Every Christian faces discouragement. It is one of the most common struggles in the spiritual life. Even strong believers—prophets, apostles, pastors, and leaders—have moments when their strength fades and their hearts feel heavy.
Discouragement can come from many sources: fatigue, disappointment, unanswered prayer, conflict with others, or simply the weight of life. If you have lived long…
‘What’s worse … not getting what you want or getting what you want and being disappointed?’
Brandon Taylor, from Minor Black Figures
He felt really stupid … for having said so much. It seemed silly now … he’d gone and said something about how he really felt. And now he felt judged. And he didn’t care for that at all.

What the hell happened? The beginning was so good, but as the story unfolded it became worse and worse. I’m not even mentioning the ending—what a complete mess that made absolutely no sense.
Also, why is the worst character (Greg) in the series not punished at all and allowed to walk free?
I’m very conflicted. I don’t know which character I enjoy more now: Tanya or Victoria. Because let me tell you, Victoria made season three. Otherwise it would have been a disaster.
I also don’t understand why we never get to see the reaction of the Ratliff family when Timothy, the father, tells them that he has lost everything. We were completely robbed of that moment.
The trio of girlfriends was only explored superficially. It could have been much more interesting to dive deeper into the tension, the friendship, the jealousy, the love, and the conflicts between them.
What does Rick even do for a living to afford this kind of hotel? Is he a hitman? How did he meet Chelsea? And how can Chelsea even tolerate this man?
What happened to Valentin’s friends—the ones who robbed the hotel? Why didn’t Laurie say anything after seeing the jewelry with Valentin’s friend?
Belinda turning bad was disappointing. She was one of the innocent characters. But I guess money can corrupt even the most innocent people.
It was nice to see that the hotel had tourists other than Americans, because that’s much closer to reality.
Also, amazing hotel! I wish I would be able to visit it one day.
Things that didn’t make sense:
gale
today the heart deflates
. inside seeps outside
slow and unnoticed until it is
crinkled like old mylar dragged
skyward by the feral-toothed wind
on the way out the door
he said the party isn’t over
he said a year isn’t a long time ?
but i think it depends on whether
you are looking forwards
or back
tell me
what is the word for
the sound of swallowing lies?
the way muscle holds memory?
the knot in the throat that refuses
to untangle?

Sri Lanka, who were co-hosts of the tournament, had already been eliminated from semifinal contention and were unable to close their campaign with a victory. (Image credit: Sri Lanka Cricket)
Sri Lanka head coach Sanath Jayasuriya has chosen to step aside from his position following the team’s narrow five-run defeat to Pakistan in their final Super Eights fixture of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup…
A: It’s not an anagram, is it?
B: Not everything’s an anagram, A.
A: That’s such a shame…
Nothing is more annoying than seeing a notification for a less than active community, getting excited and then seeing a blurred out pornbot’s post. I’ve had to report and block so many of those damned things in the last day alone.
I get all excited that a fandom is getting interaction and then nope it’s gross ass porn. And it’s the same damned image every gods damned time. At least it’s blurred out but still, there might be minors in some of those communities. (Which btw I don’t think I’ve seen those bots in the singular 18+ community I’m in.)
when i get a bunch of likes on this blog and its just some straight dude liking a bunch of the shit ive reblogged LMAO
I needed to postpone taking the CNA class because of the delay in getting my second TB test, which meant I would miss orientation and clinicals. I told my vocational rehab counselor, and she let me know that vocational rehab will not pay for a second time. I have no way of paying, so I cannot become a CNA. I had one little bit of hope, and it’s been dashed. I am broken in a way I never thought…
I believed I had good control over my desires. But at times I get desperate for the warmth I yearn for…!
