I have a habit — or even an unconscious desire — to take the opposite stance of my interlocutor’s viewpoint during any conversation. Especially when it comes to discussing (or even judging) someone behind their back, when they, for obvious reasons, cannot object.
At the same time, I may or may not agree with the position I’m “defending” — but I still present counterarguments to the other person’s point of view. And perhaps this is a good skill to have: the ability to adapt, switch perspectives, and look at a situation from a different angle. The word “adapt” might make it sound like I don’t have my own opinion, but that’s not the case. More often than not, there is truth on both sides.
I don’t understand NPCs people who, for example, shave their face and head to perfection. It looks extremely unnatural and fake. Plastic Barbie dolls seem more human than these “leather mannequins.”
But I have nothing against it — if you like it, go for it. However, I choose a bit of lively messiness.
In memory of David Lynch — a grandfather I never knew, yet somehow felt I knew personally.
I only had one grandfather — on my mother’s side. We spent a lot of time together, and he played a huge role in my upbringing. I never met my paternal grandfather, and I know nothing about him.
But in some sense, I had another grandfather — David Lynch. If my real grandfather taught me human qualities, life principles, and skills, then Lynch became my mentor in art, creativity, the formation of taste, and my worldview.
Why explain it? It’s already obvious to everyone!
— Thoughts in My Head
The thought of having to explain something to someone terrifies me. It’s so obvious! Everyone knows this!
It turns out, not everyone knows or, at least, remembers. This post is dedicated to an obvious thought that everyone is already aware of.
I just have to write this as a reminder to myself to stop procrastinating and start posting something. Something that I found interesting, something that I didn’t know but everyone else did, or something that only I knew and thought everyone else did, but turned out otherwise. For some, this might be a set of obvious and banal statements. Some may have already forgotten this thought and wouldn’t mind a reminder. For others, it might be a revelation of the day.
