New Start - Tumblr Posts
Wow, it's been a hot minute since I was last here in an interacting, not lurking way, but let's try this again!
I'm Jade, a 30-something year old mama and storyteller cleverly disguised as a grown ass woman. I have trouble with consistency and I hate being in charge, but I promise I can tell a good story.
Things have been gradually getting to be too much over the past ... 8 or 9 months or so? I have a bad habit in which I'll set reasonable goals and schedules for myself, get bored at the difficulty level, and start increasing the intensity of too many things, too quickly, without giving myself time to adjust to anything properly, and then wonder why I feel like I'm drowning. It's something I'm working on.
There's this app called Sprout? It helps. You get a cute bird friend to help encourage you to complete tasks and take care of yourself. Message me if you're on Sprout, too, and you want a friend!
So yeah, I'm a mama first, always. I started working part time at my youngest gremlin's preschool, but I'll be backing off that a little bit soon, so that should give me a consistent day to create.
My original stories that I first started telling everyone about? They've changed so much! I have a different structure, now, and so many potential new stories to write. The same premise, though - A world in which a small portion of the population has superpowers. A country in which you either register your superpowers with the government so that you can use them legally (sanctioned), or don't register them, gaining the title non-Sanctioned, and risk imprisonment or worse if you're found out. And of course, the theme to the series is action/thriller romance in which the villain (or vigilante) gets the girl, because heroes are nice and all, but at the end of the day, don't you want someone willing to burn the world down just to see you smile? I'll go on more about it in another post, don't want to make this one drag on too long.
Oh! And I started a business, bc of course I didn't have enough I was trying to do already, but it's already registered and legal and everything, even if I don't have my own website up yet. I've been learning about how to put websites together, so if you have any questions about that, feel free to drop a question to me! Once I get over the imposter syndrome, I'll be wanting to work with authors, especially romance authors, and I know Squarespace best, but I know a lot of "best practice" stuff that's helpful for any platform, too.
So yeah, if any of this peaks your interest, feel free to say hi. Like I said, I'm inconsistent and trying to work out why I'm not getting notifications that people have been messaging me? I set an alarm to help me remember to check that regularly, so communication should improve (if you have messaged me and are waiting on a response, I'm so sorry!)
And if you're a writer, too, tell me about what you're working on! I like most stuff and I'll be happy to gush about your fic with you, fan or oc!
Take care of yourself, ok?
~ Jade

Another new start :)
Well after a disappointing finish to 2013 fitnesswise, it's time to get back on the horse so to speak and take another shot at my fitness ambitions.
2013 has definitely taught me to listen to my body and not run before I can walk.
Well this week sees the start of a regular gym routine again, diet is going to be completely overhauled too. I have found the best way for me to diet is not to exclude any of my likes but to moderate their frequency.
Already looking forward to visiting the bodypower expo in Birmingham in May, so my aim is to be in reasonable shape for this, a goal I believe is pretty attainable.
One more thing I need to address is my very poor sleeping pattern, it's 1am here and I am still awake, and I have to be up at 6:30am. On that note I better hit the sack.
Night all!
Jae
Start the day 😄
Blue Ink presents...
Hello, my fellow book lovers and story fanatics!
Classes are starting again this week and with a gorgeous snow storm signaling the start of the new spring semester, I just want to bring up this really cool book that’s been lingering on my mind. As a terrified yet hopeful twenty - something - year old, I think now’s the perfect time to share all about Tillie Walden’s graphic novel, On a Sunbeam.
On a Sunbeam is an emotional space odyssey which evokes a sense of wanderlust and yearning through Walden’s artistic style of immersive, eclectic imagery and psychedelic coloring. This story features an amazingly realistic and endearing group of women who learn how to cope with the mistakes of their past, face uncontrollable challenges, and adapt to a new environment while creating loving memories together and sustaining strong connections with one another. This story delivers vast and fantastical settings that are both familiar and unique to the audiences; from the fast paced hallways of school drama to the dangerous curiosities of a forbidden territory, readers can look forward to the hypnotic experience Tillie Walden delivers when you open her graphic novel.
This graphic novel is an exciting and astounding journey of self - discovery, relationships, perseverance, and courage as these characters plunge deeper into the mysterious unknown. It’s the kind of book that could help anyone confront their own insecurities and uncertainties regarding their future, yet it also offers a cool reprieve through lavish visual details and unique storytelling.
On a Sunbeam is a graphic novel that appeals to so many readers, like fans of Young Adult, New Adult, and Sci - fi, but I think Tillie Walden’s experience and versatile story telling not only explores a number of different genres like autobiographical memoir, contemporary fiction, and science fiction, but they all profoundly resonate with universal themes that audiences can easily connect to. So check it out and I know you’ll have a wonderful time indulging in this welcomed, new adventure.
...A new start...again.
Well, so far, I've been taking a mostly serious approach to my earlier attempts at reaching out on the internet... so I'll be doing this "Tumblr" blog far more casually. Unfortunately for you (random nebulous person that likely does not exist), this means rants of randomness! Lots of little tidbits of nothing!
...I'll be trying for at least 1 post a week minimum, preferably once a day.
Wish me luck?

Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.
So I did a thing… please check it out.
FRESH ACC, NEW START
This is saverun, the one who's been posting random kpop icons and layouts. So, I just came back from a very long hiatus and decided to delete my secondary tumblr blog but it turns out that it wasn't a secondary at all. It's the main tumblr blog. I accidentally deleted the account and didn't get to save all my edits. Though, I still have some of them with me so I'm planning to repost it. Also, I changed my username. From saverun to jiminpunk. Please look forward to my future blogs!
good morning darlings!!!
new week= new starts =new YOU!
how will you redefine personal growth and success this week?

So, this is me. It is 6am and I have just gotten back from only my second gym session in recent times. I don’t look glorious, don’t have perfect lighting, I don’t have a rippling six pack or bulging muscles or ‘movie star’ good looks. I’m short, there are bags under my eyes, I have a spare tyre or two. I haven’t tried to find a flattering angle or worn something that hides those things. But for the first time in years, I am actually starting to be happy with what I see in the mirror. Sure, there are things that I want to change. I am sure that is true of anyone. For years I have suffered with depression, anxiety and a general self loathing that has made it difficult to lead the life I want to lead. In my brain, I was a terrible person who no one would want to spend time with if they got to know me. I had no personality and no positive traits that people would enjoy when they were with me. My solution to this was to never let people get close enough to hurt me. I hid myself away from events that I didn’t want to go to or that would have too many people at and made excuses for the vast majority of invites that I got to go anywhere. I kept myself to safe, familiar activities which I could predict and control. I didn’t really make new friends or begin any of the new things I really wanted to try. I managed to hide everything from those around me. At work, I put on a suit of armour that hid the real me from everyone around me. I hid behind my professional role and allowed myself to be seperate. I didn’t tell family - after all, they all had their own worries. I wouldn’t want to give them something else to be worried about. I barely had any real friends left and those I saw so infrequently that all I had to do was put on an act for a few hours. I had closed myself off to everything I really enjoyed and from people I enjoyed being around. I had created a viscious cycle of loneliness in an attempt to protect myself when the threat was always coming from within. I hated myself and as a result I couldn’t see a reason why anyone else would think any differently.
In the last couple of weeks, I have finally been able to see that the only person rejecting me was me. And so here I am. Rebooting this blog as I reboot my life. As I begin to get back in to things that I enjoy. As I begin to look after my body and try to heal my mind. I would like this to be a record for myself of that journey. A way of being accountable to myself for the steps and the progress that I make as well as encouragment for those times that are difficult. But if anyone reading this identifies, wants to encourage, finds some truths inside of it or is on the same journey, I would be happy to engage with anyone.
