today

i am done dreaming. I am so tired of dreaming but never actually getting closer to what I want. I am so disappointed in myself for allowing myself to continue on this way not really living, just meandering through life like a lifeless zombie. I am done being a burden and a waste. today is when my life begins.

...merry christmas

Navigating the chaos of young adulthood with a laptop in one hand and a coffee in the other. Sharing snippets of tech life, personal growth, and the little wins that make it all worth it.

Welcome to my teeny-tiny space on this vast internet. I’d be glad if you stick around and say hi!

Welcome text ✨

Far away, long ago, there was a girl...

Okay, i'm not a writer 👀!

I would like to invite you to my life, where things can go chaotic as I emerge with the rat race in a small city, trying to balance life, semiconductor engineering, MBA studies, content creation, and all my hobbies 😗

Here are some active items in my life:

My work, my passion: semiconductor engineering 🦕. I've been in this field for 10 years already, and surely, I'll stay here more as the understanding that I drive the innovation loop in changing technological nodes is so dear to me. I've started as an engineering factory intern and created my path to becoming a senior specialist in one of the market's leading companies. Yes! I'm very proud of myself 👀

MBA. If you'd like to ask how I ended up in this situation, I'd like to say it in advance: I have no idea what drove me to start an MBA 👀. It just happened, and I'm happy to investigate new areas and opportunities the MBA introduces. 🥰

content creation. This is a relatively new area of my life. In 2020, I started a Twitch channel and started to stream Sims gameplay, then my Instagram appeared, and now, finally, I got TikTok and a YouTube channel that I'm afraid of. I don't have a big audience, but I love what I do and plan to improve. 😗✨

Family 🤍 I'm married, and someday we'll extend our little family... so yes, I need time for this too!

Travelling My budget is quite tight, so this part of my life is not that developed, and because I live in a developing country that needs a visa to enter almost every country, I struggle with this a lot. But I feel more alive when traveling, so I try to develop this area of my life too.

self care Simply, I'm afraid of doctors and medicine. So I do exercise quite a lot to keep my body in good condition, I do have special care for my teeth to avoid dentists, and I do have special care for my mind, because I do believe that a healthy body can be reached only when your mind is healthy as well. And I do a medical check-up every 6 months, as it is better to monitor your health, rather than find out something serious in later stages. I do prioritize sleep because sleep is essential for a healthy hormonal cycle, especially for families, and because when I do not get enough sleep, I can be pretty moody and aggressive.

hobbies I do play guitar, I love hiking (preferably not in spring because I'm afraid of insects, and they are relatively active in spring), I love eating, yes, it is a hobby to me, and of course gaming✨ That was all nice to meet you all 🥰

I thought it looked a little too castle-y on my first try, so I re drew it with less emphasis on copying the style of my ref, and then looked more into mud house architecture.

Much prefer the new version!

Post coffin Daisy my fucking fav

Drawing her so much thinner with the mussel atrophy almost broke me

[defensivelee]

why does every queer turn into a redpilled anti-woke far-right comedian fan the moment you tell them they're intersexist like 'stop inventing new terms 🤡🤡 why is everything a slur now 🤡🤡🤡 that one friend that's too woke 🤡🤡' like it's actually surreal how often it happens. i desperately want to know what makes them think that shits okay.

how do you write a liar?

How to Write Liars Believably

Language

The motive of every goal is the make the lie seem plausible while taking blame off the speaker, so liars will often project what they say to a third party: "Katie said that..."

Referring to third parties as "they" rather than he or she

In the case of a deliberate lie prepped beforehand, there will be an overuse of specific names (rather than pronouns) as the speaker tries to get the details right.

Overuse of non-committal words like "something may have happened"

Masking or obscuring facts like "to the best of my knowledge" and “it is extremely unlikely," etc.

Avoiding answers to specific, pressing questions

Voice

There's isn't a set tone/speed/style of speaking, but your character's speech patten will differ from his normal one.

People tend to speak faster when they're nervous and are not used to lying.

Body Language

Covering their mouth

Constantly touching their nose

fidgeting, squirming or breaking eye contact

turning away, blinking faster, or clutching a comfort object like a cushion as they speak

nostril flaring, rapid shallow breathing or slow deep breaths, lip biting, contracting, sitting on your hands, or drumming your fingers. 

Highly-trained liars have mastered the art of compensation by freezing their bodies and looking at you straight in the eye.

Trained liars can also be experts in the art of looking relaxed. They sit back, put their feet up on the table and hands behind their head.

For deliberate lies, the character may even carefully control his body language, as though his is actually putting on a show

The Four Types of Liars

Deceitful: those who lie to others about facts

2. Delusional: those who lie to themselves about facts

3. Duplicitious: those who lie to others about their values

Lying about values can be even more corrosive to relationships than lying about facts. 

4. Demoralized: those who lie to themselves about their values

Additional Notes

Genuine smiles or laughs are hard to fake

Exaggerations of words (that would normally not be emphasized) or exaggerated body language

Many savvy detectives ask suspects to tell the story in reverse or non-linear fashion to expose a lie. They often ask unexpected, or seemingly irrelevant questions to throw suspects off track.

Twilight moments with you

bwoah

[devonhale]

actually one of the most beautiful things about hacks is that we can be changed by anyone and at any period in our lives. deborah was in her forties when ava was born. she’d lived a life longer than ava’s before ava even existed yet they both have had a profound effect upon each other. it’s never too late. you haven’t met all of the people who are going to change you yet.

a work in progress, for those of you who like that sort of thing :)

i hope you can find it in yourself to be kinder to yourself today than you were yesterday
