Hey all
Its been 6 days since my last journal and I'm feeling better but it has been a bumpy road.
None the less I still have to staff at the Zenkaicon convention (leaving today) for the next four days or so. At first I was debating even going but as I felt better that feeling went away and my nervousness about being a "gofer OP" went away. I know that I'll have fun, I got a butt load of glow sticks for the rave. This will help me feel better overall too since I won't be looking at the news about Japan.
Speaking of, Anna kindly brought one of my adoptables so I can donate! I was so happy that I was ready to cry again haha. I'm going to add that to my 25$ that I'm able to donate and I'll donate more when I'm at the con. Thank you so much Anna, your so kind and sweet!
And I wanted to throw in some words of the wise manly because I hate hearing the internet in general pick apart at "the best way to help Japan" or people get this high and mighty aura because they donated. I mean someone I respected on twitter said "Instead of wishing, hoping, and throwing fairy dust at Japan, I'm actually donating".
(I'm going to get some frustrations out first) First off, take the incredibly huge **** out your ass. I mean I wouldn't be so anal if this person wasn't STILL ADVERTISING HER LIVE STREAMS, CONTESTS, ART, AND PRODUCTS ON TWITTER among her "donations" which were way less in comparison. Shit, I hear way more about her personal stuff then some hardcore "let donate to Japan" rallying. I'm not trying to down her since I really like her as an artist and such but "mind sets" like this irritate me to no end, which will lead me to my original saying.
"You can't buy miracles" or more a less "Miracles doesn't come from money"
Pick or choose whichever quote you like best but the message is the same. In no way shape or form can money do what love, appreciation, and compassion can. Yes, money can "buy" all the things that Japan needs to help rebuild and such but look a little deeper then that and you will see that "positive" emotions was the drive of it. It was the wanting to help another that made that person or entity give the money in the first place. And even if you can't give money, that energy will materialize in some way which miracles can happen down the road in whatever form it comes in.
That's way I can't stress enough that if you CAN'T donate or give money by all means and "pray", and/or "positive energy" to Japan. It will reach there and it will create those miracles in small and big ways. In a huge way already the world is coming together to help a county. To me that's pretty awesome knowing how shitty this world can be. Unlike a lot of things in this world love and positive energy can help heal anything in this planet. I mean that's what the best stuff in this earth is made of, love and positive emotions.
So yeah, don't feel bad if you can't help money wise. Everything happens for a reason and somewhere down the road your energy will get picked up in some form. So just send your love and positivity to Japan because that helps just as much if not more then money.
This is my take on life and how the world works, if this doesn't resonate with you then by all means ignore it.
Thanks for reading you guys, take care.
