Quarantine Takeaway No. 1

 If you’re not going to hurt anyone or breaking the rules that would harm anybody else, the quarantine experience should remind you to seize the moment!

There are no such things as perfect timings, it’s all about taking that moment and making it perfect.

How do you make an image carousel/photoset post? The scrolly ones? Heeeelp! :(

Vue/React + Tumblr?

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience with using Vue/React (prefer Vue) to build an app for their Tumblr blog? I know you can use the Tumblr API, however this breaks for people logged into Tumblr. You can’t use the “Ask Me Anything” or “Submit a Post” feature, and user auth would be external to Tumblr. I don’t particularly like Tumblr’s theme designer and being stuck with plain JS. Are there alternatives? Thanks!

The Spill: Mixed Signals

One of the things I learned in long distance relationship is that they go all out; all or nothing. People who are truly in love will defy the odds.

So, give yourself a favor and treat mixed signals as a no. Someone who wants to love you and be committed with you will never let you second guess their feelings for you. They will never let you question where you stand in their life. They will be there, no matter what. They will make time.

Run away from people that doesn’t give importance to the love, time and effort that you can give. You deserve a lot more.

Take it from me, because a man that truly cares, will never make you feel like you are alone.

This is my Jakey every time we meet... 

One day, this is going to be my every day and not just a once in year kind of day...

I mean, let’s just face it. No matter how many times I take you to the airport and wait with you for your upcoming flight, the sadness and ache will never be diminished; the emptiness that follows will always be present. 

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”

— Sylvia Plath

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

“Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”

The Spill: Being Clingy

You can be in a long distance relationsip and still be clingy. It's really absurd to hear people saying that just because you are in a long distance relationship then you don't need the touch, the attention and his time that much.

That's just awful wrong! I demand attention, that's why our date days exist. I demand his time, that's why I wake him up at the middle of the night to just talk to him. I demand him physically, that's why I ask for selfies and nudes.

Just because we are in a very unconventional type of way of relationship, it doesn't mean we do not enjoy or crave the certain things that the norms do. We just found a creative and different way to sustain our needs. We just learmed how to be contented with our significant others' can provide.

Or else...

We are going to explode.

It's crazy to think about falling so madly in love at the person you haven't met. But, here we are, defying it all.

Some people claim that life starts after coffee. I mean, as much as I love caffeine in the morning, I would like to respectfully disagree. To me, life starts after his cute texts has been read.
