Hai! My name's Spades! Jack of Spades, at your service, and this is my diary of life in Ponyville. I came here not used to having a place to call home... or friends for that matter. But that's another story! I'm looking for ways to make myself useful! What could possibly go wrong? Important #tags! #Spadestory - for story! Chronology not guarenteed~ #SpadesDreams - for filtering out bad dreams and spoilers #Reference - for poses!

Was eating breakfast and @askspades crossed my mind. I'm bad at communicating so we haven't talked in a bit, but I decided that a quick, 5-minute doodle would be a fun reminder.

Also, sorry that it's small blue, not 'yeena. I haven't done any anthro 'yeena studies yet and knew with good confidence I'd goof that pretty bad. ^^;

Its always nice to go for a little walk, stretch the legs, cross the road, a few fields and a couple of people's minds every now and again~

Thank you for thinking of me!

Look who I found!

Its been a little quiet around here lately, but that's no reason not to try getting a little organised again!

Sometimes I become so focused on being responsible for carrying my own load, to not inconvenience others by their needing to stop and relieve me, that I have become guilty of trying to hide when I am having a difficult time.

It would do for me to remember that help, support and encourage can come freely without others needing to take up my load. Sometimes all a problem needs is a fresh set of eyes.

Sometimes the cart must be adjusted, unloaded, repaired, but maybe that is another story for another day.

Thanks to @ask-tay-relic for Astheny’s company this trip!

How does one ask for help without being a burden to others?

How does one unlearn the instinct to politely dismiss all external offers of support? To consider oneself worthy of time and effort? 

How does one find the line between self care and selfishness? Between independence and indulgence?

Where does one even begin?

Truly, it feels more validating to help others than to help oneself. Have I been being selfish all along?

Reposting this one because

Um

Reasons?

A silly reply to another post!

Love is such a little word to cover such a range of emotionals and intent, but I hope I’m able to convey my meaning with my actions! Love is unconditional and given freely to all. 

The very least I can do for anyone is my best!
