Five Yrs Ago: A Journal Prompt From Gemini
I asked Gemini what I should write about here and here's what it said:
Imagine you have the chance to give your younger self (from 5 years ago) three pieces of advice. What would that advice be and why?
(I then asked which year was five years ago and it said 2019.)
I'll do a bulleted list.
1.) Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever work for your sister.
2.) You'll regret working for your sister. I don't care how much money she dangles in front of you. It's not worth your self-worth.
3.) You're going to be ok. The future is gonna be super bleak. The entire world will undergo a very life-altering shake-up and you'll freak for a while. You'll eventually lose your ability to go to your favorite therapist. It's gonna be ok. You have the tools you need. You have the knowledge you need. You can make it through, just believe in yourself!
4.) You'll enjoy doing Tarot. Maybe learn more about the meanings behind the cards, though.
5.) You will forget about the protective layer to your ipad's protective layer. For an entire year.
6.) You will get an Ipad. It's gonna change your art process. Somewhat. You'll love it.
7.) Don't believe the hype.
8.) You're safe. You're loved. Just remember that, and you'll make it through anything this life will have for you.
9.) 2022 is gonna royally suck. 2023 will suck too. 2024 will be bad, as well. Here's lookin' at you, 2025.
10.) You will make things happen. You will be where you want to be. Just have faith in yourself, and follow your dreams.
11.) There really is going to be enough hours in the day.
12.)Meditate more often.
13.) Listen closely.

NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone

Grieving, grieving, constantly grieving.
I mourn what could have been, what should have been, what will not be, what I cannot save.

A quick reminder that the bullet journal method was designed as a disability tool by a person with ADD. It's meant to be practical, and can be helpful especially to neurodivergent folks. Don't let the Instagram pictures or grind culture make you believe you cannot use it. The method will not work for everyone of course, but it is largely what you make of it.

Nobody talks about how hard it is to face people again after you've had an episode in front of them
Once they've seen you do full-force into self-destruct, they always look at you with a sense of wariness and like you're not the person they thought you were
The shame makes me want to rip my skin off

in another life, i find out i am autistic at 12 instead of at 29. i am still bullied, but my parents put me in another school. i get the support i need. i find friends who love me for who i am. my mom and dad don’t yell. instead, they comfort me during my meltdowns. they support me. i grow up knowing who i am, what i am, and i learn how my body works instead of wondering why i can’t speak the language of everyone else around me despite having english as my native language.
