amongst the wildflowers @persiesgarden - Tumblr Blog

hi! i’m seph vi. welcome to my blog! i hope you enjoy your visit. feel free to stay tuned if you want to read some unique stuff. there's always something new happening here. :)

✨things to know✨ 🌸 i have divine protection. i genuinely don't give a rat's ass at all about the wellbeing of white supremacists or hateful misogynists who fetishize & dehumanize women & people of color. you also must be 18+ in order to be here. this blog is still SFW but i strongly prefer only interacting with fellow adults. if i catch any under 18s here, i'm kicking you off my blog. i’m not here for any low vibrational BS. where i come from, we always keep it real & try to stay positive. you having a hard time? that’s okay. make like queen aaliyah, dust yourself off & try again. lead with love. be kind to people. heal your broken hearts. transmute your pain & stop letting hate consume you. karmic debts are very, very real!

disclaimer: i block liberally and without apology. also, no always means no. accept that.

✨links✨ ao3: shewhoshines (fanfics for mortal kombat & nevermore webtoon) poems & short stories: sephvi on poetry soup (for all original non-fandom works)

quotes that help me survive:

“You are not lost. You are here. Stop abandoning yourself. Stop repeating this myth about love and success that will land in your lap or evade you forever. Build a humble, flawed life from the rubble, and cherish that. There is nothing more glorious on the face of the earth than someone who refuses to give up, who refuses to give in to their most self-hating, discouraged, disillusioned self, and instead learns, slowly and painfully, how to relish the feeling of building a hut in middle of the suffocating dust.” — Heather Havrilesky, Ask Polly

this tumblr text post:

“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” — Mary Oliver

From an interview with Kazu Makino:

Instructions On Not Giving Up, Ada Limon:

“You have to believe, in your heart, that even if you don’t work hard and exercise and think positive thoughts and make new friends and march triumphantly into the future, you are still enough. You will always have bad days. Being broken doesn’t make you a loser. You can crumble, and you will still be enough. Make that your religion moving forward. You are here to feel this moment. You are not here to become someone better. You are not here to impress or compete. You are not here to prove yourself. You are here to savor this life. Let down your guard. You are already enough. Believe it.” — Heather Havrilesky

“The first feminist gesture is to say: “Ok. They’re looking at me. But I’m looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but by how I see them.” -Agnès Varda

lyrics from the song Grow by The Oh Hellos:

“The world’s otherness is antidote to confusion, that standing within this otherness—the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books—can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.” — Mary Oliver

“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you,and that you will work with these stories from your life--not someone else's life--water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. That is the work. The only work.” — Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Novels are real writing.

Short stories are real writing.

Nonfiction is real writing.

Poetry is real writing.

Fanfic is real writing.

Blog posts are real writing.

Prompting a clanker to make up words for you is not writing.

to rise and to fall

Some people say that loving souls in positions of power are ideally going to be someone with a great duty to the greater world as well as a personal goal to try to improve themselves. Others believe that a good soul who cares about others ultimately knows the value of relying on self-reflection and avoiding the brutal violence and the pillaging of our wealth. There are others who think sad souls in positions of power think they are too great and make excuses while refusing change and growth instead of mastering the hand they were dealt. Being cruel to everyone and never ever apologizing for anything bad that they do and failing to grow is exactly how these souls arrive in the shadow realm. To wind up in the shadow realm is to face extensive spiritual karma that forces you to rethink your entire life from the first house to the twelfth. So we do what we must to learn from their mistakes; for we know this is a time period where everyone has to check themselves before they wreck themselves. I walk away from conflicts in the name of a deep peace that keeps me from suffering so I can bring my people more light because community spirit doesn't belong abandoned on a shelf.
