āself-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievementā
ā¦
āFocusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they doā
what are your thoughts?
i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well.
most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebodyās job can provide a lot of insight into a personās interests and general character - i think itās fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity.
i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently..
i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters.Ā And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)

the perfect third place. love the fun chats afterwords. nobody is really left out of conversation bc we all just experienced the exact same thing in unison. just an exchange of thoughts, feelings and ideas.
also a place that kinda forces you to completely sit and focus in on whatās in front of you. something i think most of us forget to make time for.. especially if you are someone like me, always on the move and maybe always a little distracted.
what movie will you be watching at the theatres next? maybe iāll watch it too and we can have a chat about it all on the virtual plain :)
