I refuse to fall for 'Regulus was smarter/more intelligent than Sirius' propaganda. People besmirch Sirius fucking Black for Regulus 'I put a do not enter sign on my bedroom door' Black.

what i learned during my reflection period⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🧖🏽‍♀️🎀

as you may or may not have noticed, i've been hiatus for most of the month now. and i disappeared because of personal reasons, and one of those reasons being that i felt i needed to reflect. here are some things that i've learned and realized during my reflection time.

this is quite personal to me, but i wanted to kind of have a heart to heart with you guys and im sure that someone is probably struggling with what i mention in this post so i hope this is comforting...💬🎀

WHY I FELT STUCK IN MY LOA JOURNEY ;

i was literally doing the most and it felt like such a chore at the time. i would force myself to affirm in ways that felt unnatural, i was letting myself get bullied by the 3D, even though i KNOW i dont have to do a thing. i was putting way too much effort in the wrong way.

WHAT'D I DO ABOUT IT ;

i took a step back and RELAXED. i did what felt natural again and enjoyed manifesting again and because of that i've had success story after success story...💬🎀

DOING A SELF AUDIT ;

i wanted to take a second and expose toxic behaviors and patterns that i noticed i exhibit and that have started to affect not only my physical but my mental in a very very negative way.

i'd been struggling with regulating my emotions and managing them so i was a walking ball of stress 💀. a beautiful ball of stress but stress nonetheless. i just felt so stuck.

WHAT'D I DO ABOUT IT ;

i went through the motions and after having a total meltdown and doing a bit of journalling i released everything, giving myself a completely clean slate once more.

i did a bit of a refresh and did miscellaneous things to make myself feel like im starting again. things like self concept work, changing the theme of my phone, taking an everything shower + bubble bath, having a pinterest makeover and getting a trim on my hair.

i forced myself to drink more water, and go for long walks not only to get some sunlight but to get my heart pumping and push myself out of the depressive rot that i had been in for months internally, but had pushed itself out as soon as summer started.

THE DEATH OF A SITUATIONSHIP ;

i got really attached to this boy 😭 but he was such a piece of work. like he did that hot and cold shit, but i rly rly liked him so i ignored the obvious red flags. but i got to a point where i just felt used and embarrassed. upon further reflection i think i didn't wanna let him go because he was so fine 💀, like 6'5 muscular kind of fine.

no matter how handsome a guy is if he has an ugly personality or if he just treats u badly then hes not fine at all...💬🎀

WHAT'D I DO ABOUT IT ;

i went no contact. thats like the easiest way to get over someone i think lol. i went no contact and i just manifested better things for myself. like being asked out by a bunch of guys and wingstop to comfort myself 🧋

also i focused on what i got out of the whole thing. i got the redirection that i wanted, PLUS i was filled with inspiration for my song writing.

SONG RECOMMENDATIONS ;

i want war (BUT I NEED PEACE) - kali uchis

eternal sunshine - jhene aiko

let you go - clara la san

needy - ariana grande

AT THE END OF THE DAY ;

i wanted to include this section as a reminder that everyone goes through shit. things happen. its okay to be affected by it and its okay to be sad. the most important thing is to not dwell on it too long. remember that you are not a victim and remember how amazing you are BECAUSE YOU ARE. you are amazing and no matter what happens, regardless of anything your gonna be okay and your gonna be in a much better place, it starts with putting one foot in front of the other...💬🎀 (love honey)

Republicans: Millionaires Working For Billionaires to Take Away Healthcare and Homes for everyone else.

Senate Republicans just voted to let an AI algorithm with a financial stake in saying “no” decide whether your mother gets her knee fixed. On Thursday, a Democratic resolution to kill the Trump administration’s WISeR program went down 46-50, every no vote a Republican.

WISeR — “Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction” — a name a Bond villain would reject as too on-the-nose — went live January 1st and imports the single most hated feature of the Medicare “Advantage” scam, prior authorization, into traditional Medicare, with AI making the call on things like knee arthroscopy and nerve stimulator implants. As the Medicare Rights Center notes, the private contractors running the algorithm share in the savings generated by the care they deny. They get paid to say no.

Sen. Cantwell’s office found Washington seniors waiting two to four times longer for doctor-ordered care since the program started there, from about two weeks to as long as eight. The GAO ruled the whole thing should have come to Congress first; the administration shrugged.

Rep. Suzan DelBene, who’s been chasing this thing for a year, called it what it is: “a back door to privatizing Medicare.” Republicans have loathed Medicare since LBJ signed it in 1965, when Reagan himself cut a record warning it would end American freedom. They can’t repeal it — the voters would burn Washington down — so they’re doing it the modern way: outsource the killing to a machine, take a cut of every denial, and call it efficiency. One campaigner summed the Republican Party up as “a group of millionaires working for billionaires who will rip healthcare away.” Sixty years of trying, and they finally found a hit man who doesn’t leave fingerprints...

again~~

Another year older

still no wiser

They told me that

I'd never make it this far

Yet, here i stand waiting

to fall over

again.

If one doesn't get you

the next one will

Repeat perfomances

grow stale very quickly

So sit beside me as

my head caves in

again.

Blow out the candles

before there's a wind

So many candles

as the forest grows dim

Where will I be

at the next year's end

Another year older and none the wiser

again.

The Night Manager S2 E5

Roper: "Well I'm certainly wiser"

I get the impression that Roper actually experienced some personal growth during his time in his “hell hole”. At least in regards to hate, revenge and forgiveness.

So rewatching the Pacific (because it will be gone soon, thank you Netflix) and the opening establishing the three main characters-

damn

it's so good. There's such an atmosphere of foreboding that I don't see very often in war shows. Band of Brothers really doesn't have this until you get to them being in the plane for D-Day, but that also makes sense. And here's my thought on why

Every sense of foreboding, worry etc about our main trio going off to war is NOT from them. We know from memoirs that Leckie and Sledge didn't really feel such a thing in the states- many young men like them seem to have been excited, eager to fight and go on some grand adventure for glory (and for the Japanese, revenge). Because Band is from the perspective of all of the men themselves- whether officer or enlisted- it keeps away that foreboding feeling until the guys are actually in the plane and about to go into battle. Which makes sense and seems realistic, I think.

The only people who are worried are the PARENTS: Mr. Leckie, Dr. Sledge and his wife, and Mr. Basilone. They are the adults, and these are their CHILDREN that they know may not be coming back. Sledge's is probably the most overt with the heart murmur thing, but we do have some very subtle touches with Leckie and Basilone. Additionally- for sure with Sledge- many of these people are OLD ENOUGH to remember the FIRST WORLD WAR- they may have even witnessed it firsthand (depending on when the Basilones immigrated) or fought in it (like Dr. Sledge and maybe Mr. Leckie, although I'm not sure on him).

The Pacific's main theme is the brutality of war, and its effects on those who fight in it. Having this overall sense of foreboding makes the audience feel nervous- plus, gives foreshadowing to what the reality is going to be, and comes full circle to the end.

This end of course, has Sledge with PTSD, Leckie changed (probably with PTSD too I'm sure), and Basilone gone, leaving the lives of his family/wife changed forever.

anyway- discussion welcome in the comments!

Rain touching our hand becomes a little bit salty! Man touching wisdom becomes a little bit wiser! More touches take more from the touched!
