(For the northern hemisphere folks)
Ugh thank you I need more sunnnnn
Itās 57Ā° and sunny here. I went for an hour long walk with the baby, I have all my windows open, Iām blasting Red Hot chili peppers, and I feel like I just downed eight shots of espresso. I know this will probably only last today, and it will be back to darkness and rain for several more weeks before the next fake spring, but itās absolutely what I needed right now.
Itās 52 here so once I finish eating food and more caffeine and feeding the insatiable maw of the tiny one we will go for a walk!
Thank you kindly. Itās been such a DULL winter and I have been very angry about it.
Not sure if this is the right place for these. But yes, my eyes read 3 x faster than my brain doesā¦
Oh I definitely skip paragraphs. When tired or when excited to see what happens omg climactic scene ahead
Sometimes I totally have to put my hand over the upcoming paragraphs so my eyes donāt jump ahead to whatās gonna happen!
I absolutely do this, especially if thereās a lot of descriptions of things instead of actual conversation/plot.
Not exactly the same but I just stopped reading a book because I read 2 pages (every word!) but forgot the meaning of the paragraphs as soon as they were over.
Trying again after some breakfast.
Good to see Iām not alone here .
I totally do that
I do that too! Especially at the end of a chapter when thereās white space, so my eyes are drawn to it.
Loving husband dropped this one on meā¦(SpeechProf on ātreat yoselfā)
Whoooooof.
Also love the speech prof.
ppl doing everyday things exceptionally well is soothing to me (video)
Oh yes. I loved this.
I would like to know why all people (apparently especially women) between the ages of like 30 and 55 are going through the same weird crisis of identity and burnout.
I am in this group and Iām not enjoying it Is there an unsubscribe button?
So this particular video resonated with me specifically re: being a recovering perfectionist which is the kind of niche not usually represented. That monologue is like, straight from my head. I was, of course, deeply offended.
But yes. Tiās the time of life for burnout. Something something pace of life these days?
