In Which a Train of Thought is Kept Longer than it usually is... A short comment on the Nature of Work as well

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Tell me, how are you? How is the weather? For me, it is the coldest it has been in a year or so. 21 Celsius, and I must say, I love it. I want to enjoy every minute of it, it will likely not be as cold anytime soon. And I am okay, though again, a lot of mental turbulence due to specially loneliness. I am affected by trauma also, and I really prefer not to use such word, it risks raising the level of hyperbole, and devaluing the rest, but I have no other word for it, it is trauma, and it exhausts me, it is like a pike in my brain, I hate it, it hurts physically. Of course, when I write such vulnerable line, I risk attracting some bad thought by someone, that desires to analyze my every move. I don't like that. Instead, this is just about some sad events over the course of high school and hints of it after, with some bad interactions on social media. This is not to invite scrutiny over my ideals, they are my own in spite of the ...

In Which I talk about some of my pet peeves!

Good morning, friend! Happy Monday and I wish you the best! On the last couple of episodes of my life, I went to the house of grandma in hopes of helping my aunt with her Instagram stuff (more about Instagram later on the post), but it didn't go as I was planning, we just did some brainstorm, nothing came out of the paper, which is perfectly fine. I'll soon be moving to my new place, on the 22nd, if nothing bad happens, and I pray that it doesn't happen. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but my mom will take my cousin to the doctor with my other aunt. I will also finish my current module on school, and start a new one, and in college, my grades went fine overall! Except for one discipline, but it's because the teacher is dumb. Well, speaking of the online world. We should talk a bit about some pet peeves of mine.

One of the things that really annoys me is opening Instagram on impulse, it already starts there, and even worse, seeing all that barfing of info straight to my face. It used to be a cute social media for nice pics, I remember when it was unpretentious... I have no problem with people selling products, specially if I follow shops and brands, odds are it will happen, but when people beg you to get the stuff, when they call themselves "content creators" or "influencers", when they get on their knees pathetically asking you to see the post, like it, save it, send to a friend, well, I hate it! I hate those ads! I hate the promoted posts, and stuff! I have no problem with the algorithm, in the sense that at least it shows me what I want to see, for the most part, but, I don't know, people desperate to "hack" into it, like they rely on it to feed their families, like the step mother of Cinder-Ella, sending her daughters to dance with the prince, it's humiliating, the world of social media and publicity makes them look petty! I hate that, I hate the virtue signaling, the "please share this with your friends" like they're online beggars, like they rely on that to feed their families of falling aristocrats, or peasants wannabe patricians. You guys know how much I love the free market capitalism system, how much respect I have for empresarios, people that start business and so on, and I do believe the costumer is always right, that being said, ads are annoying as hell, and they don't have to be! I don't know, it's something I see a lot on brazilian stuff, that desperation, no self respect. And by that I don't mean, what some other stupid leftists think, that we should have palm trees instead of christmas trees and that we should not absorb what comes from foreign places, I like this variety on Brazil, how fast people embrace some trends, though that can go horribly wrong, like some wise man said "when an ideology gets old and frail it moves to Brazil", I don't know, I just hate the whole statism spectre so much, branching from the left, the socialism, the communism, the social democracy, and so on, to even the right, the moralist right that wants a tax on coke for example, on that they look so much like their rivals, on the left, it's because at the end of the day they are both on the left, the right, in my vision, would be the people that just want to be left alone, of course, everyone has their own look on left and right, some say the true battle is the state against the individual, the collective against the person, I also subscribe to that... In any case, I left one subject to other so fast!... I will probably write more about this in the future, this is just me venting... anyway, thank you so much for reading this, dear reader of this post! I hope to see you again real soon. I don't know if I'll be on my current bedroom when I write another post, I may be on my new one! But well, let's hope for a peaceful week!
