For my professor who will be reading this, a disclamer: the description is a reminder for me, don't worry about that. Afterall, from what I understood about this activity you are going to judge the students' writing intentionally. To help us, of course.

By the way, what a great idea!

I intend to write more and more, for this is what I aspire to do in life. Write. Become a published author. And this activity is perfect for practice. So thank you!

I'm still getting the hang of "padletting", but it reminds me of Substack, another platform I use for writing.

Anyway, that's it for now.

See you in the next one!

;)

It's a period that typically occurs between a person's mid-20s and early 30s. During this type of life crisis, they question or doubt their goals, career paths, and significant relationships.

Isn't this crazy? How something that feels so personal actually happens with basically everybody?

It's like life has a textbook, and we ain't reading it.

Or are we just not reading between the lines?

Some people may not be reading it at all.

At least I like books.

You know what? Maybe I could write about this in (or on?) my newsletter.

I struggle being vunerable in my writing, even tho I know I would be more read and captivating if I were.

Sometimes - most of the times - I feel like my writing lacks personality. Like it's bland.

Because I'm afraid of being me...? Yes. I think so.

And if people don't like the text, then they don't like me? I'm writing my thinking out here, theorizing, analyzing. Don't take me too serious.

But this entry is an example, I know I've only shared my padlet with my professor. It's not out there in the world.

So I feel comfortble writing about whatever. Also, there's the rule in the description which forbids me of judging myself.

This is free writing.

This is free me.

And I can't help but think what a great post this would be on my newsletter.

Maybe I take it there. We'll see.

Final thoughts:

It's okay not being sure about everything, or about something especific. It's like master Gensho said once "A vida se mostra a cada passo."

So let's keep walking!

See you in the next one :)

Some time has passed after my last post on padlet, but here am I.

I not really sure about what to write right so let's see what comes out of this.

Yesterday I was really tired and stressed about work, but one thing washed my soul: my swimming class. Man, did I need that! I relaxed and felt so much better afterwards, that's what swimming does to me, and I am thankful for that.

I tend to get really anxious sometimes and exercising is one of the things that help me cope with life.

Tomorrow I will go to the gym after 3 weeks, I think. My routine changed a lot because of university and then I got sick with the flu or something similar and the days just kept on passing. Before all of this I was in such a great flow, working out everyday, following a diet with less sugar and milk, etc. Now I just gotta get back in track.

That's it. I'll be back some other time talking about how good I feel working out again :)

B-bye!

To leave well enough alone is to allow something to stay as it is because doing more might make things worse.

A few moments ago I was trying to change my padlet layout because I wanted to separate the posts in sections, like I saw a classmate doing. I thought it'd be more organized. But to sum it up I hated the way it looked. So I changed back to the way it way and came up with another idea to organize it. I will be commenting on my posts to indicate the week it refers to!

:) that's it.

SEE YA

Today I took part in a yoga class for the first time ever. It was tranquilizing and comforting. The teacher's conduction was smooth and gentle.

The yoga postures helps with muscle stretching and relaxing, which can make stress levels go down.

As if that's not good enough, at the end of the class there's a posture called Shavasana, or corpse pose. It's the final resting pose. Shavasana calms the mind, reduces stress and anxiety and improves clarity and focus.

Only then, with our minds quiet and the worlds' noise shut down, we can hear ourselves, ourbody, our souls.

For people who appreciate routine and have a tendency to being controlling, having unexpected work coming up can be upsetting. That's because having it all planned in their minds makes them feel peaceful.

Though sometimes the problem is simply being already swamped and having to do more work. If their in one of those stressful days, it's even worse.

Some people were just under the impression they'd have some free time, after completing all the previsible tasks. But they weren't counting one that one cliente who always wants some "little" change in the project.

Anyway, the important thing is to understand unexpected things will always come up and not let that take your peace of mind.

(self-talk of the day)

The bible says it is patient and kind.

Sayings claim it to be blind.

Mothers show it is unconditional.

Some people may see it as an addiction.

I've heard of it happening at first sight.

But it's not always so bright.

Do you love who you know

Or do you know who you love?

Love may be hidden in the shadows

In the faces that were never seen

In the paths that were never crossed

In the places that you have always been

Love may be just around the corner

Or even covered by a bed sheet

Love may be years ahead

Exactly the way you need

It makes me think of times where I put work above everything else. Not cool. Talked about this in therapy. But I don't do it anymore... at least not so much rsrs. Maybe I still need to lessen this habit a litle more.

I don't wanna lose the present working for the future. I wanna be happy now. The only time that really exists, right?

Hard for somebody anxious, but not impossible; I am already doing it :)

After some time I was there, a foreign family arrived. I think they were jews, cause they were all wearing those sort of hats jew people wear. And I know they were forign because they were talking a different language and had names like Ellav.

It was cool having contact with a different culture in person.

One thing that sparkled my wednesday was watching Anne with an E. That little girl has so much passion in her, it's inspiring. Besides that, it's a great show to expand one's vocabulary, I've been learning a lot of new words with it. I mean, I'm only in the first episode, you know how it is, right? When we have busy lives as adults, we watch movies or episodes in installments HAHAHAHA.

I still have a lot of things to do, only now I feel better about myself, relaxed even.

The truth is, sometimes, when you are swamped with work, the best thing to do is NOT work several hours stressed out, but relax before you start. Do something that really matters to you, big or small. Working is gonna feel much lighter later.

I mean, I never thought training people at work would be so annoying and demand so much energy and patience. You explain something 3 times in 3 different ways and when they still don't get you wonder if they're paying attention at all.

I think the biggest problem here is when the person acts like somebody who actually knows how to do stuff when in reality they know shit. Like why did you say you'd be responsible for such task so confidently when you don't even know how to do it and are gonna keep asking me a bunch of questions and I'm gonna have to review and correct everything you do?

If they were honest and said "I wanna do this but I don't know how to, can you help me while I learn?" ok, great, no problem at all whatsoever. But ego is our worst enemy, isn't it? It just won't let some people admit they don't know everything.

[Kind of venting out here cause some things just came to my knowledge and I need to publish more of these. :)]
