or, my awkwardly silly crushes on characters who often die in the end and/or are emotionally unavailable (yes, I know they’re fictional and don’t have feelings, I know they don't exist. I'm not insane, my mother had me tested.)

  • 2026
    • John Wick (movies) - atp I think I might have a thing for morally gray yearning fictional men. Maybe? Or it may just be a thing for Keanu Reeves... I mean, who wouldn't?
  • 2025
    • Alucard (Hellsing Ultimate) - and I didn't even wait to finish the anime before admitting that his wicked smile is living rent free in my mind
    • Hwang In-ho (Squid Game) - So… this time my crush is basically just about looks. Maybe he seems cold-blooded, maybe a bit enigmatic,...

  • Discomfort is okay.
  • "Fake it till you make it"
  • "Do the scary thing first, and get scared later."
  • Be gentle, always. Every one likes to hear what's good about them.
  • Mind your own journey.
  • Always be rational: you are the master of your mind.
  • If it's something you can't control, then it's not allowed to make you feel anxious.
  • If it comes, let it. If it goes, let it.
  • Remember: we are not afraid of the thing, we are afraid of our the idea of that thing.
  • Rest is a reward.
  • The ego is the enemy.
  • Find yourself and be that.
  • Be consistent with who you are.
