  • Well shit, dreams crushed lol

    In all seriousness, I appreciate the honest reply. I never intended to master any of my instruments, but always wanted to get over this “plateau” that I experience with all of them. It feels so good when you can finally play what you keep hearing in your head, even just a little bit. The closest I’ve gotten is with my guitar and ukulele, but similar to learning a new language, I lose fluency when I stop practicing

    And I know it just comes down to practice, I guess sometimes you need someone to spell it out again. So thanks friend, I’ll keep playing










  • Knowing and understanding are not equal, just as instruction and guidance aren’t. Processing knowledge helps to bring understanding my friend. I’m not saying you’re wrong; I’m saying not everyone does it like you, and that’s ok

    Maybe you process faster; maybe you’re skimming the details to save personal harm. Maybe the way you do things isn’t a hard truth, but samely, doesn’t make your recommendations invalid. I just would personally change my wording from a place of “don’t do it”, to a place of “I wouldn’t, but that’s me”. Otherwise you risk depriving the wisdom of life from others, due to your own personal fears




  • Interesting take on personal trauma. What’s “good”, “bad”, or even “neutral” for mental health is very individualistic. A warning is warranted, but I’d be wary of telling people it’s “not good” to watch it. Maybe not for you, but you are you’re own person

    Plenty of adults here who can make that call themselves (proper warning is always welcomed/needed)

    Personally, I don’t choose the route of burying my head in the sand so I can savor blissful ignorance. I watch people die regularly IRL and am comfortable with the notion… but what’s wrong is wrong and sometimes people need to understand the reality. If they ain’t up to it, than a proper NSFL warning is good enough to warn them

    People ain’t all children, and I respect what you’re trying to say… but if I got executed like that man; I’d want everyone (who was able) to see it for themselves. Especially in an age where false narratives and soft details are the norm

    I prefer to see the horror with my own eyes and make my own judgements. I’ve accidentally seen far too much as is, and it only gave me strength after healing

    A warning’s good enough, no need to patronize
