando pushed his hand through his hair, an unsteady smile across his lips. “Think I’ve had a bit too much to drink mate. Hey, I’ll see you Monday, yeah?” Oscar blinked at him, lips barely closing, mind moving a bit too slow to keep up. Lando was gone before he could think to respond.

apparently today my parents' dog found a new structural weakness in my paternal grandfather's back gate, let herself out, and took herself to recess at a nearby elementary school, where she spent a good five minutes playing with the children before a recess monitor noticed her and drove her back home

old man seven regenerating into a female eight is somehow funnier than him being a woman and then regenerating into a much younger woman.

eight has to deal with ALL of that AND she has amnesia AND then she has to remember that she’s never been a lady before so it’s even weirder for her now that she is.

If you take on the goal of building peace within yourself, that means you will need to focus on building 3 essential qualities: self-awareness, non-reactiveness, and compassion. Self-awareness is needed to stay attuned to the way your emotions change and to not allow the narratives that are built around tension to take control. Non-reactiveness helps you slow down during difficult moments so you can ask yourself how you genuinely want to show up instead of just reacting defensively. Compassion is necessary so that you can be more gentle with yourself and others. Strengthening these internal qualities will help you more smoothly ride the ups and downs of life. — Yung Pueblo #yungPueblo #peace #selfAwareness #compassion #nonReactiveness https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsVVjqOni_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

nichijou episode 8 part 31. good illustration of how in boke-tsukkomi exchanges the tsukkomi part completes the joke, not necessarily in the sense that it completes the humour and therefore makes you laugh, but in the sense that its required in order to maintain the pace and flow from joke to joke

i have no idea if i posted about this in the past, but several months ago i was walking to work and encountered an unleashed dog i'd never seen before wandering up and down the sidewalk unaccompanied. i was 1. very stressed about getting to work in time to start an experiment 2. extremely wary about getting within biting range of literally any unknown and especially un-vouched-for dog due to personal experiences with abruptly reactive dogs 3. just not really feeling like dealing with having to potentially call the owner and hang around for them to show up

so after standing there for a minute watching the dog circle around a tree on the sidewalk in a pretty small radius and occasionally paw at one specific house's gate, and trying to figure out how to make sure it didn't run into the street and get hit by a car, i just like. let it in to the yard it was pawing at. and left

this decision has haunted me ever since, on the grounds that 1. what, was i seriously just too lazy and/or chickenshit to check the dog's tag for contact info 2. why did i believe the dog that it lived there

however

at last

i have SEEN THE DOG AGAIN. it was with its family and it lives in the house next door to the yard i put it in. meaning that even though my reasoning was only moderately okay at the time it has nonetheless ALL WORKED OUT FOR THE BEST and i can STOP WORRYING ABOUT THIS DOG FINALLY
