“If you clean your room every day you never have to clean your room” that one neat freak aunt that I laughed at when I was younger but now I low key see the wisdom 👁️ 👁 👁️

sure why not

I thought this about myself and then I watch some old shit like Seven Samurai and I am sitting up straight eyes wide taking it all in.

But yeah, there’s no law against just not liking any of it.

1 screen it, or try to be ok missing things.

This is the most judgey comma I’ve seen in a while. Very well done

Oh I see it now. I’m just not used to them ever growing out before getting chipped or ruined somehow

What are the odds of a bird landing on your keys on a day when your nails are in perfect order are unbelievable

rofl “meme arrows”

I’m pretty sure they have other, worse reasons.

I also chuckled.

Just going to shamelessly paste this one for the memories

E: formatting EE: formatting EEE: more formatting??? EEEE: omg I don’t know how to fix this anyway you get the idea

Ah yeah that makes sense. I’m an eternal hobbyist with different creative things (art, games, stories, etc), so I get the challenge of just finishing something.

PS feel free to send me what you’ve got if you want a totally impartial “beta reader” or whatever that’s called

My interest only grows

This is my answer as well. It’s not at all because the world [building] is so compelling – there are better (well, crunchier) books out there for that – but the recurring characters and settings and themes, make this series a total comfort to go back to every few years. It’s like a warm blanket.

I’ve heard really good things about this serie. It’s in my “to be read” list for sure.

That’s cool. And if it continues to be useful / enjoyable to you, then you don’t necessarily need to “end” it ever, unless you really want to.

Excellent advice. I’ve sat down to write about a boring day, only to be shocked at the shit that was festering just below the surface. Like negative attitudes and resentment to people in my life, that would have just kind of hung around in the back of my head totally unknown and unacknowledged, but still there and unchallenged until I took a few minutes to consciously follow my own thoughts and feelings.

Anyway 10/10 would recommend the examined life.

Don’t try, just write in it whenever you feel like it: congratulations! You have a diary! That could be several times a day, or once a month, depending what you need and want out of your diary. But realistically if you’re just starting out it will probably be diary meta, like about the writing you’re doing in the diary lol.

For me I find it useful for

• jotting media reviews.
• nurturing my stationary fetish.
• an excuse to practice my cursive.
• relaxing at the end of the day, or week.
• reading over to gain insights into my moods (like how I was always sad after drinking)
• purging “negative” feelings (anger, insecurity, etc) - just get them out of my head and on to a page.

Anyway, here’s an example of me just talking about Quake 2 and having trouble focusing at work:

At the end of the day, I just like making marks on the page.

Ditched centralized social media and started a personal diary

What’s wrong? I mean aside from everything

wtf godless region do you live in?? Never heard of this kind of behaviour.
