  5. Ever feel like you don't actually know anything at all?

    Cuz me too.

    How did I get this far? Idk, just kinda BSed my way. 

    Do my thing, freak out over things, somehow panic-mode my way through those things, repeat.

    All while also procrastinating and not getting enough sleep and not eating healthy and sometimes not eating enough and trying to look cute and making some dumb financial decisions and never letting myself actually have time to do the things I actually want to do.

    Forming opinions and trying to defend those opinions, even when the person I'm defending them to is my dad who has so much more life experience than me and is much better at standing his ground against me than I am and a lot of the time I end up crying because I'm so passionate about it and I know what I believe but I DON'T KNOW how to explain it in a way that he will understand.

    Challenging opinions that I've had my whole life and trying to come out of challenging them with a stronger belief in them than before but it's so hard to find time to work on that so I'm just in a constant state of challenging AND believing which is NOT fun.

    Trying to keep my social life alive.

    Trying to keep myself alive.

    Trying to imagine how I could ever possibly be a mother and a wife and have a family and a house (and a job??? Idk???) when I can hardly balance college, work, and feeding myself.

    And pushing forward anyways because that's what we do.

    Time doesn't stop.

    There's not really any way to just. Hit pause on life so you can catch up.

    There are things I want in the future, things I've looked forward to for my entire life. Can I at all see how I'm going to get there? No. But I know I want to, and the longer I keep going, the closer I'm going to get to being able to reach those things.

    I don't know where I'm going to be in five, ten, fifteen years.

    Where I am now is different from where I thought I'd be five, ten, fifteen years ago (although I don't think I thought much about this when I was four. Or nine. But still.)

    But I know that where I am has so far worked out and been okayish because of (some of) what I did years and years and years ago.

    So...I keep going. Because time will always keep going. Because I know there's something I'm going towards.

    I just don't know what it is yet.

    But I think it'll be good.

      No

      And, genuinely, I don't think I have either of those.

      I've been really freaking sad, and I've been anxious, but neither of them are at all consistent or extreme enough to be depression/anxiety.

      I have strong emotions, but at a fairly normal level.

      I do realize that this particular post emphasized the feelings typically associated with depression and anxiety, but I assure you, they are not frequent enough to warrant that level of concern.

      As someone who has been doing this for years, it doesn't change.

      Only the particular subset of beliefs that you have to learn more about.

       

      Just give it time, ask in faith, and with time God will make all things known unto you.

      ...geckos are a type of lizard. Petri is a lizard. Gecko is just more specific.

      I feel like those greek sandals would be good, but they might not be comfortable enough for a full day.

      :oit looks so good! As for shoes, if you have comfy sandals those would be good, but if not a cute pair of ankle boots would look good.

  8. I saw a youth production of The Lightning Thief live. There were, like, a total of five guys in the whole thing. Percy and Grover were both played by girls (and they both did amazing, honestly). Ares and Dionysus were played by the same person, also a girl, she's one of my friends and she slayed it.

      I had to disable push notifications because of this :angry: why do spambots love us so much

  11. be kind to yourself and to others, you and they deserve it. don't stay silent on the things that are good and that truly matter in this world, even a few words can mean so much to people <3

     

  12. I hate hate hate hate hate how many people I care about - or even people I barely know - have so much hatred for themselves and so little self-love or self-confidence. And that's the only time the h-word will be allowed in this thread okay let's get started. Basically, this thread is to say nice things. It can be about someone else specifically, about yourself, about someone very generally, whatever you want. If you've got someone that you want to show appreciation for, but you're not sure how to bring it up, that's what this thread is for. If you've just got any good happy feelings towards humankind/Sharders/etc in general, that's what this thread is for. If you're not sure what to do, but you want to add to the positivity and having more structure would be helpful to you, feel free to do a sort of "Compliment the Person Above You" kind of thing. I'm sure something like this has existed before; in fact, I'm fairly certain that I started something else like this a while back, BUT I haven't seen any of those active lately, and I feel like this is important and another one isn't going to hurt anyone. I'll start. You are all such amazing people, and you're going to do incredible things with your lives. Whether or not I've interacted with you before, whether or not I've come off as cold in whatever minimal interactions I've had with you, I promise I hold no ill will towards...anyone on this site, and I have such high hopes for every single one of you. Thank you for making this a safe space for so many people, including me. You all have incredible tastes in books.

    I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. Yes, I only have three of them. (Teeth are not bones but they're still considered part of your skeleton, hence my wording.)

      I know I was sad too! I wasn’t loopy at all, though I did cry about absolutely everything.

    3. DramaQueen

      DramaQueen

      Yeah no I didn't even get that. The most I had was just like, not remembering stuff that had happened minutes before.

      That sounds a little freaky. 

      I dunno how accurate this is, but I have an uncle who does teeth extractions, and he says that usually when they’re on medicine people show the things they’re suppressing, so like he had a girl on student council start cussing at him, and a goth kid say how much he loved everything, that sorta thing. So maybe you’re just not hiding anything. 

  14. Second status update of the night before I actually go to bed:

    I'm making some progress on my music album, working title Fantasy

    Tentative song order, all titles are working titles and most are probably not going to be the actual titles (you might recognize some of these from my writing thread, Queen's Quill)

      (None of the songs are recording-ready, they all need quite a bit of work, but it's exciting to finally feel like I'm actually doing something that's somewhat substantial for it.)

  15. Hey

    Psst

    For you Americans who, like me, need the reminder:

    Go to bed. It's bedtime. Sleepy time. Take care of yourself cuz you're old enough that no one else is gonna do all the stuff to take care of you for you. Sleep is important, Shard etc will still be here when you wake up.

    Goodnight, love you all <3

    All I have left is sleeves, embellishments, and buttons. The sleeves are the only thing that I need to do before I go back to college, though!

      (Not meant in any sort of advancement context but I think people need to be reminded that they're pretty periodically - because, as it were, people tend to deserve it)

  18. If you don't want to be notified by people's random thoughts that they put into status updates, you can either: 1: Unfollow them if there are certain people whose updates you tend to deem unnecessary or 2: I think you can literally just turn off status update notifications if you've got a problem with everyone's. I like the format of status updates for things like that, because it's something that's super easily avoidable. When people follow me, they're subscribing to hear my random thoughts that I want to share, and if they don't want that, they can unfollow me. With this, I'm not going to follow the thread because I don't really want to get everyone's status updates, and I'm not going to see anything without following it, but there are people that I would want to hear from (aka the people I follow). If I were to post stuff in here, pretty much only the people following it would see it, and there are people who wouldn't follow this thread who do follow me who I'd want to have see my "status update." Just my two cents. I won't be using this, and anyone can feel free to unfollow me if they don't want to get the notifications for my SUs.
  19. Oh and a recording of Dragon Lullaby can be found on my Instagram account! (Idk how Instagram works but I'm doing my best, okay?) @valtameri_arts is my insta, btw, and the current plan for if/when I start releasing music (at least to Spotify, possibly other platforms) is for it to be under the name Valtameri okay bye
  20. [Untitled] (TW sexual abuse and suicide - not based off of anything that I personally have experienced, it's really dark and idek why this is what happened from a writing prompt I was given) (If anyone feels that this is misrepresenting/disrespecting people who have gone through any of the experiences it's intended to show please let me know and I can remove it, thanks (and that goes for anything I ever write - I'm hopefully going to be pretty liberal with my sharing of my writing here, so y'all can kind of be the sensitivity readers and such))
