I heard that pairing malachite and moldavite together will bring BIG change in your life.
Y’all I’m going to be sleeping with those under my pillow for a bit.
I’m ready to have a change for the new year

You must allow yourself to outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of ruthlessness.

Hi
So I’ve been very absent from posting my own content on here. Many things have happened since July.
I am getting a divorce
I moved twice in October
I had to find new homes for all of my animals
I now live in a tiny house
I just got a kitten last week
I stopped school for a career that I thought I wanted
I started journaling and figuring out self love
I began crocheting again
I found love again
I am currently going through some medical scares, but I’m OK
So a lot has been going on. I would love to share my tiny house living and my beautiful cat Nori (aka Mrs Norris). I would love to share my alone time and what I do.
This is one of the biggest changes in my life and I would love to make more Internet friends, who share the same interests as me.
And if you follow me on Instagram and I’ve noticed that I’ve been inactive on there, it’s because I’ve taken a social media detox from TikTok and Instagram and kept a Tumblr because I know it’s a safe space ❤️
So thanks for coming on this journey with me ✨

Public Royalty AU, Pt 3
Despite Lena's bold declaration of independence from Lillian's will, she still has her duties. Duties that only serve to pull her further and further from Kara. Kara flies to meet Lena wherever she is as often as she can, but in between only video calls and texts keep them together.
All the while Kara gets more and more isolated as the media harassment gets worse and worse. When Alex sees Kara retreating further into herself, she asks the one question everyone in Kara's friend group has been holding back.
"Is she worth it?"
Kara's gaze flicks towards her sister, as sharp as a knife, prompting Alex to lift her hands placatingly.
"I know you love her-- everyone can see you do. That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is whether that love is worth having your life put on hold."
Alex motions vaguely towards the window, where the shifting shadows against the curtains confirm the paparazzi are still camped out.
"This is more than anyone should have to burden," Alex continues. "Especially you. So I'm asking you-- is she worth all this?"
Kara solemnly takes her sister's words to heart, and her focus turns inwards as she weighs the question. Finally, she turns back to Alex, calm as stone.
"She's worth every minute."
---
One benefit of their secret getting out is that they're allowed to be seen together in public. They accompany each other to events, and land on the style pages each time, looking elegant and beautiful together.
From the people, they get mostly positive support, but there are some detractors who don't approve of Lena dating outside the realm, so to speak. They're a vocal minority, but they're the ones the tabloids most like to print.
Kara's career as a reporter grinds to a standstill, as she's unable to investigate anything or interview anyone without a horde of paps dogging her every step. Eventually, unable to take the stagnation any longer, she turns to activism.
What starts as a vacation connects her with a charity she falls in love with, and she soon begins devoting her time and effort into supporting it. Lena helps get her through some doors initially, but soon Kara is a force in her own right.
Meanwhile, the royal family is slowly forced to endure Lena's stubbornness. Their tolerance then takes a sharp turn when Lena announces that she's asked Kara to marry her. She counters Lillian's arguments against it with ease-- she's not going to ever inherit the throne, especially once Lex has his own kids, so she won't need an heir; the public WANTS to see a commoner lifted into the royal ranks, etc.
Only then does Kara start accompanying Lena to royal family events-- derbys and dedications and ceremonies. She's careful to tread lightly, knowing her position in the family is tenuous at best. The most affection they show in public is holding hands, the occasional shoulder bump. Kara dresses modestly in designer dresses that don't feel like her at all, her hair primly tamed and makeup impeccable.
She understands now why it took so long for Lena to open up and show the real her. The royal family demonstrates how their stiffness and rigidity doesn't fall away behind closed doors, out of sight from the public. It persists, present in every interaction Kara has with them, even as a few of them warm up to her.
To Kara's great relief, the one thing that doesn't change is Lena's insistence to live in the city, in her own luxurious apartment away from the royal family. There Kara is allowed to revert back to her natural form, letting down her hair and crawling into her pajamas, cast her bra and pantyhose to a haphazard pile in the corner of the bedroom.
Lena relaxes there as well, transforming into the person Kara fell in love with. They spend their moments together in almost constant physical proximity-- cuddles on the couch, and spooning at night, or even working together in the kitchen to cook up a late-night meal.
There, Kara feels almost normal.
But as preparations for the wedding kick into high gear, Kara's childhood dream of a lowkey ceremony evaporates. As the sole daughter of the queen, the realms only princess, the public and the crown both expect every grand pomp and circumstance.
The guest list on Kara's side whittles away as people are deemed security/publicity risks, even as Lena's side grows exponentially. It becomes very clear to Kara that this wedding is not for her, but for the crown.
Sensing Kara's distress, Lena takes her to a secluded private beach for a mini-vacation. Just to get away from the mess, Lena says. But when they arrive, and stroll down to the edge of the water, Lena admits she has a surprise for Kara.
Seemingly out of nowhere, their closest friends and family appear. Their faces glow with happiness, and Kara is suddenly acutely aware that they're both wearing white.
"Marry me," Lena murmurs. "Here. Just us."
With tears in her eyes, Kara nods.
"Yes, of course!"
And so there on the sand, the water lapping gently at their bare feet, Lena and Kara wed, with only their small circle of trusted friends as witnesses.
"Your mother is going to be furious," Kara whispers later, after the sun has set and their little party has dulled to low music and quiet dancing.
Lena smirks. "When is she not?"
In that moment, Kara knows in her heart that no matter what happens, no matter how difficult royal life turns out to be-- she'd make the same decision.
She would choose Lena, every time.

I'm really glad I ended up finally reading and watching LOTR last year. I got married and moved out, two things that are pretty big life changes, where you hope things will be okay, but they aren't guaranteed, and regardless of outcome, end up changing who you are as a person. Watching a story where the stakes were higher, where Mordor was defeated, but coming home to to find everything the same except themselves. I know that regardless of what happens with me and my life, a visit home would feel similar. When I first really took in that major theme it became clear to me almost immediately why this story is considered so timeless. We can't go back to childhood bedrooms or carefree days unburdened by adult responsibility. Those things I think are worth protecting, as most of middle earth acknowledges with the hobbits, but its the hobbits themselves who acknowledge their own changes, mostly good ones even, that prevent them from living as they once did where they once were, that prevents them from ever going back.
It just makes me feel like even if something happens now, something I can't change about the world or myself, that I'll still find the strength to go on, even if I need to mourn my past self first.

Hikaku pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"So, you don't want me to be your wife." His tone is flat, disbelieving, but Tobirama-sama only nods.
"Correct," he waves at their lover, flat on the tatami and huddled into a yogi. "Izuna is enough wife enough for anyone, surely?"
Well, Hikaku can't argue with that.
Read the rest on AO3.

Sweeter than Candy 
Pink lips parted, presenting pearly white teeth. Laugh lines accompanied her shining grateful smile.
The cream ice in her hand was a gift from him – a “thank you” for having helped him get the patent application for a potion quickly through the process.
It was her favorite: Coffee.
She nibbled at it, humming delightedly. Words of appreciation left her; glittering brown eyes testifying her dedication to him.
He offered to buy her the whole candy store they passed, if she would grace him with another smile. She chuckled.
She was indeed sweeter than any candy to him.
Prompt: Candy

It's been a major struggle finding the work/health/family balance. I have not prioritized my health and fitness and want to get a grasp on that before I develop health problems. I need constant reminders and I hope making these reminders and placing them in key areas in my daily surroundings will help to remind and motivate me towards a healthier lifestyle. 🏃‍♀️
