You have to believe that the sun will still shine no matter how dark the previous day, hour, minute, second, has been.

Hold on to the truth - this universal truth.

The day everything makes sense is the day you die; the days before that are the days wherein you live, cry, scream, fear, love - now.

I do not believe in the existence of a failed experiment [1]. I do believe that everyone is gifted [2]. So, experiment hard with what interests you most [3], & you will be rewarded, for the process is its own reward [4].

Most recent puzzle I worked on came with a missing piece. Or an additional piece. Either perspective works.

Felt rather irked. Put it aside for a couple days.

A few days later, I took matters into my own hands and filled the (once) empty hole with some decor leaves.

I like it better my way.

Sweet! Likewise, I'm especially pumped for Sarah's 1-230 talk later today😉

Charmaine Ng @charmaineng.bsky.social · Jul 24

Me too! Still can't fathom the sheer happiness and relief found in unprecedented resonance with you guys. Will you be joining us today (and/or tomorrow)?

Hands down my favourite slide and biggest takeaway from @steamtraen.eu's talk, made possible by @samwestwood.bsky.social and Nick's 2-hour sacrifice albeit on holiday.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

since change is the only constant in life, wouldn't embracing change = embracing life?

Temper fear with hope.

Charmaine Ng @charmaineng.bsky.social · Apr 21

Thank you so much!

Where's this from?

Trust your body and honour your flow.

If there's objectively nothing much/else within your control, remind yourself that you are safe and whole, come what may.

Your truth will prevail; it's solely a matter of time :)

- Kafka on the Shore (Haruki Murakami) --> fiction, lots of music refs (from Radiohead to Led Zeppelin to The Beatles to Beethoven...)

- Breaking Through: My Life in Science (Katalin Karikó) --> science, non-fiction

- The Secret History (Donna Tartt) --> fiction, conundrums re ethics/morality

Good morning! Saw your reply yesterday shortly before bed, was rooting for you in my heart. Hope all went well. In any case, it's a new day!

Yes! I can't help but see their inherent existence through schema lens (Young's schema theory).

Extending from what you said:
- Helena = punitive parent + detached protector
- Helly = impulsive, angry, and vulnerable child

∴ Severance = schema-rupture; severed self = cognitive dissonance in self

And family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten!

Thank you for your honest and informative insight. And for reminding me that hope does still exist.

Re discord suggestion, are there any particular groups/servers to recommend? Or were you solely referring to private chats on discord?
