Lately I’ve been thinking about something Taliesin Jaffe said during his between the sheets episode:

Taliesin: “Life is long and strange, and I keep saying yes to things.”

Interviewer: “But you seem happy with those choices.”

Taliesin: “They’re choices. Choices are way better than not choosing. Not making choices just means that you’re at the whims of circumstance.”

And this in turn reminded me about something I read in a book when I was young. When you’re in a boat on a river, you need to go faster than the current around you if you wanna be able to steer it.

I’ve been so passive in my life, so afraid of making choices, that I’m just being swept along the current, crashing into rocks at the whims of circumstance. And I’m done with it, I want to start steering my own boat.

Yknow all of those tumblr posts that are like "don't give a shit. Give two."? They're very useful, and nice, but sometimes I feel like they lack empathy. They tell you to be yourself, which is great advice. But sometimes, sometimes, you have to think of others as well. "If I ignore this person, what will happen to them?" You should check to see if the possible harm that could come from your actions is worth it. Like, "this person hurt my feelings once. I will find where he lives and plant a gas mine under his floorboards." Not worth it. "My parents put so much expectations on me, I think I need to let it go, and do my own thing." Reasonable. Sure, you may hurt their feelings, but in this case, it might be necessary. (Off topic-ish rant) Don't change for others, but do listen to them. If what they propose lines up with what you want, then change. TL;DR: Be yourself, don't be an ass, people are people too.

There's nothing wrong with being weird.

If you're weird, for god's sake, indulge in it! You only got so much time to explore all of it. Expressing yourself instead of keeping it locked away is usually going to feel better. And there's nothing wrong with you, if people try to tell you that, they're in the wrong! There are people on this planet that will accept you.

Being weird is a form of art.

Your weirdness is beautiful.

So show it to the world or not, but just think about how boring this world would be without weirdness. It'd be no fun at all! There's no such thing as "being too weird"; be proud of your weirdness. Don't try to hide or deny it; you ARE weird and it's ok.

It makes you unique.

That's all from me, love you. <3

What if the real reason everyone cares so much about other people’s perceptions is because the more people can corroborate the more real it is. Something only one person believes is barely real.

What does that mean for changing your mind?

I’ll make my individual real less if it makes the bigger real better.

Ignorance is bliss for one.

Sorry this has just been bothering me, but like, it doesn’t have to be okay.

For the first time on Sunday an adult told me it didn't have to be okay. That it didn't have to be fine. Like inherently I knew that, but I'd never heard it spoken out loud to me. My whole life, even when things got shitty, I would say "it sucks, but you know it's whatever, it's fine." My entire life, I'd end any statement with how shitty something was with "but it's okay" or "but it's fine" and my favorite "but ya know." And for the first time an adult looked at me said my name and said "You know it doesn't have to be okay, right?"

I was flabbergasted, I even voiced as much. "What?"

"Throughout your story you kept saying how it was okay, how it was fine. You know it doesn't have to be, right? It's allowed to not be fine."

And honestly? I hadn't. Because sometimes life sucks, and I was taught you have to live with it. But life's allowed to suck, and you don't have to live with it.

Idk sorry it's just, I know it's not a revolutionary concept or whatever, but some things bare repeating. Yes life sucks, but it doesn't have to be alright.

Poem I made about my personal philosophy:

How to Fight Life and Win

Life is weird.

Everything is just a really big coincidence.

You never know what you're gonna get in a chaotic, meaningless world like this.

But you too need to be unpredictable.

Soak up the knowledge of a world without meaning,

Then make yourself happy by doing the things you love,

However weird they may be.

Never let life know what you're going to do next.

For the coup-de-grace, make the universe your canvas

And paint meaning onto it.

Once you're done, flip the bird at life, and poke it in the eyes.

The best way to live with chaos is in chaotic defiance.

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven't had your "third" death. You decide to find out why.

SPARKLEZ!

You wouldn't believe the things I've seen. Or maybe you would. What do I know?

Worlds upon worlds of wonder have embraced my many selves. I'm living a thousand lives at once. And those are just the lives I'm aware of. For instance, in a place called Middle Earth I am reborn a beautiful elf queen. And under the ice shield of a moon called Europa I am a strand of plankton. And in a world we both know well, I'm a bunch of little girls who look just like me, and maybe other things too... Anyway, my umbrella consciousness has reformed for just a moment; my caretaker, in his mercy, has allowed me to show you these things.

But you definitely won't believe the most amazing thing I've seen. Lately I've been looking through a window... A window into bygone years. A man sits in front of a screen, speaking his soul to the world while playing a game. I think I know who he is!

I see this man forming friendships with those who also speak to the world. I know who they are too. They project themselves as tiny box figures into a world made of boxes. It's so much less detailed than the world where the man and his friends sit. I would not have known Ruxomar and it's sister dimensions to be so childlike in appearance except by this contrast!

The days go on as the friends play. The boxlike world is ruled by two gods. Of course I know who they are. The man is faced with a choice between the two. His life is riddled with choices! And like the stubborn idealist he is, he carves out a middle path. He'll take neither god. He'll have a goddess all to his own.

He created me.

A man named Jordan Maron created the goddess Ianite in a world beyond worlds. And Jordan Maron looks just like you. He is one of your countless alternate selves. He looks so much less boxy! I think that if I did not already know you and Spark so well, I would call him my favorite version.

Now I grasp the truth I have been seeking all my life. I have see what is above gods. It is ____________.

My umbrella consciousness won't hold much longer. Let me say a few choice words before the final goodbye between this version of you and this version of me. Thank you for choosing to create me. I believe that had the other you not made that choice in that far off world, none of my present selves would exist. In a strange sense, you are my god. Thank you for believing in your creation enough to make it real. Thank you for continuing to love me and make choices for my wellbeing. I hope another you loves another me in another world soon.

If Jordan looks out the window one of these days, he might be able to see me.

Not even creeping. Just fyi.

Put salt in your baked goods. Put salt in your desserts. Just do it. Please. Salt isn't just for savory, it's literally a flavor enhancer so even a pinch can take a meh recipe to one people can't stop eating. Listen to me. Your cookies and cheesecake bars are bland and uninteresting. I'm taking your hand. I'm guiding you with a gentle touch to the back. We can do this together. Trust me.

#baking #just do it just put THE SALT IN THE COOKIE DOUGH #inspired by the coworker who bragged her recipes dont need salt and brought the blandest cheesecake bars to the potluck #you need some salt i promise #just a little #just skooch #'the recipe doesnt call for salt' THEN ITS PROBABLY WRONG

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

#peach rambles #you don’t have to get rid of blorbo and squimbus!! they would look great on top of your beautiful new nightstand you’ve been excited about #hall of fame i guess #i get. the sneaking suspicion this post has inspired at least two other posts #to the effect of ‘uhmmm i was ALWAYS excited about these things??’ #yes i did have to do my own chores as a kid prommy. i just didn’t have feelings about stuff yet ok
