Self-reflective.

We.

I dunno about we. I like we. I like the sound of we. The feel of we. Fingers like feathers dusting along knuckles, skin reddened like a setting sun, blistered deep maroon-purple the shapes of blurry, cutting crescent moons. Sighs and spent bodies and stories at night.

When I put it that way we sounds fantastic.

I can still be scared of we. Maybe I shouldn’t be. Sometimes a man can’t help it. Sometimes his back aches. Sometimes old bullet-wounds  in the leg start throbbing again, and he thinks about blood and icy faces struck with hints of wide-eyed, melancholic surprise. Sometimes that’s what happens to ‘we’.

I don’t know. She likes we. I’ll say it a few times. I think I can ignore the back pain for now.

where once

where once I cast a shadow I now find an empty page the light was all I had though landing on this tattered stage I've seen the tables turning and I know what those acts mean the potential for earnings cut out of here in the spring where once I cast fated die I now roll but ash and bone for we no longer ask why we just submit to the throne I have seen this errored way now become the only path gilded furor left in play only room for writ and wrath we cannot turn a blind eye and then still expect to see operators standing by who are there for you and me where once I bled in battle I now find the tap is dry enough to have me rattled but is it here I shall die I have seen hope returning have watered it with my tears the lack of light concerning hasn't been this dark in years we cannot turn a blind eye and then still expect to see operators standing by who are there for you and me hang it up, force perspective drop out of the fucking fight follow your own directive and be your own fucking light where once I looked for answers I now turn to reconcile the potency of cancers that we churn out with a smile I've seen all that tomorrow could bare if we would grow it but we breed only sorrow and what's worse is that we know it we cannot turn a blind eye and then still expect to see operators standing by who are there for you and me hang it up, force perspective drop out of the fucking fight follow your own directive and be your own fucking light where once I cast a shadow and I had long been resigned to be there but for battle now I come only to shine I have seen hope returning have watered it with my tears let's set these bridges burning not been there for us in years we cannot turn a blind eye and then still expect to see operators standing by who are there for you and me hang it up, force perspective drop out of the fucking fight follow your own directive and be your own fucking light (05/05/26)

What type of person do you want to be?

Someone who can make people smile through indulging in the creative arts. Or maybe the performs arts? Who knows, but I love seeing how happy people get when I give them gufts or make them laugh. :D

Day 1: hopefully of several

Well this is the beginning and hopefully there is more to come. I've started 2 or 3 blogs before but none of them managed to live further than a week or two so hopefully this will live longer but I don't know. So, why am I writing this blog? Well I have a few worries and concerns every now and then and I want to write them out as a sort of self-reflective, therapeutic type of thing. My biggest concerns are in relation to my parents, my sexuality, my religion and my relationship status. All stuff I assume most average uni aged guys (and people of other genders) concern themselves with. So obviously I'm not trying to be unique or original or creative but I'm putting this out there to see if I might find people who I can relate to. So I'll leave my inbox open (or whatever it's called, it's been years since I used Tumblr) and if anyone out there wants to chat I'll try to respond. Now on to the issues, the big one as of recent has been dating/relationships. I'm a little clueless about both, especially relationships. I've been on a bunch of dates before but things start to fizzle out and I often feel as though it would have been nice to have just been friends rather than to try dating each other. Like I'm quite a shy, introverted person (as I assume most of you on this platform are), so most people I meet I meet online. Whether that's through a dating app like tinder or through Reddit (that happened once and was probably one of my best dating experiences). And I feel like there is a disconnect with that. Like I feel like everyone is looking for perfect or has no clue what they want but knows exactly what they don't want. I include myself in this. This leaves me feeling kind of down about myself, as though because I don't get a lot of matches there's some problem with me. Or being concerned about how difficult it seems to be to find someone when other people I know seem to start relationships so easily. Like I also worry about a relationship, like I've only ever been with someone for a month or 2 so I have a bunch of concerns about messaging and seeing the other person. Like how often is too often to message someone and is seeing each other weekly enough? Like I love to message a lot and chat for ages but will that last and what happens when that fades away? Anyway I'm rambling and this probably appears quite whiny but hey I'm sure there's someone out there who feels kind of similar. I'll leave it at that for today. I wish you all a great day and hopefully you all can figure these kind of problems out as well.

Self reflective

When you’re well aware of things rationally, but your emotions tend to get the better of you. Most of my life has been this type of battle, but experience can only be gained by wading through those failures and challenges.  My fellow self-reflectors, fight the good fight.

Online Play in P4AU as Yu Narukami

I really need to learn some combo strings (That aren't a, a, b, miss with Raging Lion/Heroic Bravery) and spacing... 0/16 is not a good number. There's a lot more I'm bad at but the only way to get better at climbing walls is to try.
