I talked about love languages in my last post and how when we see them in a more mature and nuanced lens we begin to see things like how "gift giving" doesn't necessarily have to be something really shallow and transactional and how [...]

Cooking, is, of course, a craft, and a skill. When I'm really enjoying the process of cooking I get a similar enjoyment out of it as I do when I'm playing a videogame, or making music.

I mean, what is there to say??? ...is my first thought, but I figure I should write something anyways. I've had a long day.

Empathy is important, we all know that, at least on a conceptual level, probably. [...]

Time for another update...

I'm doing okay.? Feel like time is flying by since I've got all these various things that I'm dealing with, but I'm managing somehow, amidst all of it.

The real dilemma is the motion smoothed ai interpolated one vs one that has been stretched to the incorrect aspect ratio

Okay, yeah! It's been a while...let's see where things are at.

Showing up for yourself means understanding that you deserve love even when you don't think you do

Showing up for yourself means learning about what makes you undeserving of love, too

I'm doing ok, here, in this place away from home. As much as I like to always keep the same pace and do the same things, it's hard to argue that taking a little break away from myself isn't good every once in a long while.

Can people really change? I mean, of course, people do change, but I wonder sometimes if that change is slow and hard-earned, or whether change is more like something that just "happens" to you. Like how you can go to bed, but [...]

Been putting in some good work, recently. The mentor tournament has been going well so far, I'm trying my best to route these mentees through the seeds, somehow they've managed 4-1. I've learned one or two things along the way, [...]

Things have been...good! I'm starting to find my pace, I think. The new and old are starting to integrate together. It's a nice feeling.

"so much of what people assume about you comes through what becomes popular or what gets noticed."
100% and it's both completely understandable and also a skewed POV that can feel really weird!!

ddrkirbyisq.blogspot.com/2025/06/im-l...

I'm a little scared today, to be alone. But today, perhaps more than before, I'm starting to realize that it's not the "alone" part that's the bigger deal, it's the "scared" part. Or the "sad" part, or whatever it is. [...]

When I'm evaluating my overall state of being and happiness, I usually find it easiest to go with a 5-point scale...

Look at me

I will never pass for a perfect bride...

...or a perfect daughter

Life is indeed, like a balancing act. But the analogy extends to more than just the act of weighing different parts of life against each other, trying to find the right equilibrium for yourself. Sometimes, life throws unexpected things at us. [...]

This is probably not what you think it's about, but...sometimes we make mistakes, and it's like, yeah, we shouldn't be rewarding the people that make mistakes, right? We call them out for a reason?

And even as I say these things, like "you are enough" and "you are loved" it still doesn't erase the feelings of not being enough, of not being loved. Sometimes you just won't feel like it. Or, maybe, you never did in the first place.

[...]

ddrkirbyisq.blogspot.com/2025/05/you-...

You are enough, even as you look at all the things you can't do.

You are loved, even if you need to remind others to show it.

You will be cared for, even if you need to ask for it.

You don't need to change, even when you fail.

If I could give advice to my younger self, I...wouldn't. The thing that my younger self needed was...support, during the times when it was hardest. And by that I really mean compassion during the moments where they were most vulnerable and tender. [...]

Then the subsequent ~7 pieces were some combination of Is and Os that also made an all clear setup and he was so excited that he just hard dropped all of them as quickly as possible and forgot to avoid topping out, and died. I lol'ed

He got some god tier RNG and after clearing everything except one (?) cyan cell he got two I pieces in a row (SRS colors so also cyan) with the crash gems, so an all clear

Had a dream that @kitarutc.bsky.social was playing some game that used tetrominos but also crash blocks affixed to them that clear all of the same color (also some pieces randomly were death/big blocks?)

It's not so hard to let somebody in
Just think how long it's been
Since somebody made you smile

....we're back. We done good...it was a good trip.
