1) when getting things done: the connective tissue of human relationships is at least of equal importance as the technical merits of a solution 2) in relationships: over and explicit communicating is never bad 3) always be an optimist - the world has always had problems, and not every problem will be solved in my lifetime - so push the needle, and live happily. *spacing
1. Work-life balance is more important than money. 2. Don't trust your company to do right by you even if you really believe that they will. Only you can look out for you. 3. Cannabis is medicine.
1) Health start becoming your nr1 priority around the age 40. I wish I exercised more, did more yearly blood tests checks and was more considerate around my diet. 2) That one should be thankful for what they have
I quit the highest-paying job I've ever had to work for peanuts on a political campaign. It didn't lead to the new job opportunities I was hoping for and the job I got after the election does pay anywhere close to what the previous one did, but I have no regrets. It was the coolest thing I've ever been part of, and the new job, though less well paid, is more fun, more fulfilling and less stressful.
In the last year I've learned about the worth of a man, how big a burden a family can bear, and the extraordinary lengths a mother will go to save her dying child. Last July, I was fired from my dev job. This was a shock to me as I had been seen as a high performer at my last job. Well, my last job before my last job at least. I was scared, confused, and really down on myself after this happened. I'd quit the job bef…
Anyone can run, you just need to reset your expectations. Backstory. I used to not like running at all. Every time I ran, my mind would count down either time left or distance left. It always felt easy in the beginning but very soon would be unattainable. But now I can run decent distances without getting mentally or physically exhausted. So here are the lessons: 1. The first 1 mile is the hardest. 2. Second mile is…
I’ve been doing 1 miles after my strength workouts ~3x a week, and it hasn’t gotten much better. Been doing it for about 2 months.
granted I just got fired yesterday because i guess i just wasn't good enough at it and too slow. what a wonderful birthday present! but that transitions to my next point: just because something happens that society would generally deem as bad or undesirable, doesn't mean you have to get caught up in depression or anxiety over it. what happens, happens. sure it sucks i lost my job especially given my situation currently, but hey, I'm still alive and still have the chance to find something else. the problem is never unsolvable no matter how much your mind tries to tell you that it is. all that you need to do is simply just choose to act. not doing so is what contributes to being trapped in the depression and anxiety that have driven my life for longer than I can remember.

From my experience, cannabis can be medicine but most people just smoke bad stuff they don't know or get addicted to either real cannabis or the bad stuff. Cannabis unlike, say mushrooms, is addictive so watch out. It can make one crave, especially if they experienced neglect, bullying, or violence in childhood. Enjoy it with moderation! :)
that being said, i do think people should be careful with their consumption and make sure that they are actually using it for what they claim and not just using their claims as a false justification for just mindless consumption. that isn't to say that recreational consumption is bad, because in that context it isn't mindless, it is specifically being done for recreational purposes. but ultimately it's just important that one is doing what they actually want to do and not just pretending to want to do it for some ulterior motive

How often did you run starting out? I’ve been doing 1 miles after my strength workouts ~3x a week, and it hasn’t gotten much better. Been doing it for about 2 months.
