  • buddy bootstraps

    it’s nothing to do with willpower in the year-long run - that’s the rationalization of “they do it to themselves, beats me”

    it’s all to do with the habits and compensations of unfulfilled life situations. unsatisfied life situations will lead to screen abuse like this. it’s adding weight on my autistic loner ass, no amount of going out to meet people and pet dogs and willpowering through habits changes the grooves of that river. i’ve reached out to have a psychologist to analyze this in the meantime since writing: they immediatly bring up acceptance for the issue and begin by (with me) breaking down the needs involved with my screentime.

    • calendar • notebooks, quick-info, diary • creative outlet notebook

    then the chats and porn and videogames which are a longer haul to breakdown.

    none of this willpowering thru- just writing that down to anyone stuck believing the advice of “just pull yourself up by the bootstraps.”

    thank you, i got irritated, but make this constructive














  • i think mazes are neat. mutually exclusive to you i thought of this since posting too!

    so a theme to a maze. like a centre of a dojo to escape, beginning in the boss’s chamber while that boss is out for some reason.

    or a gym.

    or a school.

    or a cloistre.

    each time exiting a layer like an onion :p

    also boarding a horizon: shipwrecked at sea, a desert travel going from oasis to oasis, an endless snowfield going from hamlet to hamlet, …






  • i think you’re spot on,

    but remember or know that not all people’s diets are inflammatory. so there isn’t necessarily something to fix in a diet like mine which hasn’t had sugar, alcohol, meat nor heavily processed food with added preservatives pesticides… for years. locally grown vegetables and ecological vegetarian restaurants are plentyful in european big cities.

    nor does the food i was served in my youth bring as much joy since it was a troubled youth with domestic abuse.

    so remember now that what you’re right about isn’t a silver bullet to release oxytocin during a meal. i’m leaving you an upvote =)
