    I’ve been slowly chipping away at a post about how journaling has helped me and the various little “journaling activities” that are actually helpful instead of time-sucking trash. Now I’ve had to throw that draft away because this video covers nearly all of my tips and adds some that I haven’t considered but that I…

    Hi! My first song is out on Spotify! Listen here. I’m mostly proud that I somehow gathered enough courage to actually share this. Hopefully as I learn more about music I’ll be putting out better songs. But TBH this one has grown on me.

    "This class will probably ruin movies for you." That was the first thing said by my teacher during my first film class in high-school. Basically, creating the habit of analysing (and often "over analysing") movies would ruin them for me. Movies would no longer be something I can just shut my brain off for and…

    I recently discovered (literally not five minutes ago) that it’s possible to edit github repositories through a web interface? With all the push/pull/commit bullshit as well? Absolutely incredible.

    This is mostly a “note to self” type of post that I hope somebody else might relate to. I had an idea for a small art project. I checked online to see if someone else has done something similar. “Computer says no.” So, I took that idea and made it happen. And it was shit.…
