Walt Disney Records has re-released the entire score of the Walt Disney Animation Studios short "Destino" in digital music platforms.

"Destino" was storyboarded by Walt Disney Animation Studios artist John Hench and artist Salvador Dalí for eight months in late 1945 and 1946, but production ceased not long after Walt Disney Studios was in financial difficulty in the World War II era. The project would be revived by Roy E. Disney in 1999 which released in 2003.

i don't know what to feel about this but it has made me think about life a little more the past week.

[mmurklins]

I have spent the past decade missing the person I used to be. The unapologetic intensity I used to have for everything and anything that mattered to me. It felt like I was much more of a person, with my own thoughts and opinions and interests, then I went to college, got myself a boyfriend, and I’ve been erasing myself trying to please ever since.

I’m finally learning to allow myself to exist after spending my entire 20s sanding off every edge that I have trying to fit into someone else’s mold.

 …I came to see that movement is one of the great laws of life. It is the primary medium of our aliveness, the flow of energy going on in us like a river all the time, awake or asleep, twenty-four hours a day. Our movement is our behavior; there is a direct connection between what we are like and how we move…As people begin to move in their own way, they are faced with feelings of surprise and delight and often of anxiety and embarrassment. Judgments, corrections and explanations are of no use. It is their movement, and it happened just that way.

I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.

You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.

And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.

[miseriathome]

Even requited attraction doesn't need to be acted upon. Two people can be mutually attracted to each other and still decide not to date or not to change the dynamic of their friendship. People who are dating can mutually decide it worked better as a friendship, even if the attraction persists.

Feelings are just feelings. Not all feelings need to be realized as actions. It's very mature and cool to still treat people like people even after learning about their feelings, whatever they are.

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

trying to start this journaling thing again. lately, overconsumption has made me feel like i need an outlet of some sort to distill my thoughts before they blur together and take over. actively trying to read and watch long form content the past couple of months has helped to slow me down in a good way. i feel calmer. more myself

maybe that's what has been missing in the last decade of me jumping from one thing to another. somewhere along the way, i became overly performative, too intuned with every else's energy that i forgot my own rhythm. only recently does it feel like i can breathe again. i'm learning what i like and what i don't, which feels embarrassinly like meeting myself for the first time. funny how it takes a whole two years of being alone to learn how to actuaclly be with yourself.

now that i feel less guilty about carving out solitude, i want a better way to put my thoughts down, to refine them so that they aren't just surface-level impressions or shower thoughts. the way i see it is that, i have too many questions and not enoungh answers. i ruminate compulsively, circling the same ideas from different angles, as if repetition alone might force some clarity. i tell myself this is reflection. but really, it's avoidance.

i think i'm afraid to figure it out, of being known - afraid of discovering that i don't have fully formed thoughts of my own, that whatever coherence i do have is just residue regurgitated from whatever i have consumed. the past week, this fear has kept resurfacing, in what i read, in what i watch, in the quiet panic of realizing how fast time is moving and how much of life i still haven't lived or documented.

i say i want a certain kind of life. so why do i refuse to even outline it?

forming a vision feels more dangerous than failing to reach one. to want something clearly would mean admitting that i haven't been 'figuring it out' all this while. i've been stalling for time, and here i am chasing after it. commitment feels violent because it collapses ambiguity. once i name a direction, i become accountable to it. if i commit and it doesn't happen, then failure becomes legible. public. real.

overconsumption isn’t overstimulation for me. it’s anesthesia.

i've told myself that uncertainty is humility, that opennes is wisdom. but often it's just fear dressed up. questions let me feel deep without obligating action. they give me motion without direction.

i also realise how much of this hesitation is relational. i've been afraid of how wanting things too clearly might disrupt the people around me. for years, i mistook self-erasure for maturity. i buried myself in relationships and activities that drained me because endurance felt virtuous. being 'understanding', 'patient', 'reasonable' became my armor. it made me feel strong. but strong for whom?

nobody who mattered was watching.

i’m only now seeing how much time i spent avoiding desire altogether. digging a kind of internal black hole so i wouldn’t have to confront what it would take to fill it. i thought not wanting was safer. neutral. but it wasn’t neutrality. it was abdication.

the truth is, nobody cares how i live my life as much as i once imagined. every image i tried to present fractured anyway, refracted through other people’s projections. the only people worth attracting are the ones aligned with what i actually want. assuming i ever let myself want it.

the cost of not choosing wasn’t freedom. it was erosion. and i’ve already paid for it in years.
