I Have Come Up With A Better Metaphor Than You Cant Pour From An Empty Cup For Burnout. You Cant Boil

I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

a collection of expression studies of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, who is depicted as a young-looking drow with shoulder-length wavy hair, dressed in a heavy cloak with a large fur collar.

1. Essek casting Gravity Fissure with an intense face; his arms are in front of him and the spell is manifesting as two immaterial balls of dark light in his hands, connected with a string.

2. Essek fidgeting nervously with his hands in front of his chest, doing a sort of fanning motion. he is saying "Anxiety gets to you."

3. Essek is wearing an annoyed expression, mouth flat and eyes staring into mid distance, as if trying to compose himself; next to him, a speech bubble belonging to Chetney says "I don't need an explanation, it's cool".

4. Essek is looking up with a wide-eyed expression, his hands raised in front of his chest and loosely curled. He stammers, "Hello".

5. Essek is turned to the side, his expression extremely befuddled; his arms are bent at the elbow with the palms open and up in an emphatic gesture, as if awaiting direction. there are three question marks next to his face.

6. Essek with his hands raised, the index fingers pointing up in a 'hold on' gesture. he's looking down in concentration.

7. Essek with an exasperated face on, the corners of the mouth drawn and eyelids lowered. he is saying "The blue boy is a show-off, isn't he", to which an off-screen Ashton replies "Oh yes". Essek responds "I respect that".

i know Essek had about five seconds of screen time in ep98, but i am more powerful than the fact that my favorite purple wizard is just a background npc. so i've done more Essek expression studies tip jar!

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
