No time for sadness and sorrow! Only jubilation! View from my apartment

Yeeeeeeep that's what I been saying. None of it adds up (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠)

@Hojo happy new year for all the missed dates then (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

You toooo! So much respect for your drive and passion for this strange reality we inhabit ❤️

2pm 1/1/26 here - well into it Happy New Year! Lets see where this journey takes us!

Knitting is much more unforgiving - if you mess up crochet it is easy to somewhat compensate. But knitting? If you miss or drop a stitch it can be game over! Part of the beauty of knitting is the clean, regular symmetrical stitches. Tension is a bit more challenging in knitting also. Macrame isn't too difficult - more memorizing a series of knots and recalling which ones create the sort of design you want. The most time consuming and annoying part for me is cutting all the yarn in equal lengths with enough for the knots! If you cut to short the whole design ends up too short >.<

Such a smile on my face as I read this Shit isn't perfect for me at all, but it is no matter. A calm place

Alan Watts was big for me also

Spiritual comedian fucken slayed me lol! He does come across that way. I would hope that ticket price went toward something justified. I have listened to him on and off, but never really enjoyed his stuff or looked to him as a teacher or guru. And I resonate with 'my own silence/mind' being more enjoyable. I used to seek out a lot more in general. But it feels like I am not searching anymore. Or something. But there was a pivot in my spiritual process that caused everything to turn completely inward. I cannot quite put my words to it properly But it feels nice!

@Joshe nothing you have said is a fair assessment. You make many assumptions. About myself. My history. My intentions. I am not sure why you speak in such a way.

Thats okay, all history now - and I have sorrow for your hardships also 🤍🙏 Suffice it to say, maybe there is truth in what Ralston says - but it is for each of us to find out on our own. I also understand that the manner of delivery is important with teachers. Disliking a teacher (for how it is conveyed) can make it harder to even want to try to understand their message. I dislike Sadhguru as a teacher. I think he has some great truthful teachings. But he is not for me.

My phrasing was so poor! What I meant was - I count my new year as my birthday (not 1/1/**) if that makes sense 🤪 I stuffed that up so bad with how it was worded! Happy new year right back at you! Love the knitting btw - have you tried crochet? I do both. But lately I have been teaching myself macreme

We are ahead in Australia so new years is donskies 😃 Had my brother over for a gaming night. Usually it's a non-event for me. New year is my birthday.

Pretty offensive term tbh. Cope.

Possible, but there is additional context
