memoirs of a whiny ***** on the internet (formerly known as my personal pensieve)

Mind dump on Poshmark (PS not in any way sponsored), Xander's first podcast episode of Exposed and his chat with Megan Bowen and discovering there is a way to get a green card in Korea as a foreigner, me realizing that I value freedom > stuff, and saying three scary words (er... Typing, in this instance) to someone you care about. Whew! That's a lot! Grab a snack or glass of wine, and enjoy at your leisure.

Musing over catching myself in the act of being bored and talking through it. It is actually me being annoyed by in app game trolls in Final Fantasy CV, but I mean people play however they play. I was mindlessly "watching" TV, much like my parents do and caught myself and decided to read a book I had been meaning to read. Ps I am not sponsored. The book is by Bea Johnson, she has a book on zero waste. She also has a ted talk floating on the interwebs, à website and is someone who didn't start zero-waste but decided to adapte a more mindful lifestyle. Meaning, it is possible. It is sustainable. And little changes are still impactful.

I talk about/through mobility and health and my perspective given my experiences living with aging parents and minimalism gets thrown in there, too. Super quick, bite-sized episode.

I go over my day, the voice chosen To read Fumio Sasaki's book, visualizing my closet and different options for selling all the clothing, etc. 💖

Not sponsored btw lol I just like that EME lets you stream. Also, this episode of my personal pensieve touches on Asians in the media, where I am in my struggle bus journey in minimalism and some of the audio books I have downloaded to help me with perspective and the whole process. I want to reiterate that minimalism isn't about getting rid of all your crap, but for me and what I want to do it has a lot to do with trimming the fat and getting rid of stuff I don't necessarily need or use. Thanks again for sitting in! This episode is longer so if you are going on a long drive, get stuck in traffic or want something to doze off to.

I muse about my lack of consistency in social media posts and the consistency of myself and my parents in minimizing our possessions. At the root of it, I believe we just need the right motivation. If we need to go at a slow pace, who cares? Our lives are our own. Our journeys are also our own. Whatever wonderful positive thing You are trying to accomplish, I hope you have a great motivator and find a pace and method that works for YOU.

Today's pensieve is about my struggle bus journey with minimalism and the many pass throughs I have made combing through the wardrobe. Lately I have been stuck. And partially it is due to poor time management, still playing catch up with sleep from working world cup matches on top of compounding insomnia lol, and lastly not truly honing in on the me I want projected through my wardrobe. This isn't to say that I give two shits about what strangers think about me, but honing in on how I want to project myself will help me figure out the items to let go of. Ps if you want to read about my struggle bus journey into minimalism, I have a blog: bellinissima.wordpress.com.

I finally hopped back on one of my streams. World Cup kept me busy. It felt so good returning to something I really enjoy. I hope everyone can reclaim a their me time and themselves through whatever brings them unapologetic loud and proud joy. Ride that feeling. What do you unapologetically loud and proud love or love to do that makes you happy?

This will be one of the very few long plays. I was recording in my car to see how playback would be. A few regulars K (who moved to be with his significant human) and L (whose former significant human used to work PT with us) came by to visit and asked me about my love life... or as I like to put it "the lack therof" lol and this is me musing over it in the car. Enjoy! Other episodes will be bite size.
