First evening of the Self care retreat - Introductions

Weekend of Self-care - September 30 - Introductions - It was a night of uproarious laughter (after a satisfying supper that included a mini birthday celebration for one of the participants) during the introductions session - the atmosphere was one of family and fellowship right from the start.

Will never forgive certain parts of the fandom for letting the idea of "Claude being confused over Hilda's willingness to die for him is a showing of how morally lacking he is" become an idea that's any kind of popular.

This man spent the first 15-16 years of his life having basically no friends and having everyone around him either trying to murder him outright for attributes about himself he had no control over or otherwise forced him to completely fend for himself against said attempts on his life (Parents of the Year), but he's supposed to just accept that he has someone willing to die protecting him? With that someone being a person who presented herself as someone who would never do exactly that (and who in fact genuinely believed that she would never do that)? After he'd told them to retreat if things got dicey?

His parents literally wouldn't even lift a finger to help stop people trying to murder their child - they told his ass to Get Gud or perish. But him being horrified and baffled that someone would die for him means he's a shitty person who never actually cared for anyone in Fodlan. What complete balderdash

szabad vagyok

ezt néhányszor kimondtam már, amióta se kapcsolatom (1 éve), se munkám (2 hónapja), de lazítani nem nagyon tudtam, minden pillanatban jelen van a belső nyomás, hogy állást kell keresni, mert dolgozni kell, miközben a crash óta érzem, nincs kedvem-erőm hozzá, csak magammal foglalkozni van, nem hajnalban kelni és gályázni

azzal telnek a napjaim, hogy obszerválom, ahogy nem keresek munkát

de tegnap valahogy tudatosult, hogy mennyi a segélyem, és hogy nem 2-3 hónapig, hanem egy évig jár

hát tényleg olyan bűnös dolog lenne egy kicsit elengedni ezt a belém szocializált munkakényszert, kicsit nem aggódni miatta, és valóban rendbe szedni magam?

amúgy rendesen elmerülni a szabadságban és önmagamban, türelmesen, elvárások, korlátok nélkül?

nem örökre, nyugdíjig van még 20 évem megszakadni, csak amíg újjászületik az életkedvem, amíg inspirációt találok, mit lenne jó csinálni

amíg megtalálom az új önmagam

amíg rájövök, minek élek én még mindig

(amíg beleszeretek valakibe, és kiderül, hol kéne élni)

szóval egy-két, urambocsá' néhány hónapig...?

az elköltözés ötlete ott akadt el, fogalmam sincs, hogy kell egy ilyet bármiféle kapaszkodó nélkül előadni - lakás kell és munka egy idegen helyen, lehetőleg egyszerre (eddigi térugrásaim során mindig vagy valakivel, vagy valakihez költöztem)

freiburg nem megy ki a fejemből annak ellenére, hogy sosem jártam ott

úgyhogy az lesz, hogy a tervezett munkakezdést október november elejéről kiradírozom, és helyette (köszi, facebook-hirdetés!) elmegyek egy egyhetes csendes jógaelvonulásra a fekete-erdőbe (ha van még hely, kérdést elküldtem)

random question, but since genpact has a trading card game that's all the rage, do you think teyvat would have a dungeons and dragons esque type game as well?

IM GOING OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO CELL RECEPTION FOR A WEEK!!

Gonna take some self care time.. see y'all when I get back <3

To provide some clarity/as a heads-up: I am currently entering what I have started to refer to as “crunch weekend”. To cut a long story short, I have two essays and a 15-minute presentation to start and then also finish within the next two or three days. This is a lot of work.

This means I will probably not have much time to be around very much in terms of actually posting or keeping up with the dashboard, but I will still try and catch back up with things when I take breaks - I just cannot guarantee I’ll be around as much, for the aforementioned reasons. Especially since I would also like to get some sleep this weekend.

I will continue with everything F/Ovember-related after I’ve submitted the last essay on Tuesday, and F/Ovember asks will most likely take priority over non-F/Ovember asks, so that I can get the event complete before the month is done. My dream is to have an empty inbox before the year’s end, but I have literal dozens of things in there, so.. something tells me that’s not happening considering how much thought answering asks tends to take, ahaha

There's times where I'm my own worst enemy. I'd like to say that other people are the problem but my high standards for myself are a never ending uphill battle that I put myself through although people have told me that I don't have to. It's not as simple as just throwing in the towel on myself and quitting, I very much have a hard ingrained perfectionism streak. Myself is the only person that I have zero chill with and I'd absolutely love to let down the reigns but I find I just can't. I don't think I know how.

I've always been an 'all or nothing' kind of person. I can't half ass something or slack off, I'm either pouring my heart and soul into whatever I do or I'm not participating. This causes me to burnout on occasion, and I'd say now is one of those times. I'm mentally fatigued and I can't keep denying that.

If there's anything I could tell people about myself it's the very fact that I don't like chaos in my environments and I don't like things slipping out of my control. I also very much like to go at my own pace and do things when I'm ready to do them, not before then. I think one of the biggest things that have contributed to my current burnout is just the amount of time wasted having to commute back and forth to my job. I cannot express how happy I am to be able to walk to work again. I could go on a rant about how terrible public transport is in the city I live in but I think I'll save it for another time.

When it comes to dealing with burnout sometimes I find you can kind of trudge through to the other side and then there's times where you just can't. Having to accept that maybe you've got to ease off of the gas pedal is one of the hardest things to do. I tell myself that maybe I can balance it all until I literally can't and everything spills over, all of the emotions I had bottled up come oozing out over the top and I can no longer contain them.

I'm not a person that likes reaching out for help nor do I like to admit defeat especially when I'm the cause of it but there are times where I have to accept that. A lot of people feel shame when it comes to stepping back for your mental health like you should be able to handle everything but it's okay if you can't. Being kind to yourself in the sense of retreating when needed is also a form of self care. It's typically the start of getting back on track when you do come clean and say that yeah, you're having a hard time - the first part to solving a problem is addressing the problem.

It's okay to fail, and it's definitely okay to admit you're only human and there's only so much you can do. I know I can definitely be over ambitious on occasion, I'm not always good at listening to others who might see my burnout coming before I do either. Thinking about all of this really showcases that I'm far from perfect and even I have things I still need to work on.

I'm just glad that at least now I have some time to breathe during this turbulence...

The secret to happiness is to expect little from people and a lot from yourself. Cabin retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains

the whole debate the gang has in Goes to Hell abt the noise level of modern ships is all abt audience feedback i rlly think so… cuz charlie takes a very isolated stance on it, which reflects what he said on the podcast.. etc

chrysigil is also very fascinating because this is probably… the only situation chrysi’s been in where she is not The most important person to her s/o. she probably doesn’t even realize that she’s accustomed to being the center of attention—and with gil, she tries to ignore how much that throws her off (and tbh, upsets her to some degree) by making her relationship with him some sort of game. she’s just lost the person that means the most to her in the world (and the person that literally viewed her as The Person For Him. azure would give up his soul if it meant chrysi was happy), so with gil, she’s just distracting herself. having fun. flirting with him and making him blush. it’s fine that she’s never going to have a deep relationship with him—it’s fine, really. she doesn’t mind. everything is lighthearted and fun!

but the thing is, gil starts caring for her genuinely (oz is helping because of course the only way gil realizes he cares is via oz…) and suddenly it’s really hard for chrysi to make this lighthearted. it scares her. she doesn’t want this—because above all else, she doesn’t want to lose it. if she never has it in the first place, then she can’t be anxious about gil putting oz above her or losing gil entirely. she tries to make it clear to gil that she’s not someone to worry about (acknowledging oz is always going to be gil’s priority), she’s incredibly independent (she’s not going to let gil in because she doesn’t want to deal with any additional heartache), and, most importantly, she’s already tried out “true love” and it burned her—why bother with trying to be a couple with gil officially? (he won’t ever be azure for her).

i mean, i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: how does chrysi fall in love again—try someone new—after having been with azure? the whole new dynamic is hard for her.

"Being alone is a conscious choice. This choice is an expression of my agency. It is what I choose in order to create the space I need to take care of myself. It is a decision to have space to listen to myself, to take breaks from the constant caretaking and emotional labor that I am always doing for many beings, especially right now as I write this. This aloneness is a boundary that I not only establish with the world and all beings but one that I establish with myself as well. It is the commitment to choose myself and to take care of my needs in ways no other being will ever be able to do. This is the labor of figuring out that I am not in relationship to other beings' needs or projections but in relationship to what I need. Choosing aloneness reminds me that though I belong to others, I still belong to myself, and because of this belonging to myself, I am accountable for my own healing. Choosing aloneness doesn't mean that I disconnect from the experiences of others, especially their suffering. I don't think I will ever have the capacity to forget the suffering of others. But what it does mean is that I can notice and hold space for others' suffering without trying to absorb it into my experience."

The Time For Me is Now

This trip has had me in all the feels and I have been trying to figure out why? Its not the first time I’ve gone away solo so that’s not it. Its not even the first time I’ve been to this country so that’s not it. Then I started thinking about how normally when I go away for this period of time it has some kind of volunteer aspect to it. Normally I’m volunteering in environmental or animal…
