It Starts at The End and Goes Backwards

Hello Inter-Webs

This is a relaunch of a blog I started 2+ years ago. Some of my old posts may be posted for refreshing and perusal as I am trying to play with this new platform.

This is the first of many things to come. I see this page as a repository for my thoughts and designs and artwork. Maybe occasionally a question that needs crowdsourcing to solve or ponder.

My name is Ffaelan. I am a lot of things. Mad, bad and dangerous to know? Maybe a little. But what I have is a brain that will not shut up. And in addition to side loading my thoughts to various other platforms, I hope to find a way to share my thoughts, art, and whatever else crosses my mind at any point during the day. I don't particularly care if this becomes a popular thing or not. I hope to unload the stresses I feel by not expressing myself artistically every day when I can.

Here you may find designs, artwork, or just rambling and musings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Mentors

[I was on a bad blog site for a year and hardly anyone saw my stuff, so occasionally I will be reposting old posts that are not necessarily topical or relevant, but still interesting to me.] men·tor ˈmenˌtôr,ˈmenˌtər/ noun 1. an experienced and trusted adviser. synonyms: adviser, guide, guru, counselor, consultant; confidant(e) I have spoken about this slightly before in my education timeline. But this will go into a bit more detail. Having a mentor is something that I think everyone needs. Those fortunate enough to have or a had a mentor in their lives will completely understand this. If you have never had one, think about getting one. Although the finding of one is more organic than a web search, the looking is important. Most often they come about when you are already doing something that you enjoy. They are a person of knowledge that sees in you, potential and then takes the time to work with you and be there for you to further your education. I myself have been lucky

How to Live Unhappily Ever After

Photo by Noah Silliman on Unsplash How to Live Unhappily Ever After By AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS "I just want to be happy." I can't think of another phrase capable of causing more misery and permanent unhappiness. With the possible exception of, "Honey, I'm in love with your youngest sister." In our super-positive society, we have a zero-tolerance policy for negativity. But who feels 'Great!' all the time? Yet at first glance, it seems so guileless. Children just want to be happy. So do puppies.  Happy  seems like a healthy, normal desire. Like wanting to breathe fresh air or shop only at Whole Foods. But "I just want to be happy" is a hole cut out of the floor and covered with a rug. Because once you say it, the implication is that you're not. The "I just want to be happy" bear trap is that until you define precisely, just exactly what "happy" is, you will never feel it. Whatever being happy means to you, it needs to be s

Mr.Rogers and Our Neighborhood

[I was on a bad blog site for a year and hardly anyone saw my stuff, so occasionally I will be reposting old posts that are not necessarily topical or relevant, but still interesting to me.] Like many children of the late '70s and early '80s, I watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. And spend quite a bit of time in my own neighborhood of make-believe. There is quite a lot written about Fred Rogers and the show. Recently my interest was rekindled by a video by the YouTube Channel, Mental Floss. Which, if you do not watch, you should, plain and simple. They cover a wide variety of topics that are well researched and very informative and usually also amusing. They Also have a web presence.  Here is the video from their channel. Fred Rodgers saw on television a void. He saw children watching the same shows as adults, which is who they were geared to. And he saw that children did not have a show that was really about and for them. He saw that children did not have to be ente
