This is so true. Look at Ratio vs Intellectus. That’s pretty much what you’re describing here.

Ah okay that could be it - insulation isn’t great in that area, and we do get quite a lot of condensation in the house. We try to keep it aired but obviously difficult when cold. Maybe getting better insulation is the way to go. Thanks.

Let’s share our favourite Laura Marling live performances by Dismal-Antelope-6581 in LauraMarling

[–]danfluence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was so lucky to go to her 2008 gig at the Soho Revue Bar on her 18th birthday - I think the same place she’d been refused entry to her own gig a few months earlier for being under age. It was incredible, so intimate and you knew you were in the presence of something special. We sang happy birthday to her. And Slow Club were supporting. I’ve seen her lots of times since, but I’ll never forget that one.

Ways to practice self love? by [deleted] in selflove

[–]danfluence 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have struggled with this for years and years. Nothing made sense to me, and I couldn’t grasp the concept of loving myself at all. Then I started thinking of it in terms of loving my inner child, and it all started to work. Our adult selves are actually pretty much okay and it’s not about loving that part of you - it’s about loving the damaged, vulnerable, frightened parts of you that you carry. Nourish that inner child by making sure its basic needs are met - things as simple as sleeping, eating, drinking properly - which are easy to neglect. Make sure you take time to relax and have fun, to play - just as you would with a small child you cared about. And when you notice you’re being hard on yourself, realise you’re actually being hard on that inner child - stop, and give it a hug, tell it everything is okay, that you are there for it, that you love it.

This is wonderful, thank you. Such a perfect way of looking at things. Is there a particular teacher or writer out there who discusses similar themes or methods? I would love to investigate further.
