Feeling pretty hungry right now. :3

Feeling energizef. ^~^

I used to have an old motto on my profile, "find magic in the mundane." It hints to a similar thing. Something might seem boring or commonplace... but it is actually sacred and meaningful. Even this glass of water sitting by me at my desk. Seemingly simple and meaningless. Yet a source of nourishment and a moment in time that will never be again even if tomorrow I shall have a similar moment. Every moment is sacred because no moment shall ever be again. TW: a little bit darker in spoiler: Today, I was rushing in the morning and I forgot to eat breakfast. No big deal. Water is enough to sustain me as I go throughout my day until lunch time. But as traffic started to jam and things got in the way from an othewise smooth drive, I was becoming increasingly demoralized and beginning to regret not having had any breakfast at all to build a better tolerance. After being forced to take a detour that only made my trip even longer and last for hours, I found my mood had definitely plummeted from the otherwise uplifting sensations from earlier. Usually there is construction work so traffic happens quite often. When I made it to my destination, I got the news of what had happened. I also feel like awareness has quite a bit of weight to it, as well. I suppose that can be both grounding and enlightening when balanced. I really liked your post. Thank you for the thoughtful thread.

I LOVE when that happens! Good job! What made me happy today was getting back home and noticing the beautiful landscape of nature. c:

Doing pretty great! Wanted to stop by and check in for a moment. c:

Because colors and leaves! -- wait, but mine is not fall! D:

I agree with this. With a veil of darkness cloaked all around -- it makes me feel like that spongebob meme:

Henlo poniessss! I kept getting asked where I was as of late. Well, I did say I was going on vacation. But then after the traveling around, adventures and vacations... well... I was hit with old projects that I had neglected that have brought back a bright spark of light into my heart. Back in 2024 on the day of my forumversary, I made a blog post mentioning how I needed to step down due to some life changes. I got so many messages from forum friends and people wanting me to stay, so I did. And I do not regret it because a lot of wonderful memories were made and really cool people to chill with. So, I won't be stepping down officially as I had originally announced, don't worry. I will simply be joining the other Admins on being in the background. But guys... This right here would get overwhelming lol And it was one of the reasons for why most of the Admins keep to the background - There is always so much going on. Mostly good but sometimes not so good. As a community Admin, I was happy to take the forefront but I was always trying to listen to every person's POV to make sure they felt heard and many were too shy to be in the front of the site (public) I get it. But I have reached a point in my life where I can no longer dedicate this time to trying to help so many people. Plus, I wish to pursue things that help to bring out the best in me. ^~^ I have since delegated and then watched other groups form while some users volunteered as leaders and were trying to manage so many different people and while initially I had the impulse to jump in and "fix" certain hiccups that would go awry (as things are wont to do when many diverse people are involved) -- I decided to just step back and watch others try to fill in, stumble, grow and learn and I am so proud of everyone who managed to keep going. It can be stressful and overwhelming. But you have to keep going, anyway. Mods are more properly equipped to manage it, anyway. So, I will need you guys to work together and be nice to each other. The villain phase is gone, so do not get mischievous! O! I was also asked about the book club that I so badly wanted to attend -- I will try to post on that thread sometime this week. I really have not had the time for much interactions. And when I do come here it is mainly for working on something, fixing another or adding another something to the place. So, no time for fun, anymore. D: And the forums are supposed to be for fun. I will still come by and pester from time to time. Soooo if it feels like we are moving on -- do no worry -- it does not mean goodbye. And we still think of/remember friends or people we have talked to here.

Gotta send this package out on time. D: *rushes to complete it.* Gotta send this package out on time. D: *rushes to complete it.*

Yeah. Lots going on as of late. Someone dear to me also hasn’t come around in a while, I checked up and he’s living his best life getting engaged! So that made me happy. Another just got entrance to college. And another I have not pestered in a while. So I should go do that now.

The Cheeky One has returned! well, not really. Still busy. but still!

Getting ready to meet my friend at the gym.

Whoa! Look whose hard work made it to the spot light. I got pulled in. But thank you Dyny for all that you do in Events! whoa. That is quite some talent there, Rethajni.

I got tagged on this thread. Thank you! This is such a good question! what motivates me? Literally? Friends are motivating me to keep going. What drives me? Discovering and exploring new things. Even when it’s sometimes challenging.

I’m feeling great as of late. Feeling more like myself again (Whooops this was supposed to merge but Sparklefan got me here it)

Missed you too! I’m still traveling about. So no time to read DMs. But I love dropping by to say hi. :3

And yet you’ve got the job! Let nothing discourage you. You’ve got this. :3 I faced my fear of heights today despite thinking I was beneath it and it was amazing!!! I’m thinking I should do this stuff more often :3
