What D'Ya Talk?

What topics do you like to discuss? For starters, I had to skip all the prompts about risks. I don’t recall taking any, aside from moving out… So maybe I should talk about that… But it was repetitive. Anyways, I’m really open to talking about anything. For a long time (due to an ex of mine) I was SO burned out on talking about video games. Since many years have passed since, I can tolerate it,…

Regret...

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? Hmm. It wasn’t that I didn’t take action, I just took the wrong action. When I left Amazon (I was working as a Process Assistant), it was rather sudden. There was one person who was my best friend, I’d go far enough to say we were soul mates of some sort. I’m sure you’ve had a friendship like that,…

The Nerve...

What makes you nervous? Literally everything? That’s anxiety, I think that’s different from being nervous. But, the typical things like meeting someone new, a job interview, going somewhere new… Nerves aren’t always a bad thing, I think. It’s really cool that our body knows when to be on guard, even if it’s not a life or death situation. I remember when I had my first speaking test in my…

A Hard Day's... Work

How do you unwind after a demanding day? Just doesn’t have the same ring that Hard Day’s Night does. Funny that this prompt appears when I realize I have reached the ultimate burnout stage (not something to aim for), and I’m thinking some of my habits need some updates or removal. My usual is to go straight to the shower or bath and get cleaned up. Physically cleaning the day off helps a lot.…

The Top of My Mind

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. The weather today was a mix of lovely and a bit miserable. Maybe it was the migraine that ruined it, but even with the clouds it seemed too bright. And the wind added more pressure to my already aching head. I’d had some drinks last night, but felt great when I woke up and got to work. I do think work is wearing me down, but I’m not going…

A Kind Word

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. This happened just yesterday at the gym. His name is John, and he had left his keys on the exercise mat next to mine. He was away for a bit, and I decided to hold on to them. He did come back looking for them, and he was grateful. He asked me who I was and we exchanged names. We talked about driving as an occupation…

Ravens, Fairies and Nephilim

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why? If you ask me in a month, I may have a different answer. But this time around, I’d love to be Bran Ap Brychan from King Raven. Why? I would have the chance to live as a man (which I’ve always wanted, to at least be able to shift fluidly between male/female), I would be a warrior and a king, working to balance out the wrongs…

Change, Change, Change

Describe one positive change you have made in your life. I’ll start by thanking all of you for sticking around in these dead zones between posting. A lot has been happening, so I’ve lost track of when I last posted. In any case, one positive change I’ve made is being willing to have an open mind. I’ve always considered myself to have one, but looking back before I was 18, I shared a lot of the…

Goals

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? It isn’t every day that someone asks me for something. But lately I’ve had to say no if it deals with finances. For reasons. I’m not a bank, and I have trauma related to money. And I was blocked (at least, this is how I see it) for not being willing to help a stranger. Some Army dude messaged me and we chatted, and then…

Favorite Weather

What is your favorite type of weather? It is a mix between stormy in the summer, and beautiful sunny in the autumn. I’ve always been an autumn type gal, but I’ve come to love summer and the storms it can bring. I think it’s because both of them bring about change in an otherwise calm situation, and while I personally hate changing, subconsciously I am always changing, and I feel that the…

Do More, Be More?

Daily writing promptWhat do you wish you could do more every day?View all responses I’d love to find more to do in general. I’m trying to stay off social media, and it’s made me realize just how much I once used it. My mental health has been up and down with the death of my grandma and just stress in general, and screentime doesn’t help. Though I’ve been playing Smite quite a bit. Now that the…

Tats and Tats

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? I’ve got three; An eel, and the Wonder Woman logo on each wrist. I have so many ideas for others. A couple of oak leaves with an acorn, a shield, some Ogham letters, a sword… My left arm for the sword or shield (maybe both), the oak leaves/acorns on a blank spot on the left arm, probably the upper part, and Ogham on my hand. That’s just the…

Destiny

Daily writing promptDo you believe in fate/destiny?View all responses Indeed I do. We all have some control over our destinies, I cannot say we’re all destined for greatness or have full control, because sometimes shitty things just happen that we can’t control. I hate the phrase ‘All things happen for a reason”, it just isn’t true. What is true, is that we can control how to move forward with…

Compliments

What was the best compliment you’ve received? It wasn’t a direct compliment, but I remember for a time in high school there was a girl in theatre who said she looked up to me. I don’t know where she is now, but I know that due to politics in theatre I lost interest, and probably lost her admiration. That’s okay, I hope she’s doing well. But I feel I am the last person anyone should look up…

Confidence

Who is the most confident person you know? I would love to say my dad, and even though he often doubts himself, he gives off the impression that he is the best thing since sliced bread. He’s really a big softie, but I’m not supposed to ruin his reputation. Hehe. But my dad always jokes around and says “You called?” If anyone says ‘oh my god.’ He also likes to say that he is better than…

Ways I Cope

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? Usually if I start thinking negatively, I physically feel like a hand is reaching inside my mind to push those thoughts away. Whether to repress them or just address them at a later date, I don’t know. I also use sleep and alcohol, if I’m feeling especially bad. Don’t worry, I am able to control myself, I usually have one drink (wine)…

Stealing/Gaining Time

What activities do you lose yourself in? Reading is a big one, as I’m basically transported to another time and place, another world. I feel jet lag (or some sort of hangover) when I finally put a book down. For instance, I was just reading a section of the Book of the Taking of Ireland, and while it was kind of difficult to fully comprehend, I got lost in it. I’m not done with that part, but…
