The Porous Rock 🪨
I have always prided myself on being a rock. Strong. Rock solid. Tough as stone. This pride was never about ego. It was about survival. Strength became my language early on, learned through necessity and reinforced by circumstance. I learned that to endure meant to harden, that softness was a liability, that being unmovable was the same thing as being safe. A hard exterior kept me upright when everything else felt uncertain. Being solid meant being dependable. Being dependable meant being worthy.

“It’s Not You, It’s Me!”
There comes a time in life when I look at the things I used to do, especially when I was much younger and wanted to get along with others. There were times when I went along with the routines, the invitations, and habits of others that no longer fit me. Theref0re, I am breaking up with those habits.

I Missed the Meeting, But the Fire Cats Stayed
I’m sitting here watching a strange video—three orange cats, neon-bright, glowing like embers. The number 333 keeps flashing on the screen, and for some reason it feels intentional, like the universe is tapping me on the shoulder instead of shaking me awake. The sound from the TV hums softly, almost like a bonfire crackling on a beach. Fire cats. That’s what they are. I don’t know why that comforts me, but it does.

Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs Redefines the Future of Trade Policy
Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs Redefines the Future of Trade Policy The Supreme Court decision on tariffs marks a critical turning point in the relationship between law, politics, and economic policy in the United States. Tariffs have historically been used as a strategic tool to protect domestic industries, influence foreign governments, and respond to global economic pressures. However, as tariffs increasingly affect consumers, businesses, and international relations, their legality and scope have come under intense judicial scrutiny. The Court’s ruling provides long-awaited clarity on how far tariff authority can extend and who ultimately controls it.

Word of the Day: 推し
I am not putting any more time on my timer right now. I am just trying to get by here. There is almost no point to school because, like 35% of the time is technical difficulties and the rest of the time is things that actually aren't really useful.

Word of the Day: 進捗
I came to school with a really heavy bag. I packed both of my computers in my backpack today. I guess I need to actually work too but I am just spending my time here for some reason. I am not getting financial aid, they keep sending me emails about that I made " changes " so I am like... ok I guess I have to handle it. It is very annoying. Hence why I am sitting here. My backpack is super heavy and I don't want to climb all those steps. I haven't eaten a lot lately. I mean I am happy I lost like 4lbs so that's good but, I am pretty miserable for the most part.

I can feel it . Content Warning.
I dunno what is in store with me ,but I feel like there’s going to feel something great : Have you ever in your life felt like that? Like as your heart is beating real fast with joy ? That feeling where you know or aware what it is ,but do not know what it is ( if that makes sense )? That feeling that you cannot put your finger on it ? That one where you have to keep silent and say what it is but not even a single soul ? Yeah that feeling.
