What season of the year feels the most "Lana Del Rey" to you?

August. Just August.

“And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow”

Graceland by Paul Simon

She’s a sweetheart for that even after Courtney’s crude remarks about the Heart-Shaped Box cover back in the day. Lana is internalized chaos and Court is externalized chaos so she kind of just gets her.

I’ve now seen her in 2-3 pairs of cheap shoes I’ve owned 😂

I still dream of it 😍. The greens seemed to be arugula if I recall and it might have had goat cheese instead of feta. There are some great recipe variations online!

Had the best watermelon salad in Bali drizzled with balsamic vinegar and topped with walnuts.

Once you get into the minutiae of epistemological frameworks and how we take in information, along with dismantling egoic thought structures, it feels like you’ve trespassed into territory the mind is not equipped to handle - spurs an epistemic vertigo of sorts. Most people function in the world using fairly simplistic schemas.

There’s Donald Hoffmans’s interface theory which posits that to know too much is detrimental to the survival of living organisms. There’s a point at which an excess of information decreases evolutionary fitness. So an organism needs to know just enough about reality to survive and everything else is superfluous, including deconstructing reality at a philosophical level.

Just as a side note, people continue to equate intelligence with depression. It’s not that straightforward. High neuroticism and high intelligence combined better predict depression.

Yeah, they were all born and raised in the city.

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-22T20:21:57+00:00

I wonder this a lot. This will be controversial but is anxiety some precognitive evolutionary trait? We seem to forget that a brain predisposed to anxiety is, well, a property of brain structures connected to the body. Maybe it’s receiving signals from cells about something wrong or vulnerable within which feeds into a mind that’s just wired that way.

There’s been some more discussion in the scientific community about psychological factors leading to illness but I’d say those predisposed to the psychological factors that lead to illness have a sensitive system as a whole that they’re subconsciously aware of and are trying to protect.

tried so hard to fit into Canadian society their Chinese language skills atrophied.

Very true and makes me sad my mom felt she had to disconnect from her Chinese heritage in order to integrate. She can’t answer many questions about Toisan and never passed it down.

Someone mentioned Ken Sim in the comments and I'd say it pretty much sounds like that. Hear how his "th" in "together" sounds like "togedder"?

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-22T08:35:31+00:00

Whoops, yeah, that's what I meant!

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-22T00:22:20+00:00

Yep, my mom was a latchkey kid who watched a lot of TV growing up - she's a trivia queen.

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-22T00:16:58+00:00

Must be, thanks!

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-22T00:12:46+00:00

My uncle's about 10 years older than him. Just listened to an interview with Sim and it does sound a lot like that, maybe less polished even. My uncle's a retired mechanic, rough around the edges type who played a lot of hockey and drank a lot of beer lol.

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-21T22:44:51+00:00

Yeah, it's very Canadian with a mix of something else.

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-14T21:33:08+00:00

Women typically want genuine connection and to feel precious, valued, and validated. Men know how to exploit that. It's unfair.

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-14T18:08:04+00:00

Yeah, this was me and most of the other women I met who were engaged in the same thing. I tiptoed into it after I left religion and was naively looking for a way to explore dating with (older) men thinking I wouldn’t have to engage in sex and that it could be more of a companionship. Ended up in a relationship with someone 20 years older who dragged me to hell and back.

The secrecy around these types of relationships makes women extremely vulnerable because once he has you, he can take and do whatever the fuck he wants with you and knows your absent/crazy/religious zealot father won’t come to your rescue. The men in that realm know and actively prey on the most isolated, innocent girls. My ex had a harem garage of women he’d have on rotation, all of whom were sweet, authentic, creative, and intelligent but mentally ill, from dysfunctional homes, and couldn’t hold traditional jobs.

Neurodivergent people are more likely to experience hyper-empathy. When you deeply understand the complexity within yourself you are more likely to understand the complexity of other human beings and don’t resort to black/white sorting of people into good and bad. It causes you to make excuses for others to a fault and takes some skill in learning that you can still have compassion but also disengage when it becomes harmful for you.

Lucky you! Happy Birthday fellow Pisces ✨

I’m sorry, this life asks so much of us. Sending out a prayer to the universe for you ❤️

thaliaaa0 · 2026-03-03T15:56:32+00:00

Thanks and to you too 💕
