I want community more than ever

Keywords: american-politics , identiy , life , love , mental health , queerness , relationships , writing

I want to gather, to rally, to feel less alone — but I don’t know where to go. Church hasn’t felt safe in a long time, and after everything I’ve learned about myself and organized religion, I don’t know if it ever will again. My letterpress community is scattered across miles and states. The museum that once felt like home no longer feels safe, and the people who understood me feel impossibly far away.

I felt confident again and I wanted to pursue that feeling!

Keywords: Happy , Movies , Acting , Days of our lives , Heather Ashley Chase , Heather chase on TV , HOLLYWOOD , MIAMI , NBC , NYC , SAG CARD

The first TV show lead part came after a day of being signed with a new agent in Florida in the year 2000 … . I did one or 2 shoots for the show, here and there and a lot of good came out of it. I built a fan base. We were picked up in Japan and the UK and to many places overseas. But again, I had that same feeling of being alive in front of the camera, as I did being on a stage.

I don’t aspire to be a teacher permanently – I simply want to gain some experience in being a teacher

Keywords: {0}

Sometimes, I also have the desire to be a teacher, but other times I don’t, depending on my interaction with my students. If they are attentive and able to grasp the lessons, I feel happy being a teacher. However, if they are noisy and struggling, it becomes difficult for me, and I feel inclined to quit teaching as it becomes boring. I won’t discuss anything else about it.

I decided for the first however many months (timeframe subject to life and vibes) I would only create stuff I wanted to for fun

Keywords: Chatter , Life , Monthly Goals , author, goals, maternity leave, new baby, novel, writer, Writing, writing community

Some would argue writing and art should never be an obligation, but those people probably haven’t attempted to write a novel. If they have, I doubt they’ve finished a first draft. At least not in under a decade. You can overall want to do something and still need to schedule the day to day work of it and give yourself a little carrot/stick to get started. Also pattern design is kind of my day job, and day jobs care nothing for organically occurring motivation. You just gotta do them.

I want to encourage you to discover who you are

Keywords: anger , grief , abuse , suicide , trauma , healing , mental health

Feel your feelings. Recognize your emotions. Bring Jesus into all of it. He will reveal so much to you and help you with all of it. He knows you better than you do. Ask questions. Ask Him to reveal who you are in HIm.

I would like to live in a place where all my identities can be met

Keywords: north america , outside_outdoor_in motion , angora lake , donner sate memorial museum , donner state park , fallen leaf lake , lake tahoe , sugar pine point beach , transcontiental railroad donner summit tunnels , truckee

I want an outdoor life, but also culturally identify with people that look like me, and have histories likes me. I don’t want to drive to Las Vegas for vegetarian dim sum or the asian grocery store.

I know I’ll be motivated to update this blog all the time because I want people to be able to share in the journey with me

Keywords: agents , first blog , first post , literary agents , novel , publishing , query , querying , Writing

I already have a million writing projects I’m working on, so why am I doing this again? Maybe it’s because as much as I love writing, I love writing about my writing just as much, maybe more. Also, this is a pretty exciting summer for me and I really want to keep a record of it, but I’m never disciplined enough during the summer to actually write in my hard copy journal. Mostly, this will be a more permanent and explained version of what I put on facebook.

I want to grow old and still feel in touch with my younger self

Keywords: Scribbled by Pfungwa , 22 , birthday , growth , love , newblog

I think I am happy or somewhat content. I am scared of how time flies, but I am also grateful it does and exists as proof that things may get better with time. Maybe because a lot changes as time moves, new avenues open, we meet new people, say goodbyes, and go through the torrential emotions of life. I think I can confidently spell that I love my life and the people in it. Uhm, whatever it is, I want something soft. I want to sit back, be a favorite of the universe and experience the goodness of life in its abundance. Despite the rigid nature of our existence, I want to live an unconventional life; I want to be unorthodox, I want to exist outside the norm, and I simply want to be happy.

I like the idea of having a little side hustle to top up my account for a rainy day but not something that takes over my world because I want to be available for my husband to provide whatever he needs

Keywords: {0}

I want to be able to blog, chill, eat what I want when I want, see friends and family. Not that I have many friends at the moment or entirely want any.

Maybe This Christmas … I (Want that We) Shall Be Released

In Case You Missed It: I was MIA this past monday [1]. No biggie — you are now receiving a full refund of your daily dose of Wants.Blog with this bonus blog post (including free shipping plus delivery on time for Christmas)! 😀

Of course in my own private world, every day is a holy day — and yet every now and then I pause a little bit more to reflect … and therefore I am appropriately tagging this post with “Golden Rule“. 😉

Likewise, I will be providing an opportunity for us (in other words: you and me) to exchange gifts (more details below the fold — LOL).

The image above was generated by the WordPress editor, based on the input text “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the Headlights”. I refuse to rate it. Instead, I wish to challenge my readers to create another image for what I am attempting to express here (and also in “Technology (and Audience) Capture” [ https://socio.business.blog/2025/12/20/technology-capture ] ).

I promise to be very liberal (and accepting) of images — for each and every (appropriate) image that is created, suggested, etc.

Any takers? Any givers? Any gift exchanges? … ? Please feel free to submit your image / application in the comments section! 😀
