I was pretty glad that my reviews today aligned with the time when I finished work, so I could treat it as an extension of my work and I was done just after that xd
Since I haven’t slept well today either, I spent a lot of time going like “yyyy uuuhhh” though, I’m not sure I’m going to miss those much xd
But yeah, I hope I’ll get some rest tomorrow, as tomorrow’s forecast is less than 200, should be fairly relaxed. Comparatively, at least!
Garden of Hope from Pikmin 3, a track to which I owe a few of my level ups. I’m starting to realize that I really like mornings, I like the sun that goes up, the smell of the sea breeze early in the day, those things are among something I’d like to appreciate more.
YouTube lately is proposing me three types of videos that I wasn’t very much into, but for some reason the algorithm decided I might be into that, so I just keep on clicking to find out what this is about!
The first one is music compilations, often of lofi or music deemed inspirational. When I’m at work, I tend not to put up any music, but that’s mostly because I simply forget to do so xd
I use music to heal, so when I put up a playlist it’s usually because I want to escape to that fictional world. Despite me being very deep into social commentary videos, sometimes I just don’t want to keep up with whatever’s going on with the world, that’s why I’m glad those ones show up.
Speaking of keeping up with whatever’s going on with the world, the second type of videos is a direct antithesis to that - it’s videos that show people that live slowly and take their time to appreciate their life, either by studying, scrapbooking or simply having to live in the countryside. I’m so envious of those, I wish I was able to slow my life even just a bit, and there’s gonna be a chance to do so as soon as I’m done with WaniKani
Or not, because there’s a third type of videos, and that’s… investment advice videos.
This category really puzzles me because I have no idea how did I even get there, but it reinforces some of my fears in regards to saving up money, that the inflation is chewing through them and even a lazy portfolio would be better than just having a current account where you’d be accumulating some money. I don’t necessarily disagree with that, but the question is… why do I even get those videos in the first place? xd
Special shoutouts to @Saida who liked 9 of my posts today, very grateful xd
