The Art of Blooming in Your Own Time 🌸

“Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than to spend your life in the wrong room”

There’s this quiet pressure we carry—like we’re supposed to have it all figured out by a certain age. Go to school. Pick a path. Stick to it. Be successful. Be impressive. Be “on time.”

But what happens when life doesn’t follow the script?

That’s what I ran into during my first experience with college. I went in so sure of myself. I was majoring in criminal justice, planning to become a lawyer. I had it all mapped out—four years of undergrad, then law school, then a career. I was proud of having a plan. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who switched majors halfway through. That wasn’t going to be me… until it was.

By my second semester, something in me shifted. I realized: I don’t want this anymore. And I didn’t know what I wanted instead.

That unraveling felt like failure. Like shame. Like I was lost.

I had built so much of my identity around this idea of who I was supposed to become—and letting go of that felt like letting go of the version of me I thought would make everyone proud. But here’s the thing: the people who loved me weren’t disappointed in me for changing paths—they were only disappointed I hadn’t told them sooner.

That was such a turning point. To realize I had a support system who wanted me to chase my happiness—not theirs. That reminder helped shift everything. Because no one tells you this part: so many people change their paths. Over and over. And that’s okay.

When You Feel Behind

Even after stepping away from that path, the feeling of being behind lingered. I looked around and saw people my age who seemed so sure of themselves. They had careers. Direction. Clarity. And I felt like I was stuck at the start, questioning everything.

And that’s when the comparison set in.

You’ve probably heard the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy.” It is. Deeply. It strips away the beauty of your own timeline by convincing you you’re late. But here’s what I’ve realized: most people are just figuring it out as they go—even the ones who look put together on the outside.

Social media doesn’t show the confusion, the tears, the uncertainty. It just shows the highlight reel.

So if you’re in a space where you’re comparing your progress to someone else’s—pause. Come back to your path. Your timeline. Your story.

What Blooming Means to Me Now

Today, blooming feels like doing things because I want to—not because I feel pressured to “catch up.” It means allowing myself to grow, shift, pivot, and change, as many times as I need to.

It means doing things that light me up. Surrounding myself with what brings joy. Nourishing my mind so that ideas flow freely. And giving myself grace when things don’t happen as quickly as I hoped.

When I’m good mentally, I thrive creatively. I get clarity. I become more open to who I want to be. That’s what blooming feels like—it’s not about having it all figured out. It’s about having the space to become.

If You’re Feeling Behind… Read This

You are not late.

You haven’t missed your moment.

This isn’t a race—it’s your journey. Your process. Your path. And it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Give yourself permission to figure it out. To take your time. To shift. To start over. To try something completely new. And to believe—not just that you can do what you dream of—but that you will.

You are allowed to bloom in your own time.

Let’s Talk:

Have you ever felt like you were behind in life? What helped you shift your mindset or what are you still learning to let go of? Drop a comment, I’d love to hear from you! ☺️

What?

And no.

Tried to draw the thron crown of Christ and the nails that they used to crucify him.

Amen to our Father in Heaven, who died for our sins.🙌🙏

@hantengudelulu @virtuousweakling , this gives off the clones so good.

Monster lover that gets personally offended when they ask you to sit on their face and you hover.

When you say you just don’t want to crush them, it just makes it worse.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN CRUSH ME? YOU THINK I AM FRAGILE AND WEAK?!?!”

After using their strong arms to pull you down onto their face they make you gush on their tongue. They then spend the next few hours showing you just how strong they are by holding you in their arms and bouncing you up and down on their cock, manhandling you into any position they want, and making you take everything they give you.

By the end you are exhausted and on the brink of passing out and they are still muttering under their breath about a human insinuating that they are weak.

This is still how I see him, like, I can't picture anything else that could fit him better than this. He still looks like a child, but it's just the same as the others, and I can't take him seriously like that, which I know is dangerous, but just look....

Hantengu's wife would probably just baby him in a way of affection and he just going: "Well, it's not what I obviously deserve and should have, but only that way I get more attention, so it's a win/loss situation"

The sunsets are from me and the two forest/nature ones belongs to the photographer that took them and the one who had them first!!

Amazing sights really.

Love it

Muzan, speaking to the Upper Moons: Today is the day we reveal to Japan the existence of the League of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United for Frightening Investments in Naughtiness! Kokushibo: You want us to be called L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.?

With Hantengu (small form)

And Zohakuten.

𖦹 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬' 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𖦹

Since the design material collection books finally arrived, I was able to scan some of the pages and visualize the demon's heights. Some of them are officially stated while for others, I had to approximate based on comparison. Explanation for each of those is stated below.

First of are Muzan (179 cm), Kokushibo (190 cm), Doma (187 cm) and Akaza (173 cm). Their heights are all officially stated in the Demon Corps Records.

Next are Hantengu (166 cm), Gyokko (between 150 and 170 cm in his vase), Daki (~ 178 cm) and Gyutaro (~ 190 cm). The later two don't have an official height mentioned but the size of the head is a good measure to compare the characters in the official designs. Daki is of course taller because of her shoes, while in the anime, Gyutaro is hunched over a lot. But from the image of the design material from the Entertainment District Arc which I've used, you can see what his height is standing straight, or at least as straight as physically possible for him.

I'd like to add that while Gyokko's height is known, if you go based off the official art, he can be taller than 170 cm, depending on how straight he positions himself and how far he comes out of his vase.

Hantengu's clones

Looking at the clones next, you can see Zohakuten (~ 165 cm) and first-split Sekido and Karaku (~ 190 cm). Zohakuten's height is more or less official since we are shown the direct comparison with Tanjiro. The other two were again compared with the head sizes and proportions.

Second-split Sekido and Karaku as well as Aizetsu and Urogi are generally the same size (~ 190 cm) since their proportions don't really change. However, Urogi's anatomy generally affects his height, but not too much as when he's standing on his legs, his hips would be around the same height as the others'.

The smallest of the clones is the main body / fear clone (~ 19 cm). The tallest being Urami (~ 260 cm) who is seen directly next to Tanjiro in the design material.

Gyokko's height when morphed

Morphed / true-form Gyokko (~ 215 cm) is directly compared to Muichiro whose height is known (160 cm), making a visualization of his size easy.

(An approximation of his tail length may follow.)

Ranking

From tallest to smallest, Muzan and the upper moons as well as their other forms can be ranked as followed:

Urami - 260 cm

Morphed Gyokko - 215 cm

Kokushibo ︱ Sekido, Karaku, Aizetsu and Urogi ︱ Gyutaro - 190 cm

Doma - 187 cm

Muzan - 179 cm

Daki - 178 cm

Akaza - 173 cm

Hantengu - 166 cm
