Take a walk with me 🌸🍃
Added 2023-05-05 21:26:04 +0000 UTCHello my precious celestials!
Hope you're getting ready to start your weekend right and get the most out of it... or maybe simply sloth through it and recharge, as you certainly should!
Just wanted to share something with you in hopes of making you smile. This was my very first time seeing Japanese cherry blossom, and it was magical (even though I've been told that I was a bit late for the full bloom). Apparently, there's this Japanese garden in the city with real Sakura trees that were delivered here straight from Japan about 35 years ago. To be completely honest, I've never even heard about this place before, and found it by accident a couple of days ago. Best thing that happened to me in a while.
Life has been a bit challenging lately, though I'm sure everybody can relate now, to some extent. I couldn't write anything good at all for quite some time and kept beating myself up for letting you all down and possibly not meeting your expectations. And I can't stand disappointing people.
The truth is, I'm living with this obsessive fear of imperfection and disappointment, and that's why it takes me so long to deliver content here for you, guys. I'm sorry for that and I'll try to work harder on overcoming this useless trait of mine. "Done is better than perfect" will be my personal motto from now on, since you're probably here for my audios, and not necessarily for the perfect audios.
I don't know if anyone needs to hear this right now at all... but not feeling good enough in the moment is okay. Just try to remember that it's only a fleeting moment, and everything can change tomorrow. You can randomly find a place you've never been to before, have a snack that helps you regain that taste for life or hear a song that inspires you to start over again. Just try to not lose hope and keep pushing through during this weird time when nothing makes sense, it seems. And yes, my messages are always open if you ever need to talk to someone.
I'll be posting a couple of polls tomorrow to decide on the best way of moving forward with my content here. After all, I'm doing this all for you, so it's only fair that I prioritize your opinion here. So, I'll ask you to participate and vote, this is extremely important to me. And there will be a couple of those polls as well. I'm just letting you know in advance, so that you're not taken aback by this.
Once again, thank you for being there for me still, you're incredible, so supportive and so gentle with me. I was honestly expecting to be yelled at in the comments or in messages by now... but you've been nothing but kind to me. Thank you for that.
Solar xx
P.S. I ended up writing 3 stories in that garden, can't wait for you to hear them... So, guess I got that happy ending? Means you can have yours as well.
P.P.S. And I couldn't help it and made some wallpapers for you. Probably a silly thought, but who knows, maybe someone would like these enough to actually use one of them.

At first I wasn't sure whether the picture was real or animated. I don't know of a place so picturesque in my city. How come that pavilion isn't crowded all day? Life can be tough. I'm also a little stressed now. I've got about a month to finish my thesis and I've been sick, so I didn't make progress for a week. I think I'm also a little too perfectionist for my own good. If you mean ambition on a level that makes you want to double-check everything and work tirelessly, then I think that's a good trait to have. Yes, it can make things take longer than you want, but it also shows the pride you take in your work.

2023-05-07 00:51:25 +0000 UTCBjorn… thank you 🥺🤍 I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like this being said to me before, really. And I definitely receive this love from you as well, so it’s a perfectly balanced exchange here! 😉 Thank you for this kindness, I’m so happy to have you here on this journey with me 🙌

2023-05-07 00:46:55 +0000 UTCHappy to know you have found another place to disconnect n recharge. I have about 4 places in my city and others further out. When it commes to creative work or large projects at home and I get stuck n start to stress or get anxious I head out to these places with my doggos. I also pick up snakcs or a nice meal and just take the time to exist and nothing else. Ty for the pics, sharing ur feelings n thoughts as well as the words of encouragement. He are also here to share the great emotions that you gift us with every awesome audio drop. Hugely huge hug n kiss back to u gal!

2023-05-06 05:41:49 +0000 UTCI don't have much to add since everyone has already said most things I want to say😅. But I'll say this: I mean it when I say you're perfect Solar. Yes you have your imperfections or things that you may see as "flaws", but those imperfections are what makes you, you. I don't see them as flaws, that's perfection in my eyes. We are all here for YOU. You may doubt yourself on the daily, there is no way for me to know. But you're beautiful in every way. I just hope you know that. This love you show us through your audios is incredible, stupendous even. You continue to show this selflessness that...I....it just fascinates me. Words will never be enough to describe the way you love and care about us. I think I can speak for everyone here that you have impacted our lives in amazing ways. Don't let it mess with your mental too much, and when the sky goes dark again and the rain starts pouring, we are here for you🤍🤍 :)

2023-05-06 04:48:32 +0000 UTCIf you're still looking, on the phone app it should just be tap and hold on the image and then click save image, on desktop it's just right click the image and saving it that way :)

2023-05-06 04:29:55 +0000 UTCSolar you are probably one of the most careing persons I ever met. The way you get thoughts of letting us down or not living up to expectations is so relatable. But I think I speak for most of your members here if I say that you shouldn't over think it too hard. As for me, I am here because I really think you have so much talent and your audios are as close to perfection as any audio can ever be. And they will be if you take less time polishing them. Or if you want to appease the perfectionist within, go for less uploads and take more time. Imo it makes no difference if you post 5 or 1 audios a week. 😊 You are awesome! And have a great weekend 😉

S
2023-05-05 23:44:02 +0000 UTCThank you, Nargles! And yes, I just looove polishing them so much, but in all honesty, I’m probably the only one who can even tell the difference between the two versions in the end 😆🙈 so you’re definitely right about that! Thank you for all the wonderful uplifting words! And yay, I’m glad these photos could make you smile ☺️ sending you lots of love and positive energy!

2023-05-05 23:37:28 +0000 UTCThank you! Will try my best 🤍 and I’m so happy to know that I can help you feel better somehow, truly. That’s all I want 🙌

S
2023-05-05 23:31:48 +0000 UTCI'm not good at this so there's not much I can say, but you've done so pretty amazing audios in the past that I've found near perfect, so there's that. Sending love and support for whatever comes next, I know it will be amazing. The garden really looks amazing and so peaceful, everyone needs a happy place like this to take a breather and have deep thoughts.

2023-05-05 23:08:20 +0000 UTCHey, Solar. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos and your lovely message to us all. Solar, I can really tell you are a perfectionist; your audios are so thoughtful and polished. I would say it's not a useless trait, but I totally understand why you feel the need to reign it in so that you feel better. And as for me, I don't need perfection from you every single time. It's cliche, but imperfections can add a quality and character all of it's own. :-) In fact, I'm very awkwardly trying to say what you already said perfectly above - we are here for YOUR audios, not perfect ones! And even if you think a particular audio isn't perfect, we will probably think it is! Anyway, I'm sorry you aren't feeling great, and I hope you feel better soon. x

2023-05-05 22:40:46 +0000 UTCSolar, I love the photos! It looks so nice, wish we had something like this where I live. And, you you always do such a superb job. Your audios never fail to make me warm and fuzzy on the inside (and I’ve really needed that lately…), so you’re definitely doing something right. As always, be kind to yourself and don’t work yourself to hard xx

2023-05-05 22:02:16 +0000 UTCRight? Magical 🤩 and the last 4 pictures are supposed to be them, I’m not sure if the quality is as good as it’s supposed to be though. Please let me know if it’s low quality, and I’ll think of some other way to share them then.
