the dark moon whispers, you have done enough, put the day down, let it close itself.

you hold the broken pieces, like they are your own fault, but the night says, some things end to free your hands.

trust this quiet goodbye, trust the doors that lock, a softer story is waiting, just beyond this stop.

The One You Never Get Tired Of.

I'm kinda new to tumblr, I made this account a LOOOONG time ago and never really used it. I've exhausted basically every other social media outlet you can possibly THINK OF for friends. Reddit I thought was my last resort but then I remembered I could come back here 😂😂. I super appreciate that tumblr saved my account name so thank God for that. But when I opened this account again I couldn't believe some of the stuff I used to post.... Haha so random.

Anyways enough about my account! If you haven't already read my bio, I'm El, 22, a gal and I'm sorely lacking in the friend department. I'd super appreciate it if you were at least 20-28 before sending me a message, from the U.S (yes timezones suck), and be down to basically talk everyday about anything and everything! I happen to be a night owl so I'm up at almost all hours of the day (minus when I sleep). I will say now before I go any further that I do NOT tolerate any of the following: **NSFW, one words/small talk/low effort, politics/debates, drugs/alcohol/partying, sexism/racism, and nothing more than friends (I have a bf).**

I'd like to think of myself as a caring and supportive individual. I don't mind if you need to vent to me or just want me to listen. I also would LOOOOVE IT if I had someone whom I could geek out with over tv shows, movies, music, and video games!

I do love quite a bit of TV series which includes (but is not limited to): Lost girl, she ra and the princesses of power, wandavision, Loki, wolverine and the xmen, xmen evolution, spectacular Spider-Man, quantum leap, static shock, danny phantom, the hollow, kipo and the age of wonderbeasts, etc.

For music I love dark pop, death pop, pop, pop punk, punk, rock, indie, 80s-2000s, alternative, metal.

Bands: Dayshell, Of Allies, framing Hanley, City of Souls, Rivals, Awaken I am, Normandie, the great discord, Bad omens, Cemetery sun, versaemerge, belle, the ivory, anavae, etc.

I play on PS4 and own a ps vita (which I DEFINITELY am looking forward to using more). Here are some of my favorite video games: Batman arkham series, infamous second son, evil within 2, until dawn, resident evil 7/8, avatar the last Airbender, street fighter, tekken 7, lego batman games, Kirby super star ultra, spiderman shattered dimensions, danny phantom, tomb raider, telltale batman/guardians of the galaxy, the amazing spiderman, uncharted series, kingdom hearts, life is strange, etc.

followers,

messages,

income,

grades,

accomplishments.

Those numbers rise and fall. They shift, change, disappear. They were never meant to be the foundation of your worth. Beneath all of that, there is a simple, steady truth: You are enough by simply being you.

colonel rajyavardhan rathore had one of those days recently.

just — conversations. real ones. the kind where you actually walk away knowing something you didn't know before. the kind that make you look at a problem differently or remind you why you cared about something in the first place.

meaningful conversations. valuable insights. a day enriched by every interaction.

and honestly? that's a whole leadership philosophy right there.

because here's the thing —

we're so obsessed with output. with visible, measurable, countable results. with looking productive. and somewhere in all of that we forgot that some of the most important work a leader can do is just... listening to people.

actually listening. not waiting to respond. not mentally drafting your next point. just — receiving what someone is telling you and letting it matter.

every person you talk to knows something you don't. has seen something you haven't. has felt something your data will never capture.

and when you actually show up for those conversations — when you're curious and present and genuinely open — your whole understanding of everything gets a little sharper. a little more real.

a day enriched by every interaction isn't just a nice sentiment. it's a practice. a discipline. a choice to treat every conversation like it has something to offer.
