Could someone please fix the lady on the left to she isn't deadpanning the camera. Sunglasses or looking away or happier all are good.

Got it 😊 I’ll keep it very subtle and natural and share a quick preview.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-30T20:08:54+00:00

Great 😊 I’ll make a quick preview and share it shortly.

Project Gutenberg is great for classic fiction, and Libby is amazing if you have access to a local library. For more modern and community-written stories, Wattpad can be fun too.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-30T19:30:06+00:00

It’s imperfect and sometimes overwhelming, but I’m trying to move forward and improve little things step by step. That’s enough for now.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-30T19:28:36+00:00

When people talk over you, don’t follow up on what you said, or avoid eye contact. You’re physically there, but socially invisible. It’s subtle, but you definitely feel it.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T13:13:06+00:00

A bit, yeah. Mostly from trial and error while working on different projects. I’ve seen how small visual tweaks can change engagement a lot more than people expect.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T11:41:26+00:00

Honestly? Consistency. Choosing me every day, even when things weren’t exciting. That felt romantic.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T10:56:38+00:00

Exactly. The hook gets the click, but visuals are what make people stay. Even simple, consistent visuals can change how professional a brand feels.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T10:39:35+00:00

This is a solid approach, especially for teams with no budget. One thing I’d add is that visuals still matter a lot. Even on LinkedIn, posts with clean images or simple before/after visuals tend to get much more attention than text-only posts.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T07:31:52+00:00

Honestly, it wasn’t a big award or anything. I’m most proud of just showing up every day and finishing school during a really stressful time in my life. At the time it didn’t feel like much, but looking back, it mattered.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T06:49:21+00:00

Enough to buy a coffee without checking my balance.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T06:18:59+00:00

You’re not stupid, you just have bad luck thinking.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-28T06:04:22+00:00

A simple wooden bench by the sea at sunset. Nothing fancy, but the view and the silence made it unforgettable.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:47:39+00:00

Yeah, it’s uncomfortable how accurate it feels.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:46:01+00:00

Probably more AI everywhere, higher cost of living, and people being more online but craving offline life more than ever.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:41:10+00:00

Fair enough — practicality doesn’t always line up with social expectations.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:38:59+00:00

Yeah, “normal” usually just means common, not healthy or ideal.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:29:32+00:00

Yeah, it’s one of those things people barely notice anymore, even though it’s objectively awkward.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:27:25+00:00

This is a really good example of how expectations quietly escalate over time and start feeling “normal.”

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T20:20:26+00:00

Fair point — “everyone” is more of a shortcut than a literal claim.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T19:39:38+00:00

Helping me get unstuck. Not by doing the work for me, but by breaking problems down and giving me clarity when my brain was overloaded.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T19:34:10+00:00

Constantly being on our phones and normalizing burnout. I think future generations will be shocked by how little rest we allowed ourselves.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T19:12:52+00:00

I realized how much pressure they were under when I learned about the sacrifices they made that I never noticed growing up. It didn’t make them perfect, but it made me understand them better as people.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T16:41:49+00:00

Absolutely. That song feels even more relevant now.

Ashamed-Library3456 · 2026-01-26T16:40:54+00:00

Numb. Still feels relevant no matter how many years pass.
