Alright, I think I’ll just leisurely, lazily type out an article in a super luxuriously laidback slacking position before I go for lunch. Heh.
So a list! It’s kinda inspired by the Japanese podcast I listened to last night where Miku sensei also came up with a list of 7 about her growth. Well in the end she split it up into two episodes and I only listened to the first but still. And hey, isn’t there also that song by Miley Cyrus called 7 things? Lol.
Anyway, without further ado, let’s begin.
- Idyllic community
It is so perfect when you’re in a community and there’s a light, easeful sense of being! Two examples come to mind. One was my usual Japanese meetup online. Man, do I really feel great there. So it kinda feels like a safe space where I can just fully be myself and not get judged, and then also the fun activities we do together and the enjoyment it brings… In a sense I feel I’d pay for it even. Lol.
Another would be, well, the theatre class I supposed. There was a process group not long ago where we got to choose whatever activities we wanted to do, and I gave this suggestion, and we proceeded in this gam-ish? series of things and man, did we have fun. It was the life! Ultimate enjoyment. So one crucial element we embodied that might be a rare trait, idk, is that of not needing productivity or anything and simply enjoying do-whatevers.
Just passing our time together like that in sweet pleasure, totally forgetting about the world and all possible problems that might have been haunting us – man, I see that as totally the epitome of being yo. Want more of this!
2. Freedom to fully be myself
Well, in a sense this kind of overlaps because isn’t that what these communities do! But in a sense though, I’m referring more to me spending! my time at home here. So it’s like a daily life thing okay.
So in a sense, it’s not exactly that my style is super cramped or anything but well, I do envision myself having the freedom to expand in this area once I eventually move out on my own and start a family.
For instance… well just a small and slightly inane example. I actually bought this cool Naruto pillow last year on Shopee? But my mother took one look at it, says it’s so bloodthirsty and went and looked it up in the storeroom. I mean, I can’t say I agree, but it’s not someting that infringes on my bottom line exactly nor is the pillow that important to me – I just wanted to decorate and accessorise the place in a comfortable manner ya know. Therefore I was just like whatever, you do what you want and forget!! completely about it.
Or even… uh, I’ve never worn contact lenses in my life before. I’m quite sure it’s probably also rather related to how the household is, the culture and all of that. And I kinda do get the feeling that I might at the very least also want to kinda turn it into an option in the book in the future hah lolz.
I’m pretty much just totally remaining stagnant and not exploring my style at all right now see. In a total!! comfort zone position but I’m still fine with that for now yep. After all I have many other zones in which I can pour my attention and efforts so it’s totally a-okay for me!
3. Money
My money style is super conservative as are my parents’. For me I kinda just associate it to Taurus rising.
For instance, if money was totally out of the question, I’d totally want to continue singing lessons like I was taking back in 2022. But for now because of these ahem input-output balance issues I’m just totally being conservative and not doing it. It’s also totally out of respect for my parents’ comfort zones tbh!
Though tbh if I was to be truly honest about it and check my bank account… yoyuu da zo I’d say to me! There’s surplus and it is quite comfortable! But yep, my personal preference is a nice balance so! Whatever I’ll just wait a few months!
And another thing is that technically I kinda wince inside whenever I see expensive food even though technically I can totally afford it and it’s not that expensive tbh and the food itself makes up the bulk of what I spend anyways.
If you’ve got money, why don’t you spend it? Are you gonna just die without using it? So this is the honest truth that I totally know, but anyways, inner peace is the most important!! so I obviously still see maintaining my inner peace as my number one factor! using money.
Or maybe I still have a little bit of conditioning to work on. Idk. But ultimately though, I still envision that in the not-so-far future I won’t actually have to be so hands-tied when it comes to spending money. I mean, technically it’s totally yoyuu da zo! I mean, compared to some others… huh, whatever.
Anyway, next!
4. Delicious food
See, this is something that sometimes comes up between me and my parents. My parents ask if I wanna go overseas and I say hey, Singapore is totally the same! Just eat nice food!
See, I kinda feel like when my parents are overseas they become very free in spending money on food. Why can’t they do the same thing here then! Like, see, for me, food is the number one enjoyment of going overseas k!
Well, I mean if I were to dig deep, maybe there’s also stuff like Northern Lights, Milky Way, even Antarctica?
But I still kinda feel that for me food is the number one enjoyment of going overseas and hey isn’t it totally the same if we let loose and have really delicious food here lol.
I mean I totally wouldn’t mind going on a cruise and not even disembarking the ship during the duration of it even. My only concern is… um…. eating too much and putting on too much weight orz. But still. I’d totally like a life where I can be more liberal with food spending and enjoying food in the daily life. Yep like totally man. Oishii ryouri tabetai na!!!
5. Feeling of being recognised and applauded
So it’s not that I need external validation. I used to, a lot more. But it’s like you know, Moon in 10th house? Nowadays I’m totally fine without it I guess. However, it feels really good when someone actually sees what you are doing and applauds you for it, figuratively so. I mean, I’ve heard it being said also that sometimes people feel threatened and so they won’t applaud you. It’s much easier to do so for the weak characters as your self is just dispensing charity feelsgood. Idk.
I mean, I won’t go on about tu9s s
Omg what da heck just happened the keyboard on this old laptop borrowed from my mother totally stopped working. My own laptop totally died several weeks back so… I guess this is a sign to go get one for myself soon sigh… But anyway, quick intermission. I’ll just quickly finish this up and go for lunch yep.
6. Actual like-minded people in general
You know, it’s so awesome when you have like-minded people that you really resonate you. They can understand you, see where you’re coming from and support you. I’ll get some of these sooner or later! Of course these isn’t saying that the people in my life right now suck! or anything yeah!
I also have to consider picking up the practice of DM-ing random people who I don’t know on social media I guess. I mean, the internet is supposed to enable globalisation and be the enabler of connectivity, so isn’t it a waste if I’m not making full use of it like that? Hmm. Ah hermit mode has to end sooner or later so.
So the difference between these and the aforementioned communities, hm. I suppose those communities are just where you let loose and enjoy! together. Here though? It’s where actual people who are also committed to expansion in their day-to-day life band together, inspire one another.
7. Live the multipotentialite dream
So I thought long and hard before finally managed to think of a 7th. Now this is kinda like freedom too in a sense, but rather than freedom to fully be myself, it’s more like financial freedom and freedom to experience!! LIFE itself to its epitome.
So it’s living the multipotentialite dream.
Some projects that I’d like to do at least once in the future:
Voice act a character (I mean, professionally in a show or something, not just leisurely at-home like now)
Write the story/plot-line for a game and help with the worldbuilding (Yeah maybe even totally worldbuild and write a whole rich novel too? Idk)
Act in an actual drama or movie (Of course, not as an extra been there done that, but as an actual character with at least a bit of weight please!)
What else? Hmm.
Anyways, all this would, of course, be more on the side as I still fulfilled my main duties too of course. Paid to exist? Idk. But anyway this is ideal innit!
………………………..
Anyways, we have come to the end of this article. Sure, the end was a bit rushed. Still yeah, I suppose we do have to mention some key concepts once before I go for my lunch. To round off everything nicely peeps!
So the external things you seek to fulfil you with – actual, what you truly desire is naught but those bolstered states of being they place you in! A partner makes you feel loved. A big car, big house makes you feel very worthy and valuable. A community makes you feel like you belong! And so on and so forth.
I started out by thinking of some external things I wanted that would really fill me. And then I realised – hey, isn’t it the exact same thing that I have been receiving from my Japanese hobbyist group already??? And so, ultimately, what I desire is naught but more of this very state of being that it puts me in…
So rather than repeat, repeat and repeat, I simply used it as an anchor point! And then I tell the universe! Dear universe, I really love this! Please bring more of it to me!
And the universe only says yes to your so-called prayers or blows your mind by exceeding them even I’ve heard. So yeah, that’s that.
Then, now that I’d gotten this anchor point down, let’s look for other anchor points on other states of being that I prefer!
For ultimately, the internal is the truth, and the external is but an appearance and a reflection man!
We truly do the latter only so for the fulfillment of the former!
Finally, one last tip okay. Me in my helpful state of being so.
Alright, so. Don’t take the current constants in your life as the only possible reality. Just because it’s always been this way, doesn’t mean it always has to be this way. See the truth behind why things are like this… Then, you can craft everything to perfection and indulge in it, YOLO.
As I always say to myself, sara ni mukou e. Above, beyond, exceed. Don’t settle too easily. Know that your energy is precious. Have high standards…
Alright, I’m just kinda getting off ranting random principles now. Don’t mind me. So I’m off for lunch! Have a good week! Cya next week👋🏻!
