🧵1 RE-thinking about what you've 'accomplished'
Maybe more so since I'm now the other side of 60, I occasionally think about this on a more life-long scale. Some days I definitely think 'What the heck have I done?' and I chose not to really pursue 'success' in the obvious way, rather to 'live' (and yes, you could 'live' more spectacularly with more 'success' lol)--

Bruja de las Agujas
Today a kid (1yo) at the Nursery I work at was having a very bad meltdown (he was hitting him self with his hands, and also his head against the wall) he tried to hit one of the girls for taking a toy he wanted(he barely touched her). What this japanese teacher did was to slap him so hard his head hit the wall.... not only that but they told me multiple times to ignore this other new baby that was crying his eyes out half of my 4h shift. Because just letting a baby crying on a coner by himself did wonders for older generations 🫠 ... feel like quiting but I can't, has been very hard to find a job with tattoos.... ugh...I hate this place.

And fuck all Japan hardcore lovers, that never stop saying how perfect this place is....

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Orwell

Swift falsifies his picture of the world by refusing to see anything in human life except dirt, folly and wickedness, but the part which he abstracts from the whole does exist, and it is something which we all know about while shrinking from mentioning it. Part of our minds — in any normal person it is the dominant part — believes that man is a noble animal and life is worth living: but there is also a sort of inner self which at least intermittently stands aghast at the horror of existence.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-09), “Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver’s Travels,” Polemic, No. 5
