Stoicism: The Ancient Philosophy That's Guiding Today's Changemakers

Have you ever found yourself caught in the whirlwind of life’s difficulties, seeking a beacon of stability? Well, you’re not alone. Some of the most influential figures of our time (and times past) have turned to an ancient philosophy known as Stoicism to navigate the tumultuous seas of existence. Yes, Stoicism – the time-tested wisdom that teaches us the value of self-control, resilience, and…

Jezri actually reminds me of my absolute NOTP in another fandom, which I hate to bits largely because the common fanworks and shipping content involving them flattens them into bland happily romantic nothingness, and treats them as such a set pair that I can't escape fans of one or the other without running into them being erased of their emotional issues and trauma so they can hold hands and be soulmates.

I would ADORE that other pairing if people explored their codependency, shared trauma, how they're prone to feeding into each others worst traits, their shared self sacrificial natures and insistence on shouldering burdens that should not be theirs, and that while they love each other and CAN be good for each other, their canonical dynamic is two people with serious issues who often cling to their relationship with each other to ignore how unhealthy they can be.

Jezri, being a last minute hookup and not particularly popular in the fandom, does not have this problem, and it really does make me think about how my actual most hated ship dynamic is any kind that flattens out all the depth of characters for bland romantic fluff.

My fatigue has been getting worse, and it really affects my hygiene. The only thing I can do consistently is wash my hands after using the bathroom. I rarely brush my teeth, and I struggle so much with washing my hair and body. I don't actually know how to properly and efficiently wash my body, and honestly, I don't have the energy to learn.

I struggle so much with cleaning myself and I'm really ashamed of it. Going out with greasy hair makes me feel bad. Smelling worse than others because of a condition that I can't control that makes me sweat more makes me feel bad. Being dirty makes me feel bad.

I've had no support, help, or accommodations for this which has led to me simply not doing it. I can't just suck it up and do it despite the struggle. I can't just tough through it. If I don't get the support I need or find adapted ways to make it possible (which don't work every time), then it just doesn't get done.

I hate having to rely so much on my parents (who are also my carers), but I've had to ask my mom if she'd help wash me if I asked for help. She said yes, thankfully, but I hate losing more of my independence, even if it's necessary for me to live.

Hara hachi bu is a Confucian teaching often associated with Okinawan culture and the eating habits of the people of Okinawa, Japan.

It translates to "eat until you are 80% full." This philosophy emphasizes mindful eating, moderation, and stopping before feeling completely full.

The culinary significance of Hara hachi bu lies in promoting good digestion, maintaining a healthy weight, and overall well-being.

It is believed to help prevent overeating, reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases, and promote longevity.

By practicing Hara hachi bu, individuals can savor their food, listen to their body's natural hunger cues, and cultivate a deeper connection with what they eat.

From a mystical perspective, Hara hachi bu is a way to achieve balance and harmony with nature and the universe through mindful eating practices.

I like bluesky for an alternative to sims twitter but I really don’t like it for anything else because it feels like I’m in my room with a permanently open window and millennials wanna act like it’s a big groupchat with no fucking decorum

Went over to my best friend's place to do her hair, she told me she's pregnant again, had to wrap my head around that, a few hours later I get a call from a sibling telling me the entire family is fighting so I gotta rush home and fix that. All in all, an insanely exhausting day
