#change is scary

[itsdefinitely]

changing my home/lock screen might be a small thing to you, but for me it took many years of training. what do you mean you didn't witness the montage in which i changed it but got too uncomfortable with the difference that i had to change it back? you really didn’t see me almost flinch when i saw the wallpaper for the first time? smh

IT'S OK TO BE SCARED OF CHANGE!!!

CHANGE IS SCARY!!! BUT CHANGE IS ALSO EXCITING!!! CHANGE IS HOPEFUL!!! CHANGE IS PROMISING!!!

YOU WILL GET THROUGH YOUR VERY VALID FEAR AND COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE TO ALL THE GOODNESS CHANGE BRINGS!!!

Sometimes we find change scary, so we end staying in the familiar, even if that familiar hurts, but how can change be scarier than that?

Managing success on YouTube is death by a thousand cuts. Why do you think we’ve seen so many people quit recently?

Things come and go, and this is still better than watcher disbanding. Whether or not this move is successful will be up to them and their execution. They know this as the risk!

Just because you don’t like watcher content enough to pay them directly for it doesn’t mean you, as the viewer, didn’t already capitalize on the value of all the free content they’ve put out till now.

And that doesn’t make them bad people, and it doesn’t make you a bad fan. It just is what it is. Things change for a reason.

And if you think this is what kills watcher and the Shane/ryan fandom, then that means you probably didn’t think they had a sustainable brand anyway- which means it would have died a slow death on YouTube anyway.

They’ve been doing watcher for a while now, and if they feel the risk is worth it, then it probably is. It doesn’t matter what age their audience is if they aren’t seeing a meaningful point to continuing on YouTube as they are now.

I’ve enjoyed seeing their journey, and I’ll continue to enjoy the memes and snips of content they put out for all.

#watcher tv #watcher #shane medej #ryan bergara #they aren’t the devil #yall just hate paying for things #which is valid when content is everywhere #but also not valid in the sense that all content used to be behind a paywall #you are not entitled to free labor #parasocial relationships #change is scary #but it’s fine #you’ll find somthing else free to watch #until that ends too #it’s a lifecycle

Change is scary, but staying in the same place is much more terrifying.

Today is the seventh day of doing the 75 soft challenge so here’s a wrap of my week. 

So far so good, I’ve been more active at home than before ever since I stopped going to the gym. I strive to finish any 45 minute workout daily regardless of my hectic schedule. Sometimes I only do my hot girl walk whenever I don’t feel like using weights during my workouts, ride a bike within our subdivision, or would play volleyball with my brother. 

Other than that, I have managed to eat a balanced meal without thinking about the calories of those food I consume. I no longer worry about gaining weight from the foods I eat, therefore I can finally enjoy eating. Also, I started reading books again, I am currently reading “101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think” by Brianna Wiest. I would highly recommend that you should read this book if you love listening to the perspective of other people <3

But there are days that I don’t feel like getting up in the morning given that I am not a morning person and struggling to fix my sleeping schedule. On those kind of days listening to podcast helps me a lot. I honestly enjoy listening podcast more than reading since reading makes me sleepy so I usually read before I sleep hehe. The podcast that I am currently listening to is “Party of 1 Podcast” by Erycka. It really helps in boosting my motivation since I’m also struggling in being consistent and being disciplined.

There is something I wanted to share with you guys for my weekly reflection. What I have realized in the first week of doing this challenge is that CHANGE IS SCARY. It can be frightening to imagine that you can't do that one task, but it can be even more terrifying to realize that a year has passed and you are still in the exact same place. Get up and prepare to fail repeatedly until one day you don't because all success is just failing repeatedly until you understand that the one thing you keep doing wrong is actually turning out to be right :)

transition slide

i was wrong about time, it's not a thin string stretching through space. it's more like a fog, or a wave. Never quite one shape or another. i said i was scared, because it felt like things were changing. you put your hand on mine, and said, "the already have."

Winds of winter

It is about time.

It is about to happen.

Some few may dread,

While some more eagerly awaiting.

On the other side of this rickety fence,

that has been built and standing,

By fortunates slowly faded by fuzzying fumes,

With teeth green and rotten, as their stolen harvest,

There you will find

No change

But the shape of the fallen leaves on the fields.

I take the hands that are closest to me. I hope they do the same. And I take the very next step, in hopes that some may follow. To where the winds of winter are leading us.

10/14–2023 — ☀️ 🌙 Libra Eclipse

This is a fun synchronous thing to ponder and think about and maybe some of you might want to pay attention to it.

Warning: discussions of war and other triggering topics like politics.

The eclipse is happening at the end of the week. Saturday the 14th, peaking at 11:52 AM (CST)

But that’s the synchronous thing about it? Taking a gander at it, the eclipse occurs at the south node. The south node being about excrement, pushing out, letting go, the stuff that is not needed for us. A point where the butterfly comes out of its cocoon. But to add onto this,

The solar eclipse flies south much like the south node is directed.

The vice versa will occur with the north node total solar eclipse on April 8th of 2024 next year.

“The solar eclipse flies north much like the north node is directed”….

My predictions are murky with this, but I have been able to take note of the occurrences that happen before the major event.

Proceeding the Full Moon in Aries (whom was conjunct Chiron- wounds and healing and the north node — hunger, destiny) is the war declaration in Israel with Hamas. They haven’t stopped since and the war seemingly has its fate to go for a long and painful time.

I will also go forth to add on that they are in fact fighting over holy lands that they proclaim to protect. (More on this at the end of the post)

My bets is the stopping point or climax of all wars herein before they really pop off is the Saturn Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries in ‘25 or ‘26.

But on the topic of the annular, with the saturated south node eclipse happening in Libra, one must think of the quote “diplomacy dies in darkness”. What have we seen so far? The war with Hamas and the fight in Ukraine (I will add on them too, due to their almost exact implications but different starting time frame)

Another bet I have is that the wars will seemingly pop up everywhere on all fronts but all not in the same way. Next year begins the 2024 Elections for the United States and there are already signs of agitation and violence on both ends of the spectrum. The bipartisan system we’ve built in the 1770’s now crumbling at the seams. With the help of the Pluto return of the United States.

What does this mean for the north node though?

Bringing up the effects of a north node in Aries eclipse that also moves north as it trenches along; one must say that there will be striving for individuation, war, fighting for your country and peace thereof,….among others.

Wildfires, weather systems and patterns, as well as anything having to do with heat will begin to also become more severe or irrefutable.

For those going through their Nodal Return with these eclipses, and if you feel the pains of change and seeing the atrocities of the world happen on your screens/households/life…

I must be honest, these times look like they’re not gonna end soon. They’ll only ramp up and all we can do is bite down on the bullet that’s been shot. Triumph over this through perseverance, experience and knowledge so the next time that this nodal pattern occurs, we know how to handle it.

And to end it off, fighting over the holy lands that you wish to protect is very ironic because you end up destroying the sacred texts that have been there for centuries.

I’m not too entirely Christian (not devout and monkish in a way), but to fight on sacred lands of a religion and then to say your protecting it only just to be killing a bunch of people for it…

you’re not protecting it by all means

YOURE DESTORYING GODS WORK AND CALLING ONTO YOURSELF A FALSE PROPHET. YOU PROCLAIM HOLINESS WHEN YOURE KILLING ‘HIS’ PEOPLE. YOU ARE NO MORE BETTER THAN SATAN HIMSELF.

And breathe…..

Prayers and manifesting good times in our own lives ahead y’all. Keep everyone in your circle no matter how distant or close in mind. Show them some love and show them you care. Be there for them. These next few to several years will not be easy.

~visiblenostalgia

BONUS BIT: I’d like to also add on that if one thinks of it in a certain way, Terra (or mama Gaia, Mother Earth) is kind of going through contractions with this new world order. In a way the solar eclipses coming up are like the famous active labor pains that come through in childbirth. Will all the pain in change, there is forward movement in trying to make a new world order that will be better for us to inhabit this place together in the end.

Idk just a thought. Toodles!

Are you not into Ladynoir anymore? :(

NO!!!!!!! NONO I LOVE THEM !!!!!!!

i actually have been more into ml/ladynoir since september than i have been in a long time. i took a very big step back from fandom and posting and it really helped me reignite my love for ml and also remember all the things i enjoy doing when im not worried about what people think of me and whether i need to get new art out soon etc etc. ive always been very mindful of my relationship with social media but the ml fandom has definitely been one of the most. Intense social media experiences i've had compared to the others that ive been in, and there was a point where i was like. ok. maybe this isn't good for me anymore

i'm trying to be very careful about the way i post on tumblr/twitter these days, as well as the people i interact with in the fandom. i still want to be on here from time to time but i think it's important that i remind myself that my creations and my thoughts are first and foremost mine and that when i sit down to write a fic or to draw or something, it doesn't have to be crafted and polished specifically to be shared online. ♥♥♥ but yes i am still into ladynoir, more so than i have been in a long time 🥺🥺🥺 i love them so much

#i bet some people r reading this like girl ur so stupid social media isnt meant to be that hard lol #but it was hard for me! and i cant change that. but i can change the way i interact with it #and i think it was a good choice and i am proud of myself for it because the idea of like #possibly being forgotten and discarded by people once i stopped being active made me very anxious #but i took the step back anyway and im happy i did #even though people did forget about me #as the anon from before said #change is scary #but change is good ! #ask #anon

I lost in the student society election and I’m pretty sure there are no more open positions to seek appointment to.

I’ve been involved in this since 2018.

I’m both relieved at having one less commitment and terrified at what comes next.

BC maybe I will look into finally moving on from college at some point since I’m not tied to the board anymore?

I’ll probably chair that last meeting if she wants one more example haha well see (plus I could use the extra money chairing the meeting gives me)

#shatters’ fragments #Change is scary #and I should’ve asked for a parking pass earlier bc that would’ve been useful for me this semester but oops I forgot and. now I can’t.

IT'S OK TO BE AFRAID OF CHANGE!!!

IT'S OK!!! CHANGE IS SCARY!!! BEING AFRAID OF UNKNOWN THINGS IS A SURVIVAL MECHANISM - BEING CAUTIOUS KEEPS US SAFE!!! BUT CHANGE CAN ALSO BE EXCITING!!! IT CAN BE FUN!!! CHANGE CAN MEAN GOOD THINGS!!! DIFFERENT DOESN'T MEAN BAD!!!

YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS CHANGE AND COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE IN AN EXCITING NEW PLACE!!! YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY!!!

I've been looking forward to this for more than two years. Eagerly. But now that the time has come, now that I have less than a month left for it to happen, I want time to just freeze. I am not sure if I can go through with it. I am not sure if I really want to go through with this. I am not sure if I am strong enough to do it. Moving to my absolute favourite city is what I have been dreaming of. Moving out of my house, far, far away from my HOME, from my people, is not something I gave a lot of thought to while dreaming about it. I am having cold feet. The same dreams I used to dream seem like nightmares now. I cry when I go to sleep. I cry when I'm sat in the living room with my family. I cry when I go for a drive with my brother. Because I don't know when I will be able to do all of that again. It's a big step. It's for my career. It's me chasing my dream. But at the same time, it's me losing my home. It's me moving out of my safe space. It's me trying to fit my entire life in three suitcases. I don't know what to do with myself and my thoughts at a time like this. All I do everyday is pray for a lot of strength. God help me!
