Only those who stay Dead shall remember Death.

Recently, I (Lana) discovered that when rearranged, the letters in my name spell torn loyal tea. I think it's cool and rather telling. Ever since, I've grown slightly convinced that much of my life consists of a tragic array of conflicted interests.

That said, I should warn you I'm one of those hopeless wrecks trying to quench an insatiable boredom. However, this isn't the means, it's simply the outlet.

For anything you'd like to know, either ask or pay attention.

Questions are always welcome. Submissions (of anything, really) are much loved, too!

moosevox asked: Do you think occasional failure is necessary for being sensible?

I very much think so. In the same way a little sadness is useful for appreciating happiness—a little failure is necessary for reminding us that things don’t always go marvelously and perfection doesn’t actually exist. I don’t think people should aim to fail, and I don’t think failure is something you should settle for but, it keeps you grounded. When something goes wrong, you learn to take a deep breath, assess the situation, and avoid that mistake for future reference. People who are unaccustomed to failure have unrealistic expectations. In small dosages (because too much leaves you hopeless), it makes you reasonable and often helps to redirect your energy and focus. A lot of good has sprouted out of the occasional mishap. It should be considered a motivator rather than an obstruction.
