Stoicism Stories

The Mindscape was falling apart, quite frankly. Or, at least that's how Logan saw it over with the Light Sides. He found that it was very stressful to constantly watch things fall apart before his very eyes, and have absolutely no control over it. Roman never left his room. Patton was constantly trying to keep the peace between him and Virgil. Virgil himself was constantly venting about his own issues and hatred to Logan, but with his dead-set mind Logan only began to question his situation more. Especially when he caught a glimpse of a better life- one that was only a quick spell and a contract's sign away. And when the concepts of good and bad were arguably meaningless since you could assign any preferred characteristics to either term, was it really that bad of a decision to join the Dark Sides? Well... yes, actually. •~~~~~~• (TWs: Crying, Break-Ups, Mentions/Usage of Alcohol, Numb Emotion, Cursing/Inappropriate Language, Food) (Also, Virgil acts a tad bit toxic for the first ~10 chapters but this is NOT unsympathetic!virgil. He will eventually realize and change his behavior.) •Don't Be So Stoic takes place directly after the happenings of Episode 29 of Sanders Sides, Putting Others First, and the characters in the book are all from that series and belong to Thomas Sanders. If you are not up to speed on the series I would suggest watching it first.• •The plot of this story is entirely just a headcannon that was twisted and stretched out until it appeared as its own book. None of this is canon as of the book's beginning date.• ••This story contains mentions, implications, and/or "activity" of four ships: LOCEIT, LOGINCE, ANALOGICAL, and INTRULOGICAL(not in that particular order). If you do not like these ships then don't read the book, it's as simple as that.•• Start Date - August 7th, 2020 End Date - ? ? ?

FANTASY ADVENTURE

Amor Fati

Drabbles about living. Moving away, finding yourself, being in love and not know what it looks like. Parents. All that. Please enjoy

A deep, thought-provoking journey about decisions, destiny, and self-worth guiding you to break free from toxic relationships and choose a better life filled with peace, growth, and self-love.

I plan for this book to be an unadulterated, true psychological expression of myself. I am essentially trying to therapize myself by writing improvised dialogue between different parts of myself. This is not meant to be entertaining, but I am publishing it in the case that others find it to be a helpful tool for themselves. Not every entry will be satisfying to read or incredibly insightful. Nor will they necessarily make sense. The point is that it is a record of my psyche, and hopefully this form of self-work will inspire others to do the same. This work is inspired by the book: Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius.

The key to what we call love always has been something so confusing when we try to explain it instead of just feeling it, and maybe that's why I always have been kinda afraid to let it go with you, I don't want to lose your company not again, not anymore. Existing beside you since that beautiful morning when I met your beautiful smile, is one of the most wonderful things that I'll be grateful to any God that can hear my prayers. And there's not any single doubt in my mind that you're the chosen one, and if by any chance it's not you I'm willing to deny it, not 'cause of a simple whim, but cause I feel you so deep inside my mind and my heart. More than just your body, more than just your beautiful smile, it's all of you that makes me complete. In my last days, I'll be thinking about something or someone and it will be you and that beautiful way you have to make me feel alive when everything feels awful. Kinda dum', kinda smart, and kinda cheesy is the way you make me feel when I'm around you when I feel you, and not just that, there are a thousand more different ways that I could be, but and the end I'm just me when I'm with you. And I really try to make a point, but sometimes it feels like words can't describe it. Really, the more I try to say it to you, the less I feel I'll be able to give you all the love you deserve in this world and the others. Or maybe I should stop trying too hard, and just love u the way I can, as hard as I can, as soft as u want, and as passionate as we are able. Love u so much honey, like you will never know, sometimes it is repetitive as this little and small letter, and sometimes it's easy like saying that I won't be the one at your side.

Stoicism and Green Tea - a poem.

This is a collection of poems and writings bloomed from learned experiences. It is a mind exit from the entrance door, spilling words before dendrites dissolve and neurotransmitters disconnect. I aim to find purpose and direction in everyday events, but sometimes the events are not so common, not so mundane, not so predictable. Sometimes questions are answered. These writings are my attempt to find those answers.

Can we still find our own lost story? In anyway, I ponder, is it still the same even if it was forgotten? Credits to @kbluescript_graphics for DA's book cover.

This book is an in-depth exploration of Stoicism, a philosophical system developed by the ancient Greek philosopher, Zeno of Citium. It covers the core principles of Stoic thought, including the belief in the four elements, the five principles, and the three virtues, as well as the role of reason, nature, and fate in achieving inner peace and harmony. The book also provides practical advice on how Stoic philosophy can be applied to everyday life for a more meaningful existence.

Amid chaos, a gallery portrays Asian warriors in meditation, sipping tea, undisturbed by the turmoil. This captures Stoic wisdom: control reactions to uncontrollable events. Tea's mindfulness contrasts chaos, highlighting inner peace's strength. The message: true strength is mastering the mind. The gallery is a visual meditation, urging serenity in chaos.

Except for one day, magic happens in the end and he reaches above the cloud to acquire the wisdom of the tree's world and dies. But his aim to survive the darkness he achieves. How? It is the main question. (All right reserved!)

The siren song of gluttony has tempted humanity since time immemorial. Its false promise whispers that satisfaction lies just one more indulgence away. Yet contentment forever remains out of reach, keeping us trapped in cycles of empty consumption. In our ceaseless hunger for more, we become blind to the true sources of meaning and nourishment in life. Lost in sensory pleasures, we neglect cultivating virtue, purpose, and connection to others. We gorge on entertaining distractions rather than doing the difficult work of realizing our potentials. From ancient Rome's decadence to today's consumerist culture, gluttony's spectacle beckons. It caters constantly to our base appetites while impoverishing spirit and character. Momentary pleasure fades quickly into restlessness and ennui. But we need not be captive to this age-old cycle. We retain power to pause, reflect, and redirect attention to life's subtler riches. By practicing temperance, savoring simplicity, and infusing care into all we do, the spell of gluttony relents. The deeper call of meaningful pursuits echoes clearer. Thus through wisdom and self-mastery, we may finally feast on life's bounty untainted by greed or excess. Satisfaction need not come from grasping more, but appreciating fully what we have already been given.
