Act: 1, Chapter: 20 - uncertainty in the darkness

Those days are rough, but just gotta push through. Hope it gets going for you!

“The main ‘overlap’ is in public perception, since many people assume that kind and nice are the same thing,” Sirota said. “On the surface, an act of kindness can look similar to an act of niceness, but the motivations behind the two acts are very different, and the energy around the acts is also quite dissimilar.” While a nice person might go to great lengths to gain approval from others (potentially even causing harm in the process), a kind person engages in generous acts built on a foundation of self-love.

“They also take good care of themselves, and they don’t tolerate mistreatment or disrespect,” Sirota said. “They have good boundaries, and they feel comfortable saying ‘no.’” Saying “no” might in fact be an act of true kindness, especially if it’s in service of someone else’s well-being.

Futher explanation on being kind but not nice. I need you all to understand the two.

Hey @elpisdarling.bsky.social- What is this?
tw antiblack racism

AHA! Finally stopped being lazy and got the strings on my guitar. Only took… 4 years… 🙃

It’s hard wanting to motivate myself with music again lol

I do. Not a super ton since college but I still have decks and keep up with it. Like to play when I can make time lol

I used to be very invested into it

That’s also a huge plus, always good to have something like that

This and my last post go hand in hand.

You all also need to be okay with people not vibeing with or liking your OC. It's normal / okay for people not to like them. Even if they are a self insert.
Some personalities just do not mix.
Be okay with that.

Hell yeah lol tbh with MTG that’s sometimes what you gotta do especially when getting familiar with the game, it works sometimes

My biggest problem as a writer, both for my own stuff and fan fiction stuff, is I really need to stop treating everything like a job with deadlines, requirements, etc

I seriously keep losing the love and fun of my hobbies because my life has been deadlines.

Some self reflective thoughts today lol

Barbecuing for one of my folks birthday, had a couple margaritas. Forgot how easy it can be to just not stress out and relax for couple hours lol

I need more non-RPGs to play I swear 🤣

So many to choose but I limited myself to 1 per franchise (and the amount I could’ve added is endless), but 9 games that really inspired me, crushed me or otherwise just great games

I had too many outfits and hairstyles to choose from but she is beautiful in any and all. @connashots.com #ffxivoc #ocsky #ocart

Actually I guess for the sake of physicals, I could always sell each act as a physical copy. But I’d have to heavily debate that became that’s more work and this story premise was a “5 book premise”

I’m totally sane don’t worry about it

As much as I’d really love to do physical releases of my book one day, the amount of work it would take is scary

The first ACT is bigger than some of the Harry Potter and Tolkien books, so the sheer size would be a nightmare to make into physicals.

I’m glad I can digitally do this 🙃

Me: Free day! I'm gonna get soooo much done today!!

Also me:

Feeling accomplished, managed to finish the entirety of the first act of the first book of Tale to the King

This story has been in the making for over ten years, with constant rewrites, redos, etc, and being able to feel this way and see meaningful progress is insane

I want whatever he’s having

Okay but tbh flip phones are cool. And actually fit in peoples pockets 😂

“Too easy” 🙃 what?

Whoops!

Sometimes I have the audacity to start a message, get distracted and finish it with incomprehensible bullshit and act like I made sense

Don’t leave messages half finished, put a . Or something. Dont be me confusing everyone in a single go 😗

Say it louder! I like the way he’s looking but that would help a lot lol

Last night was rough, but it was nice to be reminded that despite the bad I’ve endured, I have plenty of good still as well, and amazing friends to remind me of that

I’m alright, just tired heh

In unrelated and brighter news, I had started a new run of FF15 as I try to do yet another level 1 run. Because why not

You know… that’s a valid point lol

My guy, you could’ve picked a more flattering image of Kuja, doing the man dirty 🤣
