  • I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I’m avoiding) doesn’t mean I have to complete whatever task I’m avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn’t mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I’m only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).





  • Oh, yeah! I love those tracks too.

    Those lines in wrong way/one way: I touch the ground/send my roots deep down/try to stick around.

    And these from big lie: Everything’s changing / there’s beauty between the lies

    I’m massively indebted to the friend who introduced me to RVIVR. I think I love all of their music.

    I once was able to participate in a live stream thing Erica did on Instagram; she asked for requests, and then played mine! I was on cloud nine for months after and still get giddy thinking about it. To be fair, I think she played all the requests, but still…





  • I see I was looking at the conversation from a wider perspective and likely misunderstood the context added by the image. I don’t disagree with your comment “abolishing ‘x’ ends ‘x’”. However, abolishing any given inequity, one at a time, in one area at a time is not the progress I was speaking of when I asked how to change social structure. Before we can abolish anything, we need people who believe it should be abolished, and we need enough of them to institute change. My question was directed more toward the earlier steps: identifying necessary change and then creating/maintaining a movement which can enact that change.
