-2:00 Cali is Claire's... \\“Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.”

Catharsis, a Greek term that describes the feeling of emotional satisfaction you get at the end of a good story. Your novel should build emotional tension by putting its characters in tricky situations, forcing them to learn and grow, and then setting them against one last challenge. In those final moments, we see just how much their journey has shaped their lives, releasing that emotional tension in a rousing and memorable conclusion.

Basically, catharsis makes reading feel good.

#TheoneIkeep. Quote, “When we encounter a person who thinks as we do, who notices what we notice, who values what we value, who tends to respond to different situations as we do, not only do we experience a strong sense of affinity with such a person but we also can experience our self through our perception of that person. This is another form of objectivity. This is another manner of perceiving our self in the world, external to consciousness … The pleasure and excitement that we experience in the presence of such a person, with whom we can enjoy this sense of affinity, underscores the importance of the need that is being satisfied.” -Nate Branden.|| While Branden is specifically referring here to the basis for Romantic Love, it, nevertheless, applies to friendship, as well……….

#oldies ...because psychological issues are still very much biological/the brain is the most outstanding organ in your body that works 24/7 (right up until the moment the barista hands you your double-double and says ‘enjoy’... ‘you 2’, you always reply)/Ahem/the brain is the only organ that named itself/ Ok enough/ Three Two One let's jam~*cowboy bebop style*

#Oldies. A little piece of whimsy, some light reading before bed. I always read before I sleep. It's the default go-to for sleeping. And lately it’s been Stephen King's series of books featuring Holly Gibney, one of his finest characters created that goes to sleep with me. (I.e. rereading ‘Mr Mercedes’. ‘Finders Keepers’. ‘End of Watch’. ‘The Outsider’. ‘If It Bleeds’. -Rec.!) and in the end I share a thankyou note/story from my recent journey.

Oldies. Claire Reading excerpts from “anxious people” (a book/poignant comedy about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.- quote Goodreads. (- not because it’s such a wonderful book (it has the potential to be tho)

Grab a cuppa, get yourself on the sofa and tune in to this one: here I bore you with some terminology and give you some insights on how to root out the shady studies from the good ones.

*mY VOICE WILL BE LOUDER AFTER 1 MIN OR SO*

maybe i'll still be up 3 hours after sleep proclamation.. debating if i should try to nap for 3 hours or just stay up.

Anyways here i'm reading some interesting contents from my notebooks to you. (All music credits to “Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell” , known professionally as @BillieEilish 😆

I’m back! sorry英文內容，所以中文描述：今集要講的事件，恐怖在於一盒磁帶/cassette tape（gen Z知道什麼是walkman嗎😆）這盒磁帶屬於一位登山遇難者，當中的錄音內容（2分鐘）幾乎都是他的聲嘶力竭的求救呼叫…..而牽扯出這件事的，竟然是五年之後（1989年）的另一單搜救行動…. 本次incident事件地點是在日本北海道旭岳山區。

It’s been a while eh miss me? Here I’m going to read stuff to you. Or Better Yet!Let’s play~*without-naming-the-book-what-are-some-of-your-favourite-quotes. -

(Ok naming the books:

1. “anxious people” by Fredrick Backman

2. “Finders Keepers” by Stephen king (A little piece of whimsy// btw Stephen King's series of books featuring Holly Gibney, *chef’s kiss* one of his finest characters created IMO)

3. “Gulliver's Travels”(scripts by BBC learning English). I was reminded that the most topical and insightful analysis of today’s many “intellectual twists” is to be found in Jonathan Swift's account of the Academy of Lagado— it is nonsense standing on the shoulders of nonsense..
