If only this as real 😫

2025/12/15 Edited to

... Read moreMany of us find ourselves captivated by the allure of fantasy realms, especially through platforms like BookTok where vibrant communities celebrate stories full of magic, mythical creatures, and otherworldly adventures. The hashtags #booktok, #fae, #acotar, and #azriel represent not just popular fantasy themes but also a collective wish to escape everyday stresses and experience wonder, beauty, and the extraordinary. Fantasy worlds like those depicted in 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' (ACOTAR) are rich tapestries woven with romance, danger, and mesmerizing fae lore, inviting readers to immerse themselves fully. Characters such as Azriel embody mystery and strength, becoming icons for fans who wish to experience deeper emotional connections and thrilling experiences absent from real life. The desire "to leave Earth and live in a fantasy realm" reflects a universal yearning for escapism — a mental break from routine, a place where imagination reigns supreme, and where the impossible feels real. This motivation is not just about entertainment but about finding hope and joy through storytelling. Moreover, art and artwork play a vital role in bringing these fantasies alive, adding visual depth that sparks creativity and passion among fans. As recognized by the "ARTWORK BY" credit often found in shared images, art fosters community and connection. Embracing fantasy realms through reading, artwork, and social communities allows individuals to explore identity, dreams, and emotions in ways that everyday life may not always permit. Consequently, this shared passion creates supportive networks where fans uplift each other, exchanging recommendations and personal reflections. Ultimately, the blend of immersive fantasy and real-world interaction through hashtags and creative content on platforms like Lemon8 enables many to live part of their lives in these captivating dream worlds—even if only for a moment.

30 soft - real talk
Holding myself accountable, self discipline, making excuses & being consistent is something I struggle hard with. Working out and eating healthy is something I really try to strive for, but if there’s a few days I slack, I seem to fall 10 steps behind and can’t back into the routine for a f

Salary transparency as a real estate agent
Technically, I do not get paid a salary, I get paid by commission only (which is 99% of real estate agents in the US). The more homes you sell, the higher "salary" you make. Some months you make a lot of $$ and some months you make $0 (and this takes a lot of getting used to). You really ha

This is the only vlogging lens you need
This is youtube’s vlogging lens queen for the M mount cameras. It’s also a great real estate photography lens. The 11-22mm focal length is great for getting a lot of landscape into your shot. I wouldn’t recommend this as a portrait lens because it’s SO wide, unless you want that almost fisheye look
