@shotgroupT @BrianEly357@kobebryant There clearly are no lanes in this country so quit trying to push people into them when their voice makes you uncomfortable
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
Just learned about the existence of WikiRug. There’s a map of regional rug patterns of Iran where clicking on each province directs you to a dedicated page about that particular rug.
And like Miley Cyrus said:
“I didn’t talk badly about you—I talked about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.”
A Harvard neurologist once told her class something that made half the room laugh, until she showed the scans.
"People who cry easily," she said,"have a faster emotional-processing loop than the general population."
Their mirror-neuron system fires quicker, their insula lights up more intensely, and their brain decodes micro-signals before others even register them.
What looks like "sensitivity" is actually hyper-efficient pattern recognition.
I saw something on Tiktok that said, "Nobody isolates more than the oldest daughter who knows nobody is coming to save her". & Tbh immediately I teared up.
Then to add to it, I go to the comments and saw "isolation, extreme independence, the need to accomplish everything but never feeling like you've accomplished enough".
& That hit deep
I think ppl truly underestimate how hard it is for two human beings, to do LIFE together. The amount of effort, compromise, understanding, trust, loyalty, honesty, resilience, love, care etc, etc, that it takes. You have to CHOOSE that person every single day.
