Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?
…that leads to more questions.
What is meant by “who you are”? Inherent qualities? If so, like what? Or does it refer instead to culture? Status?
Aside from all that, it’s both, simply put. Experience feeds into identity, which then directs experiences. They are part of a feedback loop and their impact is at once time dependent, shared and contextual.
It all depends. 😉
There is a chai made with green tea.
…
How did i not know of this beautiful, delightfully delicate concoction? This is simply heaven sent.
I’d still like to try traditional chai. I have to google that again…
But still…green chai?? This is amazing!!!
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
I don’t really have a favorite holiday; none of them mean what they used to. And this applies in general and to me personally.
I literally think of holidays as just another day. I don’t get excited or solemn like i used to. And it’s more than just growing up.
Modern society has drained the meaning and power of what these holidays represent.
Memorial Day, for example, used to be a serious day where you remember the fallen and support the vets still with us. Now, it’s a corporate free for all of ‘huge discounts’ on inflated prices, and is all about the bottom line.
Thanksgiving was about being grateful and setting differences aside. Now, it’s all about Black Friday Deals.
And for the record, there was never a peep about Christmas until santa appeared at the end of the Macy’s thanksgiving parade. Now, you start seeing or hearing about it in fucking October.
Everyone is in such a god damned rush to get to the next reason to spend money or get gifts or drink beer at a bbq, that we’ve forgotten about the things that actually give our lives meaning.
So yeah, not so big on holidays.
Have you ever been camping?
Does passing out in the grass next to a fire pit count?
If not, then no, not really. I’ve been to different campgrounds, but i always slept in a camper. To me, that’s kinda cheating and not truly ‘camping’. i see sleeping on the ground as a requirement for a real camping trip.
You can’t be established in any type of routine or complete any goal if you don’t even frickin start. It’s really that simple.
This is something that everyone knows; but Day One is hard. It’s scary, it’s awkward, it fumbles through things. So many people make excuses and push Day One off because they are ‘not ready’.
I’ll tell ya a secret… Nobody’s ever ready.
You are the only thing stopping you. The only thing blocking your path. And lyrics are fitting here…. “Move, bitch, get out the way!”
Get out of your own way and do the damn thing already!

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
Well… it was just last week, so i don’t know yet how it worked out. but i can let you know! 😉😝
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
I started living again.
I had a realization.
Random thoughts are not random at all. They are the eruptions of deeper levels of processing in the brain – the background shit. Something clicks, and boom! random thought.
they are the geysers of the mental and neurological realm.
This makes so much sense now….
i would just like to say that shaving my head was probably the most liberating thing i’ve ever done for myself. It’s fucking fabulous.
No bed head, no hat hair.
No shampoo, conditioner, or styling products.
No insane frizz, no forgetting hair ties, no trips to the salon.
I saved myself a ridiculous amount of time and a ridiculous amount of money.
And the best part?
i look good doing it.
*
20-30 minutes once a week.
Shaving cream.
and that’s it.
So i skipped breakfast today because i got up late, and would be home for lunch.
I wasn’t home for lunch. Because, life.
I am currently so hungry i feel like i could vomit.
Adulting sucks ass.
Can my inner child seek damages for false advertising? Can we get a class-action? Who wants in?
