Oh i love this concept!
I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.
(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)
I love the diversity of self-sustainable life! I never have to do the same thing 2 days in a row! Every day I’m learning new things and gaining new skills, and each one I learn will provide me with a different option and gain in the future!
Last week I was all about canning sour cherries but this week I discovered some wild plums and figured I could make them into jam, so I started to get on that! But, then while removing seeds I realize they’re very watery inside, and that I could probably make a very easy freshly squeezed juice out of them, so I did! And guess what! It’s awesome! I got to try a new variety of fresh squeezed juice just because I accidentally discovered the fruit on my way foraging around! How cool is that!
And I’ll get a wild plum jam which is also an item that I’ve never seen, tried, experienced or is available at the store. That’s just neat!
I’m finding mint and rhubarb and eating cucumbers for the first time this year!
And then next week I’ll probably have bunch of tomatoes and will be trying out all tomato recipes I’ve been missing from last summer, and I might try new recipes too! And this year I will have enough green beans to try drying them, I am dying to see how that turns out. I’m already drying zuchinni because I found out this winter that it tastes incredible in a sauce!
And it’s not all food-related activities, last week I got some unwanted clothes from a friend, was able to keep some, and send some to other friends who I knew could use it - I also gained new sewing materials that way, and I could make another shirt now, or use it to put together a rug or a rope!
I also went looking into nettle more, and found out that old people used to use it to fight joint pain, and they would purposefully sting their wrists and ankles and pained joints with nettle, because it improved circulation and nerve function. I thought, well maybe that would work for me, and tried it on one wrist, and it was pretty funny because it only hurt for the first few seconds, and then my wrist didn’t exactly hurt that day, but it was prickly and weird and then I realized it was just one annoyance replaced with another, and this was probably a trick for actual old-age joint pain, not psychosomatic pain I experience. But I tried it and it was fun! I’m going to look into willow as a pain-relief next.
I also found out that in some cold climates, you can grow potatoes in the fall then keep them in the soil thru all winter, how cool is that! That’s something worth trying!
How exciting is that? Instead of having to repeat a job every day, to constantly be about new stuff, having a different type of activity and learning experience every single day? And all of the activities are volountary, if you don’t go looking for a specific plant or you don’t go planting it, you just don’t have that, and life goes on! None of it is punished, you cannot get fired, you make what you want to have and what you find fun to make. This is enriching life!
Que priorices diferentes cosas de los que priorizan ellos no te hace peor, ni mejor. Que la sociedad dicte lo que le de la gana, que hasta que no sueltes tu último suspiro NO DEJES DE SER TÚ.
Si tienes las aspiraciones que tienes será porque es lo que te ha tocado sentir, vivir, NO TE SILENCIES ni lo dejes de lado.
Por favor, que aún queda muchísimo por hacer para sentirnos queridos y aceptados por todos. La falta de amor provoca inseguridades, envidias, odio y pura negatividad.
AMA quien eres realmente, no te reprimas, y ama al Universo, acepta a todos, sin excepciones. Llenemos ese vacío de negatividad con ese tanto amor que no os imagináis que tenéis, que lo tenéis, porque es infinito.
(Recordatorio para mí y para todos quienes sueñan con un mundo mejor.)
Tengo una batalla en mi cabeza desde hace años. Una guerra que no puedo ganar. A veces la pospongo porque ni fuerzas quedan para luchar. A veces me clavan por la espalda cuando menos me lo espero. Mis propias sombras. El bando enemigo.
A veces huyo a los del lado contrario. Ahí no me juzgan. Ahí me puedo hacer pasar por una de mis sombras y sin darme cuenta acabo luchando contra mi misma.
Últimamente se me olvida volver.
Dicen que uno muere cuando lo olvidan. A ella le prometieron ser eterna, y mírala, así se quedará: eternamente sin vida.
Moriría por su sonrisa.
