Admittedly I don't read very often. I do love reading but my adhd is so debilitating in that regard that reading is near impossible for me most days (not the ability to read. But the ability to concentrate on the words I'm reading).
However when I do, it's usually graphic novels and I buy them as paperback. I love flipping the pages of books it feels really calming. The smell of the pages is really charming and soothing too. So I always opt for a physical copy if I have the choice.

I do have a kindle that an ex gave me. And the kindle app on my phone too, but honestly I rarely use them these days if at all ha. They're handy if you wanna travel and have various books to read but don't wanna pack heaps of books. So I usually use it if I'm going somewhere and want the option to read things. When at home though, or a always paperback for me 📖💖

Country. Because I never have to drive in traffic ever in my life. Can leave in the woods and still be 10-15 minutes from any type of store you would need. I'm an outdoors person, nature is just beautiful to me. Creeks and rivers you can swim in, they're plenty out here. Ever seen the night sky out in the country compared to the city? You can see everything including the milky way going across the sky, it's beautiful.
As I grew older, and the credit I was building by my behavior was actually positive, it was nice to move to a small town. Walking into a bank where the manager knows your name, getting greeted at the post office and not going through a hassle picking up packages, etc. Once, I even had a wallet returned to me because the lady recognized my picture from church. Mind you, there are less opportunities. My wife worked as a graphic designer for a bit, and demand wasn't terribly high or lucrative. Non-city life makes it a bit easier to be a part of the community. Bedroom communities. They're small towns that are close to large cities. Most of the people that live in these towns don't actually work in these towns. You get the feel of the community of a small town, people know you, yet you still have stuff to do that isn't too far away.
I generally have much more in common with city people. I also like concerts, theater, public transportation and good restaurants, and that really only comes with cities. I like visiting the country but have no real interest in that lifestyle.
Rural within easy reach of a city is ideal for me. I live in a city currently (for university) and I really struggle with sleep because there is always light and noise coming from outside, also I hate crowds. I'm from a small village originally and much prefer the peace and quiet, and the green countryside
Rural, because I was born in it. I've problems when I'm sleeping at friend's house because I'm used to the noises of the cities(and I'm talking about small cities <30k citizens), for instance my grandma had problems sleeping because they opened a railroad that passes almost 2km from our house, but you are able to ear it in complete silence. Also the idea to have a garden or to walk outside without the traffic, I feel like I'm in a box while being in cities like Milan.
Being in a larger city can be nice sometimes, but I would never live in one. I just find it too crowded, too hectic and very weird if you are just surrounded by city. I like small towns/cities, something around the 30-60k population mark. You have enough people there that the place isn't totally empty, but it's not too crowded, the city is small enough that can easily bike everywhere and the city is just large enough that you can do some stuff in it. I grew up in a city with around 30k people living there, and I just like the feeling there.

Wow, it’s quite scary to realise that, it didn’t quite hit how far we’re into 2022 until seeing it written down! 😅

---

In terms of what I’ve achieved… it’s hard to say really. Everything that I’ve been doing, especially the last few months, is hustling as hard as I can, for a major deadline that if all goes well, means that it will be a colossal burden lifted for my family. So while that’s not exciting to do or read about even aha, everything that I want to do (art, etc) is kind of shelved until I can get that done, on my part.

---

In terms of more interesting things though!

✨ I’m very close to finishing a painting I’ve been working on for @nurbzee! As to the above, it’s been difficult carving out the time I want to give towards creating, but I want it to be to the best of my ability and because she deserves the absolute best! 💫✨

✨ I’ve now finally seen in person some of the work I did way back in last December that was graphic design, in terms of designing chinaware (teacups and saucers primarily), and such. I saw two of the designs on Friday and I’m so, so chuffed with how they came out! Actually selling them to people was the most amazing feeling. Unfortunately I can’t post them here due to my contract, but I’m glad that the hours spent on them paid off! 😄

---

My goals are to continue what I’m doing, finish my painting and hopefully some of my own personal work as well, and if everything goes okay, I can then start looking properly into garden studios to do my art!! 🎨

---

What annoys me the most are people. Drunk/high people? I get annoyed. Direspectful people? I get annoyed. Unintelligent people? I get annoyed. People making noise or anyhow disturbing me? I get annoyed. Horny people? I get annoyed. Sluty people? I get annoyed. Victim card/self pitying people? I get annoyed. Big ego/full of themself people? I get annoyed. People not caring about the planet like making unnecessary waste or harming living things? I get annoyed. People not being on time - being late? I get annoyed...

And since you mention adds well i hate it and get severly annoyed by how many nsfw adds there are -.- like every second add i get while playing game son phone is of some game where you undressing mostly female character or where things are based on sexual interactions between characters or at minimum smugg graphic stories...it makes me wanna stop using phone all together because i have seen those one too many times 🙄 and the worst thing is icant even block them (used to be able to?). Iam already annoyed by adds in general cuz they are too common and interupt things (in games, youtube etc) but those are just the absolute worst and it instantly ruins my day -.-

---

Public wc's annoy me. more so repulse than annoy tho. Cuz they are always nasty. I rather not go to the toilet all day than go in those nasty smelly trash holes. The only exception is library. The toilet there is always spotless 😅 the only public toilet i will use honestly haha

---

I could go on but i am sleep deprived and starving atm and my patience battery was completely drained while battling my kid to make him sleep so right now i feel like EVERYTHING annoys me. Like existance itself annoys me :'D so i dont feel like my answer will be realistic in curremt state. But what i did mention always annoys me :'D

You know the dilemma of being alive today?

---

Say you're a kind soul who is helping others, spreading joy and happiness. Your friends and family love you for your emotional, moral and physical presence.

---

Yet, the photoshopped, scripted and unrealistic social media has led us all to have impossible expectations of ourselves.

I watch teams of graphic designers work whole days to photoshop pictures of models after every shoot. The same models that inspire girls to go on unhealthy dieting.
Behind those best selling motivational speakers are sad little people who never became anything themselves. Why can't they read their own books and start their own start-ups, earn millions and run countries?
My parents used to point at a neighbor who got more marks than me. I asked them to let him go through everything I've went through and then get the same results.
We all have different inputs, how can we compare the outputs then? We all have different questions, how can our answers be the same then?

What is "Good" to you? I say, if you are a kind soul, who is honest to yourself, empathic and hardworking. You are good enough. Try, and leave the rest to God.
