I was reading some of The Witch of Atlus by Percy Shelley earlier (a perfectly normal thing to do on a gloomy rainy Saturday morning) It makes me incredibly sad to get short hand "wyd hmu" texts already, but; especially after reading beautiful rich descriptive language for a few minutes and swapping back over. It's like... looking at a masterwork 18th century oil painting, and then at an AI generated moe anime catgirl with a "nyan" thought bubble. It hurts. (Don't bully me, I love cat girls to be clear; everynyan does. Just using a metaphor to contrast) So when anybody dusts off antiquated jewelry clothing accessories or furniture I love it. Dust off a bit of prose sometime too. Planning an event with friends dont Say in 3 months there's a concert? Will you be accompanying in attendance; "when the mother of months has thrice bent her bow beside the folding star." Yes dude. Yes. I'm not just going. Im buying your ticket. Actually, what do you want to do right now? I would be beside myself trying to wait for a cup of gas station coffee if someone invited me to 7/11 like that. :-/ Stan some new or old writers or aestetically pleasing artists. I'll include a reply of peak catgirl so nobody is offended #goth #poetry #reading #culture (edited)

Oh, it’s my favorite unpaid, full-time job. I start with a simple thought — like, ‘Did I lock the door?’ — and five minutes later, I’m questioning my childhood, my career choices, my existence, and whether I used the correct tone in that one text message 8 hours ago. I don’t just think — I think,... read more

Logged off! Mentally? That happened 3 hours ago. Physically? Just now. Emotionally? Still buffering.

— It's not a question of "WHEN." When will the pain end? When will I move on? When can I stop my heart from missing and loving someone? When will I be happy again? And the list goes on for all your "WHEN?" But while the goal is to be in that place, forget the "WHEN" (for now), and focus on... read more

They thought -- I made you up-- but you're real. I carry your name in quiet places, where love doesn't need proof to be true. (edited)

Show up when you're uninspired. Show up when your brain is constructing compelling arguments for why you should skip today, just this once. Because "just this once" is how dreams die quietly in the space between intention and action.

When motivation fails to show up—and it will—remember this: your destiny isn't determined by how you feel. It's determined by what you do anyway.

When you can rely on yourself to do what you say you'll do, regardless of how you feel, you unlock a freedom that motivation could never provide. You become unshakeable. You become unstoppable.

Show up especially when you don’t want to. Especially when you’re tired, uninspired, or lost. That’s when you prove to yourself that you are not a slave to your moods.

Motivation is a feeling. Discipline is a decision. You cannot build a life on feelings alone. They come and go, shifting with the weather, with your mood, with the chaos of the world. But a decision—repeated, reinforced, honored—becomes a habit.

Some days, motivation abandons you. It evaporates the moment your alarm rings, leaving only the weight of obligation. On those days, you want to roll over, to disappear into comfort. Motivation is fickle. It is a spark, not a furnace. It cannot be trusted to build anything lasting.

Discipline is the quiet force that drags you out of bed when inspiration fails. It is the steady hand that guides you through the motions, even when your heart isn’t in it. Discipline is not glamorous. It is not loud. It does not care if you feel like it. And that is its power.

Discipline doesn't care about your feelings. It doesn't negotiate with your excuses or entertain your elaborate justifications for why today should be different. Discipline is the unglamorous, relentless force that shows up when motivation has packed its bags and left town.

Some days you won't feel motivated. Show up anyway. Discipline builds the life motivation can't maintain.

Discipline is repetition without reward, action without applause, consistency without celebration. It's the daily choice to honor your future self over your present comfort.

You know, there have been a few dark days on my pages. It was hard to read the plot. Impossible to tell a script. Sometimes, the actors stumbled, all too unaware of their untied laces and sloppy make-up. But it's hard to see in the dark. What do we expect of the average comedian, when the lights go... read more

I can't keep a journal. I tried to in the past but I end up shredding everything. I think it's fear of someone finding it and reading it. I wouldn't want that. Besides, I've come to realize I only write when I need to vent something out, kind of like catharsis, on paper just to "get it off my... read more
