Hello, again, everybody! I missed blogging. It has been 2 weeks and I'm kinda exhausted, but I slept in for around 11 hours last night so I'm fine. :) # On Difficult Stuff Cleaning up was a nightmare for me, and that is not to mention a pack-up initiative that came right after that. I had to declutter 6 years' worth of clutter, throw away trash, give away things I did no longer use, and pack all the things I had to take, along with my workbench and a few books ahead of the reading list. It ate up all my time, but I'm happy with the result. In return, moving homes and setting it up was way easier and I have much less stuff. Here's a tip: If you can't keep track of all things that you have mentally, it is probably an extra mental weight instead. I had drawers and boxes marked as a "black box" because I literally didn't know what was inside. # Queen I have been listening to entire Queen for hours on end, in a loop, while cleaning up. It saved my sanity and I have a new favorite band First of all, Queen II vinyl is on my birthday-present-list-but-no-jk-unless list. Queen (the first album) is a nice compilation of early stuff. I love Keep Yourself Alive. Son and Daughter is a classic sports car commercial trap. It is all good but compared to rest of the Queen, they are a bit unrefined. My Fairy King is a great intro to Queen tho. But what about Queen II? Have ever feeled *hooked*, but while listening to an album? It is not like you just sat there and listened to the whole thing? Yes. But what about the rest? I'm kinda split-hearted about the rest. I don't know how to feel about their change in tone. I love progressive rock but I don't listen to much art rock. Maybe it is still too early for me? # On Perspective Thinking of all tasks in terms of how brain actually handles them has had a great positive effect on my attitude. Learning becomes *training* neural networks, becoming a better person becomes swapping bad *habbits* with good ones, memory is no longer non-*deterministic*, and dealing with sadness can be achieved by going through *images* of life (happy and sad) and understanding how tinted human experience can be (or atleast, that works for me). I also wouldn't pressure myself when I can't do things well. I know it takes time. I know I need balance in life. I know it takes understanding of the process to boost it. I don't try to generalize this to all things, but it has been a nice relief. It is almost like cheating. Has life always been this easy? # On Phlog Roll Will you guys keep another secret for me? I have been putting off creating a phlog roll for the last two weeks. I should really set-up some means of following people. Tbh, I'm also guilty because I haven't set up RSS on my phlog. I'll see if I can get Emacs to generate one. Baby steps, right? # Closing I'm really in a situation that I can keep testing stuff and see what fits me, and where do I fit. I'm thankful for all this. I need to take my time but put my time into things I love, because that's the only way to build worthwhile things. Or atleast I have the opportunity to provide myself with that. Life has just began.
