  1. A wish to not be known(230225)

    I fantasise about running away, throwing myself into the scum of the world and becoming one with it, Because in the dark and dinge of it all I will be nameless. Just a story lost to the passing of time. Nothing will matter. Not the things they say Not the choices I make Not the life I lived Because at the end of he day, when all is said and done, We all end up six feet under the very same earth. Laid to rest and forgotten.
  2. Digital Minimalism - Post #7 - Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter In

    Extreme Pessimism Ahead and I will NOT reply to debate-provoking comments. In the past few weeks, I have learned a harsh lesson: There is no hope. The world is falling apart- I don't care what side you are on or if you think I am wrong. That's fine. But for me. I realized I have to accept what I must. That is, the world is falling part from where I stand. Only when I do that, can I find peace. I think we can all relate to when we jump on our phones and begin searching news, hoping...
  3. It Began in a Tavern - Ravenna's Themes

    Because I have too many songs now that I started looking. Ravenna's main theme is: I heard this song and it screams Alisso: And this one, too. Oddly, I was looking for this one when I remembered the one above: Finally, for Nari: And for overall character plot, I felt like this song was pretty relevant to Ravenna's story arc:
  4. Digital Minimalism - Post #6 - You Died

    So, I am back on the wagon today and I am much happier. I got SO much done around the house. As I am writing this, I am using my 15 minutes of internet time. The goal isn't to be perfect, the goal is to improve. So, I can only hope I can get back on the wagon for a long while. News- second hand- knocked me off. I realize this has to be a challenge. Because I like challenging games like Elden Ring, Dark Souls, etc. So, every time I fall off the wagon, it's like the 'You Died' screen. You...
  5. Stigma and Thoughts

    When you are out and about, walking amongst people, do you reflect on who they are? What their stories are? Sometimes you can see tired eyes or gloomy looks, the way they dress can also be an indicator as to how they're doing. But most of the time you have no idea who they are or what they struggle with. Some people have called me handsome, I wear somewhat decent clothes, and I take regular showers. I look pretty healthy. So it might surprise people that I have schizophrenia. It's something...
  6. Digital Minimalism - Video Archive #1

    I saw this video and it's really good. I like Mel. I bet you're wondering WHY I am posting a video, but I decided I wanted to make a collection of digital minimalism information. A digital archive to help remind me and inspire me to continue my journey.
  7. Digital Minimalism - Post #5 - The Likes

    (The art on my blog is not mine. I just like it.) So, I am not sure if Cal Newport mentioned this in his book, 'Digital Minimalism', but I had some thoughts about the 'like' button. Upon reflection, it's more socially insidious than the 5-star system first used by Youtube. Because we ALL want to be liked. Because wanting to be loved and accepted by society is important for everyone. So, we want what we say to be liked. The more liked we are, the more secure we feel in our expression. But...
  8. Digital Minimalism - Post #4 - MY Reasons

    The reasons I am doing this is something I must return to when I fall off the wagon. The last few days have not been 'good' by any measure. So, it's always good to remember WHY I am doing this and like one of my characters, I like lists. So below are my reasons why I am trying to cut back on my internet time. Why I am posting these here? Because you might relate and I wanted to post this. It's my blog after all. So, onto the list: 1. To spend as much time with my cat as possible. He is a...
  9. Working on Digital Minimalism - Post #3 - Falling off the Wagon

    I have a confession. In the last two days, I have used my phone for hours. Computer for hours, too. It happens to me sometimes when I 'try too hard' to cut back. But also, when I am upset. And recent world events the past two days have been just that. (If you have feelings about them that are opposite of mine, I am not here to debate.) But the real question is HOW do I get back ON the wagon? How can I get back to my little digital life and big real life when the news or events turn over my...
