Thoughtful Thursday Curation Compilation #13

Only your Suggestions, loan, donation and support by @seunruth

Hello, everyone! It's Wednesday. We need to pay a dialysis bill for this week again since we're yet to make a completion of the funds for the transplant. We have gone around and what we could get is a few $ which still doesn't count much. It's actually a whole week with a lot of thinking and pondering

Perspective Shifty by @honeydue

(the title was actually a hurried typo, but I like it. ) Neil LaBute who is one of my favorite writers at the moment has an interesting idea, he thinks it's "the American thing" to keep one's eye to the future. When discussing an actor or a writer, he says, people are always interested in what that person is doing next. You rarely see an actor interviewed or whatever where they constantly talk about the things they did really well three years ago, and if you do, we tend to think oh he's lost his momentum a bit then. This, LaBute argues, creates a really unpleasant inner dialogue, because it keeps you so focused on what you're planning or working on next that it denies you the opportunity to celebrate an achievement

Changes that don't come | Thoughts by @soyunasantacruz

Change is the only thing that is constant. Nature changes sometimes silently and slowly, trying not to be perceived, sometimes abruptly and overwhelmingly, as when there is a volcanic eruption, a tsunami, a tornado, scaring everyone who contemplates it, but changes are what is always there and remains. Cambios que no llegan Reflexiones El cambio es lo único que es constante. La naturaleza cambia a veces en silencio y despacio intentando no ser percibida, otras veces de forma brusca y avasallante como cuando se produce una erupción volcánica, un tsunami, un tornado, asustando a todo el que lo contemple, pero los cambios es lo que siempre está y permanece. When I think of changes, I smile because I like them

Sketchbook 026 - Colourful Door Painting (With Video) by @hellsveiah

Hello and happy Tuesday! Finally, after almost four years of working on it on and off (and altogether quitting drawing for about two years) I have managed to finish painting the second biggest painting I have ever attempted. I first started this painting at the start of 2021, a few weeks after moving into this house, it was mostly a coping mechanism to help distract myself from a whole list of mostly anxiety based issues. I didn't bother with any process photos back then, so, to save time and the effort of telling a long, boring story, I will skip ahead to November of 2023, when I started working on this again. It was the first project i worked on after taking up my art hobby again

Mi Diario: 26 mayo 2024 // My Diary: May 26 2024 by @palomap3

Hola, querido hiver. He recibido mil y un golpes pero continuo sobre el cuadrilátero. Me mantengo en pie, luchando por lo que creo que es una buena opción de vida para mí. Sin imponerle nada a nadie. Respetando al tiempo que me hago respetar

New All-time High, Yet Unsatisfied by @olujay

I know people who type way faster than me. When people see my fingers hop all around the keyboard, especially if they aren't typists themselves, they think I'm faking it and not really typing anything for real. It usually happens when I am practicing, as that's when I often reach my top speeds. Somehow, it brings some resurfacing of the feeling of fulfilment when such happens, because no one could have said the same about me exactly two years ago, when I started to learn. And to think that I am now able to efficiently type without looking at the keyboard, or even blindfolded, means that I have actually accomplished a goal that I once set

The Mess by @minhajulmredol

I don't know why I am so idle about certain things or it is me who stays tense with the other things that doesn’t give me any peace of mind. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure I am losing myself slowly and steadily. You know? Me, As the most unorganized guy, my lifestyle is messed up like hell. You know what, it's been a month since I was told to drop a CV to someone whom I approached personally in the first place

FROM ME TO WE… by @hopestylist

"Life teaches us lessons in many ways, but one interesting fact is that despite how many of us have the opportunity to learn, only a few people really end up learning from it. We often just want to stick to what we already know or don't care to listen. We basically wake up every day with the mindset of doing what we want, what gives us joy, and what makes us happy, without caring whether it's okay to do so. Well, what matters most to us is the fact that we are happy, at least. We sometimes get too engrossed in doing what we derive joy from and end up not learning anything from life and from those around us

How can I explain!...No time | Reflections in my intimate space (En–Es) by @mafalda2018

Time is the most precious thing we have and yet most of us live as if we have all the time in the world". (Jardines del Renacer Oficial) The human being does not understand that he has no time and that the only thing that matters in this life are feelings and moments. We have to live before the wind blows everything away and only the pieces of what could have been and was not. For this reason we must enjoy the beauty that is around us, especially in the dawn, as a hope of life and new illusion. It is also important to fill our hearts with joy, love and gratitude

Tea for one by @becca-mac

I can't explain why but tea is something I really love. I have my favourite flavours and choose the one that seems most appropriate for the given moment enjoying the taste and aroma and the warmth of it, but it goes deeper than that. Sitting down to a cup of tea is an event whether I'm together with my guy, a friend, my mother and even by myself. It's a pause of sorts, a time to lock things away and out of reach, so I can find some peace of mind, clarity of thought or no thought at all. I could do that without tea certainly, although it seems easier with and tea is so yummy so those moments are usually accompanied by tea
