I was reading about childhood wounds and acting out like a child yesterday. So I made so,e journaling prompts to help me think about situations where I don’t act the way I wish to. Feel free to use them if you think they are useful

  • What traits of my dad am I worried about inheriting?
  • What traits of my dad do I want to exhibit?
  • What feelings and pains from childhood do I still feel?
  • When do I react “like a child at work”, what causes that?
  • When do I react “like an adult”?
  • When do I react “like a child” at home, what causes that.

P.s. if you have better phrasing, especially for the third, I’d be happy to hear it.

  • Ludovico Einaudi on the radio
  • The aroma of freshly ground coffee infusing the air.

This weekend I started a page in Obsidian for the “We’re going to need a bigger car” project. Maybe the PARA organising system has its place.

I decided to try Hipstermatic again and it made iPhone photography feel fun again. I think it’s mostly just a change from “the iPhone look” to photo processing.
