jumping on the "regional Miku" bandwagon a bit late, but here's "Champlain Valley/Plattsburgh NY Miku" 🌲

the plushie she's holding is of Champ (AKA "Champy") the legendary lake monster said to live in Lake Champlain.

weirdly specific? maybe. but the idea came to me today and i couldn't just let it be an idea.

Some of us choose to do more than the bare minimum, okay?

Today I went to Tran Quoc Pagoda after my AA meeting. the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi, is located on a small island near the southeastern shore of Hanoi's West Lake, Vietnam. It is over 1500 old. On the grounds of Tran Quoc is a Bodhi tree taken as cutting of the original tree in Bodh Gaya, India under which the Buddha sat and achieved enlightenment. The gift was made in 1959, marking the visit of the Indian president Rajendra Prasad. Most of the meetings are now far far away from Time city all the way in Tây Ho. It takes me an hour easily to get there due to all the traffic when the meetings are. (This is the reason I was living in Tay Honearky in my recovery. I’m not used to meetings being so short. The meetings in Hanoi are only one hour at the maximum. And many times they end meetings only because no one has anything to say. In the United States meetings go for 90 minutes whether people talk or not . It’s to get people comfortable with silence. Some people are court ordered to go to A.A. in the US so we don’t reward them with short meetings just because they don’t want to share. Sobriety csbt take shortcuts Sơn ratings shoukd br the full hour also! It’s different here in Hanoi but I really do wish that we had a full 60 minutes in a perfect world the full 90 minutes. some people need these meetings more than others. Everyone needs them equally I just mean at the moment I am currently going through such a horrific struggle. I am constantly forced to defend who I am. people refused to look at me as just another human. They would show compassion to someone with cancer to someone that lost a limb in war which are all negative things. But the most positive thing that’s ever happened to me in my life, I discovered who I truly am. Something I consider a miracle, many people look down on with shame, blame me for people making fun of them for me being transgender. I now understand how countries could be so backwards during the civil rights movement. We like to think that we would’ve stood up for people of color if we where white. But I now see so many people would’ve just looked the other way. I can see people blaming people that married people of another race. As humans we are such hypocrites. We want to believe in an Almighty God that knows everything and we are created in Gods image but when we come across someone that we don’t agree with we look at them as inferior. So please explain to me if God truly doesn’t love all races equally looks down on homosexuals and doesn’t believe in being transgender why would you worship a God that would do these things, why would you worship a God that would make humans that they themselves don’t love. if I’m gonna believe in and love a God then I’m gonna believe that the God is perfect not fallible like humans. Whatever creation that God may make is a creation that they must surely love. So I will never compromise I will never back down I will never show sympathy for someone that looks down on me. I can feel empathy for people that are ignorant or were brought up in highly ignorant societies. And I’m not calling anyone country ignorant, in the United States we have ignorance everywhere. So please I hope no one ever misquotes me and think I blame a country which I don’t. I blame ignorant humans in ignorant societies around the world. I finally love myself I finally love who I am, I’m finally happy with who I am. People close to me treat me like I should be thankful for still having them in my life when I feel they are the lucky ones to know someone as special as me. Anybody can go with the flow anyone can do what is easy . Those that do what’s difficult, those that go against the current, those are the people one should truly inspire to be like. Don’t be a sheep , a follower and you don’t need to be a leader either. But march to the beat of your own drum. Don’t pretend you hear someone else’s music and ignore your own beautiful song, be true to yourself or be miserable.
