i have short term, long term, concrete and abstract goals a plenty. some of them are serious and some are frivolous and fun:
make new friends (wherein hopefully both me and the other party benefit from and find abundance in said meeting), take risks that will hopefully somehow make my career more stable, teach myself to (finally) replace my bass strings, save money to travel, learn brazilian portuguese, paint 2 more oil paintings by the end of this year, taking up a fun lover/fling in the next three years, being more comfy and kind to myself, learn to make a good flan, moving out…
i will never stop growing and changing and setting goals for myself :)

Mainly i wanna work on myself and focus more on my well being (physically and mentally)
Physically :
- Staying active with cycling, walking at least three times a week
- Quit smoking
- Eat less sugar
- Keep the 2L of water on a daily basis
- Get my dose of sun on a daily basis
- Less noise (visual and vocal)
Mentally :
- Be gentle on myself
- Ready at least 12 books (A each month)
- Journaling
- To be less influenced by the internet (on buying new stuff)
- If someone confuses me it only means to cut them off
- Allow nice people to be nice
- Smile more in pictures
- Stop refusing to take pictures with my friends
Creativity :
- Learn to crochet
- Collab with more people in order to expand my photography portfolio
- Learn the basics of anatomy in order to draw people
- Maybe learn Spanish (maybe because life can get busy tho)
Overall, respecting my body, get a peaceful mind set and who knows, maybe during the year i will have more ins.

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
