A good therapist has such wonderful gems of wisdom to share. I remember mine once telling me, “Failure is an unavoidable fact of life. You just need to decide what sort of scenery you want to be looking at the next time you fail.” Life changing!

FFS, who’s chopping onions in here? Geez, I didn’t realize I needed this at all.
Thank you for sharing, good human. Keep fighting the good fight.

Nice. If you get the chance, I recommend Wrocław, too. The little gnomes all over town are adorable and such a fun, publicly-driven art project.

Thank you. This is helping me reframe my last relationship, which I’ve been looking back on lately with deep regret. At least I had a huge adventure; maybe he was always just meant to be my wheelman.

Poland was actually surprisingly beautiful. They have lots of great nature spaces even in the city parks. There are definitely downsides and the cultural sadness is weird to get used to, but it’s still an adventure and we should always think carefully before saying no to adventure.
Which city would you move to?

I think it’s more like admitting that some of the movies you’ve seen were boring and disappointing but, rather than declaring all movies must be boring and disappointing, you now hone in on which genres or directors or writers or actors have been more enjoyable to watch. It’s a refinement process where you focus on which movies bring you satisfaction or contentment or at least amusement, regardless of whether other people say they are good movies or not. Then you watch more of the movies and stop wasting energy on the ones you know don’t work for you.
