Okay... so it's been a while since I've updated this blog, hasn't it? Sorry about that, guys. I'm not even sure if anyone reads this, but I imagine lack of consistency is shooting me in the foot there. So, I'm going to a story. And I'm going to tell that story here because I didn't… Continue reading 239. How to… roll with the punches.
238. How to… take a leap.
Sometimes, things are just hard. This is even more true when things are new. Because then, on top of being hard, they're also a little scary. The thing is, if we let ourselves live in that mind space - if we allow ourselves to exist in that fear, then we are going to miss out… Continue reading 238. How to… take a leap.
237. How to… read between the lines.
People really can be cruel. And a little dumb sometimes. Which... isn't the best combination. And maybe that's a little mean of me to say, but hear me out: All it does is breed hurt and hate. And the unfortunate part of that is that humans are particularly good at these things, and the internet… Continue reading 237. How to… read between the lines.
236. How to… not be mean.
I know a little bit about bullies. I know, because I spent my youngest years not understanding why the other little kids wouldn't play with me, my elementary years as a target for the "mean girls" - and then again in middle school, for the meaner girls, and high school, where it was no longer… Continue reading 236. How to… not be mean.
235. How to… make footprints on the moon.
This time of year is a little hard for me. A lot hard? After losing someone very dear to me in 2022, I tried to dive into things to distract myself. Admittedly, this was pretty easy, because back then, people were constantly pulling me in about three-hundred different directions at any given time. "Nova, can… Continue reading 235. How to… make footprints on the moon.
234. How to… Come back from the dead.
I have this thing I do where sometimes, when I'm having a rough time, I like to fall off of the face of the Earth. I hide on my platform a lot and talk to about three people and that's that until I'm feeling less like a swamp witch and a little more human. And… Continue reading 234. How to… Come back from the dead.
233. How to… keep it up.
This week has been rough. I feel like I'm always saying something like that, and sometimes, I find myself wondering when it's going to just stop for a little bit. Sometimes, I bottle it all up because I get tired of having to explain myself, or worse yet, battle that internal struggle of "When is… Continue reading 233. How to… keep it up.
232. How to… reach for the stars.
The last couple days, I've had a hell of a time sleeping. The thing is, I think I think the hard part hasn't been dealing with the loss of my friend. In many ways, those of us who knew him also knew this day was coming. He was an amazing man and he'd been fighting… Continue reading 232. How to… reach for the stars.
231. How to… accept the things you cannot change.
Last week, I went to a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding in Final Fantasy XIV. Think partnering, but for Second Life. It was for a really good friend of mine that used to be something more. She's found someone amazing, and it's so nice to see her happy. And the whole experience was actually really fun.… Continue reading 231. How to… accept the things you cannot change.
230. How to… come back from the dead.
Okay, y'all, so I wasn't dead, but I've been gone for a hot minute, haven't I? The year got off to a bit of a rough start for me. Covid finally got me, and I've been exhausted dealing with that and stuff in real life, so I had to disappear for a little bit and… Continue reading 230. How to… come back from the dead.
