dog ownership has rendered me immune to walks-as-distractions but I really should take up my dad's habit of writing little lists, the times I've done it it always makes me feel like a Serious Person

I guess it was sort of a rhetorical question, & I have had mindfullness recommended to me, & I guess the silly part is I kinda have to get my life together before I can get my life together

process I'm in this just seems to get postponed indefinitely, so I'm never in a place where I can properly work on things. idk I'm in this place where I need to find somewhere to live, solidify my career sort of, find a partner if I ever want a family etc etc. & everything is kinda like

yeah I think the thing is I never seem to have space for anything drastic enough to be effective. last summer I went to see a therapist in a larger town near where I live and her advice was to move somewhere I think I could thrive then find someone to talk to there. but w this awful Visa

god I become 300 percent more swedish in my attitudes the moment I leave the country

I don't mean to criticize your culture but small statues of the Virgin are not a substitute for following or having speed limits

the real horror is I'm picking up the rental car in 30 min or so & then I have to somehow survive the drive out of Rio. my uber driver, on his phone, was just seconds away from hitting a motorcyclist, which bodes well

I think my impulse at times is idle phone staring as reading meaningless bits of text keeps me from having thoughts but then idk after a while I get annoyed at how distracted I am so you're prob right

Linnea Sterte @decassette.bsky.social · 9h

sorry this is so typically me ha ha: asking for help then getting mad at the ppl trying to give me advice

also have chronic insomnia so tired is also something I'm trying to learn not to pay attention to (have seen professionals but they mostly recommend breathing exercises which is unhelpful for not waking up at random after 3 h of sleep, as I can't do them while asleep, idk)

I think lonely is kinda unsolvable for me anytime in the near future, or even long term, so idk if alerting myself to the fact would just make me sadder

Linnea Sterte @decassette.bsky.social · 9h

latter is prob doable though

Linnea Sterte @decassette.bsky.social · 9h

did try but they gave me these weird mini seizures? like at its worst my brain would just go blank if I moved my eyes from looking at one thing to another. still happens at times after 2 years & I genuinely think it's fucked me up cognitively

(am trying to vacation so the point is I want to enjoy the place & be present instead of having pre-anxiety over not being enough of a Person to answer the questions they ask you on Hinge. so playing mobile games isn't doable really)

his art is so American it's impossible for me to judge. like looking at a fertility goddess statuette from 6000 years ago & knowing I could never fully grasp the spiritual or aesthetic significance it held for the people who created it; how a person in that culture would have reacted to seeing it

this is for that mystical future time when I live somewhere there's people

not so much that I'm struggling economically, more so I'm in an awkward place of not actually knowing where I want to live. for now I can sort of pay for stuff

Linnea Sterte @decassette.bsky.social · 1d

polachek zone but for a medium that's in itself also cool-but-unpopular

knowing my luck they'll just keep adding weeks to the global talent visa endorsement wait time; the final letter will never come; I will be old & decrepit & london will sink into the sea
