tho its technically not finished, We'll Be Alright (Steve Henderson AU) has a very happy ending
8. Do you get hate on fics?
no, thank god
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
im gonna say no? despite writing something spicy at the beginning of Never Again it was not a good time (for me or Nancy)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

16. What are your writing strengths?
dialogue probably, coming up with how different characters are saying things, what theyre saying, what they mean, all the little differences in their voices, I love it. that and having characters interact with the environment
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
overthinking and underthinking, stopping myself from making something happen or a character do something because theres this pull in my chest telling me its wrong. even just standard selfishness or saying something without the express intent of making sure it wont hurt someones feelings. i also start sentences with verbs djaldjdjaf
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
makes sense if characters are speaking multiple languages i guess. depends on pov and how limited it is to the pov character. like if the pov character doesnt speak spanish it'd be better to write "and they said something in spanish they didnt understand" instead of writing the spanish out assuming the audience doesnt know it either
19. First fandom you wrote for?
stranger things
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
definitely my steve henderson au. i wish it was shared already but at the same time i've editied and changed so much im glad i havnt officially yet. its helped me work through a lot and has even caused noticable improvement in my relationship with my family even if they dont know it exists. i cant promise itll be fully posted soon, but i am so exited for when i do

❝ words: about 900.
❝ request by @phoenixhalliwell: Hey pal 👋 Thank you for being a willing participant to the Frankie teaching the reader Spanish with a reward system HC. I cant wait to see you do with it 😊💛
❝ a / n: don’t forget to comment and reblog if you liked it, i’d really appreciate it!
Every time you see Frankie talking in Spanish, his face literally brightens as his eyes shine. It isn't common for him to find people who talk in his native language, so you have just heard him speaking to Santi.
Sometimes you've seen some movies and tv shows in that language —for you, unknown, although you know some words and simple sentences.
And you know he misses it, even if he left Chile many years ago.
You have searched to take a course, but they aren't really compatible with your work, so the only option you can see viable is using one of those apps where you can spend the time you want learning and improving, with no pressure.
Duolingo. Everybody talks about it.
Of course, you haven't said anything to your boyfriend, wanting to surprise him. It probably will take you a while, but you'd do anything to see that smile he draws when he speaks in Spanish.
Bit by bit, your vocabulary is more extensive, knowing to identify every single thing around you.
Verb tenses are another story. If when you were in elementary school you thought the English verbs were the most complicated thing in the world, it was because you didn't have Spanish lessons.
As it's normal, you understand it better than you can speak it, get into the habit of watching everything in his language whenever he leaves for a mission during a couple of days. And now, all your music is in Spanish too, which is helping you with pronunciation too.
But when you feel confident enough to say something in his language, you just don't think about it, letting go of the words from your mouth.
“¿Yo puedo tener más café?”
(Can I have more coffee?)
Frankie turns at you blinking confused, believing it has been just his imagination. Sitting at the island kitchen, you have your empty cup raised in your right hand towards him, some steps away from you. Your boyfriend is staring at you in complete silence and you're starting to panic. Have you said something out of place? Has he understood your accent?
Slowly putting down your mug, you grab your phone turning around on your stool, giving him your back. Fastly, you look for the notes app on your phone to check if you have said it correctly. But, when you look up, you find him by your side and his eyes on the screen. You can't help but scream not expecting it, locking your phone before he can really read anything.
“Since when do you spe—? Are you learning español?”
“Uh…” You mumble clearing your throat. “¿Yo puedo tener más café…? ¿Por favor?”
You repeat then scratching your left eyebrow, trying to pretend that your cheeks aren't burning in shame whilst avoiding eye contact with an astounded Frankie. He doesn't reply, coming back to the corner where the coffee maker is, grabbing your mug to pour the drink inside.
“Gracias”.
(Thank you).
“You don't need to say yo at the beginning”.
“Uh?”
“It's enough sayin' puedo tener más café”. He explains offering you back the cup.
“Oh… Oh, okay. I'll write it down”.
Even so, you feel a little bummed because it hasn't had the intended effect. You have been working really hard for the last three months, but you haven't received the smile you were expecting. Puckering your lips in a slightly forced smirk, you take your phone to write his advice, not being capable of looking at Frankie coming closer to you again. He takes off the device from your fingers to leave it on the marble board, leaning forward to press his lips on yours.
This is much better. This is much better than a simple smile.
For some reason, Frankie has taken the habit to kiss you anytime you tell him something in Spanish. A word, an expression, the chorus of a song… He feels proud of you, of the small things you do to make him happy. And it's his way to demonstrate you.
Long conversations are his favorite. He's always looking for an interesting topic, letting you talk for hours and hours while he only hears you enraptured on how good your voice sounds in his language —being a little more honeyed, a little softer. Don't misunderstand him. Frankie loves every single tone of yours, but the Spanish one? That's a higher level.
And he thought that situation couldn't be perfect until he hears you speaking to Santi.
“Para ti, la cerveza más fresca”.
(For you, the coldest beer).
His eyes widen in surprise holding the drink, as you raise both eyebrows nodding with your chin. Until you realize it isn't correct at all.
“Fría. Fría, no fresca. La cerveza más fría”.
“¿Habla español?” He says turning at your boyfriend about to laugh glad of it. “¡Hablas español!”
(She speaks Spanish? You speak Spanish!)
Frankie can't help but kiss you in front of his brother shamelessly, cupping your cheeks on his palms and peppering your lips noisily.
“Espera, ¿qué es eso?” Santi asks frowning funnily.
(Wait, what is that for?)
“Me besa cada vez que digo una frase bien”.
(He kisses me any time I say something correctly).
“No Spanish in my presence”. He fastly demands, taking a sip from his beer while waving his free hand. “I feel like you're gonna have sex if we keep talkin'. And I'm too innocent for that”.

middle east anon here xD
i just wanted to say that i rly love your art AND writing!! it’s so morbid and dark..it’s just wonderful🖤 and your writings are rly good too..
btw i just saw on your blog that you speak persian and arabic and that you used to speak german
i speak both german and arabic (though my written arabic is not soo great xD) but i don’t know a single thing bout persian lol is it similar to arabic maybe?
Hello again anon, you are so kind wtf 🖤 thank you so much, honestly. I'm so flattered 🥺🥺 It makes me happy beyond words that someone has enjoyed my works 💙
I have to confess that i don't remember most of arabic that we were taught in school bc it's a hard language ;_; and also bc i was associating it with things i was struggling with heavily (aka Islam) but years later when i overcame the struggles i regret not committing to learning arabic more bc this language is really beautiful and expressive.
(i used to study german but life got too hectic and i had to drop it and now i dont remember anything)
So, abt your question, i cant exactly call our languages similar since they have very different roots, with arabic having Semitic roots and persian having Indo-European origins. The structure and grammar and most of the words used are deeply different, e.g. persian verb and word conjugation is much easier than arabic's complicated and elaborated one. (One thing most students were struggling so much in learning arabic ;_;)
HOWEVER, we do use arabic writing system and tons of arabic words have become interwoven with persian. (Altho tbh a lot of them have changed a bit in meaning and oh boy do we sure fuck up arabic pronunciations, like the different "s" letters in arabic? We don't pronounce them differently in borrowed arabic words) but nonetheless they have become a permanent part of our language, to the point that many of old poets have an entire line in arabic between persian verses.
(In ways you can liken it to how latin words are abundant in english language tho it has germanic roots and none of the verb conjugations of old latin language)
Sorry for rambling a lot. Btw i've become quite curious .. do you not live in middle east? (Since you mentioned your arabic writing isnt good?)

More fluffy angst with Billy coming here! (Maybe this could be a part 3. Wow, soon we have a whole story here 😂) She/Her Billy 7 Y/N got enough of this ghost life. She couldn't see the people she cared about get hurt any longer. And so she planned to "die" - again.
To My Dearest Love P.S. I Shouldn’t Die [Blurb]
Warning: mention of wanting to commit suicide
Part of the 🐼 Requests: Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4
7. “No please, love, don’t do that!” // You are fed up with your ghost life, and you want to end it all
~~~
“Dear Four,
I still don’t know your name, and you still don’t know mine. But at the end, this doesn’t really matter, because I love you as much knowing your name or not.
You were my anchor during the past years when I became a Ghost, a nobody, but somebody meaningful to the world, somebody who was able to save the world with her crew, somebody worthy. A somebody meaningful to you, my love. And I cherish all these moments we spent together, from the very start when you saved me, including my first “death” anniversary, to yesterday evening when you prepared me a pizza and cuddled me to sleep. You were my everything, you are my everything Four, but I just can't keep going like this.
You soothed every pain with a word, with a hug, and a kiss, but I never healed from losing my parents. You told me countless times that what I did was the right thing for me, but was it for them? I was selfish Four, and God knows that I still am. And I am a coward, fleeing from getting hurt, fleeing from any problem, unlike you, my love. You are the bravest person I know on this Earth, and I hope you'll still remain.
When you will read this letter, I’ll be damn far from you my love, but don’t worry about me: a coward stays a coward. But if you wish me luck, I’ll be able to truly accomplish what I intended to do, but now, without your help, because I know I can do this on my own. Nobody waiting for me in the river, just me, my clumsiness, and the water. Just me and my destiny.
I feel the urge to apologize to you, because I couldn’t bear anymore to see the people I love suffering because of me, I made my parents suffer, and I will make you suffer with all of this. I love you, I love you so much that this verb itself can’t express how much my heart aches when I’m writing these words to you, how much I regret that I won’t ever be able to wake up next to you after a nightmare, or hear your beautiful laugh. I’ll miss your touch, your gentle kiss, your tender love. I’ll miss you Four, I already do. I’m so sorry for letting you down, but… I just can’t do this anymore love, I just cant, I’m not strong enough no matter how many times you tell me I am, how many timesI tell myself that I am. I am not strong enough. But I love you more than I love my life.
I disappointed you all, I am a failure, One should have shot me on that day. But he didn’t. He allowed me to meet my angel, to meet you Four, and I managed to screw the things up, again. Tell them that I’m so sorry about letting you down, all of you, Ghosts: you were family to me, and what I do the best is making my family suffer. Tell them I'm sorry.
Four, I love you. I never loved so much before, I never felt loved before and I’m grateful for meeting you. Don’t cry my love, please, don’t cry, I hope I’m in a better place and so are you.
Forever yours,
Y/N”
His hands were shaking as he held the moist paper, from tears, from yours, from his. He couldn’t believe how stupid he was for not noticing what you were planing for weeksn maybe months. But he did, he did notice; he noticed how your smile softened everytime he called you love and told you that he hoped you’d grow old together as this couple in the tv show, he noticed how lovely you were with the whole crew and how caring you seemed to be. He noticed these changes, and hoped it meant that you began to heal, that you began to feel “alive” among Ghosts after all these years. But he was wrong, terribly wrong. And probably too late. Every word you underlined, every word you wrote, your last words to him, these were your last words to him and he couldn’t believe he was about to lose you, for real.
He shook his head abruptly. He had to come and tell you everything, he had to find you before you… He had to find you. So he put his jacket on, ran towards the first car the Ghosts had and began to drive, as fast as he could. Because he knew.
~~~
You looked down, pretty damn low. Pretty damn scary. This dam was higher than you expected, and than it was when Four brought you here to show you the falls they made, during a night full of stars, bringing some beers along and some snacks. You rested your head on his lap, as he stroked your hair while reminding you how lucky he felt for finding you in his afterlife. Maybe he wasn’t that lucky after all…
You swallowed hard. The Ghosts… Your parents… Four… Why anything you did lead to suffering? Why? But you had to end with this, as soon as possible. Before your thoughts could catch you again, as they did for the past two hours. Two long hours wandering on the edge of the dam. First, your parents and their watery eyes, your mother unable to cook your favorite meal without tearing up and your father crying as your favorite song came upon the radio. Then, Four. Your angel. Your savior. Your everything. You had to hurt him too, the last person who cared about you. You had to hurt him. Everything became blurry as your eyes filled with tears. Four… You hoped he would be fine, that the Ghost would take care of him, especially Seven.
You collected yourself – again. A small step, just one tiny small step and…
“Y/N,” you heard behind your back and suddenly turned around. You went paler than a ghost when you saw Four, coming out of one of the cars the crew owned, running towards you.
“Don’t,” you yelled back, making another step towards the edge as he slowed down. “You… I made my decision Four,” you said, having a limp in your throat, “you can’t change it.”
“No please, love, don’t do that!” You could feel his voice cracking, see his pained face and the tears, you never saw so many tears running down his face as now. And you couldn’t help yourself but begin to cry too. “I love you, y/n, I know this isn’t much, I know I… I’m a thief, I was a thief, a was a nobody, nobody cared about me and I have nothing to offer but… I love you,” he sobbed, between his muddled words. “I will never love anyone more than you, I can’t lose you, y/n, I can’t lose you!”
“I… I… I…,” you whispered, holding back your tears, biting your sleeve.
“I’m Billy, and I can’t lose you, I can’t lose the person who gave me faith in life, I can’t let you do that… I promise you, we will make you happy, together, I will try my best to bringhappiness into your life everyday, we will figure every thing out, together, as a team, as a couple… But for the love of God, or for any fuck’s sake, don’t leave me alone,” he begged, now crying completely as he fell on his knees.
“B-Billy,” you said weakly coming closer to him, not being able to see him suffer this much, “I love you too, I love you so much but I’m the one paining you, I’m hurting you and hurting my parents… I can’t be the…”
“You’re not,” he cut you off brutally, his eyes burning as he caught your hands in his, “you are the most wonderful person I know, y/n, nobody gave me so much love. To a thief, y/n, you gave your heart to a thief, without any fear. You could have abandoned me, or told me to fuck off but you didn’t. You saved me, so let me save you, please,” he finished, kissing your knuckles as he spoke and you could barely see his face through the tearscurtains.
“I… I’m so sorry,” you cried out, falling on your knees too, hugging him, crying, sobbing, hiccuping, trying to catch your breath. “I’m so sorry Billy, I’m so stupid I’m… I’m…”
“Love, please… Love,” he whispered into your ear, caressing the top of your head, “please, never leave me again. Please.”
“I won’t,” you promised, “I won’t.”
He kissed your forehead, holding your face under your chin, he kissed your cheeks, your eyes, your lips. He didn’t want to let you go, fearing he would lose you, forever again as he thought during the whole ride, his heart racing as his foot went down. He thought he lost you, forever. He couldn’t forgive himself for letting you go, but now, he would do anything to make you feel better, anything.
“I love you, y/n, I love you so much,” he whispered again, as if it wasn’t enough, because it never was.
“I love you too Billy, I love you,” you replied, softly sobbing as he kissed you again. “I will never stop loving you.”

Genius by numbers: why Hollywood maths movies don't add up
check it out @ https://tuthillscopes.com/genius-by-numbers-why-hollywood-maths-movies-dont-add-up/
Genius by numbers: why Hollywood maths movies don't add up
From The Beautiful Mind towards the Theory of all things anf the husband Who Understood Infinity, Hollywood loves a math wizzard. Why cant it get past the fevered prodigy scribbling equations on home windows?
In the Tina Fey sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, wealthy Manhattanite Jacqueline Vorhees wails to her assistant that they cant manage to get divorced. Despite the fact that shed get $1m for each year of her marriage.
I spend 100 grand per month. Ill be broke in ten years, she wails. No, thats wrong, counters Kimmy (Ellie Kemper), who scribbles some sums having a marker on Mrs Vorheess window. So $100,000 occasions 12 several weeks. Thats $1.2m annually. Divide that into $12m, you will find, youd be broke in ten years. However if you simply invest a lot of it, presuming a 7% rate of return, while using compound interest formula, your hard earned money would almost double.
Kimmy turns round triumphantly: Mrs Voorhees, I mathed, and you may get divorced! Mrs Vorhees eyes Kimmy narrowly. Individuals aren’t, she complains, erasable markers. What she doesnt mention is the fact that math isnt a verb. Not.
The scene is, amongst other things, Feys satire from the Hollywood cliche of genius squiggling on glass. In A Beautiful Mind (2001), for example, Russell Crowe, playing troubled maths star John Forbes Nash Jr, writes formulae on his dorm window. This scene is echoed in The Social Network (2010), where Andrew Garfield sets the equations for Facebooks business design on the Harvard window while Jesse Eisenbergs Mark Zuckerberg looks on. Within the opening scene of excellent Will Hunting (1997), janitor prodigy Matt Damon writes equations on the bathroom mirror.
youtube
So why do a lot of Hollywood maths whizzes forego paper? Stanford mathematician Keith Devlin explains. Depicting a math wizzard scribbling formulas on the piece of paper is much more accurate, however it certainly doesnt convey the look of the person amorously involved with mathematics, along with seeing someone write individuals formulas in steam on the mirror or perhaps in wax on the window, neither is it as being cinematographically dramatic.
Good point. Whenever we see a Beautiful Mind and appear with the window at our Russ, Hollywoods most built math wizzard (counterexamples on postcards, please show your workings), we pass beyond incomprehensive equations and convince ourselves were seeing Genius at the office. Even when, as some critics have complained uncharitably, Russs pi glyphs, greater-than and fewer-than symbols and the like dont seem sensible.
But theres one other way maths movies can confound the Monotony Equation, namely by departing a black hole in which the maths ought to be. The Man Who Knew Infinity, the brand new film starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons concerning the great Indian math wizzard Srinivasa Ramanujan, is intriguing in this way. Although we have seen Ramanujan doing maths, mostly the show has an interest in other activities how he falls deeply in love with his wife, the discomfort of separation as he travels from Madras to review at Cambridge, the racism he suffers in England and, most stirringly, the narrative arc from lowly clerk to globally recognised math wizzard.

That said, the film has its charming moments. When Hardy visits Ramanujan in a nursing home, he complains about the boring number of the cab that brought him there. Ramanujan begs to differ: 1,729 is the smallest that is expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. Today 1,729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number. How does that work, you may be wondering? Like this: 1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103.
Ramanujans mentor GH Hardy (Irons) is an atheist and rationalist, exasperated that this Indian prodigy cannot produce proofs for his work and, worse, is doubtful that proofs can explain the inexplicable. You wanted to know how I get my ideas, says Ramanujan. God speaks to me. But while the film may sketch two different mathematical philosophies, we leave the cinema with a warm glow that comes from anything but hard thinking.
If you want to learn some more about Ramanujans contribution to mathematics, rent High School Musical. Freeze-frame it at the moment brainy Gabriella Montez challenges her teacher. On the board are two of the equations of the inverse of the constant pi (1/) that Ramanujan offered in his first paper published in England. Shouldnt the second equation read 16 over pi? asks Gabriella. Of course it should.
Cinema often struggles with dramatising difficult ideas, particularly if they are abstract. One way of overcoming that problem is by metaphorical explanation. For instance, in Nicholas Roegs Insignificance (1985), a Marilyn Monroe-like character demonstrates relativity using toy trains and flashing lights. In The Theory of Everything, Jane Hawking uses a pea and a potato to explain the difference between quantum theory and general relativity, while her husbands friends explain Hawking Radiation with beers and crisps.
Movie explanations of difficult stuff, though, may obscure rather than enlighten. Whats more, some directors know this and have fun pointing out the shortcomings of their medium and those of their audiences. In Adam McKays The Big Short (2016), for example, Margot Robbie sits inside a tub sipping champagne and describing how sub-prime loans work. Her explanation is doubtless coherent, however when Im searching in a beautiful lady inside a bubble bath, I am not considering credit default swaps. So sue me. Later within the film, chef Anthony Bourdain chops fish in the kitchen while describing how collateralised debt obligations work. Finally, Selena Gomez plays roulette as one example of the thought of gambling on other bands gambles.
Each scene works as a parody of explanation. They are members of a movie that mocks you, you poor jerk, as well as your intellectual aspirations. You are not ever likely to know how difficult stuff works from watching movies, however much youd prefer to.
youtube
Sometimes, though, cinema can provide a genuine understanding of the intellectual process. In Agora (2009), Rachel Weisz as ancient philosopher Hypatia does a test on the shipped to test relative motion. If, she hypothesises, you drop huge sack in the mast as the ship is continuing to move forward, it’ll fall around the deck several ft behind the mast. The sack is dropped and falls much nearer to the mast than she predicted. Hypatia claps her hands in delight. However, you were wrong! states the ships captain. Yes, but it’s definitive proof! The sack behaves as though the boat were stationary.
What am i saying?
I do not know. However the identical principle could be relevant to our planet. It may be getting around the sun’s rays without us realising.
Hypatia, in other words, infers an innovative heliocentric cosmology from her falsified hypothesis. The show thus generously provides for us what we should are effectively denied in Good Will Hunting or perhaps a Beautiful Mind the news about how someone clever is considering an issue. Furthermore, its an antidote to Hollywoods vision of genius. It shows that getting stuff wrong reaches least as vital within the story of human intellectual progress to be right constantly.
Maths is frequently reduced to simply a MacGuffin. In Rushmore (1998), for example, Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is studying the newspaper while his teacher informs his class that around the blackboard may be the hardest geometry equation on the planet. What credits would anybody solving it get, asks one student. Well, thinking about Ive never witnessed anybody understand it properly, including my mentor Dr Leaky at Durch, I suppose if anybody here can solve this problem, Id ensure that none individuals have to spread out another math book again throughout your lives.
Thus enticed, Fischer folds his paper and would go to the blackboard, and squiggles his solution while nonchalantly sipping espresso. The show at this time is not to declare but Fischers genius. Will we really believe Jason Schwartzmann can compute the region of the ellipse? Sure. Whatever.
Genius squiggling can there be once more just to assist Hollywood tell the sentimental story it never tires of: namely the storyline of somebody usually borderline demented by definition insufficiently recognised sticking it towards the establishment.

Genius squiggling Rushmore
None of this should suggest we cant learn maths from movies. In Tina Feys Mean Girls (2004), for example, Lindsay Lohan plays a finalist in the Illinois high school mathletes state championship. Will her Northern Coast High team place it to individuals prep school toffs opposite? Heres the initial question: Two times the bigger of two figures is three greater than five occasions the smaller sized, and the sum of the four occasions the bigger and three occasions the smaller sized is 71. Do you know the figures? First got it yet? 14 and 5. Within the finish, Lohans team end up being the new condition champs because she wins the sudden dying tie-break. Exactly what does the scene prove? That individuals individuals who thought She no longer can do maths should certainly talk to her.
Possibly probably the most resonant maths scene in Hollywood cinema, though, comes in an exceedingly old comedy. Within the Abbott and Costello movie Within the Navy (1941), Lou is really a ships prepare. Hes baked 28 doughnuts, which he reckons is just enough to give 13 to each of his seven officers. But seven adopts 28 four occasions, objects Lous straight man. Not too, states Lou, who procedes to prove it around the blackboard inside a masterclass of cheating and illusion. The scene demonstrates an over-all truth, namely that whenever Hollywood does maths, it doesnt always accumulate.
The Man Who Knew Infinity is released on 8 April.

You think the sun is on your side no as there is no ozone and its giving us cancer be careful id say i love the sun and sunbathing not sure what my body thinks though hey
Reading exposure
I think of Chernobyl and being exposed to radiation i think of all the factories here in china and the chemicals i used to have really bad coughs and i have one now i reckon from the pollutions from chinas factories.
Young people being exposed to sexual things is wrong not being taught about this by anyone one of my daughters likes to dress to attract the wrong eye which makes me worry a little as i was hte same wanting this attention from men and young kids being sexualized is wrong from such and early age we need better teachers and we need to be better parents it’s programmed in us money and sex we need to know how to handle this how to get over both to live free.
To much sun and your burned all over it hurts you cant move or sleep been there many times i dotn burn so much now my body well skin has gone ot leather lol
I think about when ive been exposed to when i was very young like primary school a neighbour used to expose himself to me i was frighten a few times and later i saw a bloke streaking in the woods on the common as i walked home on the rd it looked like someone i new but I couldn’t be sure.
To get the exposure like movie stars needing as much exposure as possible so people see them so they get a name for themselves and get more movies
Who knows what we are all exposed to so much in our food and water its so contaminated. Thoughts of anger to the elite gov deep state comes up within me how i blame them how they need to be stop how life force say they have stopped them
Saying exposure
When theres to much light that gets in on your photo and it wipes your photo out light exposure over exposed to the light.
Being flashed at again ho wi feel vulnerable within this frighten
What has been exposed to us that the deep state elite and governments is so small you’d think nearly 20 years of the porthole we would have seen more more would have come out i cant do anything without it coming out so why the hell are they still getting away with what they do. It all needs to be exposed my is exposed so all needs to be expose so we can all see who everyone is what is being aloud to happen to us open the worms i say open them up in every one.
If you set a business up you need lost of exposure i you need all eyes on you.
Sf

Exposure ex pose sure
Exposure

Writing the word climb
Falling yes if you climb you might fall i see i have a fear of climbing because of this fear of falling i dont like heights as i think im going to fall the whole time even though id have to physically jump to do so i still fear falling and if it’s impossible for me to fall then the structure im on is going to fall whatever it is im going to fall it seems fear of being hurt comes up or a painful death when hitting the ground so lets look why because it would hurt i dont like pain why really why because it fucking hurts why i feel fear come up that i cant control the pain like it would be so bad and you cant stop it right yes but if you feel it would be over in a matter of a minute right your be died so not long fear of falling would be there then moments of pain within death yes right as long as you are stable the possibility of this ever happening would be very slim right yes it would you’d be very unlucky in this situation yes you would so your all good 99.9 % of the time right yes i am and thats good odds right yes.
Read in the word climb.
I knew someone who was climbing and fell he was barely alive when he hit the bottom and died apparently on the way to the hospital he must of been a so much pain right yes this means you have ot be sure of every move you make when taking on such a thing as climbing.
When I was a child liked climbing trees and rocks but when i feel i think on a rock this fear of falling came in as it hurt and I didn’t like it so how can i be more confident when climbing clime safely drop the fear and enjoy the moments.
Climbing the corporate ladder comes up i see this ive believed i would never be in the situation to be able to do this as ive believed so wrongly that im not good enough i just needed a different guidance i see now when younger and that we all need different things to build on and that one day the education system will do this.
Climbing plants yes i love creeper plants that climb up walls or trellis and especially flowering ones.
Saying climb out loud
You can climb a mountain you can swim a sea you can jump into a fire but you’ll never catch me lol
Trinity when before she could walk she could climb it was crazy one day she crawled over to the bank and climbed up the bars
Sf
Does this definition support me no it has plenty of fear of death falling and then the polarity of loving climbing plants then to never believing id be good enough to climb the corporate ladder.
Climb cl i am
Climb
To move up down across on something walls mountains corporate ladder
To climb out of the mind to express me
How will you live this word? I will live this word with climbing out of the mind becoming me with living words of you’ve got this you can do it with self belief
