Ironically, the things in life that are worth the most, canโt be assigned a price. Love/passion, talent, knowledge, health, memories/ experiences, friends, family, and legacy. When you stop to contemplate your existence, you will discover that each one of our lives are ENRICHED..
โI hate Valentineโs Day because Iโm single, itโs so commercialized, blah blah blahโ
Skill issue.
Celebrate your friends. Bring your coworkers treats. Call your mom. Cook for yourself. Quit undervaluing platonic love and then wondering why you donโt have more of it in your life.
You can love someone and admit their faults. You can love yourself and admit your faults. You can critisize a country and still love it. You can protest an administration and still believe in it. The most un American thing, the most un patriotic thing you could do in any country is support every and anything they do without fault. People choose to speak up BECAUSE they love their home. It is not hate. It's anger at your parent doing wrong, knowing they can do better. ๐ค
Gaming has helped me in more ways than people realize. Storytelling, problem solving, community, comfort, inspiration. A lot of my creative work is literally inspired by games. Calling it a waste of time is just not understanding what it can give people.
Shouldnโt have been filming! Shouldnโt have been defending yourself! Shouldnโt have protested per your right! Shouldnโt have used free speech! Shouldnโt have been carrying as per your right! Shouldnโt have exercised any of your rights! A true American does nothing!
I just need to keep reminding myself that I donโt hate the Dodgers. I hate all the other owners for normalizing an unwillingness to commit to winning on the same level as the Dodgers have.
The Dodgers were, quite literally, an inch or so away from not winning the World Series in 2025.
Stop with the dramatic narrative - they are not ruining baseball. They are simply setting the benchmark on how an organization should operate. Others need to step up.
Kudos to them.
โThe fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.โ
โ Bertrand Russell
Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth but still believing the lies.
And that is more infectious than any other disease.
โProfessor Richard Feynman
i realized that a lot of adults are healing their inner child and that's one of the reasons why i don't make fun of people who have "childish" hobbies. Some people didn't get to have a childhood until they became adults.
People donโt realize that you can actually push someone so far that they no longer want anything to do with you anymore. This applies to friendships, relationships, or even family. Sometimes, people assume that because you love them, whether as a friend, partner, or family member you will continue to tolerate anything, disrespect, neglect, hurtful actions , lack of effort, or emotional stress.
Everyone has limits, and there is only so much one person can take before they choose peace over connection.
Even the most patient, kind-hearted person can reach their breaking point. When someone continuously feels unappreciated, misunderstood, or mistreated, they can reach a place where they emotionally disconnect. And once someone emotionally disconnects, it is very hard to repair that relationship.
