Firefly’s Stuff

Even if their dream only lasted a fraction of everyone else’s lives, it still mattered. They got a chance they would never get otherwise, a chance to be someone.

My dream is to be a creator, of many things, art, stories, objects, and a lot of things about me make that dream hard to achieve. But even if one day, my hopes and dreams are only a whisper on the wind, it will all still matter. Just like those delicate flowers who, over the course of one day, became beloved by players.

- Finch, an app that helps you complete self care goals by caring for a virtual pet. You can name and customize the pet to your heart’s content with the rainbow stones you get from the self care tasks

- Habitica, I mainly use this for my to do lists. It helps you keep track of tasks and motivates you to do them by making it like an RPG and giving you exp and gold for completing them. This one works best if you have friends since there are guild quests, but I just like how it game-ifies goals.

- Pokemon sleep, an official pokemon app that play relaxing music and the better you sleep, the more and rarer pokemon you can catch. I also think the app may get you to associate the music it plays with sleep so you get to sleep easier by using it frequently.

- Apple Journal, I use it less now because I’ve found written journals don’t work for me. But this is an official apple app with no premium version or anything. You just write journal entries and can organize them into folders

- Voice memo, this is what I use currently for my journaling. You can also make folders in this app. I just record my daily log when I go to bed and I can read the transcript when I need to get useful information from it.

Non apps

- fidget slug, it’s an articulate toy that looks like a slug. You fidget with it by just moving it around or between your hands. I like that it doesn’t get damaged easily or pick up dirt like a stress ball.

- comfort object, this can be basically anything small enough to carry. For me it’s either a 3D printed fidget animal, or a plush keychain. If I feel like I might be overwhelmed or have a breakdown, I feel the object and focus on every aspect of it to take my mind away from the stress

Chichi was the best mink, Finnegan was the best fox, and Firefox was the best snake. It’s still hard for me to comprehend that they’re gone, especially Finnegan, who got me through 2020 along with the rest of the rescue’s managerie.

This show that I only ever watched because a friend told me to watch the pilot. This show that changed my mind in ways I can’t explain.
