OMG I WANT TO LEARN STAGE COMBAT

I JUST REALIZED THAT'S ALL I WANT IN ALL OF THE WEAPONS

DANG

I mean, learning the real ones would work too, I kind of want a combo.

  3. Broadsword
  4. Broadsword and Shield
  5. Smallsword
  6. Knife

To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.â€

"To say, 'I'm getting stronger, because I want to be strong for you'


is one of the most powerful things that you will ever have the chance to do.


 


To say it in words - or better, to say it without,


to strengthen your body when you feel no other cause,


to strengthen your health, and sacrifice in holy oath


the comforts that croon at you with enticing lure;


 


To spite your fears with courage and vulnerable honesty,


to turn away the poisons that would numb your senses,


to delve into the dark and foreboding depths of your own emotions


and learn their caverns so completely, that she will never be lost;


 


To make the iron will hot by striking;


to drill the army of your habits so thoroughly 


that you may walk into the unknown with tenacious trust 


that they will protect her even when you are worn;


 


To do these things, and do them still more


as you feel your essence burn with revolution,


 


To coax 'I'm getting stronger...' into a roar of thunder so loud


that no insidious thought dares to stay in the presence


of the tempest that is your belief in yourself,


 


To grip the words '...because I want to be strong for you'


like the shield it is; to refuse to let go, even as metal


slams against it's surface and shakes your very being,


 


To sing these words


with the truth of your eyes,


with every decision, with every action;


and wake up the next morning, choosing


to do it all again.


 


That is what it means


not just to feel love


but to be in it."


 


- Elizabeth S. Neiman, one of the most inspiring poets and speakers I know.

Um.. Do you mind if I post in your library?

About the singing, and courage.

 

Can you be alone anywhere,

like be absolutely sure no one comes?

 

Because then you can sing.

Some lyrics videos of your favourite songs.

No point how off key it is then, have fun.

The louder the better.

 

Because you'll be safe,

if no one will hear.

 

Get naked. Everything off.

It's a weird thing to say,

but it's so liberating.

 

(I really should do it more often.)

 

Anyway, go to a forest, middle of nowhere,

and dance to some Ricky Martin

 

 

 

"Dance like no one's watching."

 

Because they won't.

 

And if you do this a lot..

then
maybe

over  time

the courage comes?
