The Moon and what's right in front of us

 A random thought I wished to put out into the universe as I sit here on a 13 hour flight to Tokyo:

I was once told that for a business to succeed it must have a "North Star" to guide it. I don't think that thought process was grounded, objective or wise. Sure, you need guiding principles and a voice to siren call your people to follow you but why search for a star so far, far away when the big, beautiful, silver moon exists for us so close by? She's so powerful; Her phases affecting our oceans and our very lives through astrology. The Moon takes the raw, burning, sometimes harmful energy of the sun and translates it to a beautiful reflection that lets the Earth rest and recover at night.

Chasing after stars means you'll end up wandering aimlessly in space, perhaps forever doomed trying to  lust after something unattainable.

Anyway, just a sky-thought.

This is where I am at with my pupper stylizations tonight.

Lots of drivel.

I really don't care for recording myself in a video stream, too much work.
Screenshotting and documenting my thoughts in written words, now that's my language. 🤌

Games Study & Thoughts

Gatekeeping game psychology behind secrets or a $ sign is dumb.

More fun games you make = more fun games for me to play and vice versa, so here is some shit I've noted that I feel is muy importanto while hard core diving into Roblox gameplay study imo the best and only way -  kinesthetically.

If you're a passionate creative looking for ideas and words to help perhaps shape your own direction from that of a possibly insane, over cooked fellow creative, I would love for you to read further.

If you represent a soul-sucking corporation looking to feed off of the blood of the creative and experienced, please fuck all the way off until the end of time.💙

Hi

Hey, I'm Rachel.

Some people know me as Kalia or Bugtrot or Trotswithbugs but under the hood I'm Rachel, an artist a bit too over seasoned who is ready to make something special of her own. I hope to make this blog into a chronicle of my adventures, lessons, strides and struggles for anyone and everyone who might find it interesting or funny. 

I live in Eastern, PA with my big white dog, small brown cat, cute noodle-come-alive snake, favorite son and loving husband. It's a busy life but one full of wonder, fun, imagination, nature and never knowing what will come next. 

And now, I need some self-empowerment.

This is my adventure journal as I dive into the next chapter of creativity - making games I hope to deliver ungodly amounts of serotonin directly into your brain meat with. I'll be starting with a game I've dreamt of only a short while but has been developing like a crystal in my heart for so long it's ready to break out of the geode. Here's hoping Roblox likes puppies.

I'll be back here with more soon. 💙

- Rachel
