personally, that lights a fire under my ass sometimes. i find character driven and plot driven media both have their places, but the former has helped me a lot in terms of self-exploration. the artsier/more eccentric, the better imo.

i miss this, haven't gotten invested in a fictional world to the point where i'm thinking about it when i'm not actively reading / watching / whatever
what media do you find immersive enough that gives you that feeling? i think reading shorter books and watching more movies than tv is a part of it too, if i know it's going to end soon i don't spend the time to care about the characters as much
miss this and want to get it back

I've been called Leah Michelle for a bit because of my inability to coherently read and focus too much of my time on consuming Computer Science content. I started maybe reading what an introspective adolescent would read such as the Secret History by donna tart and The Bell Jar. It's really opened a can of words and had me really self assess on my personal "brand". Why is it so one-dimensional? Is it really just me trying to be different and quirky? Is the continous hunger to accurately define what I am cringe because that identity is not static? I think I kind of just want to get a snapshot of what I am right here right now. omg get a room, talk to a therapist likeย ๐. Sorry chat. Last week I really liked watching:ย I Saw the TV Glow, The Substance, Scavenger's Reign, SnowPiercer, and Moulin Rouge
Las week I really liked reading: Bell Jar, Secret History, 1, and I'm thinking of ending things. So much better than the movie.
