it’s a beautiful thing when you throw jokes like these to your future self, this is some time in the past, my past self (my present self)—damn this is really past me, this is me, i’m here, speaking to you from the past, word vomit that looks back to you many years from now, do you recognize when you were this exact person? or are these just distant memories of someone you never knew.
thing about old friends is most of them, especially after long jumps in time, love a version of me that no longer exists; this person they care so much about only exists in their head, this further dilutes.
ever seen a successful person and be like “damn, so that’s all it took” meanwhile you’re trying to master the entire craft in your head for years without putting out any tangible work.
so much stuff can be done in the background; focusing on that is equally as important as the flashy stuff, it feels more like a very solid foundation, less of a facade.
it’s okay to keep people’s opinions off stuff because depending on your brain type, you will think of that opinion everytime you see/experience that thing, good or bad—is it worth the corrupted experience you already enjoy without thus opinions?
in a conversation there’s a lot that will go unheard if there isn’t an actively listening party, expressing this vast unique experience as words is hard enough, acknowledging everyone is not aware of this crafting process done by their mind, or care about it. It’s important to remember when someone shares their thoughts, a lot of the time, it’s like they are introducing you into their world at that point in time, now unless their train of thought is cut, theres little that will make them pause and look at you unless they detect you see a bit of this world they’ve painted for you with their words, body movements, actions.
life is a game and there are too many good players stuck at their favorite level.
you’re not that important, learn to shut off the world (if your current situation allows), do the work, and come back. Repeat. Never lose yourself in the world because a lot of the results come from the work you did when you shut off the world, that should be a warning to avoid failure - note to self
you have to call yourself out of daydreaming, yes if you’re day dreaming to see what does not exist, but you aim to reach out into this void and grab that thing, at some point you have to come out of the void, it has to exist. If you spend time with it in your head, remember, time does not pass when you are in your mind, real time flies past. and the thing you spend time with in your head, is still not real. It does not exist.
content on the internet is so optimized now, “unoptimized” seems to stand out more to me. Probably a good or bad thing depending on perspective.
