I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
I just saw a post that said Autistic/Adhd people tend to overshare because they feel they are more tolerable with context… and I’ll just be over here processing that.
numa fase minha MUITO deprimida, eu tive uma amiga que ia na minha casa todos os dias abrir a minha janela. passava no sacolão depois de sair do trabalho e me levava uma fruta. todo dia.
acho que eles devem ser um dos únicos casais de famosos que eu admiro muito e acredito 100% no amor e na lealdade deles. essa criança tem sorte de ter eles como os pais
AUTISTIC TRAITS THAT AREN’T TALKED ABOUT AS MUCH
OVER EXPLAINING, FINDING IT HARD TO LIE, INSOMNIA, REWATCH THE SAME SHOW MULTIPLE TIMES, DISLIKE BEING PERCEIVED BY OTHERS, A STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE.
ADHD is remembering a birthday a week in advance, forgetting on the actual day, feeling too much shame to text, buying a late gift, never mailing it, and letting the guilt haunt you for a decade
@strawbsxjonas Real ones remember her and her mom from the early Jonas documentaries and show she and her mom traveled with the Jonases as Mr. Jonas promised to take care of them after Maya’s father (Paul Jonas’s close friend) passed away
A HARVARD psychologist says: “if you’ve achieved nothing by 25, you’ve avoided the most destructive illusion of youth”
> In 2021, a Harvard psychologist surprised a lecture hall with an unexpected statement:
“If you haven’t accomplished much by 25, you may have escaped one of youth’s biggest illusions.”
At first, the room laughed.
She wasn’t kidding.
> The illusion of early success.
In your early 20s, the brain seeks quick proof of worth ~status, attention, rapid achievements.
But psychologists warn that chasing recognition too soon can lock people into roles or paths they never consciously chose.
They decide too early… and spend years trying to undo it.
> The exploration phase.
Research on career development suggests that people who explore more before 30 often build stronger long-term directions.
Testing ideas.
Making mistakes in public.
Changing course.
At 25 it looks like confusion ….but by 35 it often turns into clarity.
People who feel “behind” in their mid-20s frequently gain something others miss:
Perspective.
Patience.
And a clearer sense of what truly matters to them.
That foundation often leads to better decisions later on.
At the end of the lecture, the psychologist left the students with one final thought:
“You’re not meant to have life fully figured out at 25.”
“You’re meant to discover who you’re not.”
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
