Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
I am sorry that I haven's posted in a long time. I have been very busy with schoolwork, and haven't carved out the time to write blog posts.
Over six months ago, I finally got around to posting previews of my Black Widow fanfiction, titled "The Widows Caretaker". I had stated that it was four years in the making, so I had been waiting a long time to publish it. Well, four years was not enough time to perfect it, at least to my standards. So, I have edited it again, to make it make more sense. I will explain why in further posts shortly.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night.
Hello ๐
I am aya living in North Gaza with my three children, and we are facing starvation in the northern region. We have moved more than 13 times trying to find a safe place, but there is no safety anywhere.
I am asking for your help to protect my children and get us out of this imminent danger๐ฅ.
Your donations and sharing of my story will greatly contribute to our survival.๐๐

Thank you for the link. I will be sure to share it. Hopefully your family can find safety.
I hate that Michael has dealt with Angelaโs shit for so long. She is human fecal matter.
the best, most permanent way to exude quiet confidence, or any vibe, is to possess it, own it at your very core. i'm not going to lie to you, it takes work to build and maintain, however that's just all the more reason to start right away! the good news is that because there is no final stage where all your efforts suddenly bear fruit, you can already witness your life, relationships, and confidence improve with every incremental step. hope these ideas help you in your journeys, lovelies ๐
personally, i'm referring to the confidence that comes from being so secure and at home with yourself. it's not about being unshakable, but about being able to regain your balance with increasing grace over time. a person with quiet confidence doesn't feel the need to be the center of attention for everyone all the time, because they know their worth independent of anyone else.
so, how does one become this person?
everything else flows from this, so it's important to build a strong foundation. journaling and meditation can help, but a person is much more than just their thoughts and words. it is in their actions that their personalities really shine through. it's not just about what you do, it's about how you do it.
when you enjoy something, do you try to play it โcool and unaffected,โ or are you able to move past ego and share that enjoyment with others?
when you don't enjoy something but it's truly necessary, do you whine and mope, or are you able to tap into your grit and optimism?
when you are in a social gathering, are you making eye-contact, viewing each person without judgement, encouraging those who aren't talking much when a topic of their interest arises?
when there is a lull in the conversation, are you able to simply sit with it, maybe even bask in the energy of your company?
to become a person who exudes quiet confidence, you need to practice putting thoughts and words into conscious actions ๐ as the saying goes, โyou are what you do.โ
confident people don't project their insecurities onto others. it doesn't mean that they don't have insecurities or qualities they'd like to improve, but they have the self-awareness to work on themselves and work with others' strengths and weaknesses independently of their own.
๐ some signs of projecting to recognize:
emotional opinions about others
inability to give specific examples to support those opinions
quickly finding fault in others
victim mentality
๐ how to stop:
if you've gone as far as to wrong someone because of your projecting, sincerely apologize โ no excuses โ and do what you can to make things right
start checking for the above signs of projection early and often
practice empathy โ put yourself in the other person's shoes and try see things from their perspective. of course, no one expects you to be a mind-reader. this is more of an exercise in imagination to demonstrate to yourself that the first narrative that pops into your head (usually the most familiar one, a.k.a. your own) is not necessarily the truth
finally, make time daily for the little things that help or remind you to take pride in yourself โบ๏ธ you don't need to take a lot of time out of your day. the more impactful approach is small, consistent routines that can be maintained long-term. more on being consistent here!
for example:
affirmations some examples here!
personal hygiene and grooming
exercising more on that here!
developing a skill
building a portfolio
more ideas here!
it's also important to respect your own limits, whether it's time, energy, even money. don't let others shame you for not working unpaid overtime or not going out every weekend or not spending as much money. more on maintaining healthy boundaries here!
๐: have i missed anything? ๐ค what is something that gives you an instant confidence boost? ๐
I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post!
In relation to my last post about my Black Widow movie fanfic, I wanted to ask a question: What is your opinion of the upcoming ThunderBolts movie?
Personally, I am 50/50 on it. I am excited for the return of some characters, but not others.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post, and have a good day or night.

Hey there ๐๐
I hope you're doing well. Today, Iโm reaching out with a heartfelt request. My family is going through an incredibly difficult time, and I need your help to make our story heard.
๐ A simple reblog of my pinned post can spread awareness.
๐ A small $5 donation could bring hope where itโs desperately needed.
@nasr-daher
Even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change. Your support means the worldโthank you for standing with us! ๐โจ
Thank you for asking. I will promote this. I hope you and your family are able to find safety.
โBut I knew no one. I was alone. No one cared. You might as well have left me to die.โ
โYou didnโt, did you?โ
โDie? No, I didnโt. No thanks to you. Now I know I can only depend on myself.โ
โExactly.โ Natasha shrugged. โYouโre welcome.โ

Hi ๐, My name is Mohammad, and Iโm reaching out in a moment of desperate need. Iโm a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. ๐
Iโve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my familyโs safety and well-being. ๐ซถ
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. ๐
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
