? Talisman ? [Thoughts & Etc.]

I was tagged by the lovely AISHIIDA ~!!  I've probably said it a million times before (because it's true) but she is the kindest sweetest loveliest ray of sunshine and she deserves the world and so much more oUo ;;

And now, I present -

THE PETRI STARTER PACK
(in fourteen easy steps)

• Pervasive Perfectionism.  Academically speaking, at least.  Anything less than a perfect mark and I've disappointed myself.  The perfectionism applies only to myself, however; I don't think anything of others based on grades or scores.

  • Scared of School.  The people, both my peers and your teachers, my friends and those I've never met, the janitors and the principals, the halls and the rooms, the grades and the assignments - it's a tangible nightmare. ;-;

• Hide Emotions.  At a later point they'll explode, but this is why we've got corners to cry in.  I'm trying to be better about this but dAng,, it's hard aha,,

  • Fall off the Face of the Earth.  Preferably thrice or more, at different times.  Few will know where, when, or why I go, but I will always return.  This one's got a billion stories behind it; keeping it short, I disappear sometimes, but I always promise to return.

    • Self-Conscious Worrier. There is no such thing as a world without worry, but I try my hardest to find the joy in the tough times c:   

• Need Caffeine to Stay Conscious.  I don't mean one coffee a day or anything like that.  I mean that if I don't have - at a very minimum - one coffee and one Mountain Dew (or their equivalent amounts of caffeine from elsewhere) a day, I will pass out.  It has happened before and it's mildly concerning.

  • Masked Memer.  Dunno what else to say but that.

  • Adore Animals.  They're pretty amazing. 

• Shrink.  Go from a peak height of 5'3" at age 11 to 5'1" (and a half) at age 15, because that's how logic works.

  • Love Fictional Characters that Die.  Or suffer.  Or have mass quantities of misfortune.  Or are sad.  Any of the above, really.

 • Want to Draw, But Suck.  Then again, the only way to improve is to keep doing it and work on issues you have faults in, so I guess we're stuck here for awhile.

  • Strive to be a Source of Support.  I love those around me and want to see them happy, healthy, and prospering in whatever they like.  I'll do whatever I can to help them along the way!!

  • Fond of Friendship.  I love my friends above all else.  They're precious and mean more than all the worlds and stars and galaxies and universes combined <3 

  • Try to be a Good Person.  Even if you don't love myself fully and completely at all times, love others fully and completely at all times.  Cherish the friends that you make and hold them close.  Do whatever you can to help.  Smile, cry, laugh, and rant with them.  Enjoy every moment you get to spend with them, because they're precious and make your world.  Even if this step sometimes backfires, keep pushing forwards.  You'll help more people than you know, accomplish feats you never thought of as possible, and achieve more joy than you thought capable.

And that's it~!  How to be me - a starter, at least cx

I tag whoever else would like to do this; I don't want to blow up feeds? But if you see this and would like to do it please feel free to!!

Wishing you all happiness -

With love,
