There are lots of different ones but I really like the colours on it.
I've never liked celebrating Pride Month at all. For various reasons, one of them is I don't need it. I've never felt oppressed or experienced any real prejudice. But now there's something I have to take ownership of. So this is probably the first and last time I will ever do anything for it, and it has nothing to do with sexuality or gender identity. Not really.
Even this isn't the whole truth, but it has to make do. On DA and FA, there will always be ropes tying me down. I can't always be myself here, but there's always an escape. There's always other worlds.
"Must we leave a legacy? Must we make an impact? Do we have to leave a footprint? Is it okay to just settle, seek safety, nest, y'know? Or must we constantly shake our lives up? Or suffer the indiscriminate cruelty of having it shaken against our will?
Must we try to carve a path through the tall grass, feeling as though no one has ever felt how we feel? Terrified of what may be lurking low in the grass on either side of us, but just pressing ever onwards with that paleolithic instinct deep within our chromosomes that the only way is forward. That you have to keep going. That eventually you'll stumble upon the edge of the field, hitch a ride from a passing car and meet up with the rest of the gang for tea and sandwiches at the old town hall.
Do we feel like the path that we are carving through the grass is all our own? Only to finally float above the field with the sweet relief of expiration and realise that the field is insignificantly miniscule in size. And that there's only one path through the grass. The exact same one that every human has trod before us and will ever after. Just stumbling blindly, along a tiny hyphen between the words 'Birth' and 'Death.' And when reduced to that level of crisp simplicity, fear cannot exist."
-Randy Writes a Novel
“You know, if we understand one question rightly, all questions are answered. But we don't know how to ask the right question. To ask the right question demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity. Here is a question, a fundamental question: is life a torture?
It is, as it is; and man has lived in this torture centuries upon centuries, from ancient history to the present day, in agony, in despair, in sorrow; and he doesn't find a way out of it. Therefore he invents gods, churches, all the rituals, and all that nonsense, or he escapes in different ways.
What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here, is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind, not accept things as they are, nor revolt against them. Revolt doesn't answer a thing. You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently.
That depends on you, and not on someone else, because in this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. And to understand is to transform what is.
I think that will be enough, won't it?”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti
"No! I won't stop! For every minute of the rest of my life I will fight! I will never stop trying to get away from you!"
― Rapunzel
My name is Jeida, and I am a Snow Dragon. I don't know what that means yet.
