Red Ribbons of Destiny (Introduction)

Red Ribbons of Destiny



Introduction


According to the East Asian beliefs originally inspired by the Chinese legends of the Red Threads of Fate, people fated by the gods to be together as 'true lovers' are tied together by a red thread, generally thought to be tied to their little fingers.
These people thus connected are destined to be together regardless of place, time, or circumstances.

There are more ways to connect than merely as lovers. The Universe is a tapestry of interwoven threads, bound between people and events, across time and dimension and space. Some threads merely cross while others are bound and connected and we touch upon each other's lives for a reason, even if we don't always understand the reasons at the time.

I believe in ribbons, the Universe as sentient, the stories we receive given to us for a reason; to teach, to strengthen, to give hope and courage and inspiration. This place, this platform, is where I hope to be able to share some of those stories.

Welcome to The Voices of the Ribbons.



Giving thanks to the inspiration I received from Jun and The8 of K-pop idol group Seventeen for their MV MyI.

    I love this idea and totally embrace it. I think it's interesting when you meet people and have an almost immediate connection (or vice versa and there is a feeling that causes you to not trust them).

The Problem with DID: Dealing with Multiple Opinions in the Same Mind

 The Problem with DID Dealing with Multiple Opinions in the Same Mind For those not automatically in the know, DID is the acronym for Dissociative Identity Disorder and, since this isn't a treatise on the condition, if you wish more specific insight, please feel free to look it up.  In its simplest nutshell, DID refers to having multiple identities residing within one mind, and, most often, those identities are independent of one another and rarely communicate between themselves. This can lead to complications. Many  complications, not least of which occur when they have differing and oftentimes completely opposing opinions on things.  I  have DID and, to date, somewhere around seven separate personas reside in my mind. I liken it to having a boardroom meeting taking place between my ears. A boardroom meeting before it's been called to order, when everybody is talking at once without any specific agenda. It can get very noisy and very confusing. The reason I was inspired to wri

Broken Mirrors

Broken Mirrors By Tai We are not the product of our past but the product of our choices. It is ok to embrace the past but not to permit it to dictate who we become. Even the child of our past deserves to be embraced and the voiceless child is NOT to blame. These are things it is easy to accept in a clinical, detached, logical way and yet so much harder to accept and apply to reality. Our reality, for ourselves personally. Or at least, this is how I perceive it. True, it could have been worse. It can ALWAYS be worse. The possibility or acceptance of worse does NOT, however, detract from the fact that our pasts have an effect on who we become. However, it’s what we do with our past that determines who we permit ourselves to become. One of the few clear memories I have of my childhood is of my father-person coming to me after he’d beaten me or abused me or fought with me in whatever way he was given to on the day. He’d sit beside me on my bed and say, “I’m s
