asking more than one person, having an open mind, carefully considering radically different perspectives from your own, giving other viewpoints a fair chance. this includes emotional matters & practical affairs as well
most people like giving advice, but few people feel enough trust and willingness to be vulnerable they'll ask for it. being unsure is value neutral, it's perfectly alright not to be sure what to do next.

In pickled times, I seek counsel. People would obligingly give me their take. I would almost always not take it. But gradually as it sinks down I'm like ok - let's try that.

I was told once I give good advice, and I think about that when I doubt myself. Sometimes itβs easier to trust your gut, when you know the people you love trust it also. Thats always stuck with me.

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc.
It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes.
We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
