#attention span issues

[nichyevosobachka]

days when the focus is like: writes two sentences -> switch tabs -> put on a video -> switch tabs -> write two words -> switch tabs -> get up and get a snack -> write a sentence -> and back to the video -> loop are so annoying :c I wanna get my reply doooone

I love when text is formatted to be in multiple little blocks.

Reading has become rather difficult for me. I was a bookish kid, but my attention span must have deteriorated as I got older and had to deal with more information, more words, more thoughts. Nowadays, pages full of uninterrupted text feel endless to me, endless and laborious and exhausting and difficult.

That's something I love about reading stories/books online/on my phone. The formatting is lighter and easier to me, and most of all:

Every little block of text that I read feels like a small achievement.

Day 767

The last few days I’ve had trouble focusing outside of work, and just getting distracted easily. This is not a surprise to be honest. It was the first week of the month at work and right after vacation too, so it was very busy with deadlines and being very busy with deadlines means I tend to be better focused.

It’s later on in the month that becomes a question.

But in my own personal life it has been too easy to get distracted by fanfiction, games or just doom scrolling on my social media platform of choice.

Yesterday was the worst because it has been a long while since I’ve taken forever and a day to get chores done. Frankly it was amazing that most of it got done yesterday at all.

Today though has been much better. I don’t know if that’s because I kicked myself out of my home to attend the game meet up and then walked around the Christmas Market (that I forgot that was happening today). Or maybe because today was actually a good weather day. You know it’s winter when you think 4C (39.2F) is balmy weather.

It was balmy weather, I could just wear the caplet, most of the snow had melted and I wasn’t at risk of falling (again).

Now that I have written that aloud, I realized the fall from Tuesday was probably what had sent me into a tizzy for the rest of the week. My knee is still sore (probably bruised) from that incident.

Whatever the case, I managed to come home, do chores, play only the game that I wanted to play, do two pages of journal setup, write this and still have a bit of time leftover. I also managed to use up enough energy that I will probably sleep like the dead tonight.

So hopefully, next week will be better.

i polled phannie zodiac signs and age ranges but i don’t think i’ve done birthday month.. can’t remember. if polls allowed more answer slots it would be fun to see birthday month and zodiac like whether people are december capricorn or january capricorn for example

i also think "police dogs are tools of police brutality" and "dogs are animals without ideas of ethics or morals that are acting according to their training" and "putting them in situations where they cause and/or sustain harm is also a welfare issue in addition to a human rights one" and also "maybe we have come to a point where sharp work for police dogs is no longer societally acceptable from either angle" is not an unnatural train of thought

A few recordings of words from a Lord and her guards whom finally get a chance to express their true thoughts and feelings through a man who is just willing to listen.

the problem with comics is that there are so many comics and it's very difficult for me to finish a run bc i get distracted by another interesting looking run (ooooo shiny). the fun thing about comics is that there are so many extremely shiny comics to read.

i sometimes feel like the community can give allos the wrong idea of what it is and feels like to be asexual or aromantic, and especially both.

like i feel when searching for perspectives you either find that being aroace is the greatest thing that ever happened it's so cool and swag or that's it's utterly miserable. when it's more then often both. it's a big package of good and bad.

it's part of you which means it's something so beautiful and powerful and right and wonderful and that's something to be proud of.

on the flip side as a romance favorable aroace person, it hurts like shit. i know that i won't feel like other people. i want to seek out a relationship but i know i'll never love them the way that they deserve and the way that any other person could love them because i will never feel romantically attracted to them. i feel the need to disclose this to people because i don't want to hurt them. i don't want to be a shitty person just for trying to find a relationship.

i've seen allos online claim how Easy it would be to be aroace. oh how they wish they were aroace no more crushes no more problems.

they don't realize that society is so romance and sex focused that you are forgotten and left to the side. and that even your own community might not support you if you aren't perfect. they fail to realize that people around you won't believe you or care. that society tricks you so you feel like you're missing out on things. being queer means that conservatives hates you and even if you don't feel attraction to anyone they still want you dead. like it is not all sunshine dragons and rainbows i swear to god.

also a completely different gripe but i will Kill the asexual extra free time jokes with my bare hands goodness gracious
