#covers

Mine would be thrillers or true crime, because I'm a bit strange I guess. Something without a laugh tract or loud music. I find films from the 30s or 40s are fairly mellow - no war movies. Maybe a drama? I was raised in a small house, so I was used to falling asleep with the distant sound of the television. Spirited Away. Wonderful movie, I've seen it a million times and the adventure never gets less breath-taking. But when I want to fall asleep it's perfect. Soft yet rich colours, whimsical, airy and childlike tone and that wonderfully soothing soundtrack
The Ring The muted color palette and the abundance of rain makes me feel super cozy under the covers. Once you've seen the movie a dozen times there really aren't any more scares to be had and I usually fall asleep during the first half so miss some of the jump scares of the second half.
John Wick. I know the movie so well I probably quote it in my sleep. I always enjoy watching it but I know it so well that missing parts of it while dozing off doesn’t bother me. I can fall asleep 20 minutes in and then start up from the same point the next night
I see I'm not the only one who does this exact same thing. I put on movies that I know well so I can follow them in my head as I try to fall asleep. 3 that I use quite a bit are Jerry Maguire, Fools Rush In and The American President. Maybe give them a try, they work for me at least.
Anything by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. I say this as an admirer of his films: extremely pleasant to watch 20 minutes of and then just drift off. They're slow-moving, gentle, and have really engaging sound design so they work like a charm. Most of them tend to have pretty dark/subdued color palettes too so it's not a strain on the eyes.
I’ll be the one to actively not post movies in the movie group. I listen to podcasts a lot at night. Less exposure to blue lights when trying to sleep, infinite topics to pick from, most don’t feature abrasive audio. They are usually a steady stream of lower voices. I typically put some smaller ear buds in so that it’s not uncomfortable so the volume can be adjusted as needed. Hell, I listened to a movie podcast last night with Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino. If you do specifically want movies, I will always throw on Fellowship of the Ring on a sleep timer. Love the movie and seen it a billion times, so the pressure/desire of staying awake to watch it is minimal. The opening and set up is just long enough that before they even leave the shire I am typically out.
I also have tinnitus, add very bad insomnia for extra bonus points. I also use movies to help me fall asleep- and when a movie is working I'll start it every night when I go to bed until it quits working (I have an android tablet set up by my bed with both USB and microSD, with several medium with many movies on them). I'll also restart the current choice when I inevitably wake up several times through the night.

She the type of girl that will give you the whole world
But her mental health makes her want to die sometimes
She the type of girl that forgets about herself
And she always trys to smile even when she wants to cry
She the type of girl that will never ask for help
But she will always give advice if you're talking suicide
She the type of girl that wants to be someone else
So she covers all her scars now shes ready for the fight
She the type of girl that will give you the whole world
But her mental health makes her want to die sometimes
She the type of girl that forgets about herself
And she always trys to smile even when she wants to cry
She the type of girl that will never ask for help
But she will always give advice if you're talking suicide
She the type of girl that wants to be someone else
So she covers all her scars now shes ready for the fight

She takes a lot of selfies but she doesnt know herself
And shes very down to earth but she wants to leave the world
She feels like life is over cos shes always overwhelmed
She reminds me of myself and i just hope she gets help
People see her scars but they dont understand the battles
Just like people see the stars
You dont know how far they travelled
From a kid she was an adult, she had to learn to battle
Shes been hiding in the shadows
Of the trauma she cant handle
Smiles on all her socials but crys behind her photos
If only you could see the things that she doesnt post
But looks a Little closer you can see that she is broken
Always posting like shes coping but inside shes dying slowly
Cos she hates the way she feels
Overthinking makes her ill
Now shes drinking every weekend cos shes trying to numb the feels
But nothing seems to work, nothing
Numbs the hurt cos when she wakes up in the monring every day shes still her

Shes got a heart of gold but she suffers in her soul
Self esteem is broken but she fights it on the low
Aint you ever noticed that shes always on her own
Or shes always on the phone but she doesnt say hello
Mental health mental health she cant do this by herself
Shes not rude shes not well shes just frightend to get help
There aint no one she can tell, not even the girls
So she keeps it to herself and she smile to the world

Shes tired of all her flaws and insecurties that haunt her
Trying to deal with trauma in her head shes got some walls up
Family dont support her but support their

Make your bed.
Every morning in SEAL training, my instructors, who at the time were all veterans, would show up in my barracks room and the first thing they do is inspect my bed. If you did it right, the corners would be square, the covers pulled tight, the pillow centered just under the headboard and the extra blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack. It was a simple task — mundane at best. But every morning we were required to make our bed to perfection. It seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly in light of the fact that were aspiring to be real warriors, tough battle-hardened SEALs, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proven to me many times over. If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.

Yes, of course. Cards too. Because everyone likes to see their name on something that isn't solicitation.
▪︎(Just today I sent my buddy a sympathy card. His grandma passed) ▪︎"Her body may have given up, but her soul lives on, in you. If you let it, Keep her memories of her alive, in you. One day the Great Spirit (God) will come and take his children home in His final resting place and we will meet again"
(Ojibwa Nation Proverb) I believe these words to be true. •From personal experience, after people flood your front door with condolences...they seem to just vanish and everything gets quiet. Then it sinks in. Really, sinks in. You can never hear her voice and laughter. Those are the moments you should open your photo album, avoid just doing the playback in your mind. ▪︎As we age, you will forget those memories. I hope that when you slip away, those photo albums have worn covers and you have kept those photo memories of her, alive. ▪︎Peace be with you. ▪︎▪︎With adoration..."

🌟Jamming Sessions
When it comes to losing myself or fully immerse myself to the point that I forget about the existence of time, one of the more commonly performed activity in groups would be jamming sessions.

---

Given that the world isn’t plagued by the pandemic, I used to gather a handful people that are experienced in music and the uses of instruments with another handful of people that has zero knowledge in music. Then, I’ll leave the floor open to everyone’s choice of music as we jammed to the songs we may or may not heard of.

---

This can be challenging as everyone has to be very open and accepting of others’ choices of musics — However, this is also one of the methods I used to pull them out of their depressed state as everyone tries to jam in the songs of their choice, it allows them to feel that their opinions is valid and they could feel ‘alive’ again.

---

🌟Dancing
I’m bad at choreograph dances but mimicry is my best teacher. This puts me in my flow state entirely and I lose my senses of time after I’ve managed to make a few steps into any choreographed steps or even just freestyles itself.

---

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten the time until the sky went dark 😂

---

🌟Researches
This is relatively very random, but more often than not this brain of mine would just pops up a question in which I have no answers to, and that would eventually be the things listed on my ‘future researches’ list.

---

This is where I tend to learn more and even went out of bounds most of the time, far away from what I was taught back in school, college/university, or even in my workplace alone. With the help of Google, knowledge is free.

---

🌟Cooking
I am bad at cooking. Still bad as I’m still an amateur cook. But that doesn’t mean I can’t cook myself so I tried to research recipes myself and try them out.

---

Sometimes, once I’ve learned how to cook without the recipes, I would eventually find a way to modify the recipes to cater for various tastebuds, or to see if there will be a birth of a new item. This is where I draw the line and called the things I cook through experimentations: FrankenFoods. Judging by the name, yes, the ingredients can be very odd at times 😂

---

But alas, to every meal that I cook, I tend to have a crafty mind to articulate the meal themselves to make them more presentable (even though I don’t sell nor work at a restaurant in the time being) and that brings us to the next thing that makes me lose the trails of time.

---

🌟Photography
It’s self explanatory, but as I take photos, the essence of perfection comes into play as I want things to ‘look presentable’ and not just to trash them onto any social medias to tell what I’ve been doing, but more of a photo that is presentable even to the point that it can be on magazine covers.

---

Well, magazine covers is a little too far fetched but a kid could dream. And I won’t take a bad picture and excuse myself from trying again.
