Oh, and since I finally managed to log back in:
If my BW Hobbit friends find me here, this is not a place to follow or talk to me. If we meet, we are probably both on the BW Discord.
Here's hoping September will be as fun as possible
Reached HR32 this morning in Monster Hunter Now (was 28 yesterday), but am completely stuck on Chapter 10 and that 5-star Paolumu. Desperate for multiple Dragonite ores to upgrade weapon and armour.
friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments or discovery, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.
I have received the message that my joy comes at a cost to everyone else. My happiness is something I do to others.
So I have learned to always keep my emotional barometer just slightly inside of the depressed range.
Joy means that the mechanism for monitoring/policing yourself for the comfort of others no longer takes priority.
And when being yourself is so often a "wrong" way to be, being yourself without surveilling/"mitigating" yourself can feel perilous.
To feel joy, you have to be in yourself and in the moment. You're not worried about how you appear to others. You can't be both hypercritical of your existence while also reveling in it.
Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/
