if there’s so much love in the world, why do so many people feel unloved?

i think it's more that there's endless potential for love in the world rather than that the love is automatically there. giving love openly is a skill, but so is learning to identify and accept that love. both actively require that you practice doing them. many of us are out of that practice--on both fronts--or simply never learned how to begin with, i think.

One thing I’ve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they don’t make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesn’t meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where they’re needed to be, they’re just like “ok cool” and they move on from the person. Which is not to say they’re less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and they’re not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesn’t really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely

#not just when it comes to ppl but w opportunities too! #w not wasting your energy on negativity #w always seeing the big picture etc etc #i just want to always move from a place of ‘is this expending time that could be best spent elsewhere?’ #just a note 2 self while I navigate how to spend my time #which includes dedicated studying & reading more consistently & moving my body & enjoying nature & telling someone I love them <3 #we will be alright #text

#ryzhik dove #new developments in the garden pigeon flock! 😳😳😳 hello!!! #please note the perfectly white pigeon at the center... he is VERY new he only showed up like three days ago!!! #(fairly sure it's a he because he inflates his chest and chases others) #we've no idea whether he was born into this flock or joined from elsewhere #i personally think he might be a escapee from a loft or wedding release... but he does have a patch of brown on his tail #and he stays close to ryzhik dove which does make me wonder 🤔🤔🤔 #it's just... like with penka dove ryzhik's children and his children's children appear to have lighter plumage with each generation #have we diluted down from pure cocoa/coffee to latte to 95% cream this year?! 🤣🤣🤣 #only the flock knows i suppose) #idk if he will stick around but will keep watching for him. if he's remained after a few months i think i shall name him :D #that's the update. everyone is ok here i hope you are well too #💖💖💖💖💖 #dove #pigeon #birds #cute

#heres the thing i love and will always love death note and this fandom #but also i feel like at this point im very bored of it #like i dont seek out fics or have new headcanons to share #and trying to reread it again i always stall and lose interest in favour of reading new stuff #BUT i love the fandom so much and find it so homey #so its like where to go from here? #start a new blog thats not just for death note? because i dont want to turn this one into a non dn blog #but i feel like my interests are naturally going elsewhere #i almost want to have a blog more just for my reading in general instead #i know it would be way smaller of a blog probably but idk #i assume it must annoy new followers if they follow me thinking theyll get a lot of DN and then its just #mostly random other stuff #but blogging to people-please rather than bc you actually wanna isnt a great way to go either #i feel guilty about being bored of DN when in reality ive probably sustained my interest in this series 1000x longer than the average bear #p

Get to know you tag game thing

I was tagged by @amorficzna! I love these things.

Three ships: I mean, I do have to say Shadowheart/OC (BG3) for my first, right? Obviously, I love my Shadowheart/Asheera but I really enjoy reading so many folks' different OCs with her. And since I had a Pathfinder moment earlier today, Anevia/Irabeth (Wrath of the Righteous) is big HNNNG material. And to give you a nice left hook/blast from the past, April/Ann (Parks and Recreation).

First ever ship: I actually don't remember, so I'm going to answer to the best of my eternally fading memory. I need you all to bear with me here. I used to watch a lot of Degrassi: The Next Generation as a kid because of the Fuse and Noggin channels, so I think it was Paige/Alex. Either that or the disaster of Ellie/Craig, but I remember my feelings about Paige/Alex quite vividly.

Last song: Swollen by Jack Off Jill

Last movie: Rewatched Pontypool for the 112th time. My favorite quirky horror movie about semiotics and memetic language.

Currently reading: Blood Bride by @raedmagdon but I am so fucking far behind it's embarrassing. Currently rereading the Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb because I need her voice in my mind as inspiration again, and I'm also stalled out on the first book because Life.

Currently watching: I rarely watch TV... Last thing I really watched was Succession. Before that was, uh, I genuinely don't know.

Currently consuming: Store brand Goldfish crackers, but they're lil turtles! What a breakfast.

Currently craving: Good sleep for the first time in nearly 4 years.

I'll tag @siyurikspakvariisis @apoptotique @underworldobsessed @bottombatch @quitefair if they wanna do it!

#personal nonsense #i wrote “blast from the plast” at first #I have no comment on that just thought it was worth noting #also maybe I should say April/Andy for Parks and Rec but my mind went elsewhere first so meh #and yeah I understand loving Robin Hobb as a fanfic writer is some kinda cosmic joke but life is one anyways

Update she only has the one set list so she is right now singing thr EXACT ganache song

#she sounds FANTASTIC from... elsewhere in the building #not so much from 15 feet away #she has another one towards the end of the setlist where last time she did not hit her high note on 'girl' one single time #i think it's because it's late in the set and she was getting tired vocally

Ok, so I joked about the Titan looking like a fleshlight which haha funny. But I had no idea Paul-Henri Nargeolet died in that thing. I’m legit upset. Nargeolet was the leading researcher on all things Titanic and deeply valued and respected that site. I’d understand why the other three guests would feel safe-ish (as we know the 19 year old didn’t want to go but went for Father’s Day since his dad loved the Titanic) after seeing Nargeolet was also attending.

Why tf did he get on that submersible though? Even James Cameron was baffled by his decision to go. Like the guy knew the dos and donts of subs going this deep. So it might be nerdy, but I’m a little heartbroken about this. The Titanic historian community has lost a valuable member all because of some dumbfuck’s hubris.

#the titanic was what first got me interested in history specifically the personal human stories throughout history #I watched and read a lot of stuff that Nargeolet featured in or contributed to #so this is a big deal for me #I’m glad it was quick for them cause the alternative was unthinkable #also side note #I’m not rich (far from it) and I hate billionaire and multimillionaires #but some of y’all on here and elsewhere celebrating their death (just death in general) is a deranged look #like I get that rich people are valued way over us #and it’s unfair that all these tax payer dollars went to this search and rescue when it could be put to better uses #but still you look deranged #having empathy for something like this isn’t a bad thing #I’m v sensitive in general so like it just disturbs me a bit to see people so callous #oceangate #Paul Henri Nargeolet #stockton rush #I don’t have sympathy for rush however he willingly skirted regulations and put unknowing people in danger #fuck him #titan submersible #rms titanic

does the tremendous grief of lost friendships ever calcify?

i don't think so, but that's not necessarily a bad thing; nothing grows after calcification. i like to think we carry these rents in our hearts, not so that we will suffer forever, but as a reminder of how expansive the space in our hearts can become in the first place. i loved this much once, i was loved this much once....now i know that anything is possible. it doesn't make the pain go away, but i think it means something to have all these new spaces that you can nurture love through. the love lives on that way, in its own way. and we become gentler and bigger for it.

At 5.25 inches for this 4th bracelet. It should be about 7.5-8 inches before I make the end-loop.

It's 6am and 5F degrees outside. Tonight, I have a phone talk scheduled. Tomorrow, I return to the library.

Tuesday, an old friend is visiting town. Kinda want to be vague about it, as y'all don't really know this person. They'll visit the library, and we'll head over to Ellsworth for dinner, after I close up for the evening.

I'm chronically online and tend to share a lot of my life with tumblr. For this situation, I plan to keep things close to my chest for some time.

#daily notes #i know no one here will bug me about it #it's just different from my usual actions #so it feels odd to do something unusual #don't worry #trusted people elsewhere have all the details

the sheer number of incredibly intricate worlds and characters that i have created with people who i am no longer friends with so that i can no longer talk about those characters or use those settings. i only got half the dog in the divorce do you know what i mean

#i have all these characters but they're missing their FRIENDS and their ORIGINAL CIRCUMSTANCES #people will never understand roleplay with original settings and original characters. #imagine if you played dnd purely by talking about the characters and their relationships with each other and their themes and motifs #and did all the little roleplay scenarios but wrote about it. and then made a bunch of supplementary material for your characters. #and then like. instead of one character you've got like three of them and they're all Part of this collaborative world #mourning the group of like. dkjfghs. nine friends from a fantasy world. i only have claim to like three of them #the rest... again. only half the dog #i WILL use prydwen elsewhere. because i'm in love with him and that's important in a character. he's literally my silly rabbit #but GOD i want to get my fucking hands on people's intellectual property sometimes #i was the ONLY one doing cool shit with the fantasy sci-fi world this one person created and i WANT to do more with it!!! #and like. how am i supposed to use zephyr without stealing the incredibly specific circumstances that they were created out of #anyway. frustrating. at least i have prydwen. hugging him like a teddy bear #yeah girl i have ocs except i don't talk about them on tumblr i'm in my little roleplay servers that i created the ocs for dskfgh #honestly i have probably talked about faedren more than any actual character of mine from like. Writing. #also my fault for not having any actual wips. long form or even short form fiction is not my strong suit nothing rlly sticks #WHATEVER. feel like shit just want her back (all of the characters that are inextricably intertwined with someone else) #valentine notes

I think that analysis post I rbed Really put things into perspective for how some kin memories of mine fit together. 'Cus Holy Fucking Shit dude.

it's funny 'cus my canon's Arlecchino fuckin sucked. But I do like her as a character (and I have that cat plush of her too which makes it all the funnier).

But through the lenses of That 4.1 scene being intentionally planned as like a test of the dynamics Father and myself/my siblings had... Ough yeah.

I think that grudge against Wriothesley for the whole thing finally vanished, realizing this now..

anyways Wriothesley & Neuvillette are cool as shit, and Neuvillette's a cooler dad than 'Father' ever was, *suck it Arlecchino-* /lh

#og posts #fictionkin #also if you see a kinfession abt this later & elsewhere no you didnt /j #also side note / rhetorical thing why the shart have i had so many lyney shifts recently Gods Fucking Damn /silly /nm #like it feels like every day / every other day i add a lil something to the notion page w/ things that remind me of my canon oh my gosh #...i also Really should finish reading the fic series where my canon likely comes from / where I got the memory of the Iudex adopting us #1/3 read and two more to go- the next one's me-centric too which is fun #...that being said im still scared for 4.6 bc i've heard arly's kit is really good but i also want me. L #...i should make another sideblog justto put this shit shouldnt i

worrying about 'is it mean of me not to discourage my friend getting too carried away with shipping our blorbos if I don't know that it's likely to actually happen in canon :\' but then remembering this same friend, as a DM, was once like 'oh my god [NPC] has a huge crush on [my PC], he's down SO bad 😏' but then had that npc FULLY DATING another PLAYER CHARACTER by the time the (rest of the) party went back to the city he lived in

#SO IF IT'S A RUGPULL I GUESS THAT'S FAIR PLAY #... not that felix is likely to have prospects elsewhere 😔 justin's PCs are usually straight... #and I. already know the ranger is absolutely not an option fkjhdgk #SEE AND THE ANNOYING THING IS I DEMURRED ON THE 'jsyk they could totally hook up 👀' THING FOR SO LONG!! #BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT IT TO SET A TONE!! BUT THE CAMPAIGN WAS DEAD SO LIKE! IT DIDN'T MATTER :'D #I didn't think we'd end up still playing these bois together :') #I'm really glad I found out we WERE like five minutes BEFORE she asked about felix's *preferences* [eyebrow wiggles] #cause there's information that. she can't have if we're gonna PLAY them. she'd make it Weird at the table jhfdgfdkj she HAS no chill #man on the other note of this post I was really excited for tsakesh to maybe get a dnd romance :') #he's a charming boy and I love him also I'd never had any opportunity for dnd romance yet at all to that point #literally I'm pretty sure she straight up forgot that NPC had had the hots for tsakesh #she was using him to rehabilitate our temporarily split from the party chaotic evil warlock while we were out on adventures 😭 #about me #irl frens #my OCs #felix #tsakesh

i understand that if you’re sapphic and also incredibly and unironically into the mcu like i was a few years ago then the hand kiss from love and thunder might seem like a big deal and might make you feel really good but. it’s nothing. it’s literally fucking nothing. it’s a few seconds with an unnamed character and then valkyrie talks about her dead, also unnamed girlfriend for a bit. there are movies and television shows and books and idk podcasts that actually feature sapphic characters and/or relationships. you cannot, should not, and do not have to rely on the fucking marvel cinematic universe for queer representation. and the mcu should not be praised for “steps in the right direction” or whatever when we have actual representation elsewhere, and they are the ones lagging behind.

#yes this is somewhat paraphrasing another post (that i already reblogged) but #idk its just that as someone who used to be an mcu stannie who wanted gay rep from it i understand where the people #who are hyped about love and thunder are coming from but also like. they're really just deluding yourselves. #and if you just love popcorn entertainment so much there's stuff that isnt 'pretentious' bc i know some tumblr folks hate art /hj #like there's but i'm a cheerleader (a cultural reset) more recently there's first kill #i promise you that there is actual tangible sapphic representation that will fit your tastes you do not have to rely on the fucking mcu #for your queer rep #and you also SHOULDNT #anyway this is why i feel a similar way about baymax cartoon trans man like. there's actual trans representation elsewhere #yes there isn't a lot but it exists and its better than this #we don't have to give disney this much credit when they want us dead #people act like this is the first time trans characters/queer characters in general have been done when it isnt #its just the first time DISNEY has done it #disney does not care about us and just wants our money i stg get that in your heads before you freak out over #the next disney's first gay character that comes around #also side note that i already said in the tags of another post but #a character doesn't have to be actively in a queer relationship to be 'good queer representation' but #that doesnt mean that valkyrie is good queer representation #especially compared to everything else that's available #like besties maybe val would be good sapphic rep fifteen years ago??? 🤨 #i speak #mcu #mcu critical #thor love and thunder
