Big mistake to go into a career that is 50% reading contracts, when sometimes, the very sight of a contract makes me physically ill.

How did you get so articulate with your opinions? It feels so difficult to me to have a brodaer understanding on a subject and be able to then also have an opinion on it that goes further than simply a few words

I went through a period of intense suppression of feelings and thoughts when I was younger. It was really hard to cope w my feelings in response to practically anything, so I would escape mainly through reading books. That was a lucky accident, bc anyone knows that reading allows you to expand both your writing capabilities and your empathy, especially if you do it on a frequent basis (which I did). I also practiced writing a lot when I was younger, so that covers the technical side of putting thought to words.

I became really intentional about understanding what my thoughts on matters were. It was suffocating feeling like I couldn’t think for myself. And so I started journaling on a daily basis to get everything down, even if it was messy. This blog is a major factor too. I don’t like the idea of having a “brand,” but anyone who’s followed me for a while knows I share my opinions & feelings on things a lot on here. I’ve been doing that for almost 2 years now. That has refined my ability to convey my opinions in a more articulate way. I also get a lot of thought-provoking asks, and I’ve been blessed w super intelligent followers who offer viewpoints I’ve never even thought of. Essentially this blog has been a big help when it comes to discussing opinions & understanding what I truly stand for.

The bottom line is you have to be intentional. Intentional about gauging your feelings, your views, your beliefs, and your values. Research topics and make sure to be exposed to opposing opinions. If you find that you can’t articulate in the technical sense—aka as far as writing them goes—I suggest reading more, whether it be reading more articles, thinkpieces, books, whatever. That has helped my articulation so much

I'll patiently wait for the fics about the Super Mario Bros Movie despicting Mario's aftermath of the whole ordeal, with the adrenaline wearing off and he processing all that happened. How close Luigi's death was if he didn't save him at the last minute, how much he was beaten up badly by everyone and how almost scorched himself (and Luigi) at the end. Knowing that everything came to be by being stubborn. Then coming to terms with not only his new separation anxiety, ptsd, and broken bones and bruises but with the realization that "Holy shit, all that happened in less than 48 hours."

I know some of you have him as your little skrunkly, blorbo, little fella and also adore and seek angst and whump like maniacs who finds pure pleasure and happinness in putting your favorite character through hell and back, twice even. Then, shall you all enjoy this and write your hearts content. ❤

i probably have a cold :( at least i know its not covid cuz i got it from my mom and she got tested

I don't usually go out of my way to talk about projects from the actors in Snowpiercer but I started listening to Daveed's band clipping. again and if you like industrial music or rap music you should definitely check them out! I'm partial to Visions of Bodies Being Burned and There Existed An Addiction To Blood and those are easily my favourite albums for when I'm driving.

i've previously gone insane over NFC stuff and 2D barcodes (amiibo tech and QR code tech, basically) so now i have a plethora of leftover knowledge and also a few nfc tags i never got around to giving a purpose.

this is your reminder that if I don’t follow you on tumblr I still love you.

i think this website may be allergic to the idea that most medications aren't for neurological stuff

i have a headache and have no energy to do anything.... does anyone have any good metal recs

sometimes i see posts where i think That Doesn't Sound Right But I Don't Know Enough About Neurobiology to Dispute It

hey. don't let go of media just because you're older than the target audience. my dad is 61 and watches the cartoons he loved as a kid.

BUT

consume media meant for your age group, too. you might find something you like and, more importantly, your brain needs to consume morals and lessons beyond what stories aimed at kids can provide.

you don't have to grow out of your favorite things but you do have to grow into new things. that is all

hi just stopping by to tell you all that i love esteban. he is an extremely talented driver and is the only good thing happening with alpine at the minute. he is literally one of the most overlooked drivers on the grid consistently putting in a good performance and he deserves so much more recognition of his talent.

i admire everyone that has been mentally ill over a source for over a year because my brain is absolutely incapable of staying on a source for more than 7 months

brain is doing...a thing? meds are.....good?
