Sigh. I've been mulling over this a while. Not quite sure what to do with it. Not quite sure what decisions to make. Not quite sure what directions to take. All the while, indecision makes you stuck in limbo.
That's normally how I kill things. Limbo. Death by inaction. Death by inability to start because you can see where you want it to go, and it's a lot of work and effort to get there. Achieving that takes time and patience (and skill). And that makes goals seem like they're far away. So you tuck it away in the corner of your mind and let it brew.
You also don't really let anyone else in on the plan because, well, that requires commitment and expectations and goals and results.
But, that's why I'm here in this account right? My normal self would be mired in self doubt, expectations, and detail overload and cant really do things because, well, it may just not fit in with what I should be doing.
So, let me try something new. I have goals. Those I may still hide a little up my sleeves, but I need to begin somewhere. Something needs to get started. Somehow it needs to get going.
I just need to remember, everything has a beginning, even if it's just a placeholder:

He had a captivating personality that was brought to a close all too soon because of suicide. Despite having a personality and a life style which undoubtedly was the envy of many, everyone has their own demons that they keep close to their hearts.
If you're a holder of demons, understand that you're not alone. If you cant seem to find anyone to reach out to or talk to, just be sure to at least give the Suicide Prevention Lifeline a call: 1-800-273-8255
There's always someone who wants you because of who you are, no matter how fucked up life may seem.

I haven't jumped on the bandwagon but I hear fun things about it.
Aggressive Retsuko
Japanese mascot company Sanrio continues their postmodern evolution with a long-form reboot of their 2016 series; formerly a 100-episode compendium (60 seconds ea.) of the frustrations of an entry-level Japanese office lady: everything from her old-timey misogynistic boss (literally a pig) to her inconsiderate coworkers. Her bottled up id comes in the form of a KISS-fashioned death metal frontman, belting out anthems like, “Pushing us around when we can’t fight back; SHITTY BOSS!!!” in the safety of an empty karaoke booth. Rage as she might, she is trapped in nightmarish corporate slavery, where her gender, age, position and pleasant demeanor are constantly wielded against her.
The new Netflix series restructures stock characters and isolated punchlines into a sitcom with arcs, which maintain a balance of humor and drama; tension and release. Retsuko seeks escape but her rosy daydreams continually crash back to reality. It arrives at an interesting moment in culture, but rather than be an awkwardly "meta" manifesto as Sanrio Danshi was, “Aggretsuko” is instead a visceral illustration of the injustices of corporate life from a female perspective. The id remains bottled, but gradually the karaoke booth of angst isn't as empty anymore.
Verdict: youtu.be/u2xpJtqysnU?t=3m42s

Pick and Explain - Verses 33 - Zelda and Link by @projectTiGER_
📖 I love how fun these illustrations feel. I was almost going to mis label them to really throw people off... but I wasn't sure if I had enough credibility to pull it off :P
✿ Pick who you prefer. Is it because of the character or this particular illustration? I'd love to hear why!

About the Verses Challenge Series
-------------------------------------
Let's try something. As part of the illustrations I share, I usually add a reason why it's something that I find interesting. It could be just about the feeling it conveys, or a particularly well detailed feature I like, or it simply has that je ne sais quoi to it.
But let's hear what you think. I'm going to pick 2 images from the collection and put them in a poll. You can just pick which one you like better, but what I want to hear is a comment about why you like one you chose :).
I'm going to force you to be decisive, and it may not be easy :P.
If you like, there's a dedicated collection just for these challenges: https://goo.gl/Q5mtyB

I'm pretty sure it's not, but this illustration from @ttguweiz feels like a modern remake of 「Kiki's Delivery Service」, set in a city with a little bit darker tone to it.

Something so nice and slice-of-life about this photo by @Ao_maru_a. Wafuku wear is always so nicely worn... which sounds obvious...
