having heightened empathy with sensitivity to others' emotions and pains can honestly feel like having the world on your shoulders. my ADHD makes it difficult to regulate my own emotions, and the weight of everyone else's struggles on top of my worn often feels impossible to deal with.
the only solution in these times, one that actually works, is turning to Jesus for help. He doesn't bring a distraction or a flimsy temporary lie. in fact, He usually doesn't change that circumstances at all. but i've lost track of how many times He's laid His peace on me when i called. i'm talking supernatural peace, "i have anxiety, why do i feel ok?" peace; where there's no reason to suddenly feel calmed and assured. like you can breathe again.
"I'm leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." (john 14:27)
only Jesus is capable of giving that. mental disorders and brain chemistry are nothing in the Face of the Creator God of the universe. especially the One that is eager and ready to take our burdens and put our minds at rest.
"Then Jesus said, 'Come to Me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.' " (Matthew 11:28)

I know I don't post pics of myself often (I'm not nature photography, a cat, or a meme, so...)
But here's what I look like

Starset really is the funniest band ever, they didn’t establish a fanbase before going off with their lore like most do, they dropped one (1) single in 2013 and then a year later, with no fame and one established song, walked up to the music scene like “hey we’re a secret society with a scifi message about a dystopian future, the only answer is to make science accessible and to fight against fascism and rock out” and then dropped the greatest cinematic rock album in history. unbelievable

I love Starset bc wherever they write a love song 4 times out of 5 it feels more like the narrator is talking to an eldritch space creature, astronomical body or even the concept of the universe itself rather than to a human romantic partner. Also the outros

when Starset said “these trials make us who we are, who we are, we are”, and when they said “I’ll follow the path I’ve chosen, out where there are dreams alive”, and when they said “thunder in my head, but I’m done waiting for rainbows”, and when they said “I know I can’t fix what’s broken, if I just pretend to try”, and when they said “I won’t live life in the rain, waiting on the sky to change”
anyhow songs about how change requires action and that nothing will be fixed if we don’t do anything and that apathy is the antagonist to progress, my beloved. I love you Starset

When Starset said "even a well lit place can hide salvation" and when they said "if you lead I will follow/a thousand miles away/I will be your apollo/alone in outer space" and when they said "my heart's an artifice, a decoy soul/who knew that emptiness could be so cold?" and when they said "closed up minds are hearty seeds/so plant yourself a gallows tree" and when they said "I still fall for you like suns do for skies" and when they said "out of myself it began evolving/I am not well/REPENT, I'M GUILTY" and when they said "I'm done running towards the eyes of tornadoes/pretending this is home" and when and when and when

i haven’t seen anyone posting this message from the official discord, which confirms that starset is NOT done touring/making music after this tour.
“the final chapter” likely refers to the closing of the narrative arc that began with divisions, or that there was an ‘immersion pt 1’ tour in between the release of vessels and divisions.
repeat: STARSET IS NOT DONE YET.
