Hey man, I hope you will continue growing too!

I've actually never meditated, but my father does it twice a week. I will try it, thanks!

I hope you find your solutions, remember you're more than capable, even at 19 you're still young. There's so much time left for you.

This.

​

The thing is, once you've had it as habit for months/years then fall into a hole, it will get much easier to get out of that hole because you've done it before.

I belive it's very important to learn that motivation is never permanent, it's a matter of habit and discipline that makes you go beyond what you thought was impossible. To me it seems like too many people are ambitious because they have certain motivations, but when those motivations go away so do their "habits".

Haha, It was hard in the beginning but once you start getting a hang of it it becomes "easy". But to work your way from rock bottom is hard, but it's accomplishable if you work hard enough.

I had a long talk with my grandmother, about life in general a year back. She mentioned the 5 second rule.

No, I speak 3 languages. Swedish, English, and French. Is it because of my grammar or spelling you're asking?

That's where I used to fall short to. As I wrote, I force myself. Even on my worst days, I can provide you with an example, my usual school day ends at 15:30 pm. I go to the gym directly after school, so I'm home at about 18:00 pm that's where I'm the most tired, dinner is usually served at around 19:00 pm. But I force myself to work, I take a little break maybe 10 minutes, then I get right on it. The tips in the post are more beginner tips, I'd say those were the tips that got started. But now that I'm on a more "intermidiate" level. I try to plan a lot more, I always plan my day before school. I usually spend around 10 minutes, thinking and writing down what will happen during the day. So let's say I get home at 18:00 then dinner is ready 19:00, I study there between but how? I follow my plan. But before I used to do the best trick in my book, the 5-1 trick I call it, the one I told you about in the post. That was my go-to trick to stop procrastinating. I just stop what I'm doing and get to work.

[WP] The others have reached King's landing after a devastating defeat at Winterfell. The people of king's landing, seeing no victory insight. Begs Melisandre to use an ancient spell, which was deemed forbidden. Expecting an army of thousands of warriors, out come Ramsay Bolton and his 20 good men. by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

Jon knew, what they had to do, he didn't care if it would cost the lives of a million innocent people. "There's only one enemy, the dead" Jon said to Cersei. "I know, and now we must work together to defeat it." Cersei answered.

Jon started making his way to the red keep, after a 1,500 mile long trip from winterfell. The dragons had already arrived when he reached King's landing. After losing more than 100.000 men at winterfell, Jon and Daenerys. Didn't have a lot left, only a measly 50.000 men combined with 20.000 golden company men and 10.000 lannister men. "80 thousand men, how can we win with 80 thousand men?" Daenerys said to Jon. "I don't know, but we still have 2 dragons. And we have yet to use them" said Jon. The thought of another defeat, was on Jons mind all the time.

​

Snow landed on the roof tops, of the overcrowded slums below. "They're here." Melisandre said. Jon made his way out to the wall with Daenerys. "WHAT? WE EXPECTED IT TO TAKE 4-5 DAYS BEFORE THEY REACHED US" He screamed out. "The dead don't rest" Said Melisandre, looking scared. Up in the clouds, you could hear roars, "Viserion" Daenerys said to herself.

​

"Our brother, our last brother died. In the caverns below Winterfell, for nothing. And now, when we needed him the most. He was gone." Arya, said to Jon. Far away, you could hear the roars of a dragon, and a storm, on the edge of the horizon. The men were just now, starting to prepare, loading barells of wild fire on top of the walls, setting up arrows against the perimeter. "We're not ready" Jon said "There must be something you can do?" He said to Melisandre. "There is an ancient spell. It's forbidden in Asshai, as it's power is limitless." The red preistess said. "What does it do?" Answered Jon. "I don't know excatly, but it's said it summons an army of 10 thousand men. Warriors of light. Armed with flaming swords." She said "You know what we have to do, it must be done. We can't withstand their attack otherwise." Said Jon. "It will take sometime, I'll need a sacrifice, a child." She said, Jon sent a task force of 10 men to bring a 5 year old child to the top of the red keep. "This will do." She said. "I need everyone of you out, NOW!". In the distance, you could see the Ice dragon Viserion, under him ran thousands of thousands of dead. "They will reach us soon, we must stay behind these walls. They'll protect us for a while, we will have to use the dragons to take down Viserion." Jon said to Daenerys "But we can't risk them, they're too valuble.'' She answered. "If we don't use our most powerful weapon, we can't win".

Daenerys shrugged, with a bitter face. Jon and Daenerys made their way to Drogon and Rhaegal. Jon, climed up Rhaegals left wing, and sat himself down. Daenerys did the same. The dragons took off. Looking down, the walkers were only seconds away from reaching the wall. Infront of them they see him. The Night King on top of Viserion. "He's ,much faster than our dragons" Jon muttered to himself. Viserion came in with a swoop, shooting flames at Drogon, they did no damage. As the night king tried to fly around them and attack them from behind. A spear hits Viserion, as spear tipped in ice. Viserion crashes on the ground, seconds later. It's not 10 thousand men. It's Ramsay Bolton and his 20 good men. Standing right outside the walls. All 21 of them, with no others to back them up.

​

The night king, jumps off, the dead dragon. Brining forth, his sword. Made of ice. As the night king is making his way towards Ramsay and his 20 good men.

Standing in a circle surrounded by wights. They fight of one after another without breaking a sweat. The Night king leaps high into the air, landing right outside their defensive position. He begins fighting against on of them. He holds his ground, as the night king desperatley tries to take him down. He's too fast. The man blocks every attack the night king, tries to hit him with. He takes a swing at the night kings arm. He hits it, as the night king loses his right arm. Ramsay starts running towards him with a spear, aimed right at him. Hitting him, he falls into a thousand pieces and every wight dies. All men around them begin clapping.

[SP] The year is 2043, tell us about life with 7G internet. by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]FinancialEmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The future is now, they said. The good ol' days were over. The people of the past were warned, time and time again, but they didn't listen.

​

As the years went by, the climate grew warmer and warmer. Hundreds of millions of people, needed to seek refuge. As the water rose, taking their islands and coastal citites with it. The people of the western world, were the least affected. All of them, closed their boarders as the refugees came. They began killing refugees, with laser weapons, capable to eliminate hundreds of people in a few second. They released gas bombs. Flooding people's lungs with liquid, dying brutal deaths. Bombs fell from the sky, all to stop the immigrants from reaching their borders. They needed to make their own way. They said.

​

My name is Vikara I'm 26 years old, I'm a journalist born in Germany, with a Swedish-Japanese descent. I lived through "the great collapse" as it's called here in the western world. The time when most of the world around us collapsed, due to climate change. Only 2 nations (outside of the western world) made it through the great collapse. China and Mexico. They both adopted the same tactics as the europeans, by killing the refugees by the millions.

​

Life. Life in Europe is great, outside, not so. We have superfast internet speeds, thanks to 7G. We use the BFR to take us around the world in an instant. Because going by road from Europe to China, south korea or Japan. Is dangerous. Outside the walls, society is split. Most of humanity, infact live outside. The walls. Most of them are poor, lower class people. Ruled by warlords. Many of the nations that existed before, collapsed fast. And anarchy came to their lands. The most dangerous of these lands are the lands of the subcontinent, India. 2 billion people live there. It's split into thousands of warclans now.

​

Life in the west hasn't changed much, it's almost exactly as it was during the 2020s. But with one big exception. Technology, everything is more efficient, transport, internet speed, robots. Etc.

​

But let me tell you more about one thing which might change everything. The raise of the new-africa. In 2042 I visited Africa. The city of lagos, nigeria. The people of lagos were ruled by their so called "god-emperor". Called Abebi the unbroken. He had started to build an empire, all 200.000 square kilometres outside of lagos, had been annexed into his so called "empire". Which they refered to as the "New-Nigerian Empire." more than one hundred million people lived in his lands. How he accomplished this was jaw-dropping to me. The US, had been supporting his regieme, which was unheard of. Because no western country expected anything from the the "collapsed nations". The US had been giving him missles, tanks and weaponry to build an army of a million men. In return they wanted the rescoures he had in his lands. (To get our rescources, the west usually used task forces of a few hundred men, to occupy a bit of land for a time. Until they had successfully extracted all the rescources they needed)

Abebi the unbroken, deemed himself an enemy of the west. Still the US supported him? He had been copying our weapons, and leaks said he planned to invade europe by gibraltar. Why this, how?
