A Cup of Thoughts - by Vessel

  The Opening Sip of Thoughts - Infuriating Toxicity and People More common than you think I am sure we all have had at least one person that we find annoying. Whether they are extremely prideful and arrogant, extremely lazy and too carefree, or simply isn't pleasant being around, these kind of people are the ones we would rather not be around too much with. Personally, I despise when people are arrogant and belittle others without a second thought. I hate when they think they are this supreme main character that deserves everything while others deserve only their crumbs. This, I noticed, also came from MY pride. But that is a topic for another day.  Repeating what I said, I hate arrogance and pride in people. I also dislike heavily when someone easily talks bad about strangers online, especially in competitive video games. If you've read my introductory blogpost, you'll know that I'm an Indonesian. If you haven't, now you know. Indonesia is a part of South East Asi...

The Opening Sip of Thoughts - Look, a Cool Creature! Have you ever walked around and see a cool beetle that you can't help but gaze on? Maybe it has such an interesting form that our eyes and mind can't help but ponder on. Maybe it has such beautiful vibrant colors that we can't help but have our interest piqued by it. Maybe not even a bug, since some people are grossed out by those. Say you spot flowers somewhere along your way to work. A fragrant, white lily, letting its pleasant presence known to us as a delight. Or maybe you saw a cute cat on the way home from school as it rubbed its scent to your leg.  Look at that fennec fox!

The blue sky, the nice puffy clouds in the sky, and many things alike. Marvel at the beauty of God's creations, people! This, too, is part of God's intrica...

Good evening, readers. Care for a Cup of Thoughts in this beautiful evening? And by Cup of Thoughts, I meant my blogposts. No? Are you sure? Wait, please stay, I'll promise it will at least be a fun read! Who Even is This Kid? I am Vessel. I am known within the people that knows me as a beginner digital artist, a little bit of an anime fan, a little bit of a video game fan, but first and foremost, a recent Roman Catholic Convert. Aspiring Catholic, actually. Not yet in OCIA even, but I do hope I'll get there soon.  When in my final hours of the day, I am a 20 year old dude sitting in front of the 'puter doing things he enjoys doing. I REALLY love stories. Give me a fairy tale, give me an old short story, give me an entire novel. I'll eat them all up real good. Just don't give me spicy romance stories, I'll vomit reading those.  One thing that I already mentioned is that I'm a beginner digital artist. I have loved art since I was little. Albeit, my drawings h...
