I really want to make music for a Playdate game.

What makes ‘toxic positivity’ different from a healthy attitude:

It’s important to understand that positive psychology interventions tend to most benefit those who are generally psychologically healthy already. In other words, people struggling with intense psychological problems or life circumstances probably won’t get the same benefits from positive psychology, compared with pursuing more established treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

My journey has been a pendulum swing, from the depths of depression in my teen years to a seemingly unshakeable optimism that would make Youth of Today proud. I even had ‘OPTI MIST’ tattooed across my knuckles, a symbol of my unwavering positivity, until I realized that ain’t it either. I’ve since blacked out the letters, a physical representation of my understanding that toxic positivity is not the answer.

I am generally happy and still tend to lean that way. It took years, though, for me to realize the importance of realistically feeling what I am feeling when I am feeling it.

Well this theme/color scheme is the most attractive that I have seen Obsidian. However, I installed it for the 4th time (I am dumb), tried it out again and deleted the app. I. Just. Can’t.

The 25th Shinnyo-en Memorial Day lantern floating at Ala Moana Beach this evening was beautiful. It was a nice surprise to see Hōkūleʻa there, and the dedication to the victims of the Lahaina fires, Ally Tamayose, and the flora and fauna of Hawaiʻi were deeply felt.

I kinda love how quiet my RSS feed is on Sundays and holidays. Gentle reminder that the internet isn’t always pumping 24/7. It has work hours.

Watching the high school graduation of the students who were in 4th grade when I started working at my current school. Tears of joy.

I am a massive fanboy. I do minor tweaks, install new extensions, and assign new keyboard shortcuts each day. Many became muscle memory, until then, little reminders inside the launcher help out.

This is the happiest I have ever felt using a computer.
