Catan on the end of the world It's so crazy that everyone is pretending that everything is ok. Guys the world is ending can't you see it?? WW3 is unfolding in front of our eyes and everyone just ignores it until the bombs are falling on OUR heads. Even if we make it through that all the AI companies are having ZERO restrictions on their effort to build some kind of superintelligence that will most likely wipe all of us out. The elites got us fucked up but the people are WALL E existing with the screen in front of their face floating through space thinking it has nothing to do with them. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!
LF on life and fear I am terrified of not finding the reason why I am on earth. I can't think of anything scarier than not finding the thing that make me feel complete in this life. When lost: Go do some wrid shit you wouldn't do on a normal day, break your current pattern, if you take the same walk to and from work every day you'll only ever be exposed to that routes (in)sights, take a detour, see something new. Might hit you differently
xx on life My feel-better list for when I’m sad: • Run — My current favorite workout. I go hard enough to sweat and forget what was bothering me. instant mood reset. • I watch my plants and feel their gentle, quite energy. Taking care of them is something I deeply love • Jump rope — especially when the sun’s out. I stare straight into the sun, like I’m trying to absorb every drop of light into my soul • Make myself a pretty, healthy meal, even when I don’t feel like eating. Bonus points if it looks like something from a cozy cafe. • Smile at myself in the mirror. Flash a peace sign. No one’s watching anyway. • Walk and walk and walk — until I’m a little lost, in a good way. Try to notice all the tiny beautiful things hiding in plain sight. Pretend I’m a tree researcher on a secret mission. Makes it more fun. • Watch something silly or unbearably cute. (Baby animals = instant emotional CPR.) • Listen to bright, hopeful K-pop. The kind that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time. ⸻ When life feels painfully alive and dead all at once — I try to enjoy it. These wild, messy moments will be the ones I miss someday, when everything gets too normal. Life is a game, and this is just another weird side quest. Luck is always on my side.
Today is the day I turn thoughts into reality. I was speaking yesterday to my friend who said "I have many ideas, but no plans." It hit hard to hear that. So many ideas, notebooks, journals, so little to show for it. Today is the day we start. God bless - Astro
you're not actually meant to feel good all the time. This relentless obsession with fixing any negative emotions is the same type of logic that creates a binge culture of addiction (where we turn to drugs, food, sex, or validation to dull the feelings we're uncomfortable with). On the other hand, it can create a culture of self-optimisation, which is its own hell too. Sometimes lions mane doesn't cut it anymore. And neither does heroin. We live in a world where pleasure is everywhere but contentment is harder to find. Institutions are failing us and we've been taught to hate the people we share common interests with. In a society primed for relentless shopping (not just for clothes, but for experiences. for people, ideas, and for identities) we swapped real empowerment with better customer service. And now we're too comfortable to stand up for ourselves, because we just bought a new recliner couch and we're watching housewives of Salt Lake City season 4
Momo on nails and art For me, nails are the most powerful way to express myself. Since I was young, I was often told I was “different,” and in Japan that can sometimes feel like a negative thing. But when I discovered nail art, I felt like I finally found a way to become who I wanted to be. I’m very sensitive to people’s emotions, so I’m good at understanding what my clients truly want. To me, nails are not just decoration—they are personal art pieces. I create designs based on each client’s lifestyle, personality, and preferences, so their nails can inspire them for the whole month. It’s like a small, original artwork made just for them. My inspiration comes from everything around me—scenery, fashion, colors, textures, even everyday objects. That’s why meeting creators like you is so inspiring and expands my artistic world. I truly admire your work. When I was in Japan, I sometimes felt restricted by expectations of perfection, which made my creativity feel smaller. Coming to Australia and meeting different kinds of people has opened my mind and helped me see new possibilities for my art. I feel people here express themselves more freely, and I really love that. Recently, I also started painting on clothes as another way to express my unique style. But at my core, I am a nail artist, and what I truly love is creating art for my clients and making them happy. I’m really grateful to have come here, to learn flexibility, and to have found your work. It would mean a lot to me if I could be even a small part of your creative world. Have a beautiful day.

Jet on purpose I’ve been pondering purpose these past few weeks. And I’ve come to the conclusion that there is none. There is no higher reason as to why I was born, other than my parents being in love and wishing for a child. And that makes me glad. I don’t have to fulfill some higher destiny in order to prove my worth. I can stay the small, insignificant person I am in the grand scheme of things, and focus on my surroundings. I’ve decided my purpose is not to go out and change the world. It’s not to be a grandiose person, talked about for generations to come. Instead I’m focusing on the small things. Helping a friend move or an older person up the stairs. Small acts of kindness that won’t change the world, yet have their own impact. A small man in a big world, making an impact proportional to his existence. I quite like that idea.
Camerons Drei-Schichten-Modell: Es gibt immer nur Warm oder Kalt. Die erste Schicht ist die Oberfläche: Ist jemand bei den ersten Treffen offen oder distanziert? Die zweite Schicht ist tiefer, die spürt man erst, wenn man jemanden besser kennt: bist du zynisch beziehungsweise zurückhaltend - oder liebevoll? Die dritte Schicht ist der Kern. Am Schlimmsten ist es, wenn jemand Warm-Warm-Kalt ist. Du kennst die Person jahrelang, sie wirkt sowohl an der Oberfläche als auch darunter warm. Aber eines Tages merkst du: innendrin ist diese Person eigentlich kalt. Genauso gibts Leute, die im ersten Moment nett wirken, dann aber lange kühl und schroff sind, bis du irgendwann kapierst, dass sie tief drinnen doch ein gutes Herz haben, Warm-Kalt-Warm. Und so weiter und so weiter... Ich glaube ich persönlich bin Kalt-Warm-...?
me and my friend used to fantasize about traveling to europe together we'd be like yo bro imagine if we went to like italy or like spain and we are drinking by the blablabla and now that it's actually a reality i feel like im not appreciating the moment enough. I feel like that all the time like I know from past experience that when Ive done something, when Ive lived a moment, in the future I always feel like I didn't appreciate it enough. And I always try to LIVE the moment and really soak it in but no matter how hard I try once it becomes a memory I always feel like I didn't appreciate it enough. And I wonder why.
kelbo The book a little life had a huge impact on me. I was aware of some mental struggles that the people around me went through but I always figured they would approach me and ask for help or something like that. Mental health was a bit mystic and unspoken of and through reading that book I started understanding how friendship and mental health are intertwined and that I need to look out for my loved ones. Only later I could fully relate to some of the struggles but the book was really eye opening to me. Also, it was amazing to see a woman describe male friendships - the characters were nothing but amazing. I would also add the Manga Vagabond which is a spiritual journey of a samurai during the.. well Samurai times. It is beautifully drawn and at least two characters are role models of mine. I always saw myself as sort of the glue in a friend group. Often, some people wouldn't get along all the time but it always seemed to be me bringing them together. I would try to make peace between them and lighten the mood, sometimes also playing along on one side, only to then completely switch to the other side and make fun (in a friendly way lol) of both of them. I always thought I would go out with a boom - being really old and just been told that I will die in a few days, I would take a bunch of drugs, ride rollercoasters and just go out like that. With everything going on in the world right now: wars, AI, end stage capitalism, I started thinking that I might not get old. This realisation has been hard for me to process tbh. I just always assumed I could live my life from start to end in a natural way and quite honestly, I am very scared of that. I really feel like myself when I create and when I am actively caught up in living life. Like going on a trip with someone I love, documenting it in whatever shape or form. That flow state of being immersed in something. Writing this right now makes me feel that. When I feel really really bad I need to do something to humble myself. I learned that often I am too obsessively thinking about ME and my own life and that in fact it is that thinking that is causing me suffering. It is hard to get out of that state but I like to go on long walks that physically exhaust me. They always seem to end up in either a very crowded or very isolated place which both serve me well. In isolation I like to find myself in a big church or in front of the sea or something like that. Places that remind me of the fact that I am very small and that my light is shining for a very short duration in the scope of the universe. Same thing with crowded places. Lost in a crowd my ego dissolves. I sometimes just like to sit and watch people pass by. I think thats also what people get wrong about this life these days. Our world is teaching us the we are the most important and should get whatever we want and its just feeding our ego and greed and everything. It feels like barely anyone is living a humble life these days. We have become so obsessed with status and posession its crazy. I hate that we have to pay in order to exist I wish it wasn't like that.
ob on school I loved elementary school, it was honestly nothing but fun. I had my friends there and it was easy but for grade 5 my mom decided to try out some alternative school concept which sucked. I became very shy and didn't enjoy going to school anymore. I always pretended to be sick in order to stay home. I watched MTV and Malcom in the Middle. I knew all the episodes. When I eventually came back to school everyone would always ask me what happened to me and I could see that they knew that I hadn't been sick. I hated that they asked me that. I thought they would understand it but instead it felt like they tried to make me feel guilty. I skipped school more and more. If it hadn't worried my mom so much, I would have never come back.
