notes to teenage/childhood self
- find fun ways to move your body and then move your body in fun ways
- listen to tons of music (i would say to my teenage self) from different genres and countries
- write it down!! after a fun moment, write it down. if you remembered to take a picture, put it somewhere safe...
I’m really proud of myself for continuing to do my Japanese lessons everyday
More than proud I’m like, really happy with the results
It’s not that I’m so good at Japanese now but i know I’m better than if i didn’t do it (I’m learning grammar from a textbook) and it’s interesting, it’s really like I’m learning the logic of the Japanese mind
It’s not the most fun thing to continue doing everyday, I’m going to be honest, but i feel like this is the equivalent of if you love to play soccer and want to have more fun playing soccer so you train yourself in the gym to have better fitness…like it will pay off, for sure, in terms of having fun
And i am really proud of this because i don’t tend to be good at enforcing habits that are not immediately fun
(Which i think is also cool in a way because i tend to do things with a lot of passion)
I really feel good about this.
Really.
Really.
Good.
And i feel really happy that I’m continuing my literary blog-magazine
It is still rather in the blog domain right now i must admit because reviews are the only things i have with like some semi essays but the thing that pushes a blog into a magazine is columns and I’m brainstorming column ideas and i have some
But I’m proud because i have never been able to keep “serious” blogs going before (my literary blog is a fun blog, for sure! But it’s serious in the sense that I’m being super deliberate and trying to deliver high quality content with it)
I’m just really proud of myself for continuing and to think of the long-game.
In the past i might’ve burnt myself out and then threw it away
But now I’m going slow and steady and
It’s really similar to learning Japanese
