#Il peggior nemico/Worst enemy
“Il peggior nemico dell’uomo è di avere coscienza dei propri pregi, perché ciò lo rende arrogante. Diventato arrogante non cessa di far capo a se stesso e ciò lo porta alla rovina”
Chuang Tsu
“Man’s worst enemy is to be aware of his own merits, for this makes him arrogant. Having become arrogant, he never ceases to rely on himself, and this leads to his ruin.”

Anger
Today, Paul was a jerk as usual, in the small ways, he jabs at me and my dignity or self-image. For years, Paul has said I don’t listen to him. His insistence that I don’t listen is what started me down the path of writing down every argument. I was trying to figure out if I missed anything he was saying in our arguments, so when the argument ensued, I was quietly adjusting my inner compass for…

Wishy Washy? ……11/16/25
Go through this decision making process: Identify the issue; brainstorm alternatives; narrow them down based upon what’s important to you. Then, by all means, decide. Be sure to implement your course of action. A bit later, evaluate it and, if necessary, make changes. Which step in this process is the hardest for you?
The other day on the way back from my walk, I was nearing my home and a…

Vivian Gales timeline headshots!
This is the first time ive digitally drawn her so this is me nailing down her design, ignore the fact only one is partly rendered
Side note, I absolutely adore how the last portrait came out. Anyways, lore-related ramblings under the cut
[[MORE]]If her name is familiar at all its because she is Dante Gale’s older sister. She is also the current general of Vergold.
Vivian is one of a handful of charaters that appears later and has already been through an arc or two, so giving her a timeline felt like a good way to keep up with the major events that happened pre-cannon
These feature Viv from age 15-21+
I’ll end up doing one of these for each one of the survivors.

I am too aware. Or maybe I am just dumb. Maybe I can’t tell what’s wrong with me. Maybe I relate too many things. Or maybe I am aware. Maybe I am aware that everything around could hurt me, could prevent me, or could change things. Change the outcome, could change how I feel the next second or the next minute. I struggle, I struggle to change it yet maybe I am just dumb. I don’t understand. Or maybe I do. I keep repeating the same cycle over and over again. It’s like myself that predicted it last two years ago. Myself, predicted what it’s gonna happen and now it’s happening again. Two years went by and those exact two years ago are happening today. I am aware. I am alive. I can die. Nobody would notice yet they would, wouldn’t they? They think I’m breaking rules or causing trouble but really I am somewhere, out there, laying on the ground dead. Before my birth, I saw something. I could be experiencing memories that probably didn’t even exist and yet I experience them. I want to relate so I could fit in but now I keep switching. I saw myself. A baby. Street lights flash, and I keep seeing myself, on my dad’s lap, laughing. I saw myself. A peak of life I was and am going to experience. Yet I wasted it. On electronics and devices. It infected me and now I can’t go back and fix them. I live with the consequences and I keep seeing patterns, cycles that are happening again and again and again. I am in hell. In my own Purgatory. I can’t change it. I just go back to whatever I do and forget. Or maybe I don’t? Maybe I would and could change it. Maybe.

I am free.
I was willing to sacrifice my peace, my time, my energy, even my sense of self, because I thought love was supposed to look like that. I thought love meant devotion, even when it hurt. But I’ve learned that some people simply cannot give what we need, not because we aren’t worthy, but because they don’t know how.
I’ve realized that no one should hold that kind of power over my heart. The heartbreaks and betrayals were harsh teachers, but they taught me boundaries. They showed me the difference between love and control, between care and manipulation. Real love doesn’t hurt, abandon, or diminish someone’s worth.
I trust myself now. I see the patterns and the lessons. I will honor my worth, not by settling for crumbs, but by expecting and giving real love, respect, and integrity.
I am not broken. I am awake. I am learning that letting go of people who cannot love us is not loss, it is freedom. And I will never give up everything for someone who isn’t ready to give their whole heart.
