Word of the Day: 走り
I actually sort of don't know what I am doing with food right now. I need to finish cleaning my fridge and I am just so tired. I also have food I need to eat before it spoils but because I have been in a calorie deficit for a while it feels too much even though it isn't.

SOME THOUGHTS ON PHILOSOPHY IN MY LIFE
Everyone needs a motto in life, but I myself yearn to find even more. Philosophy, which I cherish most, is something I always believe in; studying it is like exploring a treasure trove of profound wisdom. Why? Because, first and foremost, the name philosophy says it all: philosophy means wisdom (in Chinese), meaning love of intelligence (philosophy). What could be more joyful than having all the difficulties and obstacles in life resolved by a wise and intelligent "scholar"? Is that perhaps overestimating philosophy? I don't think so, because no one would name something without first defining it in their mind. And even if it were called "philosophy" when it was born, if it had been truly useless, lacking wisdom and intelligence throughout a long period of history, no one would be foolish enough not to rename such a multifaceted field of study.

My Last Story on Vocal Media
A new article came out about new changes coming to vocal. A lot of them were great rules and warranted rules. AI is taking over the art world and we need to get back to the simplicity of writing for ourselves again. Paying those who earn it is a must and a priority. However, I will not be able to pay the way to earn. I am a free user and will not be continuing on this site if I won't be getting paid because I can't pay. I wasn't just here for the payout, but man was it nice. I liked seeing that I was getting paid for my writing. Like I was actually an author. Big LOL on my part. I just can't afford to pay, so out the door I go.

The Two Years Since I was expelled for Protesting the Palestinian Genocide
Ran into one of the women that was on the conduct board that kicked me out of UT. Didn't know how big the wound was til I felt it split open right then at that moment. I was in honors. I was a great sociologist. I was beloved by my professors. I wanted to be like them, get a doctorate and all that. I had something I love, I had a purpose

Word of the Day: 火病
It is kind of funny, because I was going on about having fire sickness myself without realizing this was an actual thing. It actually sounds accurate to what I was experiencing, but luckily I don't live in a culture/area that is overtly suppressive to where it would aggravate this sort of condition.
