Anyone like me who dares think about storywriting when they're off it will be given a message on their phones saying: "YOU MUST NOT WORRY!" and instead do the following activities: drawing, colouring, sticker books, AgeRe, Pinterest posts, journalling, creative journalling and making playlists.
Last night, I put on He Man to soothe me to sleep, and as I drifted off to the L.O.N, I saw a story I never want to forgive anyone for, set to music from the above video: Orko wandered places around a town on Earth, even an empty park, because He Man had treated him in a cruel manner. Eternia was such a cold-hearted and horrid place to him, and that's why he was alone. At last, he broke down into tears and began to cry, but luckily, Furaha was there to comfort him, and the two shared a hug that even brought Furaha to silent, yet happy tears.
Didn't some old Disney story say, "It's through our tears that we find another way?" I wanted to cry when I woke up first thing, because the song in the video above was so emotional. It made me think of how awful life was today, and how we all want to go back to when we were kids - some caregivers to protect us and keep us safe. But as I got older, I experienced mental health issues and negativity, and I resorted to slice of life moments between my characters because I wanted to go back to when I was a kid - minus all the stereotypical things that make the AgeRe genre.
But you must know this: when we cry due to the emotional weight we experience from growing up, we're actually smiling inside. We feel that secret smile from the moment we shed our first tears, and it's telling us we're finding joyful things inside the saddest moments of our lives. All the times I cried, I felt myself smiling inside - and that's a reminder that, in the future, anxiety, negativity and mental health issues will be caused by two words: perfectionism and publicity.
However, only last month I discovered that the P words don't matter to me anymore, because I don't need a job. All I need is the simple life I wanted - making handmade books is okay, but publishing?
NO WAY!
"Sometimes, it's through our tears that we find another way."
The Picnic Gang is the ultimate agere picnic planning group. They can invite you and your parents to any picnic, just make sure you don't get on Kion's nerves, or else he'll swipe you!
Meet The Gang
Kion - The grumpiest and most unconvinced of the group. He wouldn't join in any games or songs during their picnics, and keeps a grumbling look on his face even when he is having fun with everyone.
Rarity - The stylish leader of the group. Despite her unique choice for fashion, she always organises the best food for the picnics, and always organises each picnic with a different theme.
Bluey - An energy filled Aussie Blue Heeler pup. Following the eating and sunshine-filled naps, she organises pretend and energetic games for everyone so that their food can digest inside their tummies.
Sofia The First - A beautiful young princess from the Land Of Enchancia. During the picnics, she always leads her friends in a singsong or two, and she sometimes calls on her animal friends, especially Clover, her best friend and pet rabbit, to sing with her.
Bubbles - The energetic and most enthusiastic of her team of little girls who save the world just before bedtime. The problem is, while everyone else is napping, Bubbles still has the energy and frivolity to play and have fun in the warm sunshine!
And, it doesn't matter if it begins to rain, there's always indoor picnics to be planned. Rarity always plans the theme - pyjama parties, blanket forts, sleepovers - anything for a wild night in, eating and drinking and being as merry as a red faced Mojo Jojo.
