The Artist's RPG / Virtual Reality

If your choice is “Ignorance is Bliss”, you can stop reading now. Wait for the aspects of this game that aren’t this mad. They will come in abundance. And you can roll on them alone. However, if your choice is “Truth is Liberation”, brace yourself because it might be too bitter even for your taste. But go on, keep reading if you wish to. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

The Artist's RPG / When Not Where

Alright, there’s no pretending that this game is antique-themed while its story takes place when it does and continues forward. Around the 2000s, art gladly celebrated what was futuristic, welcoming the new millennium. Nowadays, at least for some of us, there is more concern than glee about it.

But it isn’t new. In 1999, three mind-bending films came out that made history and became classics. One of them is no other than The Matrix, warning about what would happen to us if technology completely took over and prompting us to notice the simulation. The other two, Fight Club and The Sixth Sense, let’s just say, could also lead you to question reality. Or, in their case, “reality”.

So, as The Artist’s RPG goes into Science Fiction territory, it follows that it will get philosophical too. I wouldn’t expect any less when Art is involved and at the center of it all.

This brings the question: Where? No! WHEN are we?

The Artist's RPG / One More Set

One more set of panels and, for real, this time, finally, you all will get a break from The Artist’s RPG content, and can go on to enjoy the summer, whether by mulling over the already provided material or by not minding it at all until we resume with it again.

Not gonna lie, it does have light and heavy parts, as well as fun and not-so-fun parts. Yikes. However, at least for me, it doesn’t cease to be intriguing and fascinating to expand on and compile.

Take it in bits that suit you!

The Artist's RPG / Numbers

With how often numbers tend to be brought up, I believe we’re due for having them integrated. So I sorted out their ‘wiring’ and ended up with 27 numbers, 28 counting 0. Many of the colors surprised me with where they turned out. And ultimately, seems like this is how they go.

We can see them as Stages, Associations, and Attributions. Stages referring to categories within development, Associations referring to particular meanings each number could have (4 examples for now), and Attributions referring to numbers that are ‘attributed’ to a person, life, or situation. E.g., I’ve always considered 8 my lucky number, not only because it is my day of birth, but because there’s plenty I like about it, while 16 had been coming up for me a disproportionate amount of times (school listings), and 27, well, let’s just say sh*t went down horribly when I was that age. And now I get to see their colors, at least within the universe of The Artist’s RPG. It would be as though numbers can tell you more about what is going on, as “the language of the universe”.

And speaking of language, guess what also fits with this amount of numbers. The Alphabet! Wanna color letters for the heck of it or maybe even have encoded messages within your artwork? You can. We can. I can. Already looking forward to trying this out.

Lastly, I couldn’t go without wondering about a few aspects of this game and had to check how numbers fit with them. Quite suitably, Sunday, as Sun’s day, is Yellow. Yet, not only that, it is closely accompanied by its complementary color, Purple. That’s awesome. Also, I was bummed that the color of Infinity was 9 instead of 8, until I realized that it fits better as ‘an alteration of 8’ rather than 8 itself, and that the color that goes with 8 also already has a Catalyst symbol that looks like 8. I am more than pleased with these coincidences.

Beware, though, once you start seeing numbers everywhere, you can start going mad. But I didn’t want to deprive you of this feature. Proceed at your own risk and with caution!

Mercury Overview

In the case of Mercury, it primarily affects your mental side and communication. Mercury, just as it moves swiftly around the Sun with the fastest orbit, represents thought, language, and the exchange of information. Essentially, Mercury stands for the intellect and processes of perception and translation. And it is in and through it that clarity, reasoning, and articulation develop.

When it comes to Mercury, the signs Gemini and Virgo share certain similarities and are said to be ruled by it.

What are Planetary Placements?

For context and more of relevance, please read about The Zodiac.

The Artist's RPG / The [Purple] Plane?

I already started adding components to other planes, by the way. Even if I don't formally post it, there's a chance more has been, is being, or will be added. Again, these are drafts, a.k.a. works in progress. Anything from minor to major changes may be done before it's called official. (I should add a mark to the more unfinished/flexible to avoid confusion. Sorry about that!)

Here, so far, I don't even have the name of the plane yet. I just know it's the purple one. And the first two components might not even go there, but it's the two I currently have. They stand for the butterfly effect and for illusions. Way more to come for sure!

(Adding a Bunny soon, too, because of 'easter eggs hunting' and "following the white rabbit".)

Waiting on Slow Nights

I was hoping (counting on) June would have some slow summer nights, to be able to immerse myself in film. But it’s not giving ‘Restoration after unmeasurable loss and grief’. It’s giving ‘Bible study camp ‘cause wth was that?? And wtf is this?!’ Or something like it. It is not the quiet after the storm, it is the freakin' storm. In my case, personally, not only am I still requiring some major adjustments mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, but also within the physical. So as much as I may wish for it, I’m not yet in a state where I can indulge in movie magic as it is merited. Therefore, that will have to be on another date. At least for me. Please remember, however, that just because I put something off doesn’t mean I don’t value it and, quite often, it is instead the contrary - I value it so much that I prefer to give it the time, energy, and attention it deserves, not merely get it done and over with.

When am I doing more Media Appreciation, then? Ideally, not too far in the future. I’ll keep you posted!

The Artist's RPG / Suggestions

Y’all, I might not get a single day without any more The Artist’s RPG madness. Tune OUT while you can if you wish to! You can come back to it later, when all is more in place and ready to go. And you can then see if this game is for you or not. At the moment, though, I’m still busy sorting a lot of it out.

Apparently, I ought to introduce these too, sooner rather than later, to the gameplay. I quickly grabbed some old paper textures to make them look like scrolls. However, it turns out that this entire aspect of the game is also very beige-coded. (So the final design should indeed be mainly beige.)

They are like ‘Suggestions’. Or you can take them as such. Free will, and all that. But they’ll pop up every now and then, during the journey, with hints as to how to approach a situation. If you’re lost or stuck, maybe just indecisive, or indifferent about how to proceed, they can be particularly helpful.

The Beige Essence, nevertheless, is way more complex and sophisticated than one would initially realize. It does invite you to meditate, to track your steps, and to pace yourself. To not miss out on what rushing would have you missing out on. So these “scrolls” (gotta think of a suitable name still) are not meant to merely be shortcuts to get you to where you’re going quicker and without a pause. They are meant to bring more of the path(s) into awareness. Then you do with that what you must.

A few examples of how they might show up with the components. I figure they will mostly come with these quantities (1,3,5), but not necessarily. These are simply samples, for now, of what's yet to come with this feature. Stay tuned for more! (Or not. Preserve your sanity at all costs. I be puzzling like it's my first nature because it is, but you don't have to. 👌✌👍)

The Artist's RPG / Teams

There is plenty to introduce in The Artist’s RPG, and I will in due time. Yet, something I want to bring up sooner rather than later is Teams. Because we can love and/or hate characters all we want, perhaps not even believe in them, let alone follow them, but at the end of the day, what do you really stand for, regardless?

There isn’t one huge “everyone is worthy, let’s all just get along” assembly that brings the ultimate WORLD PEACE. At least not at this point. However, there are 3 clearly defined teams that gather more people together. Instead of countless ones with never-ending infighting.

And a character just is or isn’t part of a team. You can choose which one and decidedly align with it. But if you think you’re out of all of them, think again. You may be, in your actions or lack thereof, furthering one team more than another. On that note, it is also possible (quite likely, actually) that, even as a member of a team, you have little to no clue what you’re headed for. Self-deceit and delusion in order to believe that your team is The Best Team by this or that measure is also a common phenomenon.

Another interesting aspect of it is that, while Team ENTROPY and Team A.R.T. are in undeniable opposition, Team AOTWS switches up between them depending on who seems to be winning. And like it or not, they play a part in deciding victory.

I’m Team A.R.T., of course. I tried being Team AOTWS. Most miserable years of my life. Please stop suggesting I go back to it!

Spot The References

It is absolutely delightful when pals and more are able to spot references in works and realize that there's more than meets the eye. But some of us, freaks, are over here, going out of our minds, yet trying to keep it cool, because... No. Actually. It didn't make 3 references, Katie. It is making 10 to 20+. AND ON TOP OF THAT, you gotta consider the socio-political, cultural, and historic context that all led up to it. And AHHH! I'm fine. This is fine. We're fine.

Just breathe and calm down. You can list it all out later.

TikTok Stories?

I NEED TO BE MESSY. BUT I DON'T WANT MESSES.

Time to give TikTok stories a try? I'll post some there and see if it flies with me.

Don't Mind Me and My Depleted Social Bar

My current state is that I had to shut off being a 'Host' and instead am being a Cook with some overhearable chitchatter in the back kitchen. But people are still welcome to dine here. ✌

Happy Labor

This year is not so ideal yet, as I rush and scramble to have all that counts in order to call this out of the 'Loading' phase, but I dream of having more days off next year. And be able to do my work steadily and comfortably. That's paradise for me.

A Crowned G?

November 10th, 2020. Remember the time I made a fuss about this bed cover? Back then, I only noticed the obvious. But I seem to be developing a better eye for detail now. There's a G with a Crown, there's O O O, I also see 2D, and more. Anyway, this is still my fav bed cover because it was such an unexpected and serendipitous find that felt custom-made for me. Some things are just timeless, if you know what I mean. And this is only one instance, out of many, of me being 'in love' with the wonder around me. My best advice right now: TAKE PICTURES. You will thank yourself later. I'm still aiming to organize my past better, so please be patient with me and my sporadic (and often seemingly incoherent) posts. Once I can get going again, I'll be putting everything in place. And it'll be MAGICAL!

The Artist's RPG / Character Profiles: Yoel

Alright, while introducing Profiles, might as well introduce a second character. This is, let’s call him, Yoel. I was looking for a male name that starts with ‘Y’ and was quickly set on ‘Yoel’ when I saw it. Funnily enough, in Spanish, if you break apart the syllables as Yo-El, it is basically saying Me-Him. And that’s quite fitting, in my opinion. So I’m keeping it.

As with Gary's, and any profile that’s yet to come, the details may be off. But I tried my best to stick with what I witnessed and/or intuited as I watched him take shape. That’s one dangerous configuration he has there, indeed. Especially if/when the masses are sheeple. Truth be told, though, he can entice practically anyone until he’s done with his act or we’re done with it.

And speaking of acts. I got one for Gary so I had to get one for Yoel, too. Same process: vague prompt, grab the first one that comes up. And this is what I got. Some parts of the lyrics snuck in and surprised me. Still, I personally find Gary’s to be more of a banger. And WTH? He sounds like the Devil, yet is calling somebody else the devil? Should I interpret that as a typical projection/false accusation, or is there some sort of inside “joke” there? Or what? Hmm.

(By the way, for both videos, I let YouTube pick the thumbnails. Just saying.)

The Artist's RPG / Library

Apparently, Gary wants you to believe in him. And I just want you to dispel as many illusions as you possibly can, wherever that leads. So, while I haven’t yet brought up the base descriptions of the essences, the least I can do is point you to how they translate within the context of learning, for knowledge and understanding. Hence, here’s the "Library" (specifically, for 'circuit-based' learning).

Ya’ll, I don’t think they got Solarpunk in the future…
Regardless, may our studying bring, if nothing else, the clarity we crave.

The Artist's RPG / Character Profiles: Gary

You requested it. I delivered it. Introducing Character Profiles. With no less than Gary. Or my current impression of him, anyway, which may or may not be off - way off. He’s giving… spirited. And also delightfully blunt. Please, keep it up, leave no room for doubt. At least among the crew.

I guessed at his top components, too. For both the conceptual and the structured planes. These are the ones I’ve witnessed and/or intuited the most with the most effect, while watching him take shape. But the order may be wrong, and maybe one or more of those aren’t at the top. Because, remember, anyone can pretty much access and activate any component. The issue is to what degree and with how much ease. And speaking of such, his overall mastery sits at ‘adequate’, or so he allows people to assume, which is level 6. My dude, looks like you need the crew as much as the crew needs you.

NOTE: I DO NOT make myself responsible for players falling in love with my OCs. 😂

I have a history of that happening when I do role-playing. So, you are warned. Don’t get too addicted ‘cause I have more things to do besides channeling Gary. (I will keep quietly figuring him out, though.)

Can “fictional characters” be real? I don’t effin’ know, man. You tell me.

Another thing! Go Team A.R.T.! Playing on the side of Brightness & Balance is playing on Hard Mode. You are not only battling against opposing teams, but you are also battling against Entropy, which is on the side of Vices instead of Virtues. So when those pricks are bragging about winning, remember that they are bragging about winning on Easy Mode.

Also, AI Generation is rapidly getting more and more astonishing. I entered a vague prompt and got this sound piece within seconds. I’m claiming it as a draft for a Character Theme Song within The Artist’s RPG universe. In this case, Gary’s introduction: I told you so. (He did, he freakin' did, several times, COUNTLESS TIMES.)

7/10+ Outfits

People who have access to seeing me in my everyday life would see me with various different outfits, ranging all the way from 0/10 to 10/10. Obviously, I'm not gonna be posting my lousiest outfits because, you know, I don't want so many more people to look at me like I'm a crazy person. But I have also failed to post outfits that are 7/10 and above. I'm just not very active and outgoing these days (recovery, etc.), but I might be posting a lot more eventually.

BBL, Putting My Feet on The Ground

Friendly reminder that balance is important. If you've been engaging in contemplation too much for too long, and it is dizzying, you may require some grounding. Whether that's theorizing, hypothesizing, deconstructing and rearranging your entire reality, or going into the abstract in general, grounding exercises can serve you. It doesn't mean you will be negating the value in contemplation. It merely means that you are choosing to, in some amount, ground yourself in something firmer or more 'concrete'. So that you can remain lucid instead of falling into lunacy. Grounding work is such an emphasized concept among spiritual folks because it is so undeniably fundamental and essential to practice as often as it is due when dealing with the spiritual.

Hero Who? To Who?

Listen. I’m not saying that Enrique Iglesias popping up while I’m out and about is an extremely rare occurrence, but I am definitely saying that I absolutely love it when he does! And in this case, it was with one of the songs I’ve always loved the most (f-boys haven’t totally ruined it for me yet, but I’m wary). We often see him for his fun and sexy works, but much of it is also unbelievably transcendental (and that’s a topic for another day). I just had to capture the moment while simultaneously showing the peculiar table I ended up with!

Too Early and Too Late? Coffee!

Y’all. I am currently very dizzy from pondering so much over the past few days, but I had to bring up this compilation before too long. This was when I went out to see Project Hail Mary. The “logical” thing would have been to post it along with it, or right after, since it happened the same day, but it seemed too much like a completely separate event to me. The mood and vibes of it weren’t saying sparkly outer space movie. They were saying K-Drama, Start-Up style.

So now that I’m “virtually” opting for a different working space (and pace), here comes this environment. By the way, how old were you when you realized that ‘Sandwich” almost spells “Sand-Witch”? ‘Cause that was quite a moment for me when it happened.

Besides dice and more to play on the board game table, there were stickers on the glass next to it and I was compelled to snap pictures of a couple of them. Whoever damaged the side of the head of that lil’ guy in one of them must be such a troll. I take no responsibility for it. It wasn’t me. I just wanted pictures and somehow that didn’t stop me from taking them. My job here is done, in bringing more of my in-person life to the site, out of the very few instances I do go out.

Speaking of Synchronicities…

I’ve been looking at my content structure and have decided that, indeed, I should be paying more attention to my Psyche section. It’s been there for so long and it’s such an integral part of this whole ordeal of being an artist. I am particularly fond of it because it allows me to freely dwell in countless possibilities without having to actively add the disclaimer that I haven’t yet gone completely mad. It is simply exploring the Psyche, a part of existence we all still have little clue about. Yet, it is oh so intriguing and fascinating! Maybe we will encounter a few undeniable and applicable truths while diving into it. But if not, we can bet there will be plenty of ideas for amazing fiction!

Writing Under The Paranormal Genre

Ya'll, I'm not done making my guidelines, but this is a place to start. If you're writing paranormal stories with Synchronicities as a theme and don't want your characters to be too batshit crazy, you can make them more nitpicky about what they will consider 'odd' enough to count as something 'supernatural'. See if the event or item meets this criterion, and even when it does, see to what extent.

You can log the occurrences by noting Prompt (what led to them), Date & Time, Place, Item #1, Item #2, Item #3, and Weaving (how they might relate to meaning in the fabric of existence). And then mark which ones are way too out of the ordinary to dismiss     , which get attention but are too easily just a coincidence (or mental gymnastics to make it seem extraordinary)     , plus more in between. Over time, you might collect enough occurrences from ~the 5D~ to reveal a picture that helps solve a mystery or simply show that something strange is going on (that or someone won the lottery in having the most unbelievable amount of mind-blowing coincidences happen around them).

Or just leave this to others! You don't oughta torment yourself like this! 😂
(There's more that goes into it that I haven't typed out.)

3-Month Summer Break

My plan for this summer will not be a 2-month break but an entire 3-month break. 

All from the beginning of June to the end of August.

I will continue doing work (and posting regularly and occasionally), but my socializing and more will continue to be kept at a minimum. I’m still in that mix of having plenty to get done while also having plenty to restore. I’ll miss out on much, indeed, but I will get to it once I’m in the clear again.

And speaking of restoration, I will be immersing in art. However, my full appreciation of it will come later. It doesn’t mean it is valued less. If anything, I’m extra grateful that it exists while I most require it. When I can barely be. So please be patient!

I’m also looking forward to meeting with M. (a.k.a. long-time geek friend and long-term project partner) and maybe regain some strength and focus to tend to another pending and due responsibility I have. There are no guarantees, though. (I don’t whine 24/7, but believe me: it is bad.)

Pals, I hope you all can enjoy the summer however it best suits you.
With or without me popping in. See you when I can! ⛅

It Is Crazy but So Is This

I love creative writing. Because while you can 'create' a whole universe and that pretty much gives you permission to do whatever you fancy and go wherever your whims take you, you can also choose to be very strict about how logically coherent and congruent it is (within itself and consistent across a multiverse). Though I appreciate imaginative works, I've always enjoyed the most when art imitates reality (so that we can learn through and from it). Therefore, for a story to appeal to me, it has to make sense at least to the degree that it MIGHT be possible somewhere and sometime. The project I'm currently on has landed me on topics of the after life (with ghosts) AND above life (with 5D beings). And of course, that can sound insane if merely blurted out with no rhyme or reason. However, I'll be happy to include theories and hypotheses on how and why this or that isn't too far-fetched. I can't claim which one explanation it is for sure. I'm just a mere mortal with limited senses, processing, and access to data. But I can present the possibilities that come to me and let the viewers/readers consider them and maybe realize and ideate more from there, matching or dismatching them. This is also forcing me to stretch my own mind and gather more information, which, as usual, I'm grateful for.

Returning to Summer

Seasons change, we're still spinning...
Did Spring surprise you? Yes or no, it’s okay. Get some you time this Summer.

"You Oughta Chill." I Certainly Do!

The struggle is real between being in the moment and getting footage. I did more of the former, but couldn’t be without at least a few captures. I got a headache around midnight, due to a combination of factors (partly my bad), and it forced me to sneak out and chill some more until it passed. I still be chillin’, tho, ‘cause this burnout is serious.

So.. There's a Spot...

Back to the 3D! We ended up at a small hotel in La Romana. And I was more than pleased with it! It exceeded my expectations (and met the 3 Bs: bueno, bonito, y barato). The vibes and mood of it were perfect for me and, given the season and more, exactly what I was yearning for (hopefully, I wasn’t alone in that).

That light-reflecting orb almost stole the entire show. I didn’t know it would be its day and night. But there it was, all along. Making it even more magical. I was able to enjoy a fantastic welcome, a pleasant atmosphere, and a room that had everything we could ask for. Add to that, the place was practically all to ourselves during this time. Yes, I indeed got away.

It was an ordeal to get there, however. The first impression, when we stopped by the residential area surrounding it, was that it was closed and abandoned. Then, we couldn’t reach it by phone. But after leaving to check other hotels, we were assured that it existed. So we went back to try again. Once finally inside, it was as if it were a whole other world.

Board Games Forever

Y’all, it continues. My BFF and I are still BFFs. And she indeed made it here! My energy has been very low and off, because of reasons, so I can’t expect to suddenly be at my 100%. But it was, for sure, significantly uplifting and fulfilling to see her again! I cherished it during and I’ll cherish it beyond.

It also made me happy that, despite how many years have gone by, and how much has changed throughout the years, playing board games when we hang out continues to be our ‘tradition’. Our thing. They are taking it to whole other levels now, though. Such an incredible collection of games! I was introduced to some I hadn’t even seen before. Shamelessly, it was a night for me to be a beginner. But I’ll gladly take my losses!

Sorry, but also... That's How It Goes...

I’m sorry, I just get absolutely FERAL when it comes to people who have, are, and continue to sacrifice without applause or compensation, not even external incentives, to do the reasonable, compassionate, and brave thing. NOTHING is above them in my book. Some people get worldly rewards for their choices, and some people get momma bear aggressively growling at anyone and anything that dares come close without paying the utmost respect. You know how it goes. ✌

Dense or Skeptic?

I've seen way too many movies already where there's paranormal stuff going on and the person who notices it tries to tell others about it by being blunt and unreserved. I'd much rather be blunt and unreserved, but this is where I'd make an exception to my rule. They just look mad. Which is not only embarrassing but also causes them to lose credibility and, with it, the ability to actually communicate important or even urgent truths. So, no, you won't catch me claiming that there are aliens messing around within our "reality", but you'll catch me docum- *ahem* making art.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NERDS who still go into these topics like whatever, though.
Please keep it up!

The Loading Phase

Y’all, I’ve been pondering it and… I really ought to change my plans for this year.

I will be further leaning into what I’ve called ‘The Loading Phase’.

Initially, the plan was to keep making Sunday Morning articles so that I could finish covering all the basics of what it implies and entails to Unbridle & Sustain Artistic Abilities, to have a reliable archive readily accessible to everyone, new here or not, before acknowledging TintySun as ‘established’ and moving on to more specific and/or advanced topics, in no particular order. However, I’ve decided I’ll stop releasing Sunday Morning articles this year and instead resume that when the next cycle begins. I will continue posting The Artist’s RPG content in the afternoon, though.

I cannot go on not even following my own damn advice. Therefore, I’ll do what I believe is best for me and my art. And in this case, that means cutting down on ‘obligations’ and making room to more thoroughly tend to what I must (body, mind, heart, and soul included). I’m not betting on ever being as chirpy as I once was, but I can definitely return to loving my work. And that’s the aim. 

For me:

More love = higher quality & quantity 

(And just not dreading and despising this!)

I will keep being active in other ways, albeit sporadically rather than regularly. Yet, mostly ‘keep my head down’, focusing on UI/UX fixes, improvements, and enhancements, as well as making some more content that is missing and that I’d rather not do without, for various sections.

I am genuinely still looking forward to everything ahead of us. The issue is simply that I am not currently in optimal shape for it. Neither are the sites. Hence, ‘The Loading Phase’ shall fully take over.

I’ll see you around and on the other side. ✌

The Artist's RPG / Components' Planes

I wasn't lying when I said that this would be my life's work. And that there's A LOT more to come. So if you haven't gotten sick and tired yet of me nerding out on The Artist's RPG, get ready to look ahead for more.

Undeniably, it's been beyond EPIC to explore the conceptual plane, which turned out to be predominantly blue. And it'll always stand out as being the plane of the "team". If you know what I mean. Therefore, even after moving on from it (on matters of design), it'll always be somewhat at the forefront.

It's been on my mind for quite a while to also have a 'Structured' plane in contrast to the 'Conceptual' plane. And then it became evident that the 'Morphing' plane was too relevant to ignore. A formative plane, as well, because of reasons. However, as I was figuring out their colors, I realized the pattern implied that there had to be 2 more planes - and I agree. Yet, those last two... are not so easy to get to.

My plan is basically to work on the first 4, these 4 years. I can go about them from what I've already gotten to know and what I can get to know within that time frame. But for the last 2, I might give 5 years each, before I start to put them together on paper. They'll require a lot more venturing and diving to complete. (Then again, as always, if at any point I find that something is missing in any of them, I will add it no matter when.)

In short, if I live long enough for it, here's how they're arriving in their more elaborate form:

• Conceptual Plane (Blue): 2026

• Structured Plane (Orange): 2027
• Morphing Plane (Red): 2028

• Formative Plane (Green): 2029

• ? (Yellow): 2030-2034
• ? (Purple): 2035-2039

I'll be taking notes throughout it all and occasionally blurting out what I've noticed, as I've been. We keep figuring things out as we go. But those are the dates I have so far for the sets of posts. More aspects of the game will be built in between, nevertheless!

Just something to look forward to if you can't get enough of this madness. 🤓🎨

In any case, I'm easing down into less hecticness so that there can be more learning and making and less scrambling around. Don't expect me to be very social, but you can expect me to be committed to working on this long-term. 🙌

Thought you'd seen the last of it? Think again!

Stay alive, don't miss out on this odyssey!  🌠

Revenge... Best Served?

I can't believe I got my revenge on my bullies from around 10 years ago, years ago, and am only now realizing I did. And it's waaaaaaaaaaaay better than anything I craved or yearned for at the time, anything I could even imagine as possible. Are you kidding me?! IYKYK.

Summer Is Ahead

In my hippie era, I guess?

August 6th, 2015. One of a few sets of selfies. I've said it before, I'll say it again. TAKE THE FREAKIN' SELFIE. Or photo or whatever. Even if you think it looks bad. You'll eventually be looking back and wishing you had captured more. It gets so damn nostalgic with time and more. I no longer live there and then, and even though I appreciated it before, I now have a newfound appreciation for the vibes of that place and period.

(I was indeed very skinny that year, though. 💀)

Moon Overview

In the case of the Moon, it primarily affects your emotional side and subconscious self. The Moon, just as it reflects sunlight and influences the tides, represents emotional rhythms, intuition, and inner responsiveness. Essentially, the Moon stands for the safety and protection of being at home. And it is in and through it that empathy, nurturing, and inner security develop.

When it comes to the Moon, the sign Cancer shares certain similarities and is said to be ruled by it.
