these days I am playing match 3 story games with my mom and well let's admit these days the stories there are really great and way better than the ones that voltage is bringing up and regularly updating on the love 365 app. snapshots from lily's garden. I am in love with the relaxing soundtrack of this game and the story and lily are so cool!

anyway I just love this banter. after the mystery matters game this is the game that I want to regularly play with my mom. honestly I am more invested in the story line than her but it is a good bonding option for us and a good way to unwind

Rey is a bit manipulative like Roy but more dashing. I am glad I finally returned to this game just in time to play the event. I am so looking forward to more of a stories

anyone else feeling the same?!

I could only read him and hawk and honestly I don't have any regrets. I would have loved the read Dewi as well but yeah no time and well these two were my first priority

YOU GUYS IT’S DECEMBER 10TH YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN IN MY QUEUE SINCE FEBRUARY

[donttwalkaway-deactivated201302]

you have the rest of the day to reblog this

December has a way of stirring up emotions we thought we’d tucked away. The world feels loud with celebration, but not everyone enters this month with lightness — and that’s okay.

If you’re carrying the weight of complicated family dynamics, or navigating memories that don’t feel warm or safe, I want to remind you of this:

You’re not dramatic for feeling tense when everyone else seems cheerful. You’re not distant for taking space you genuinely need. You’re not “ruining the holidays” by choosing your mental and emotional well-being over old patterns that hurt you.

It’s okay if your December looks different this year. It’s okay if it looks like choosing slower mornings, quiet nights, or spending time only with the people who actually make you feel seen. It’s okay if it looks like healing in small ways — or just holding yourself together until the month passes.

Traditions can be rewritten. Home can be created. Family can be chosen.

And you deserve all of it — softness, safety, and the kind of comfort that doesn’t demand you shrink to fit in.

So if this month feels heavy, please remember: Your emotions matter. Your boundaries are real and necessary. And you’re allowed to build a December that feels kinder than the Decembers that came before.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re growing, healing, and finding your way — and that is more than enough.

honestly why read a title that ain't updated in ages... this is making me paranoid hmm but i wish people read and then we gonna get an update??

[annicaax]

ktbb vertical english only?! yep voltage has completed ALL other titles so THEY CAN PICK OLD TITLE AND REVAMP. LIKE WHY?? COS IT SELLS?

well okay

I just open this out of curiosity no offence to ktbb fans but I wish voltage does justice to all the other titles that are remained unattended

honestly the display is so bad and to think they have priced it at 980 coins... they definitely want to make money out of their best loved fandom out of their English fan base without bothering about the other fans. because in the end All that matters to them is money isn't it

sorry I sound harsh here but I have been frustrated with voltage for almost many years now

Hey, gentle soul. This is your reminder that you’re allowed to take up space, even on the days you feel small.

Some days, your heart feels heavier than your body can hold. Your thoughts move slowly, your motivation flickers, and everything feels like it takes twice as much effort. And maybe you’ve been wondering why you can’t just “push through” like everyone else seems to.

But here’s the truth: you’re carrying more than you give yourself credit for. Emotional weight counts too. Invisible battles matter. Healing takes energy—even when you can’t see it happening.

You’re allowed to:

Move more slowly than others.

Take breaks without explaining yourself.

Say “I’m tired” even if you can’t point to a reason.

Feel proud of surviving a day that felt impossible.

None of these things makes you a burden. They make you human.

Be gentle with yourself today. You don’t need to transform your life overnight. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is breathe through a difficult moment and trust that it won’t last forever. Sometimes strength looks like drinking a glass of water, brushing your hair, or letting yourself rest without guilt.

Healing grows in quiet places. In the moments you think don’t matter. In the pauses between your worries. In the soft ways you show up for yourself—again and again—despite everything.

Please remember this: You are not behind. You are not failing. You are moving at the pace that keeps you alive, and that is more than enough.

One day, you’ll look back and realize these slow, shaky days were not wasted… They were the foundations of your strength.

You deserve kindness. From others, yes—but especially from yourself. Keep going, softly. I’m proud of you.

Some lessons on friendship in adulthood that took me a little longer to realize. Friendships are awesome, wonderful things, but some come with a bit of learning. Every friendship can be different!

What am going through since a decade but ruminating lately. am starting to wonder if my friendships are toxic because they don't support me when I'm struggling with depression yet want me to support them their creative work etc... and they offer apathetic responses? And always try to twist our talk to their problems instead of being a listener 😞

Cute ... My autistic brain wants me to try crochet next.... Lol

Figuring out your brain types mine AuADHD ... Is a great step towards feeling liberated. Yeah life is still chaotic but you know the WHY, and you know why you need to be KIND, PATIENT with yourself.

[positive-pumpkin]

you are not behind.

it’s easy to look at everyone else and feel like you’re missing something — like you should have figured it all out by now, like you should be happier, further, better.

but the truth is: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. your timeline doesn’t have to match anyone else’s. your pace is yours. your growth is yours.

maybe your story is slower, softer, quieter — but that doesn’t make it any less meaningful. you are living, learning, and healing at your own rhythm.

Don’t rush yourself trying to meet someone else’s idea of progress. You are not late. You are not lost. You are becoming. And that’s beautiful.

UGH

Marriage got to be the thing hmm or spice... why aren't titles like PLUST, TLH not updated?? Rose in the Embers etc and manynmore ugh

voltage, ya need to end those stories okay, in a way they deserve!!

i know TLH was abandoned but can i hope for PLUST??? it's such a shame to abandon that title while newer ones like oops i said yes get new dudes and seasons

how many times did i whine about this? at least you're updating RMD. But i really miss the gang's side Stories. and you bring Matsunaga fast I tell you!!!

finally I'm getting into otome again despite my mental health struggles and depression issues,

it feels nice, getting back to things you love, though slowly and not in a way as before. its been a rough week. couldnt do much. some lndp, checking out old favs in love 365 like RMd. last week i did read yasunari from wait I'm the bride. it was nice, at least but not as much as rmd or other favs of mine. personal choice yeah and probably underrated.

honestly i think mobile otome have been losing their versatility. voltage especially... every title revolving around marriage ... ugh. pc games are fun but feel less handy and more time to complete

but i will be getting back to those. I'm finally playing will's route in made marion and i am loving it...

to anyone who read this post, i hope you're doing well. ❤️nfeel free to comment your thoughts below. happy fall and happy Thanksgiving 💕
