Change - Tumblr Posts
It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

I’ve been thinking about how to contribute more to the project. Raising more awareness is the first step, but there’s only so much I can do about that. There is power in numbers, but I’d have to first get the numbers. So yeah, I was actually considering the whole “I’ll stream the playlist as many times as the number of notes this post gets” thing, but I don’t think I can practically do that (life getting in the way and all). So, I’d love if someone with better ideas can let me know how I can make this project better. I will continue to actively spread the word of this on Tumblr, and perhaps a little later on get this to Twitter and YouTube comments. And I’ve made it a point to stream the playlist at least twice a day, once using my account, and another using incognito tab. Do contact me if anyone has more ideas! I’m always up for discussions.
(And, ya know, I just might be trying to stream as many times as the number of notes, as crazy as that is. Might as well get as many views in as possible while the number of notes is low, eh? :D)
Project RM, anyone?
Err, so……I know I don’t have much presence in the fandom (understatement of the decade, that), but I’m gonna give this a try anyway. I do hope word of this can be spread by reblogs? Please, those of you who read this and wanna show support; please reblog this post instead of liking. Much thanks
Okay, to keep this short, Project RM is basically a project to increase the views of (some of) Namjoon’s MVs, namely Do You, Joke, Awake, Change and P.D.D. There is no end date for this, and there is no occasion for this either (but I was hoping the spirit of BTS Festa can set us in the mood :)). I’ve created a public playlist of the official (non-1theK) MVs, link below:

All I’m asking is just to play this playlist, one loop only, every time you see this post. It really only takes less than 20 minutes, and you can do other things while you’re listening to great music. There is no need to stream as if this was a comeback MV or such (I don’t want anyone to lose sleep or whatever over this). I just want more awareness that these MVs exist. P.D.D. especially is so underrated it doesn’t even turn up on suggestions, and it’s actually a really amazing song that I love so much.
I’m not too sure if anyone else in the fandom has already done this? So far I haven’t stumbled upon any, but if there is, I hope whatever impact I can make with this post would help their movement too.
This is really my way to show love to Namjoon; god knows that boy needs to be reminded more that he is loved by ARMYs around the world. For those of you that have read thus far, thank you. And if you do decide to give the playlist a go, my sincerest thanks once more.
TL;DR: Just read the words in bold.
some kuddlz after Change?
Hey! I'd love to chat with you, and see if I can help understand what's going on, but, you don't have asks, fan mail, or submits turned on. If you turn one on, or tell me another way we can talk, I'd love to try to help!
I never reblog anything, so, I'll take this opportunity and exception to also direct this invitation to the rest of my followers, or even people who stumble on to my blog:
I truly care about you all; I'm here to listen; if you need advice, I'll gladly give it. I'd love to give you the support and encouragement you need to get you back in the game.
I truly believe that we all are beautiful beings capable of love and greatness. Let's help each other love and respect everyone and everything at all times; let's be the change we want so badly in the world.
Open Arms Policy, right here, you guys.
Struggling
It’s hard to get you out of my head when i think of you everyday.
The look of Moon Princess Chang'e( Chinese New Year)
Over the past 20 years you’ve noticed a change in the streets of the UK, once empty streets now bustling with life and energy. You think to yourself, how could so much have changed in such a short time? You look up at the gigantic corporative buildings and notice the bulky frame of an Arabic businessman towering over the crowds. White people are worthless pawns in an Islamic game.
When I started training one of the hardest tasks was the initial Visual Assessment. It was simple, take photographs of myself front, back, left and right. Dutifully I did it early one morning, cropped my head off and sent it off.
That was 3 years ago today. Sure I see a lot of difference in my body. But it is what I feel that is more important.
I no longer hate my body. Infact I’ve come to like it. I don’t think that freedom is as tied into results as it may seem.
I always yearned to step into the weight room. The struggle isn’t only with the plates. I’ve dumped a lot of baggage and grown. I’ve developed a greater connection to my body, identity and goals. I will be forever grateful to my friend who encouraged me to hire the trainer I did.
We’ve laid a good foundation and I know I am ready to pack some muscle on.
I’m on a quest to surprise myself. Just a few weeks ago I didn’t think I could do a headstand, let alone without the wall. But today I did, repeatedly. Ha, without falling over, I’m not sure when it’s over.
So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.
Rainbow Rowell (via resqectable)
there was no spark to signal the fire’s inception.
an eternity of night,
and when she blinked, the sun was high.
a matter of extremes and no in between.
there was no dawn, no sunrise, no rising golden light.
instantaneous change.
there was no hiss to signal the fire’s quenching.
ephemeral daylight,
and when she blinked, the sun had gone.
a matter of extremes and no in between.
there was no dusk, no sunset, no flame-streaked skies.
instantaneous change.
and she delved back into the darkness.

a poem about growing up and august {august 31, 2022}
August has come and gone like all Augusts do and my body is coiled around years prior. I am who I was a year ago, heart drawn carelessly on my sleeve, sitting in the same backseat, younger and far less bittersweet. The sun is coming through my window the same and my brother is bopping his head to his music the same, but despite this all I wouldn't recognize myself if we met. August is a broken, small-stepped month for fools; you don't notice when it arrives and far less so when it's gone.
