Not much new on the horizon

What skills or lessons have you learned recently?

Recently, I haven’t learned new things. Only repeat old skills and lessons. So not much new on the horizon. Oh, except that there is no Pullquote block on WordPress anymore, so the quote gives me nightmares. The font is too big, and you can’t change the size. It just looks terrible on the post.

Now, when I think about what I’ve learned recently. I’ve learned that no matter what I do, I can’t seem to find graphic design clients. My savings are soon gone, and no money is coming in (except welfare). If I sold my flat, I could get money. But I can’t afford to hire a cleaner or moving people. Being unemployed blows. I only get bills, bills, bills.

Another thing I’ve learned, but it isn’t recent. It doesn’t matter what I post on Facebook, not even my relatives, no one reacts. But I post anyway just for myself. It’s nice to look back at the memories. People’s lives are so busy that they have no time to care about what I do. If I weren’t used to being alone, I would probably be depressed and distressed. Luckily, that’s only Facebook, and who takes that seriously?

There are always new things to learn. For example, you’re never ready to be creative because you can always get better and realise something you haven’t before. I’ve used Canva for 10 years, but I’m still learning. It gets updates, and new things come up. Then you learn the latest tools. The same goes for any app you use.

Learning new things is fun, and it makes life worth living. Especially if it’s something you love doing. It’s good for the brain to stay active.

Today it’s been 12 years since my mother passed away. Below is a post about it from last year.

Advent Calendar 2024 – Day 15

Time does fly, and it’s like a light bulb. Life can end any day, and that’s why you should spend it the way you want to. As long as it’s legal and doesn’t affect your health. Not wasting time on something you can’t control. Too many worry about what others think about them. But it doesn’t matter because you are who you are. You should dare to be different.

It’s about being positive. Many people see what’s wrong with the world instead of what is good about it. Even the news tells bad news all the time. So let’s find something positive to think about. It doesn’t need to be anything significant. It can be a walk in the park or sitting on the couch watching movies. Or just eat a cookie.

A change performing on stage

“Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?” – Daily Writing Prompt

I performed on stage when I was a kid. In school plays. I would never give a speech, no way. I hate public speaking. When I was on stage, I preferred to have no speaking parts. I don’t like people looking at me, waiting for me to make a mistake. I don’t want that much attention. I got that enough from home. I even hate doing presentations in front of a lot of people. If it were with one or two people, it would be different. I leave the performances to those who like doing them. School plays were enough. That’s a change I’m going to keep.
