Sorry for the late reply, Anon!
Orange: Where do you want to be right now? Hmm. I am where I want to be: home.
White: Who was your first kiss? Oh.
Purple: Who was your last kiss? You already know though, you only live once, that’s the motto… YOLO~
Tangerine: Give a description of who you like. I think it’s “of whom.” This should be fun. :3 Some quick, unique things about Jake -
- He sings off-key, yet I still find his singing ridiculously endearing.
- He prefers to pronounce “flannel” like “flan-NEL” instead of “FLAN-nel.”
- His favorite pokemon is Charizard, haha.
- He surrenders when I pout. >:D
- He wants to be a lawyer when he grows up.
- In general, he’s very different from me. (As a result, I’ve always considered us a bit of an odd couple.)
- He’s the cutest person in the whole world
in my eyes.:)
Gray: Share a relationship story. Uhh… I don’t have a good story, so here are fun facts about us and our relationship. I do enjoy gushing, so excuse me. :3
- When Jake has to say “good night” to me online, nearly daily via chat or video chat, he says, “Good night. Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite! I love you. Bye.”
- We have a cool handshake.
Be jealous. - I have one pet name that he only occasionally calls me: “Darling.” I adore it.
- Most common responses to our PDA’s, in no order - 1) ”Get a room!” 2) “You guys are so cute.”
Black: Share something you did embarrassingly. During a track meet, I tried doing 300m hurdles. I didn’t think I was physically or mentally ready, but I also didn’t want to prolong my first attempt at hurdles at a meet. (So, no regrets!)
I went over the hurdles very poorly and did not even end up finishing the race, having tripped over one of the last hurdles and mildly twisting my ankle in the process. It felt embarrassing to have failed miserably in front of many people, but oh well.
Magenta: What is something you barely tell anyone? Hmm, that’s a good one. My exact grades? If I do talk about my scores, I’m often very vague out of self-consciousness and discontent. Meanwhile, some are open and comfortable with stating their percentages whether they’re good or bad.
Brown: Would you rather have a relationship or friend with benefits? Explain. Relationship. I would rather experience emotional involvement and commitment in addition to physical intimacy, as opposed to only the latter.
Pink: What is the meaning between your url? My friend called me “petite fleur” (little/small flower in English) and I liked the name. Flowers just sound nice to be compared to, and I guess I am relatively small (a more accurate word would be short).
penguin-thehappyspoon asked: Ohoho, little ladybug. Where you going, little ladybug. Oh, little ladybug.
LOL. :3 I miss that little ladybug.
Anonymous asked: ur latest post is exactly what i am talking about. i really wish i could be like you. admirable!
oh, hehe. thanks. :D perhaps your ask subconsciously inspired me to write that, now that i’ve reread it as well as my self-talk post. XD
btw, if you seek personal acceptance and improvement, to be different than you are, believe that you can change. it’s corny of me to say, but it’s true. make plans and put them into action. do not stop at being hopeful, wishing to be like me. :P just some friendly advice~
and trust me, i’m not that great. sometimes, it feels as if i never learn; i can get very lazy, insecure, unmotivated, etc, very fast. then it takes me time to regain focus on what’s important. *shrug*
but anyway, have a good night, anon! :)
“Don’t stress yourself out” and “don’t work too hard” is what she says to me.
I smile at her care but frown at how I draw her concern, in addition to my current inability to make those things happen. I stress and stress until all the work is done, but I have yet to acquire the good habits that are necessary to do it in a healthy, reasonable manner.
I haven’t noticed myself continually taking on more than what I can handle, but maybe that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I guess I’ve always thought that it was better than doing less, that I would adapt and grow in pushing my limits. Hopefully, in the long run, it would play out in my favor more often than not.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.” - Reinhold Niebuhr

When I feel inadequate because I lack in something, such as intelligence, athleticism, or talent, I tell myself that I still possess other valuable things. Good intentions, strokes of wisdom here and there. And when I have the passion that I need to strive, I take pride in what I prove to be capable of. I may never be as well-rounded or as “perfect” as I’d wish, so I try to aim for a balance in how I should react. I should not feel so satisfied to feel apathetic toward improvement and growth, nor unsatisfied to the point where I am insecure.
