iβm trying to learn how to play the piano again after maybe 7 years, and it is extremely mentally exhausting for me.
maybe i havenβt worked out my brain in a long while.
documented some of the more unconventional part-time/temporary jobs i've had, and how they impacted me: i.e. clinic assistant, insurance claims assistant, manga rental shop assistant:
wrote about how i belatedly realised the availability of my phone and the speed it enables negatively impacted my capacity to tolerate slowness, and how as i age i realised there is a different dimension of gratification that I want to seek, the sort of gratification that is the outcome of going slow and long:
i have always wanted to keep notes but had struggled with it until I started to be okay with taking imperfect notes and storing them imperfectly β i call it my second subconscious instead of second brain:
today i questioned what is the point of online publishing for me while in the process of publishing a photoessay so i wrote about it (it may sound cynical so don't click if you're allergic to that sort of thing):
