I've been gathering the energy of the Earth for a spirit bomb but halfway through I forgot what it was for. Not sure what do with this giant ball of energy.
The rain is dripping outside my window and it's quiet, except for the hum of a computer fan. And I feel a sad kind of hopeful, if only because for a few hours I've been able to get out of the sludge of fatigue and depression that's my brain. It feels like a flashback to being a kid. I'm not sure why. I've been wat hang a bunch of weird shit on YT, and I watched a really good video on how the English language puts emphasis milestones and time, and what you are doing NOW, and if you're on schedule...while other languages refer to time as a continuum. It's really easy to get caught up in the belief that you've messed something up beyond the point of salvation, but instead of focusing on the things I've missed out on, I should Ben focusing on the future, and the skills and attunements I've developed as a result of the path I took. It makes me feel a bit better about things.
So right now? I feel okay. And that's really all I want, honestly.

Do you remember what it was called, or have a URL by chance?
I love stuff like that.
Basically, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes that language determines, or at least influences, so many of our most fundamental beliefs about the world.
That example about different perspectives on time is one of the really eye-opening examples.
If you really think about it language is just one symbolic way of representing experience. From there, you can really start to see how relative perception is, and, ultimately, how confined/restricted we are by how our past experiences have shaped our current world view.
