“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.” —William Arthur Ward

It’s that time of year. Seasons are beginning to change and that means welcoming and harvesting all the work we’ve put in the past months.
Change is coming as we enter eclipse season remember to lean into that change. To let yourself be heard. Eclipse season is only difficult if you resist the change that needs to come through for you.
The trees have always been the perfect example of change, and embracing it so naturally. The trees understand this time it’s important to shed. Shed their leaves so that they can grow and begin again.
And sometimes it’s hard to let go, sometimes letting go is messy but it sure leaves behind something beautiful to appreciate. Where can you welcome change?
i have been reading through the diary I kept from ages 14-17 and realising how helpful it can be to keep a record of how you're feeling at different moments.
not only is it helpful to write down and process how your feeling and give yourself time to truly think about it, it's nice to have something to look back on. to not just remember how you felt about a certain situation but to actually have yourself from that time tell you.
and also, from an adhd perspective, it's really lovely to have reminders of things I'd almost entirely forgotten. it's easy to think that your life right now isn't interesting, but in 5 years time? to know what songs you were listening to or book you were reading or even that Thing that you were so worried about but now you can't even remember the details. it's nice to have a physical reminder that time passes and things really can get better.
this isn't a horny post but. has buck even... seen a hard penis before that was not his own? like yeah yeah porn but. that's not really the same is it. not when you're not even looking. not when you don't even know that you want to look. like for all intents and purposes buck is completely virginal here and that's. ummm. that's a lot.
im gonna go out on a limb and say that gradual, tentative, gentle change - change that isnt always linear and sometimes backtracks and regresses and moves forward incrementally in halting baby steps, change that is always fighting to contradict and challenge itself, oscillating from one extreme to the other, change that doesn't always get it right but is still goddamn trying - is every bit as valid as abrupt transformative change. change that comes from within, with nudges and influences, is just as commendable and noteworthy as dealing with change forced upon you because you have no other choice but to bend to it. change is change; just because it isn't as obvious or quantifiable on first glance, or just because it doesn't go right the first time, doesn't mean it's not bloody there
