Seeing Over the Hill - Exciting Stage of My Journey

Up to now, I have been wondering if I am ever going to reap the rewards of this work, learning the tools, identifying the platforms and testing some slide decks in Canva with voiceover recordings. What topic ought I to start with? There are so many to choose from. Thanks to a monthly co-working programme called TVR led by Mel Larsen – here is a “day pass” to try a 10am to 5pm Zoom session for…

Happy one year anniversary to In Stars and Time!

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.

If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!

decided to join in on @quezify’s eggtober again this year as a little art warmup and I actually ended up really enjoying it!! it’s obviously way outside of my usual comfort zone so I’m very happy that I was able to create an end result that I’m proud of :)

I love my little guy so much.

If they were in a university setting, what do you think the characters would be studying?

Soap definitely being a chemistry major, maybe also having a particular interest in astronomy. Physically a meathead but in mind and soul he's a nerd. Has glow in the dark plastic stars and planets on his walls and ceilings along with pictures of galaxies. Cried when the first picture of a black hole was taken. "SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL."

Price is a history major, specializes in wars and military. Was the kid that knew all the "fun facts" about WWI and WWII. He enjoys the unknown details of them. "Did you know in-" is the sign you should leave the room. Has too many history books in his room, and yes he's read them all and then some.

Gaz being a psychology major. Obsessed with thrillers and suspense films, analyzes people in real life (but only in private with his friends). He's interested in having a career in law enforcement and criminal psychology. Is very good at reading people when he isn't trying. Unofficial therapist in his friend group.

Ghost is a literature major. Good with his words (when he wants to be) and is considered a brilliant mind when he tries. Spends his spare time working out and in the library. Claims to not have a favorite author but does have a favorite genre: Romantic Dramas. He isn't shameful about it, he's openly proud of being a romantic at heart. Never mind his favorite story elements being murder and kidnapping.

love the idea of the Avengers adding new members but being stingy about rooms so the OG Avengers each get their own but Bucky and Loki are forced to share one under the guise of it being 'healthy interaction'

-the hand that feeds for martyn???? i haven't watched his povs but based on what i've heard it seems correct up to his win

i was wondering when tower unite would go on sale again so i can convince more people to get it and play it with me and then a few minutes later i got a notification saying that it's currently part of a humble bundle! so if you've been interested in tower unite, you can get it (for a minimum of $16) and these 6 other games at a discount

also i should say for those who don't know, "multiple minigames supporting up to 16 players online" is only one of many features and a huge understatement of the amount of things you can do in it. it's a social, arcade, and sandbox game all in one, with tons of customization options for your condos (including the option to upload or use workshop furniture. you even get a nice free starter condo!), avatar (you can upload or use any model on the game's workshop and equip accessories to it), and even the ability to build custom maps for any of its game modes!

and speaking of accessories, the halloween event starts in just a few days and the accessories are my personal favorite part of that (tho there'll also be lots of activities and things to collect in the plaza), so if you like avatar customization, you won't wanna miss out on those anyway. get tower unite. i've been a regular player for years and i love it, and there's also no microtransactions, every item in it is bought with in-game currency you earn by just playing games, earning achievements, ranking up in games or hangout areas (which you can do even just by spending enough time in those, skill is not an issue), and some items are unlockable by meeting EXP milestones so come goof around and play minigames with me and i can give you a tour and maybe show you some stuff i made lmao
