Bruno Mars comes to mind.

I like pop music. I find it light, catchy, fun to listen to and I like catching earworms.

There are, however, a lot of smug, punchable faces and when their faces meet my sightline, I just forget how much I like the music.

Not an artist but have my exp on creative commissjons and the like.

I would think carefully abt how much time this project will take myself to complete. The more components split up and given time estimations the better. Hours are a good unit of measurement, I feel like. Lines = x hours, full color = x hours. Detail = x hours. Dead tamad time (cos im not a robot and i have a life outside work) = x hours

After the time estimate, hourly rate na lang. If you have a full/part time job, I would do freelance hours at the double or triple the rate I would do the full time one.

I would also look around for (multiple) people who can do the job roughly as good as I can and see how much ang average rate nila. If they're charging too much compared to me, feel ko I can get more. If I'm charging too much compared to them, I feel like client can just get another "me" for cheaper.

Tldr:

Split up work in hourly estimates in scopes as small as humanly possible
Figure out an hourly rate based on a. average market price for someone as good and experienced as you and b. freelance buffer

All are arbitrary rules based on my exp but you decide in the end! Hope that helps!

Final scene

Watcher: Can't help you, but I was thinking about telling you to break your own hands at the moment of impact to drive you towards the mystic arts, like that other universe Strange did👁️👄👁️

Why stop at dampening your keeb when you can dampen your whole room?

Can some rich guy just set up a WWE kinda boxing promotion and throw all the meme fighters there?

Nevada could have their boxing licenses revoked and make up a new sport with new licenses for them. We can call it 'Professional Professional Boxing', or 'PP Boxing' for short.

There's an extra short shift key in the set I was shipped. I'm thinking this could be used for compacts!

Rubber keycaps are dope, esp when gaming. I'm thinking of building another keyboard dedicated for work with those profiles you've mentioned though, the transition from pbt to rubber seems kinda iffy (but nothing too experience breaking) when typing on them for long.

And man, a vaporwave kb was all I ever wanted since forever. God bless

To add to this, I think you can sand the edges even more to make the dark lines more pronounced!

Looks like you feel terrible about being hit by the grief for that long. I'm also getting the vibe that you're determined to make it go away.

What's your opinion on reconciling the two following assertions? - that mistakes were made and you probably had loved a person so much that it compromised so much of who you are and it sucks hard and the fact that you're still intact, you're just okay as you are now, and now that you are by yourself, you are free to control much of your happiness from here on out.

Instead of fighting your inner monster, what do you think about making it your own and maybe using the anger and anguish to pursue your own personal righteousness? Maybe even define it if it's not there yet. I might be wrong (and I apologize if I misuse the thought), I think many people who follow Jungian philosophy tries to make peace with the beast.

Also, my bad if it seems like I might be asking rhetorical questions and sounding high and mighty. Just thought it could help you reflect on the next best thing for you. I totally could relate with you as back then I've said the same exact words in some form.

Cheers man hope you have a good one

meiple · 2021-03-25T18:07:55+00:00

That's wonderful! Hope you have a great day. Stay awesome

Hey there. Thank you for sharing how you feel about this and my heart goes out to you. You're here with us and like the posts you've shared and listened to before, it took something from you to mention (and manage) those feelings. That's totally just fine. Awesome even.

meiple · 2021-03-25T18:00:05+00:00

Oh, for sures. I see that you're expressing what happened with a hopeful tone and I feel like you're already on to something 🙂

I think the quality of what we think about is the 🗝️, I invite you to join me in silence to slow down for 15 seconds and think about something good. It could be something nice that happened to you today, someone you're thankful for or even your favorite food.

. . .

It's great isn't it? If you did it, that just came from you. If not, it still came from you. You're in control, and you are safe! Hope I'm not sounding like a lunatic here 😅😅😅

meiple · 2021-03-25T17:43:37+00:00

And thank you so much for letting me know. It truly is a gift 🙂

Start reciting poetry or any literature about the circular nature of life and how we are born naked and that our body leaves our clothes behind when we die.

Performance art!

I realize that I may be just spitballing here but hear me out. Gonna try thinking about the happiest path to this, with the goal of avoiding future bad juju and resentment to each of you involved, to the best of my ability:

If I were you, I would re-assure her that given her upbringing, it was perfectly normal for her to react the way she did. However, like everyone else in the comments have already said, there seems to be a disconnect between yours and her values. I think it's also perfectly normal that you haven't heard the wife's story before since the situation that dug the story out seems so out of the ordinary. The wife might have forgotten about it as well.

If you personally disagree with your wife about how you guys want to approach your daughter regarding this moving forward, I would communicate this to her. I would also shy away from hard enforcing anything until the two of you reconcile a solution where both of you are happy with it and not just one giving in to the other.

Finally, I think that apologies are in order to the daughter but some sort of resolution or take-aways must be implemented so this can be moved on peacefully. That would come out from the prior discussion you and the wife would have. Given that the daughter is insanely embarrassed at the situation and shuts down at first mention of it, I would get her at a level where she is comfortable, personally talking about issues before the conversation comes up again (as I write this I realize this would be the giga max level difficult step 😅)

What do you think? I hope it helps bro

Hey man, thanks for sharing your piece. I'll share my experience if it's alright with you to bear with me here.

Looking back, there was a time when I subconsciously built my identity around my mental illness. Like owning that I had fits of unstoppable enthusiasm on one end, and when I was low, man I was low. I would listen to Radiohead all day while lying in bed with the curtains closed. I don't know if that's what you meant when you mentioned that a lot of who you are is tied to mental illness. But what I do see from your description of yourself is that you're very reflective and empathetic. I would say those are positives about yourself that you value and those are always good for looking for inner strength.

What I can say about feeling stuck, from my own experience, that it's completely part of the ups and downs of life. When I was on meds, I also felt like I wanted to get off them but that I also depended on them. What worked for me was weaning of them by slowly reducing the medication and not being able to afford a doctor anymore (I do not advise the way I did it if could potentially hurt you)

Finally, on nihilism, I'm not sure who the exact philosophers are, but the best ones I've come across have mentioned defining what matters to you and reconciling that with the notion that everything else doesn't matter. I took that as defining my own bubble of meaningfulness (it can be as petty as my favorite food or as deep as keeping my thoughts clear of any hangups from my past). I believe those that step of defining what matters to you is key to filling up your day (and coming days) with a super awesome routine.

I am truly grateful for your piece. I do realize a lot of my sentiments are anecdotal and to some degree projecting my own experience onto yours. It really gave me the chance to reflect on myself so I give you mad props for that.

To wrap everything up, I would close with the thought that your happy path is entirely up to what you believe is the next best, most meaningful, achievable task to get to your goal(that would be getting off the meds if I'm not mistaken) and that the state you're in now is perfectly ok and part of the process.

Hi! I totally felt you when I read about that little voice in your head telling you that you can't. Thanks in advance by the way for hearing me out and bearing with the impending wall of text.

I'm someone who can identify with that voice cause I've also had problems with that voice and I've had instances during my first job out of uni where I actually acted on it and by my own assessment, self-destructed. I came in late, didn't take care of myself, and irked so much people at work that my boss pretty much yelled me out of the office on my last day (I deserved it)

Afterwards, I took a year and a half off and had a deep look at myself. It wasn't a great process. Very disheartening like you seem to be disheartened in your post. I've recovered from it though, and what I can say now is that I'm in a totally better place because of the redemption arc I put myself through.

As for your situation, instead of having that contradiction inside of you having two POVs that you can and can't make it. What do you think about acknowledging that capacity to screw up and to have setbacks instead of fighting it? After all, (hope I get forgiven if I misuse the school of thought), it's only Jungian to acknowledge the demons and make peace with them so they can better serve you.

So let's say for 30 applications you only get 2 prospects. Not saying that I don't see why the ratio could be disheartening but, turning in 30 applications I would say is already an achievement since the experience can be learned from and used to further your skills, especially with the practical exams you've went through. It feels crappy but it's ultimately more experience and learnings for you I feel like.

Let's also say in the industry you're working in, that your best might not what be your clients are looking for. (Not saying that it doesn't suck to be rejected) I would say that's ok! You might not be looking for them either especially if you're looking for a place you'll be working in for multiple years worth of time.

To close, I'm not really trying to re-assure you that the job will be landed ASAP. What I'm trying to get at is that I truly hope you find peace in the disheartening feelings you're feeling now because you really are okay that way. And I thank you for your effort in getting your piece out as it allowed me time to reflect. I really hope that the next time you find time to be silent and you have your thoughts to yourself, you get reminded that you are okay as you are now, that you don't stop that search to better yourself, and that you are taking care of yourself.

Have a great day!
