And that’s a good thing.

When I was a kid, I wanted to marry a man like my father.

Now I see how manipulative and toxic he really is.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be like my mom.

Now I know I’m actually a guy, not a girl at all.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a vet.

Now I know that was me just doing what my parents wanted.

When I was a kid I thought true happiness would come from others, and I should never be selfish.

Now I know that my happiness is important too, so I should be selfish sometimes.

Of course, dashing dreams is usually a bad thing,

But when those dreams come between your joy and those around you,

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST! (though knowing the internet it’ll wind up somewhere)

I think this is the biggest illustration I’ve ever done that’s actually complete XDXD I’ve been wanting to make a cover for the fanfic for a while now and have put my computer through hell as I watched Avatar while working on this.

After taking a break from Tumblr, it made me feel a bit less stressed from the whole situation that’s going on outside my house XD Typically I’m a hermit when it comes to news cause it’s just stress that I don’t need. And although right now the world is a heaping pile of trash right now, it’s something that I don’t want to involve myself with. Sounds really selfish and all but I don’t want to worry myself with stuff that’s out of my control. I got God to pray about the things I can’t control or am worried about. I know news is unavoidable and there’s an uproar on Tumblr about this whole ordeal. I’ll just be taking some breaks more often to not stress out from this.

In short: I’m back, going to continue doing what I do best: seeing memes and fangirling over the crap I’m into. I’ll probs be going in and out of being on here still since this garbage fire is still going on. But not as much :3 And if I do, it’s just to help my brain from harassing me.

I think I’m going to go offline more for a while... probs still give some reactions for things if I’m really up for it like games on nerothevanillabean or even anime if I get around to it... I’m just tired of the news and feeling like garbage about it. Nothing happened really on here, just scrolling through as usual. It’s super rare for me to say anything about the news cause I hate it honestly XD It’s depressing, gets peeps like me riled up, and it’s information that I don’t need in this lil brain of mine.

Peace is something we need right now. We are tense from a lot of stuff like Corona virus, George Floyd, unemployment, and more. I’m praying a lot for America and for peace for everyone. Maybe I’m just a pacifist or something but I feel we just need to take a deep breath right now to recollect ourselves from what’s been happening over the past 3/4 months (I know crazy right?). At least I need that right now, and taking another social media break will do the trick.

that no one can escape from. They will be suffering the entire time while also developing into badass flowers.

Me, looking back on it and finally solidifying my plot: All of my characters are softies... it’s LITERALLY A SOFT BOY/GIRL FEST.

Lately with news flying around all over the place, there’s a lot of misinformation being spread. All have some truth, but they might exaggerate it a lot to get a click.

Recently I discovered this site that tells you whether a site is politically left, right, or conspiracy sites. It’s helpful for someone like me who tries to find more factual news articles. They’re non-profit, transparent where their donations are going to, and do a great job at looking through sites to see if they’re factual, towards one political side or the other, and give a brief summary of what the news site is like.

As someone who tends to not trust anything the news says anymore, it’s nice to at least see some news sites that are pretty truthful. Even if it’s not much.
