To anyone who might need to hear this right now:

Remember that even if only ONE person enjoys the content that you create—YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL.

Don't get lost in the numbers. Just create what makes you happy. Someone out there is going to LOVE what you make!

And a little is a lot if it's enough.

Well said. I've been running my blog for over ten years and I don't have thousands of readers. But, I do have a few friends and a small group who enjoy my work so quality over quantity. 😃

I can never forgive her after she wrote that horrible article telling people who they shouldn't romance in Mass Effect.

YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN...

MAKING EVERYONE ELSE НАРРУ

TICKING EVERYTHING OFF YOUR TO DO
LIST

YOUR SOCIAL

WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS OF YOU

THE NUMBER YOU SEE ON THE SCALE

THINKING ABOUT OTHERS

Also why I never got into sports. It was making me so angry and overstimulated in my town when I went downtown to meet friends and people were honking and hollering over World Cup. I was approaching sensory overload from the noise.

I am so glad I don't live in Toronto. Apparently people were screaming in the streets regarding the recent news about the Jays. Talk about disrupting peace and quiet eh?

I decided to try something different when it comes to gaming. One genre that seems to have a cult following is visual novels. Think about it as a game that is like a book but it's like one of those "choose your own adventure" that results in different outcomes in the conflict, who lives, dies, etc. That is what I found with…

That is absurd, it falsely makes them look bigger than they are.

I would love to know why these AI music has millions of listeners. Either people are ignorant or they are paid fake listeners.

A game that soothes anxiety is worthy of anyone's time. It's like it's not a game you want to play, it's a game you NEED to play.

I bet. I played the demo and was already in love. I might have to squeeze it in sooner rather than later. It seems so relatable plus I love tea. 🫖

Progress is Progress

What have you been working on? Well, I have a few reviews that I hope to publish this week. The writing portion of them is done. I just need to edit them and add some more images. Two game reviews and one book review for a book I finished, today. I have also been thinking of…

What have you been working on? Well, I have a few reviews that I hope to publish this week. The writing portion of them is done. I just need to edit them and add some more images. Two game reviews and one book review for a book I finished, today. I have also been thinking of using one of my old notebooks to help me each time I hit an obstacle with my fanfiction so I can get myself back on track.

Oh that, I feel like there could have been another way rather than having Xaden resort to that.

Last week I started watching 911 Nashville for the hell of it and Blue Bennings is cute. Maybe I'm just saying that because his hair and muscles remind me of Xaden Riorson, but his skin is not as dark. 😍

The actor Hunter McVey is cute too when his hair is the same as that.
