Metaphor Melody

 Just got Serapel in counterside with a free roll! :))))) Super surprised when it happened, because I had literally been saving 150 rolls since I started to roll for her, but she just came with the free roll I got Nielle bluesteel that way too. Got lucky in arknights and got Surtr on the ticket as well.  When I got Serapel, I'm not sure why, but the verse, "give us today our daily bread" came in. There's something nourishing about the hobbies that we enjoy too, isn't there?  That verse has been coming to mind a lot - in fact every time I eat, that it is through grace and that we truly depend on God for our next meal. And when it comes, we are grateful and reminded of his goodness and mercy. I feel that way through video games too. Anyways - love the character design for Serapel! Literally perfect aeshetically.

From time to time, I contemplate on the way that I spend my time. A lot of it is in front of a computer screen, whether it is work-related, or when I get home to play some games.  A question popped into my head: What is real? What is worthy of contemplation? I play a game called Counter-side, which is essentially a tower defense game with incredible artwork and graphics. But I do wonder whether it is worth spending so much time into. I have a dream, to one day play Charlie Brown Christmas for my family on the piano every Christmas. That would mean the world to me to be able to play through the book each season.  Shouldn't I be putting in more time into actualizing that dream if I were truly serious about it? And yet my laziness/ default to gaming often gets the better of me. Perhaps the difference in making dreams a reality is how often you get back into it, and not how often you give up on it. I feel a lot of patience growing in myself nowadays, in all spheres of my life. Any...
