i cannot stress this enough my hatred for this is so passionate because unsolicited advice genuinely makes me want to drive into a wall!!!!
also may or may not be directed at old people who are more susceptible to this!!!! this doesn't benefit the receiver at all!!!
i hate it when people can just assume that they give advice right off the bat β hello??? like time and place??? nuance??? the actual need/urgency/the act of actively seeking out for advice???
people who give unsolicited advice honestly just have the intention to insult a person in the most passive-aggressive way....
the existence of unsolicited advice genuinely MAKES SO MAD BECAUSE IT DARES TO TRY TO TAKE SAME SPACE AS THE SINCERE ACTS OF SEEKING COUNSEL AND RECEIVING WELL-MEANING ADVICE... ππ it is the bane of our existence and the sharing of knowledge is something so sacred and beautiful... not whatever this shit is....

Donβt follow it! Nothing to make you feel self assured like being advised to do something you know is pointless or wrong

(specifically behavioural experiment β really putting my psych degree into good use huh?)
i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks
look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens
i don't even have to stick to it β this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all β i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible
the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant)
if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible...
we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!

absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left?
in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life
there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too
