What apps/software/tools can’t you live without?
Gmail + all the Drive apps, the whole Adobe Creative Suite, Spotify, YouTube. Y’know, the basics.
I went to Barnes & Noble with my sister a couple weeks ago during a really rainy day. We had wanted to go on a walk, but the weather had other plans for us. She suggested, as an alternative activity, something that we used to do a lot as kids: go to a bookstore, have a seat, and read indefinitely. The weather was perfect for something like this.
She grabbed a coffee. I don’t drink coffee, so I didn’t get anything. We found two chairs and set up by the big set of windows at the front-facing side of the store, overlooking the parking lot. She had in her lap three high-intermediate French language books—she’s learning her third language, she’s already fluent in Spanish. I, on the other hand, have immense difficulty learning languages, so I opted for fiction instead.
I’ve never made a review post before, but I really enjoy these books, and you might enjoy them too. I’ll start out with one I actually haven’t finished yet, but I already love:
There’s a mixture of things that influence the decisions I make, some of them good and some of them I’d honestly like to fix. I’ll go with the ones I want to gain and enhance in this list.
1: patience
2: forgiveness
3: independence
4: financial security
5: empathy
Sometimes I struggle to see the difference between anger and righteous fury in myself. I have faith in my morals and when I see injustice of any kind it really gets to me. This can be good or bad, because standing up for what’s right is noble, but being angry can deter rationality. This is why patience and forgiveness are so important for me to gain and enhance.
Hi everyone! I made a long-form post on my LinkedIn page. Check it out here! It’s a little insight into my creative thought process and an examination of why I focus on the genre I prefer.
