  1. @eos_nyxia Yes! Daisy chains as necklaces and crowns! I still pick them and make necklaces. There's a section of my building that is for retirees. The ladies have morning tea. I often bring them back chains of flowers for fun. It is spring here now... I've already been an evil little harpie and stolen flowers to decorate the chains 😈 innocent fun though. Thanks for sharing 🫶
  2. This. There is no negotiation. There is no option not to work. I just do. It's a reflex. I am working before I even know what I am doing. It took me deliberate practice for a good few years to get to this place. But once there, the habits are as to be etched in stone.
  3. ...birds of a feather! Ingredients for the mighty cockroach omelette
  4. I know you have a problem with the court of public opinion - but it is your problem.
  5. People care. His influence - particularly the potentially negative influence - does.

  7. Don't smash their dreams too early Some people love "gatekeeping by those with skill" might no longer be a thing. A strange way to look at it. Yep!
  8. Reading this triggered a thought! I think there is a new problem arising - AI enables those without "skill" and expertise to shortcut their way to able to produce skilled work. They have a low effort process that can overcome the hurdles years of training, effort and persistence needed to develop a craft that someone can benefit from. That prestige and access is available to them. Removing hierarchy and barriers to entry for many creative output fields. AI is democratizing skills. And separating skill acquisition from skill output. But the actual process of training that skill is a valuable asset. It trains consistency, diligence, dedication & skills to produce excellence in a field. Along the way prestige is built through networks and business contacts - social skills are developed as a byproduct. The networks we have to work with - human contact & connection - are fast becoming a new type of asset that traditional training methods (ie university, business etc) used to build through training processes. Skill becomes cheaper - networks become more valuable. They are being gatekept in a new way. Human connection may become a scarce form of capital. Authentic, high quality and trusted relationships.
  9. Don't you like it?

  11. Crazy alignment there! A fairy - hands down. I'm much too "see through to what's behind it all", curious, a bit mad or mischievous, independent and unconventional to be a queen or a princess. Great question. Good barometer for "essence"
  12. Being one! I love it My favourite part is playing in embodied experience and pulling a man along for the ride. Helping call attention to the nuanced parts of heightened emotional, feeling and sensation experience that he may otherwise miss in mens typical heady, analytical state. Obviously I speak in generalities as many men with strong feminine connection can be in touch like this. Nothing better than sharing an experience and deepening it through my unique expression alongside a man
