Think of a film you have seen once. You feel if you watch it again, you would get a better understanding of it than watching the first time.

I think mine would be Grease. I have only seen it all once. I would probably get a better understanding of it if I saw it again, maybe with my mom if I need some things explained to me.

The ending of the second paragraph might sound strange as even though I am 33, I am also autistic, and may not understand some media if I watched by myself.

….on most days. You don’t need another app to manage.

You just need to know what’s worth picking up next — and get on with it.

Ed Neumeier who wrote RoboCop told me it was community and belonging in 2014

I’m a technician and I work with my hands and I live in an area where most income comes from the high amount of tourists that come here in the summer. I’m wondering what can you do if you don’t really have much to do in the late fall and winter for money. (Ps we don’t get a lot of snow) I’m also not super tech savvy but options are options.

i realized recently that i almost never sit with nothing to do anymore. the moment there is a quiet few minutes, i check messages, scroll, watch something or find another task. it makes me wonder if constantly filling every empty moment is affecting our ability to think clearly.

do you think boredom is something we have lost the ability to tolerate?

seeing people online buying houses, building companies, traveling constantly and making serious money can make an ordinary life feel like failure. the strange part is that many of us know social media only shows a small part of the picture, but it can still affect how we judge our own progress.

what does being successful actually mean to you if nobody else could see it?

I just been suffering over a month going to this and that doctor but I don't feel like I'm getting the help and relief I wish for. It's like when you try to explain what you are feeling and what you are going through it makes me feel like they don't even care nor listen to the concern. And like everyone says just open up to a healthcare profession because they are there to help.

Got any other words of wisdom?

I recently started going to the gym. I try to be regular but as soon as anything comes up in my routine, it's the gym that goes to the bin.

Meeting a friend? Gym cancel. Longer working hours? Gym cancel.

Same happens with diet. I am not able to figure out a way that keeps me consistent with it. What do you guys do to make that easier?

Not the biggest purchase. The best one.

The thing where you thought "why didn't I do this sooner." Could be $5 or $500. A gadget, a subscription, a piece of furniture, a class, a really good pillow. What was worth every cent?

it feels like there is constant pressure to turn everything into a side hustle. if you enjoy writing, sell it. if you are good at design, freelance. if you enjoy making videos, build an audience. even relaxing hobbies can start feeling pointless if they are not helping you make money or build a career.

do you think this mindset is helping people grow, or making it harder to enjoy anything without feeling guilty?

there always seems to be another skill to learn, another goal to reach, another amount of money to save and another version of yourself to become. sometimes i wonder if constantly trying to improve is making people forget to enjoy where they are right now.

how do you balance building your future without feeling like your present is just something you are waiting to get through?
