  1. On July 22, I begin mission service for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have been called to serve in the Texas Dallas East Mission, Spanish Speaking. I haven’t been very active for the past while, but especially for the next two years I will not be active. I’ve loved Sanderson for years, and will miss reading his works for the next two years, but I trust in God to support me! If someone I've interacted with over the years is interested in being on my email list, then DM me directly and I’ll add you if I feel I know you well enough. 

    Journey Before Destination,

      Good luck! :D

  2. I tread the endless paths and ways,

    Through mist unyielding stride-

    The gritty soil beneath my steps,

    My jog, a tempered glide.

     

    Approaching wayfarers I spy,

    Their journeys meet their close-

    Their joyful banter echoes clear

    Excitement, fully prose.

     

    In ancient peaks where whispers sigh,

    Bands of color unfold,

    Beauty, like pages, softly lies-

    Nature’s tales, scripts of old.

     

    Under the softly burning glow,

    Gazing on quilted skies,

    Clouds weaving dreams in cosmic flow,

    Infinite lullabies.

     

    My confidence - regained and sure,

    Breath under measured toll-

    A summit gleams before my gaze,

    Glinting in the zephyr.

      Dude, chill.

  4. I took my first AP exam of this school year yesterday, AP Seminar, and it was the easiest one I’ve ever taken. It was so much easier than APES and AP World last year.

    I literally wrote three full pages for Part A, and then 6 full pages spilling onto the 7th for Part B. I had already read two of the four sources before, and I had so much evidence I was able to pull in and cite to support my argument. I literally quoted from memory things psychologists had said in academic journals and articles, it was so good. 
    Now I just have to get through AP Calc, AP Lang, AP Bio, and AP Physics next week

     

    Its late, but May the Fourth be with you

  7. I’m a few days late, but Twas my Shardiversary. 
    With a deep sense of gratitude, I humbly express my sincerest thanks to all of the wonderful individuals who have supported me and shown their appreciation for my posts. Your encouragement and unwavering kindness have been a source of motivation and inspiration for me. It is a privilege to be part of such a nurturing community that fosters positivity and goodwill.

    Despite being absent for a few months, please know that you have not been forgotten. I often think of this site and all the wonderful people who make it so special. The moments spent here have been invaluable, and I cherish the memories that we have created together.

    As life's journey takes me on a winding path, I look forward to returning to this platform when the time is right. I hope to be able to contribute to this community once again, and continue to grow and learn alongside all of you. The future is uncertain, but I am filled with optimism and faith that the best is yet to come.

    As I reflect on the past four years that I have spent on the Shard, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I have grown and evolved as a person, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. With the support of this community, I hope to continue on this journey and make it another four years, and beyond. Thank you again to everyone for being a part of this incredible journey with me.

  8. My philosophy is one of destruction and despair. Duty is but a feeble excuse for the atrocities I have committed. The crown upon my head is stained with the blood of the guilty, and the throne upon which I sit is but a symbol of all that I have destroyed. The sword in my hand is the tool of my destruction, wielded by my own hand. But alas, there are too many rules that bind me. The human form is a curse, a constant reminder of my own inadequacies. I look upon myself and see only failure. I have done my best, yet it was never enough. I tried, and failed, and tried again, yet still it was not enough. I had the power to change the world, yet I left it worse than I found it. I am nothing but a bringer of chaos, a harbinger of death.
    But there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Somewhere, there is a home that awaits me, a place of peace where I may find solace. I enter towns, make them mine, yet when I leave, I leave them broken. The words "come and be human with me" spoken by Keaton Henson are a beacon of love in the darkness. But the one who hurt me still haunts me, and in my nightmares they say "I forgive you." Anger is a feeling I cannot escape, but it is also one I cannot accept. It is an ugly thing, and I cannot bear to look upon it. The sun rises and sets, and God teaches me of guilt. When I die, I will be tired, and it will not matter where I go, as long as it is not here. If I were to go to Hell, I know it would be a place of doubt and despair. My only hope is to be free, to let go of all that I have done. I often ask "how can you love me with all that I have done?" But I am not a king, nor a ruler or a lowly commoner. I am not a poet or an educated man. I am death and chaos, the universal force of entropy. I am Scrios.

      It originated in my mind, except Scrios which is destruction in Irish, and the quotes I quoted. The quotes came from other people… cause they are quotes

      That do be how quotes work.

      Not sure if I’ll be back for long or again, life is life, and sometimes life doesn’t want to be life, so life takes matters into its own hands

      Couldn't stand the audiobook narrator's voice for book 6, otherwise i'd be finished already

  11. Thank you everyone for the love!

  12. President Nelson is 98 years old. The Queen was 96. Why does he look so much younger, yet is almost a century old. Also why was he still actively skiing up until a few years ago when he became Prophet and they forced him to stop for security reasons.

  17. Idk how many of you watch Minecraft videos, but for those of you who do, rest in peace Technoblade. He touched so many lives, he truly cared about his viewers and did his best to improve the lives of all he encountered.

    He may be gone, but as long as we remember him, then we can truthfully say that Technoblade. Never. Dies.

  18. Church prom and senior graduation were yesterday…

    I had fun. I was chorister at graduation, center dude in the mosh pit of Titanium, my date and I were the only couple who actually went with a date because… everyone else is lame.
    They had Cheerwine, which you probably don’t know what that is unless you live in the deep South. Tasty.

      My stake does a church prom, and we’re pretty small. A few people brought dates last time

    3. Chinkoln

      Chinkoln

      Well, it was called the Senior Ball, but it was essentially prom because unlike a normal dance people 16 and older were asked to bring a date, but anyone turning 14 that year and older could come

    4. Mat

      Mat

      That was how ours was too, yeah. We were worried there wouldn’t be enough people if we made it only 16 and up :P Which proved to be accurate 

  19. I have a date to the senior ball!!!!

    YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

    And she said yes!!!!!!!!

    That is my current wallpaper on my phone, and I love it, but I was reading a book titled The Inheritance Games, and I want 3 new words to be on my screen

    Invest

    Cultivate

    Create

    I just don’t know how to make those words appear in a design similar to that. Any advice?

      You could search for similar wallpapers to that minus the words, then use a photo editing/art app to put the words you want on it?

      I am just a simple man with simple needs, so I would find a similar background without the words and use a meme generator.

       

  22. Happy Storming Birthday!!!!!!!

  23. Is it bad that I missed my Shardiversary by like 2 months? Is it even worth it to do a whole thing about it now?

      Amen! I agree, Nissan 1 (late March, early April) is the most likely time He was born (Johnathan Cahn gave an excellent explanation on this), though the resurrection is also at this time.

      Yay! Easter is one of my favorite holidays.
