Change Is Hard AF – Part 2

First Coffee Thoughts
I wrote in the original Change Is Hard AF essay that "𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙" and I think for those reasons, people are reluctant to evolve and test their character as they move through life.

You Are In Control

First Coffee Thoughts
We can't control external events, but we can control our response to them, finding peace and resilience in embracing whatever life throws our way.

Feed Yourself Not Your Abusers

Essays
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙮. Find your best way to survive far beyond negativity. Negativity only feeds your cowardly abusers and takes needed strength and energy away from you for thriving.

Know Your Class

First Coffee Thoughts
I can always tell people who game and people who don't. I can't always tell people who have worked in a party system, especially one with strangers, and who hasn't. Learn your class.

Protect Your Peace

First Coffee Thoughts
Becoming a psychologist doesn't require any kind of moral grounding, it doesn't have any kind of psychological screening process. Letters after someone's name only means they test well, not that they live well or ARE well.

I Am Different Than You

First Coffee Thoughts
I think one of the fundamental differences between people who are considered neurodivergent or who have high functioning ADHD or other neurodifferences is foreground processing and hyper-awareness of that processing.

Social Media Has Made You Strange

First Coffee Thoughts
Social media is not life. It's a VERSION of life people choose because it's easier, it makes you feel like you have more control than in real life, and it makes you feel more brave when you want to do awful or very abnormal things.
