i was... told recently, that it is important for me, to try and leave my comfort zones.
but that... is really hard! and really uncomfortable.
but, some comfort zones, they are not good: they are comfortable because they are familiar, but they are self-sabotaging and destructive.
have you ever broken through your comfort zones? how?

>>1173985the car is fine, but boy was today a wild one
i get done with teaching my classes, and after eating at shake shack, i decide to head back home, which is a 40 minute drive and up through a mountain pass.
before i leave the city, i just get hit with the BIGGEST thunderstorm i've ever driven through! Just pounding water, hail, lightning! the whole shebang! parts of the roads were basically pools, and i had to be careful not to hydroplane! i nearly had to pull over to just wait out the storm, but it cleared up just enough to get through.
so i get to the other side of the storm, it's sunny, so i should be fine right?
well i get onto the highway that starts the climb up the mountain into the canyon that i take to get home. and i see that traffic in front of me starts to slow down.
"great! did somebody get into an accident?"
NOPE
turns out part of the road was COMPLETELY FLOODED, and there was no place to turn around, so i just had to try my best and drive through it.
it was like a 2 feet of water on all sides, and i was just slowly gettting through with other cars all around me doing the exact same thing. and the flooding has brought some dirt and gravel from the cliffsides onto the road, so there were parts that legitimately felt like i was driving on a dirt road with bumps and stuff
but i get on the other side of it, and i head into the canyon, which for the most part was okay, but i was careful cause i didn't know if any rockslides happened (some did! but nothing to obstruct the main drive)
HOWEVER
i get to a point near a small town where a cop is stopped in the right lane, lights flashing, and people were driving around him.
at first i thought, "well maybe he pulled somebody over?"
i get a little closer, and i saw a LARGE BOULDER the size of a SMALL BOULDER in the middle of the right lane! it was larger than an oven in size!
it would have sucked if the cop wasn't there, and somebody drove straight into that thing and just totaled their care on a boulder on the way home
the rest of the drive was dry, but that 40 minute drive turned into an hour and a half of white knuckle driving, naval navigation, and dodging rocks dirts and canyons!
it was NUTS!

>>1174034it was good! fortunately the weather was nice and no floods or boulders today!
i also talked with my NY film friend some more, and it was very nice! he did confirm something i already really knew, and that is screenwriters should aim for LA overall, which is no shock to me. but i'll still research both LA and NY just to keep options open
the only downside is that i'm still getting smacked by a boss in elden ring, and feels like i kinda hit a wall. I don't have as much time to dedicate working on bosses as i used to, so i'll just take it one day at a time

>>1174034>>1174034Yeah, was fun. We didn't actually finish the adventure I wrote in one sitting, so that seems to me like I made something decently layered.
I also managed to plant enough descriptors if who my bad guy is that when the players actually saw him, they noped out and retreated to come up with a better plan, so I will take THAT ad a sign that I created a cool villain.

and while i can't speak for everyone, for me, i will say whenever i go to such a place, i feel allowed to meet the energy and vibe of everyone around me, to have a moment where the past and the future aren't important anymore; just the moment, the energy, and the celebration!

>>1174356Hmm.. I feel like I relate to some of the factions of chaos the most. Not the Chaos Space marines in particular, but rather some of the messages that the Chaos Gods bring. They are mirrors; reflections of the universe. Chaos is most misunderstood not only in universe, but by the fandom as well.
I often feel misunderstood by the universe and in a constant catch 22. If I attempt to do the right thing, I am wrong for doing so; or I didn't do enough. If I actively embrace the wrong things in life such as hatred, I am a wrong for doing so; or I didn't do enough. And if I do nothing at all, then I am wrong for my sheer inactivity. The world is a place where people are going to tell you what to think and what to do, and they'll get angry at you if you don't fall into their specific way of thinking or living. They fear freedom; and I value freedom. So I don't bother. I am a reflection of the world. My hatreds, my 'bigotries', and discriminations are based on life experiences and reinforced by others experiences. I might step on eggshells around certain subjects out of the pure kindness of my heart, but I won't change my opinion just because someone thinks its wrong. I think that scares people. It threatens them even when it's hypothetical or isn't actually any of their business. A lot of people don't like it when they can't control someone or something, especially when that thing doesn't fall into their own line of thinking. Because
they're right. And everyone else is wrong.
"So remember these words. The Gods do not hate us. They do not scream for the destruction of all we hold dear. They are us. They are our sins coming home to the hearts that gave them life. We are the Gods, and the hells that we have made are our own."

>>1174408if being one with the status quo is slavery, which in some respects, it can be... then mirroring it, for what it is, is no more free: it is still a chain that allows the status quo to dictate what and who one is.
a necron does not rebel, because it cannot rebel. it must persist with its condition, without agency.
chaos, it rebels, but it is not free: of all the different factions perhaps, one can argue, chaos is the least free, for it exists only as a mirror to the anathemas of the material world: it is literally shaped and defined by its opponents.
in fact... maybe, the only faction one could say is free, are the orks. but, perhaps even then, they are no less bound by instinct and hierarchy than any other faction: terminally addicted to the accrual of power, and the thrill of conflict.
maybe one should not think too much about warhammer...

I don't think human beings have the biological capacity for them to look, act, and sound in a way that would make me comfortable around them ever. Happy around them? Sad? Calm? For most emotions, yeah, it's another question.
Not comfortable. They are simply too violent. Too illogical. Too hateful. And so on.
It's very much like asking a young prey mammal how he or she would ever be comfortable around adult predators.
Granted, it's certainly possible on paper for me, and likely in practice for others. Real-life and 'Beastars' are almost exactly the same. I suppose. At times.

It was a very long process....
I've led a chaotic life, but things can get better. You just have to not give up and try to remember that there's something other than darkness waiting for you somewhere.
Maybe the only place you can feel happy will be in your dreams: but even there, you can still feel it, and you're still alive....
