I love writing essays for school. (and out of school) Though depending on the context. I love doing narritives or research papers, but they have to be in a field I know at least a good amount of knowledge to write about. I recently had to write an autobiography using Erikson's 8 Stage Developmental Theory of Crisis for a child development class. While this assignment did cause me to have PTSD, I had fun writing this section that wasn't really assigned, but I felt that I needed to include. I made a section called "Revising Erikson's Theory" as I felt the theory was great for its time, as psychology was a new feild for people to explore. But in 2018, its broad, vague and discriminatory towards a large group of people. When my peers asked how my paper was going, I told them about this section and they were floored by how much effort I put into this.What sorts of things do you really enjoy doing that most people typically avoid or complain about?
You will like Marie Kondo clothing folding methods. I fold my T-shirts that way and I can see every color of every shirt in a drawer without ever lifting anything. They are folded small, stood on end with the fold up like a book. more time but not much. It makes folding a highly organized art form.Dishes and laundry! Love em’!
You must be my clone.I enjoy repetitive things a lot. I also like to find short cuts (some call these things "hacks"), that make life more efficient, that save time and energy (especially energy)...
Many people don't "enjoy" taking care of their finances... I like to make sure I pay all my bills on time, and or before time. I dislike any "fees" that are created because of my not caring to handle my bills. I sort of play games with credit cards... I will get a card (or look for a card) that has a zero transfer balance fee (or very low transfer fees), and zero interest for a year, and then transfer another card balance to that card and pay off an older card debt with zero interest, thus freeing up my old card (now with zero balance), and raising my credit score, each time.
I like to prep my meals for the whole week, and already have them in microwaveable/sealable lunch trays.
I'm not a fan of microwaves, but at work its about all I can do. I like to eat healthy (mostly)...
I like to not waste my life laying around mindlessly watching netflix, or wasting life on social media (at all)... This is my only so called "social media." I would rather spend my time learning something, or practicing something to get better.
I like to wash my own clothes... I actually like it a lot. I have this "thing" with Tide, double downey, and 3 Bounce sheets... Its amazing, and my clothes, sheets, towels, etc. smell like some little corner of heaven.
I also like my house very clean, (many people hate cleaning up their own messes... I'm a neat freak, plus I never have to be embarrassed when someone shows up unexpected. I make my bed right when I get up. I do my dishes at every meal , or at least have them in the dishwasher, basically already washed.
I Like my vehicles clean. I have to pick people up at the airport and stuff at times. I like my body clean...
I don't want to look, or feel like, some one who doesn't take care of the LIFE I have been given.
I like to take care of what I have, and not have things that I don't need in life.
I'm sort of a minimalist, but not in the way it is often explained,
nor am into the minimalist fad thing at all.
Meanwhile people are out shoving through crowds, restaurants, and cinemas, so they can buy their trinkets and junk food, see a movie to escape reality, and be fed a mix of MSG, GMO's, and who knows what else, like they are cattle in a feed pin... only to go home and plop down, and veg out... Normal is odd to me. : )
I like my weird life actually... It just needs to happen in a forrest, in the mountains, in a cabin overlooking the sea... There is basically very few places on earth where that can be a reality. In the US, that would be Oregon, or Washington state and I am trying to make that a reality, with San Diego (Alpine) as a back up plan if needed.
For now, I'm in this 108 degree hell on earth... Come on early Fall, tomorrow would be great, please and thank you! The heat wipes me out really fast... : )
