Rye Off The Bat

We're always made to stay in our comfort zone. From preferring the sheets to hitting the gym, and choosing our favourite snacks to eating healthy greens, our brains are always wired for instant gratification.

But sometimes we do have to take control of our mind with awareness ourselves to bring ourselves onto a more enriching and fulfilling journey through learning and growth to become better versions of ourselves. 

I finally decided to face my anxiety, and my low self-esteem and to force myself to start learning a new system of video content creation. This would be the time where I would kickstart my humble YouTube journey and I'm happy to share them with you here.

In this episode of our collab series, we discussed both the film and the book, Never let me go. We didn't exactly manage to get a lot in the book club to finish the book, hence we decided to join this with the film itself instead. Diving deep into the universe and concept; what is considered ethical and what is not? Does the line gets blurred over time when humans just want to survive?

I just ended my first therapy session, In this episode I'll like to share what I'd learn and how I felt after visiting my psychologist as he is currently helping me to deal with PTSD. Let's not forget to be kind to ourselves.

In this impromptu session of our media review special, Myo hopped on after finishing Everything Everywhere all At Once, and we dabbled deeper into film generically itself, verse jumping from Marvel, DC to the likes of superhero movies, back to EEAAO, not forgetting Cats, and amongst many Human Centipede.

This Bonus episode seem to have focus more on the latest Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, where being fellow Potterheads we seem to share a similar spell of disappointment. Little did we know that muggles could conjure the disapparition spell in the theatre, but I do still at the end of the day still wants the best and I very much love the franchise (I used to run a community discord for Ravenclaw).

We ended with alittle road map and discussion for possible future session, where we would like to discuss more about books and films as this have proven to be amazing outlets for us to express and share our afterthoughts.

In this impromptu session of our media review special, we have Lycando; a movie buff friend of mine who shares the same passion if not more (definitely more), in movies and films as me.

Lycando actually was the one who reminded me of Everywhere Everything All at Once (EEAAO), and that spiraled me into a huge rabbit hole where (I'll post my own review up on the following Sunday). 

Spoilers alert! We would be discussing about the film, touching alittle on all about the characters, and how the movie made all of us feel. Personally I embraced the darker parts of the film, while Lycando have a very technical take, which makes our review compliment each other with some light laughs here and there. Come  join us and I hope you enjoyed this movie!

This would eventually be a 2 episode special where Myo would be coming on board after (she went off to watch it while she knew we were recording this, and we catch up after that)

In part 2 of the 3rd episode, we discuss further about being taken advantage of kindness and people who makes us feel less of who we are. Energy Vampires; a term that was introduced to me in the recent years. So together we also have Rosie, Trix, and Squishat who joined us alongside with Chilli and Sugoi, making this our largest 6-person panel podcast so far.

We also talks about the trauma and how it changes us after our encounters, leaving us emotional baggage. So how do we deal with it? And how do we unpack and get this mess sorted out after? How can we heal ourselves when the person who hurt us left feeling so much less, drained, and worse; changed.

Come join us as we unpack these together.

In this special episode, we have Chilli and Sugoi, who'd be discussing about what's a friend to us? There are some personal things that happened to me that made me think about whether someone is worth my time or being uncomfortable for. So what makes a friend to you? And how much should you give, before you take... off? 

Sometimes we have to remember to be kind to ourselves, and not let others who takes advantage of kindness to make us feel less of us.

I recently got down with covid and I spent some time thinking about things, all in all taking a break and wonder about what should I do with my life

In the part 2 of the episode, we have Derf who hopped on to join us on this crazy journey at 4am when we decided to unpack one of the most commonly asked yet unanswered questions in our life; What is happiness? It was more than we can unpack definitely, but we do emerge better, smarter, stronger, and more determined to work our way towards happiness. We discuss about how we conceptualise happiness, and we even gave it a little touch of Genshin Impact. 

This part of the podcast do contain a lot of non-sponsored Genshin Impact Advertisement as we discuss about how Genshin can be bizarrely applied to the concept of life. From constellation, talents, it's for us to find out.

To non-genshin players, I hope you still are able to find this podcast relevant as we talked about how can we try to be happier, the mindset and perspective between all of us and some valuable takeaways at the very end. 

And may us find happiness, beyond the lands of Teyvat.

In this special episode, we have Chilli and Sugoi, who'd be discussing and talking about work life balance. Since I'm working without designated hours, I decided to have 2 different person for extra perspective; as Chilli is an Asian with working schedule of other time zones, while Sugoi is a student. We share ideas about finding balance between work and life, how do we maintain boundaries with coworker? What's okay? How should we plan our life around our work? 

These are some questions that we would like to dig deeper on this episode of podcast.
