Sara Ranmaru really stressed can you help

“Ranmaru! Oh my god where were you? You look sickly! Do you have any idea how long you were gone?”

“Uh… no?”

“Two days! Ranmaru I thought you were dead!”

(“Two days? Probably slept in there longer than I have in a while.”)

“I… I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize! I’m just glad you’re okay! Where were you?”

(“Oh right, Safalin probably didn’t want to reveal that she’s here by talking to Sara. Crap.”)

“Charging room…”

“Where’s that?”

“Hinako told me about it… I’ll tell you later.”

(“God let’s hope Sara doesn’t talk to Hinako about that, or that Hinako is willing to lie for me. She’ll wanna know how I knew… I should have thought of a better excuse…”)

“Well, I’m just glad you’re okay. You’re a precious friend to me… I just… (‘I can still hear Sara speaking, but her words are a jumble of static.’)

“I don’t want to hurt you, Ranmaru, my precious… friend.”

(“Wgh…what…?!”)

“Ranmaru! You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”

“I’m… fine. H-hey, someone asked you a question.”

“They say that “Ranmaru seems stressed, can you help”. Jeez…”

“Of course I can! Ranmaru, anytime you feel stressed, you can come to me, okay?”

“I don’t want you disappearing again. I care about you, and I want you to get better. You’re a dear friend to me. Okay?”

“Heh, okay.”

“Now, Anzu was about to do my makeup. Feel free to join us, if you’d like! Remember I’m here for you. Ranmaru, stay strong.”

“You… too.”

(“What was that? That image… scene? Did that happen? It hurts…”)

“What, to think Sara would friendzone you like that?”

(“The way she looked… paired with what she said… it can’t be true. That didn’t happen, it’s just my imagination playing cruel tricks on me.”)

Presidents

I thought I’d better do a little bit of research into all of the presidents, that way I can really research into the ones that interest me most at a later date- I wanted to started from 1900 and I went up to 1950, I hope to cover before and after this time period at a later day too :) I also hope to cover the PMs and other world leaders who were very influential. What I love about my research is that I’m always finding new things to research off of the back of research.

hey guys! i’m back from my conference and i braved the single digit weather again and my roommate having a flu, so.. but truly, it was a great experience! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

hey guys! i know i posted not even 3 weeks ago that i came back from a conference, but guess what? i’m going on another one! this time i will be away at jan. 31 - feb. 2, which i have a queue set up so i can keep everything updated. 

wish me luck - i’m going to be in single digit weather again! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

dosesofgrace replied to your post “happy new year, guys! i pray that 2019 is a year full of unexpected...”

Same to you! :)

thank you! ily, talita! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

guys, i got the job!! i’m so excited!! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

i’ve got a job interview today... please pray for me!! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

so long story short - my friend recently quit her job because of the toxic environment there and i’m very happy that she’s out of that environment but not even twenty minutes after she quit, she texted me saying that she felt like a loser for being unemployed. and i get that it’s the pressure put on us, but as someone who has been unemployed since sept. of last year and just got fired from her freelancing job, i felt like it was sort of a blow to me. then, tonight as i was talking to her about something else, she texts me and talks about how she’s in the same spot of life i am and she was calling herself a loser and she was so upset that and angry and i just... i know she isn’t meaning to make digs at me, but i can’t help but feel like she’s indirectly calling me a loser too because she knows that i’m in the same life spot (i talked to her in depth about my feelings about it just prior to her quitting) and now i just... i feel terrible

[tatianasantodomingos]

when someone you once considered a friend is not happy that you come in to volunteer your whole friday to do a job that someone abandoned with no preparation or announcement and they take digs that you have no life and that they’re living their life because they have two jobs and barely have time to do anything but then they cry because they can’t handle the responsibility of said jobs 

[tatianasantodomingos]

i graduated high school the first week of january and tonight my family and i went out to have a celebration dinner. my dad told our waiter that i’d just graduated and our waiter got a few employees to congratulate me like they do when you celebrate a birthday and sing to you. they didn’t but they did congratulate me and it was fun! 

[tatianasantodomingos]

hey guys! sorry for not posting about it a couple of days ago, but i was away at a conference and i had a whole queue for while i was gone but i’m back now and ready to get warm from all the snow we just left! hope you guys are doing well. <3

[tatianasantodomingos]

um... so i just told this guy who wants me to go on this conference that i was tight on money and wanted to know how sure he was about me not having to pay for the housing too and he replied “for you, entirely sure” 

umm.... that’s um... very poetic?? 

[tatianasantodomingos]

it’s been a while!

hey guys, it’s been quite some time! i’ve also gotten new followers in the same time, so i was thinking about updating you guys about what’s going on in my life/getting to know me! 

my name is ryan

i’m 19 years old, but i will be 20 on december 10th of this year (oh god how am i this old already?? i’ve literally had this blog since i was at least 15. god i’m so old) 

i have a interest in all royal families and history, especially ancient history 

some of my others interests involve k-pop, cooking and music (which you can see on my other blog. hmu if you wanna know my url) 

i just got two 6 week old kittens a few days ago... their names are harry and mittens and they are the most adorable little things 

for the past 7 months i’ve been working as an intern and i’ve learned how to film and edit videos, lead a whole team and plan events 

in january i went on my first ever business conference, along with it being my first ever trip by myself. it was a good experience for me, despite having a breakdown the first night, because i built some great relationships and it had renewed a passion for the sound in me (since i work with it so much, sometimes it’s hard for me to be passionate about it or not feel burned out.. i appreciate those small things that help me fall back in love with it)

a few weeks back i went to the first wedding i can remember. i didn’t know the people, but that’s because i was hired to be their sound person. even though my boss said he knew i could do it myself and believed in me, he showed up to be my supporter. 

the guy who i was in love with for years and the one who broke my heart... he ended up getting married and they celebrated a year together a few months ago, and even though i still get upset about him sometimes, i’ve moved on and it’s great when i see him on my social media or in person and i don’t feel anything anymore. we don’t speak at all anymore and that bothers me sometimes but i feel like for right now, that’s the best 

the last 8-ish months have been a crazy ride, but in a good way? like, i never imagined that i would move on from that guy, i never thought that i’d get the internship... and i definitely never thought of myself as becoming a producer in my church, going on my first ever business conference alone, building great relationships with my co-workers and friendships with people when a year ago i would’ve been so nervous to talk to someone new. i’m also learning how to not apologize for every small mistake i make, or just apologize just to apologize.. (i had the most horrible day at work last night and had to call one of my co-workers to come in and fix it for me, and i only apologized twice for having to call him in on his weekend off... which is such an improvement considering he knew me when i would apologize for anything, and one time he told me i said ‘sorry’ too much, to which i responded ‘sorry’) i’m learning how to be more confident in myself as well. it’s taking a while, but i can definitely tell there’s so big of an improvement already. although there are still places where i’m not as confidence as i hope to be, but i’m getting there. i’m confident that i can run my department at work as my boss is on a vacation for a few weeks, i’m confident in myself as i produce, i’m confident in when i talk now... and i never, never thought my anxiety would get better! like, the first day at work, i learned so much and i came home and cried because i was so anxious and felt so overwhelmed.. now, i’m still anxious from time to time, but it’s so much better. (one of my friends who i went on the conference with has known me since november. she and i were on the conference and we really bonded, so i told her ‘i’m naturally a nervous person and me being a producer is a very big step. i’m always nervous i’m gonna mess up’ ... but today she was there with me as i was having all these problems and after our co-worker left and i started working on what i had to do before the service started, she said to me ‘you’re acting very calm. i was wondering how you were so calm when he was fixing everything.’ and i told her ‘trust me, i wouldn’t have been this calm three months ago’ but then it got me thinking... and i wasn’t really nervous at all? like, i was nervous and scared that we’d have to go unplugged for the whole thing, but i was calm and that surprised me when it dawned on me because that is something unlike me. especially since i started having problems afterwards and i had her stay back with me for a little bit to make sure everything was okay) 

i’m also really happy. :) sometimes i just think of how great my life has been the past few months and i get so happy. i don’t realize it in the moment, but i am definitely happy and pleased with how my life has gone the last few months. it’s a crazy wild ride and i’m grateful for seeing how different my life has gone (career path, relationships ending and others beginning) and even though not every moment is perfect, i’m happy and i’m thankful. 

i could go on and on about this forever, but i’ll stop rambling. i just really wanna say i’m thankful and although i don’t talk much on here, just know that i’m happy and doing okay. 

<3 <3 <3 i didn’t expect this to turn into a sappy post, but i’m a really cheesy person so :/
