Responding to direct requests for aid from our contacts in the area, we are loading up a truck and heading north to support our fellow southerners this weekend. We need to make $2000 fast to cover the entire wishlist provided to us by folks in North Carolina. Can you help us? Cash-app and Venmo is @/TeamKombatikon. Donations can also be made through ko-fi.com/angelito

Thank you so much!

"𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬."

Individuals who feel compelled to conceal their true passions and interests in order to conform to the expectations and desires of others often experience a profound sense of suppression and loneliness. This suppression stems from the lack of opportunity for genuine self-expression, which is essential for personal identity and fulfillment. When one hides their true self, they may feel as though they are not truly who they are, but rather a mere imitation of those around them. This can be particularly disheartening because each person has a unique voice and a wealth of thoughts and experiences to share.

Pretending to have interests that align with those of a friend, even when you do not genuinely share them, is unlikely to resolve this issue. While you may be trying to please your friend by feigning enthusiasm, this approach does not allow for authentic interaction. In such scenarios, friends may express themselves freely, and you listen attentively, but when you attempt to share your own thoughts and interests, you may find that no one is willing to listen. This imbalance can lead to a feeling of invisibility and frustration, as you become a passive recipient of others’ expressions without having the chance to reciprocate.

It is possible that once you embrace the power of self-expression and allow your true self to shine, some people may no longer enjoy your company. They might perceive you as strange or too different due to your unique preferences and the way you choose to express yourself. However, it is important to consider whether these relationships are truly fulfilling. If the cost of maintaining these connections is the suppression of your own identity, it may be time to let them go.

Ultimately, it is crucial to seek out individuals who value and appreciate you for who you truly are. These are the people who will find you interesting and will be genuinely interested in listening to your thoughts and stories about your hobbies and passions. By surrounding yourself with such supportive and understanding individuals, you can create an environment where self-expression is encouraged and celebrated, allowing you to thrive and feel truly connected to others.

I filled out and submitted a volunteer form to a society that cares for a local environmental preserve. I did an invasive pull/native plant afternoon with a friend at a different park in the winter and found it really fulfilling and social. I'm so jazzed. I've been reading about bogs and mosses and fungi lately and I want to spend time learning about these things in my own home by caring for them with my own hands. I was running in the preserve today and thinking about all the time I'd spent there over the years. I used to live near it when I was younger and spent a lot of time there. It's so beautiful and dear.
