Love 58. Lately I've been making "bad decisions" (small things) on purpose just to try to familiarize myself with healthy ways of coping in those moments. I used to panic more, usually now I'm able to tell myself it will all work out in the end. Also, I'd love to see an eavesdropping/quotes page.
had a conversation about this today (lol), there are very few decisions you can make that will actually ruin your life forever, being stuck in decision paralysis and not doing anything as a result is usually worse for you than any mistake you can feasibly make (lotta modifiers needed to make sure nobody reads this and decides to rob a bank)(normal fear)
basically all of my friends seem to be struggling with this - even me to an extent - we just sit around Not Doing Anything, because we forgot, and then it's too late so we hope someone else will fix it for us. instead of owning up and actually fixing it ourselves huhuhghgahghhg. running away
Re: 59. I hate how people want you to turn your favourite things into a side hustle. It was so hard unlearning that (i'm still having trouble with it) and just creating things for the sake of creation. I refuse to sacrifice my passions on the altar of capitalism!
re:59 the thing about running a small business is that while it can be very fulfilling to work for yourself it generally becomes more of a full-time job than a regular full-time job would be, also yeah sometimes you just straight up don't want to, there's no getting around it work is work no matter what
"five year plan??" wait what actually is that?? is that a thing?? also yeah i hate the "you should sell your art" thing. it's annoying because it's implying i think it's morally okay to sell art. at this point i don't think it is - because art is inherintly part of speech/communication. it's like trying to sell an emotion or a word. you shouldn't do this
@niicespiice, re: "five year plan," or rather, I'm asked, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and I'm like, "I dunno???? I don't even know where I see myself tomorrow!!"
I think it'd be kind of funny to have a page full of conversations and quotes I eavesdropped on. Some people say the strangest things lol 😭
