Okay that's deep
The test of a man is to control his sight and the test of a woman is to resist not being seen, because men are eager to look and women are eager to be seen.

not enough aang and gyatso out there...
Selamat tahun baru!
Kita akan meringis begitu kita tahu; di antara sorak sorai orang-orang berpesta menyambut 2023 itu, semuanya punya kemungkinan di tahun itulah perjalanan hidupnya akan berakhir.
Tapi kita semua juga tahu bahwa ada banyak kemungkinan-kemungkinan baik dan harapan tersemai di tangga waktu yang baru ini.
Berbahagialah mereka yang cerdas memuhasabahi dirinya; harap dan cemas beriringan hadir dalam hatinya, membuatnya optimis sekaligus siaga.
Jika kelak dianugerahi kesuksesan yang didamba, bersyukurlah kita barangkali tahun ini adalah waktu paling tepat setelah kita minta pada-Nya sejak lama. Allah pilihkan timeline paling pas.
Jika hari ke depan kita ada di "bawah", ketahuilah; at your lowest, you realize a lot.

warning: yes, this looks horrible. no, i do know grammar. yes, i can't bother to fix this mess. and yes, i'm probably not making sense. and no, i've never experienced this issue myself and i'm not claiming to an expert. these are just my two cents on the matter.
i think the creators of tlok really missed an opportunity to depict people with mixed races. like, it's weird how tenzin is the only one among aang and katara's kids who wears orange and kya is the only one who wears blue. honestly, i was sorta disappointed when i saw that their clothes matched their bending-colours and stereotypical ethnic colours. kya wears blue cuz she's a waterbender and she looks like her mom. tenzin wears orange cuz he's an airbender and he's not brown?? (don't know how else to put it). then there's bumi. why does he wear red for most of the time until harmonic convergence? why didn't he wear either of his parents' colours. speaking of which, why does he wear orange only after becoming an airbender. is identifying with your parent's culture without being a bender of their element forbidden in this universe? it stings worse after realising that the harmony-restoration-movement thing in the comics was against this sort of segregation. that people born into interracial families don't have just one race that they can identify with. all of this reminds of encanto, honestly. i once read this post (prolly on tumblr, lol) discussing the fact that pepa looks lighter-skinned and 'whiter' then either of her siblings. don't remember the middle but the concluding statement was that pepa is just as indigenous as her siblings, despite her genes making her look otherwise. back to tlok, tenzin is just as much southern water tribe as kya, kya is just as much air nomad and bumi is equally both. if there is gonna be any continuation of the avatar universe, i wanna see mixed characters struggling to balance both their parents' cultures despite inheriting one or neither of their bending.
Okay you make me feel better
They do say physical activity can lower anxiety and stress!
