sometimes i help people with mental health stuff only to realise that i don’t hold myself to the same standards

me: you need to take it easy on yourself. it’s not the end of the world

also me: hasn’t taken it easy on self for 10 years. always feels like the end of the world

make it make sense

kicked off the blog with a little something.

it’s meant to feel like a “lightly edited journal entry” —

feels high roi to build a presence here. past few days are a good reminder of how bad things can get on the other site.

the pendulum has started to swing this way… ever so slightly

dune prophecy series could’ve been a lot better.

double negatives are going to be the death of me — weasel words that convey meaning

feelings are like raw feedback signals.

unfortunately most of us don’t know how to parse them, so we believe feelings cannot be trusted.

the raw feeling is physical — it has no meaning, but it is very real.

i think a lot of self-development is just to make sure you don’t grow into the “grumpy old man that yells at the clouds” — everything else works itself out

prodigies and savants don’t impress me anymore — show me people who lose to their demons every day, shrug it off, and keep going.

psa occasionally i will make posts that are better suited for 18 or 20 year old me.

to me they feel like “word vomits” — i say and feel things that are suppressed and should have come out many years ago.

the plan is to limit most of this to the blog, but expect spillover.

i very recently learned that you are allowed to reframe your past narratives.

like maybe my school years were difficult;
maybe my only friends weren’t good people;
maybe i’m not unlovable;
maybe my family did have unrealistic expectations;
maybe i am burnt out.

you can just rewrite your own story.

funny how japan not only cratered their own birthrate, but also took everyone else down with them

how does one know if they are on the other side of this?

i think i am, but can’t say for sure

in an alternate universe, desi hip hop achieved the same success that kpop did
December 10, 2024 at 4:00 PM
been listening to desi hip hop for a while now and i’m surprised at how many artists lack “aura” — they just don’t look like superstars

everyone needs to seriously up their game if they want to compete with the likes of kendrick and travis

bsky should add a profile badge for inactive accounts

makes it easier to find active users without manually checking each profile

the free account experience on the other site is deplorable. i can’t follow, reply, like or even view posts due to obscure restrictions and rate limits. my account was randomly suspended yesterday

it’s hostile architecture but for software — they force you to either pay or leave

press: “how did you recover from such a crushing defeat”

ding: “slept earlier, had a coffee and some snacks”

you love to see it — real warrior in a sheep’s clothing if i’ve ever seen one
December 9, 2024 at 1:25 PM
okay also created an account on the other site. same username @\melangereverie

will keep cross-posting until i’m sure they won’t suspend it again.
