You are very giving, kura. It's ok to tell others that you're currently taking a break. They will understand. And, if you do take a break from helping others, you will have more energy to put into helping them, once you've rejuvenated. : )

The planet's getting nuked in a few more days, so I guess they're trying to sell their more perishable items as fast as possible.

Is this the 13th thing again? Why does everyone believe this so faithfully, when there are unfulfilled doomsday predictions almost every day, and the person that made this up apparently describes themselves as a "mystic prophet"?
I don't see this as very credible, and yet, everyone seems to believe it.
Plus - if we were all really getting nuked, why would they care if they have leftover perishables? They'd all be dead.
As for me, I wish I would stop fighting myself with my sleep issues. I get tired enough that sleeping is sensible, and yet I still fight it, even though some parts of my brain want to sleep and want to rewire my sleeping disorder. But at the same time I avoid going to sleep. It's not rational.

The end does not mean a literal end. It means a shift, in consciousness or dimensionally.

think its interesting that the story of wing chun’s creation varies between a shaolin nun devising the form from watching an encounter between a crane and snake, and alternate, a crane and fox. prefer the fox, but the snake seems more plausible.

maybe one’s choice for reference depends upon ideals. in practice, one solely focused on the offensive could easily see the form as both that of the stature, litheness, and piercing power of crane and snake, but one the defensive, inspired by both crane and fleet resourceful fox. it only seems more plausible the crane and snake, because both are classic shaolin creatures, where as the fox would seem relatively unorthodox for accreditation... then again, there’s no reason a fox and crane could not have met, inspiration sparked, and such accredited as a truth told.

^Or it could be both offensive and defensive, since wing chun is primarily both [attacking and defending simultaneously].

^that’s what was intended in citing the fox along with the crane... the fox would have it’s four limbs and mouth to improvise holding ground, attacking, and defending to make it’s escape from what it couldn’t evade. if a crane and fox were to meet, it’s hard to imagine the small game hunter would choose a bout with such a large and fierce opponent. if one imagines them both taking an offensive posture, it wouldn’t likely look like wing chun as a snake and crane could, but as a defensive stature in play of the fox with offense of crane, it could. there certainly aren’t many offensive pounce maneuvers in wing chun... rather looks a bit of all three, but the stories don’t incorporate use of all three.

This is weird.

I should be at least a bit frustrated one time throughout the whole day, but I'm not.

Not one single sigh. Not one single shrug. Not one single annoyed thought or anything.. 8O I should be at least irritated at one point, but I'm not.

I just.. Take. :| And give at the same time.


What did I do?! :lol:

I give too much. It's a bit difficult.

It's been almost 10 hours since this 'feeling'. Not even a stomach ache with a sneezing fit ruined it.

... It always lasts for days. I'm not sure if I wanna let this go or not. :lol: Tis fine either way, and I'll look forward to it whenever it'll comes.

How to get just the right descriptions of love...it's tricky. But then, is it okay, devotion to only one person? :o

Rune Factory 4 is such a fun game. I'd probably give it a 11/10. :lol:

Okay in what sense, devotion in what sense?
Love is a personal thing that's somehow between two people.
I think when it comes to personal things, 'okay' is not even a question.

His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

Through all he said, even through his appalling sentimentality, I was reminded of something-an elusive rhythm, a fragment of lost words, that I had heard somewhere a long time ago. For a moment a phrase tried to take shape in my mouth and my lips parted like a dumb man's, as though there was more struggling upon them than a wisp of startled air. But they made no sound, and what I had almost remembered was uncommunicable forever.


I like this take, personally.
It's not inherently positive; there's a fear and danger in there, in the act of falling in love.
More than devotion. His view of the world is permanently changed by her constant presence in his thoughts.

I would write what you know. Your own understanding, including the dilemmas you face.
