Whenever I have an annoying administrative task to attend to, I put on Bill Evans. Often itβs You Must Believe In Spring or Conversations With Myself but it could be any of his records really or just something he played on. His piano playing is deeply comforting to me and at this point has a Pavlovian effect on my concentration thatβs more powerful than Adderall.

And realising you still have so much to give - more figurative than literal.
Bill Evans Live '64 '75, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane - you are some of my fave things...

the best performance (imo) of my favorite jazz standard. most renditions of it are (appropriately) melancholic and introspective, but this one really escalates into a really dramatic and action-packed crescendo at the end that i really like

sometimes we just need a bit of self trust, even if we're wrong. the self-doubt becomes more consuming than any external search for understanding of the self. look inside with kindness to ourselves :)

Authors sometimes have their own dedicated subreddits where people are constantly discussing a text but if your reading a really specific book someone may do a writeup in r/books and if not probably some discussion on goodreads (as annoying as goods reads is , f*** amazon)
I like watching certain booktubers Tokyochemist is one of my favorites but theres a lot of booktubers who post frequently about books so just search up book reviews on Youtube.
Iβm in college so when Iβm looking for something more analytical I go to my schools library page and search for any literary analysis stuff (these can get pretty technical sometimes). After watching X-men 97β I found some really cool work on Rogue and repressed sexuality! I also found some interesting writing on Donnie Darko through here.
Hope this helps π
