how to tame a cat
the universal respect for human life prevents us from attacking all who we hate- yet that does not stop me from fearing my own distain. it’s not anger herself that i'm afraid of, but the displacement of her. i fear that she will bite all the hands that feed me, until there are none left. i would declaw myself to remain safe in the company of rage.  anger is but a teacher, or so they say, clarity to the areas where we have been wronged- but I am an unruly student, and you are too. how often have you left your mother with tear stained cheeks, how many times have you hissed cruelties at your own blood? we are united by our capability to be feral beings, our common humanity our own volatility. in a cage is where anger must reside, a dam against the thrashing tide, a creature in a crate, a home for a bitter woman. i wish to have soft pads of pink flesh in place of the nails that left you raw don’t fear me, don’t fear me, don’t-  i am as defenseless as a cat with no claws.

As I lie awake in the dead of night, my arm stretches outward, fingers whispering against the sheets, the calm yet unsettling quiet broken by the rustling.
I pull in a deep, almost gasping breath, almost as if attempting to use it to fill the never-ending void inside.
Loneliness isn't a new experience; it has been a constant companion, even in the midst of a thousand bodies. I've learned to seek solace in it, to weave of it a cloak, that I wear like an impenetrable shield, a ward against the outside, and perhaps, even the inside; the insecurities, the fear, the cold I am not ready to face.
Fitting, I think ruefully, that her eyes reflect the galaxies that so fascinate her. She seems like a fever dream, the imagined fantasy of a delirious mind, respite from a lifetime worth of pain. And yet, she is all too real, burning with a bright, hopeful flame. One that, impossible as it may seem, she has chosen me to share with. It lights a spark inside, blooming outward with a gentle yet incessant warmth, and slowly but steadily dispelling the cold.
But even amidst all the cloying, suffocating darkness, a pair of eyes flash unbidden in my mind. A decadent, luxurious brown; warmth like apricity. Shimmering like a thousand stars. A mischievous grin pulling at the mouth, and then laughter, tinkling.
My lips pull into a soft smile, and as my eyelids grow heavy, I am not so alone anymore.

“He who controls the mind controls the minds of the public.” - Noam Chomsky & Jim Morrison.
Most of us accept the fact that social media shortens our attention span.
But do we really understand the fact that it does not only do that, but much more - affecting our whole way of thinking?
“But it doesnt affect me” Is a commonly cited quote, which might be relevant to many readers of this text too. This is a projection of our everyday consciousness, which is ignorance. Our minds are very selective, and we are very prone to live in a one firmly set of habits. 
And in our day to day life, what are we actually working with, internally? 
If one can really be honest about this, one can observe that Memory is mostly being acted upon for the most part. That’s the main instrument that we are playing with. But there’s a downside to using primarily just memory. As wears out the brain, and gradually, when one gets old, brain gets slower and slower.
Unfortunately this has been taken as some sort of a fundamental truth, like there’s no other way to live, act, and learn. This is a very concerning trait of our Western culture. 
Piling up knowledge into our brains without really facing the fact that our brain has limited capacity, there are inevitable consequences and therefore the fragmentation of the brain will happen. The increasing amount of distractions in society and modern lifestyle takes us away from our true nature which is far beyond the common way of life, with a biased way of thinking and superficial emotional life.
What over indulgence of social media and the noncritical way of internalizing information does to us internally, is that it evades that essential spaciousness needed for the mind.
We don’t seem to realize that “Nothing is something”.
I strongly encourage you to take a step towards a better life and for the next moment when you notice yourself caught in the same behaviour pattern, just stop. When you’re after short term pleasures or constantly amusing yourself with entertainment, take a moment to reflect on your life. 
Another phenomenon of our state of mind is that “ It is not that deep bro “, also known as Postmodernism. This I wont go into into any further in this post.
Going back to what I was saying, it is essential for us to not always try to fill our boredom with something. Fun fact, indigenious people did not have a word for boredom. They were so aligned with nature, and the nature of universe, which is a gift and the alignment to that naturally brings out gratitude to oneself. Indigenious people would be stimulated to just see that the green is grass, wind is blowing, and the sky is blue. And the culture was more about mutual good. Meanwhile in our modern culture mental disorders are becoming more and more complex. 
Where do we go from here?
Order in the mind can only come out of the understanding of disorder.
Looking at ‘what is’, presently operating in the mind, IS in in fact disorder.
Our everyday consciousness, like previously said, is ignorance. 
There are at least 6 grand illusions that are inherited from the very beginning of our childhood, and are encouraged by educational system. 
1) The illusion of thought 2) The illusion of self 3) The illusion of knowledge 4) The illusion of time 5) The illusion of control 6) The illusion of fear.
Look up: Self-enquiry
It is also to mention, that division inevitably brings about conflict. Very dangerous way of thinking is that there’s one truth, that my side is the good side, and others are bad. This is just one trait of the habits of War, and all the ugliness in the world made by man.
Last words,
althought I might paint a very gloomy picture of our way of living, I see the radical honesty of that fact as essential. And it does not end there, this is perhaps the more important part. Once we really delve into this ‘living’ we call, we can start to go beyond it. A one single moment, an insight can bring about radical change in oneself. Maintaining this positive change within oneself, implies constant awareness of unawareness. Being present when our negative impulses kick in, we’re there in the moment and in that we have all the power to act rationally, sanely, and not to go along with it.

*ENTP Crona bringing flowers to paralyzed Maka after the whole Arachne web situation*
"Look Maka flowers!.. But it's strange why we bring flowers to the death? I wonder, maybe it is because it is a symbol of resurection, with plants withering away and flourishing again as seasons change- but weird that seasons and sessioming sound that simmilar to each other - I wonder if there is a connection or if jts a coincidence, like maybe as the chaning times give flavor to our lifes, so do the spices, brought by ships from diistant lands, Sea-soning - in a way or seeing the son - the sun going down as the ships pass the horizon... Kinda sad when one realises that without living at a shipyard one could die without ever realising that the earth must be round for that to be the case, for ships to disapear as empathy does when flat-earthers show their justified ignorance, only to be met with an ignorance of another kind - how can the world heal, how can there be order, if we can't even forgive those who lack education? But I guess life is the best teacher, with death being the graduation - so one better have a ship that can sail the seas to it, thats why we spend our lives building caskets and chosing decorations with which to make it more pleasing, giving it that taste, the buttersweetnes of this seasoning of this season, to the eye, as I did by bringing them and laying them here, I hope you like them, I find them nice...
*Maka thinking* "I wish the web made me deaf too..."

LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF 😇
Spirituality is a deeply personal and multifaceted concept, bearing distinct meanings for each individual. It serves as a guiding force for the spirit, offering a sense of direction, purpose, and moral compass. This spiritual state of mind has the remarkable ability to induce immediate calmness and stability, albeit temporarily. It encompasses various facets of life, including the flow of existence, the essence of breathing, connecting with the divine, expressing gratitude and love, manifestation, visualization, and the pursuit of life's purpose.
Our understanding of the subject only increases with time as we become more occupied with activities around us or maybe even forget to celebrate life for the small wins that we accomplish. If only we could recognize those small gains, will we be able to appreciate it & finally celebrate it. Spirituality for me is about slowing down & taking a step back. It’s really surprising how we know what all benefits it has & yet we are unable to spare time for it. Only with experience can we appreciate a feeling, and spiritual state of mind gives us the freedom to explore those feelings more.
In this exploration of spirituality, I firmly believe that there exists a higher power, an unseen force watching over us, ensuring that everything ultimately falls into place. It's a belief in a grander vision beyond our current understanding, providing us with what we need, even when it may not align with our wants.
The age-old question often arises: why do bad things happen to good people? My conviction lies in the principle of cosmic justice – what goes around comes around. The kindness and love we extend to others have a way of returning to us manifold. Conversely, our wrongdoings bear consequences, often within the same life cycle. Adversities may represent the repercussions of our misdeeds or serve as valuable lessons for personal growth.
Embarking on a journey of spirituality, meditation, particularly focusing on the essence of breathing, would be my starting point. Having experienced its benefits before, it troubles me that life's demands have distanced me from that serene state. It's akin to scaling a mountain, reaching 90% of the summit, and then descending. To restart and ascend anew is a daunting task, yet the silver lining lies in the familiarity our minds have with this practice. Meditation fosters awareness and mindfulness, essential attributes as we immerse ourselves in our professional lives. It empowers us to view situations from a broader perspective and guides us on how to respond, rather than react.
The subsequent step in this spiritual journey involves connecting with the divine. This connection can manifest through various avenues, but the destination remains constant – it acts as an invisible support system, bolstering our courage to confront our fears. Overcoming our fears is crucial to attaining the next level of spirituality, known as the flow of life. If our minds remain perpetually troubled or worried in every situation, they become obstacles hindering our smooth progress. The flow of life is about finding happiness in embracing whatever comes our way and our ability to return to our optimal state of mind, even in situations contrary to our desires. Resisting life's challenges relinquishes control to these circumstances, whereas embracing them empowers us.
The human mind is a fragile entity, requiring belief in something greater to maintain sanity during trying times. It's akin to the unwavering trust a child has in their parents' protection. Similarly, faith in a benevolent force, whether termed as God or by any other name, assures us that, ultimately, everything will be alright.
Spirituality not only equips us to confront adversity but also keeps us grounded during prosperous times. True humility, I believe, lies in refraining from exploiting power when we possess it, especially when dealing with those less fortunate. Spirituality sustains our humanity, irrespective of our material possessions. It instills the understanding that whatever we have is not truly ours; what we've earned is bestowed, and what we've lost in challenging times was never truly ours to begin with. This profound awareness safeguards us from the pitfalls of arrogance and compels us to value human connections over material wealth. Spirituality encourages us to perceive the world through a lens of greater humanity.
It imparts a sense of right and wrong, often blurring the boundaries that delineate them. While we inherently acknowledge these boundaries, they may become hazy without the guidance of spirituality. I believe a certain degree of fear is essential, preventing us from tampering with moral codes to suit our convenience.
In this context, spirituality transcends religious affiliations. It extends beyond the confines of any specific faith. It's the profound vibration coursing through our bodies when we engage in acts of kindness or bask in the glow of benevolent deeds. It's the meditative state where the mind relinquishes control, allowing the soul to access the vast knowledge that the universe holds. Each of us possesses an awakened spirit or soul, akin to the untapped potential of the human mind. Religion serves as a conduit for awakening our spiritual consciousness but doesn't encompass spirituality in its entirety. Spirituality is the core essence that connects us to the universe and to one another, reminding us of our intrinsic capacity to transcend our limitations and embrace the profound interconnectedness of existence.

It’s tempting to talk to everyone I cross paths with about my current endeavors, my goals and plans I’m working on.
I remember the times I did give into the temptation. Talking somebodies ears off about my hopes, dreams, and how I plan on achieving them. I was then followed with disappointment when I realized it didn’t work out how I said it would.
The less I talked to others about my plans, the more progress towards my hopes & dreams I would see. The more selective I got with who I’m going to rant or rave about the progress of my plans, the closer I got to what I’ve been working towards.
This reminded me that not everyone has good intentions towards you. This reminded me that people can be envious of what you’ve accomplished and what you’re working on. Envious of what you have. Not everyone is going to like you or wish you the best in achieving your goals and dreams in life. All of this is okay. It’ll never matter or affect you in any way unless you give it the power to do so.
Protecting my energy from those who try to leech off of it. From those who try to taint my positive energy and would have a field day if I were to fail and never try again.
Not giving a fuck about getting validation from others is so freeing & empowering. Going for what I truly love and what I’m living for without the societal pressures of working a 9-5 because making art for a living “isn’t possible”. Appreciating every win, big or small. Doing what I’ve set my mind to, actually seeing progress, and celebrating wins with the closest to me…
… that’s all that ever mattered!

Honest Woman October (Draft)
Another honest October.
When it comes to emotionally hurting without remorse, men are masters at task. I have started again to second guess every single turn and word that's stuck in my brain, and yet these bastards just keep on hurting left and right. Truthfully, I am angry. How can E just start and stop, come close or retreat however the fuck he prefers. How can this random dude from last week just unload his trauma on me, using my insecurities as his safety blanket. God I am furious. I ignored these mind games for so long and yet here I am again,
upset that I was raised a woman.
