The end credits are rich with details which could be mind-blowing depending on what we watch at any given time.

If the credits go by too quickly, never fear. That's where IMDB comes in!

Even though I don't watch movies as much as I had even a few years ago, I was in the habit of checking out IMDB to see if I recognized someone, to see what early projects some actor did (e.g., Samuel L. Jackson in Coming to America, or Jack Nicholson in the rock opera Tommy). So many details and facts are in IMDB it's scary what we can find in there!

Just be warned that once you start doing this you could end up going down some rabbit hole or other.

There are 2 bad things about IMDB, though:

A few years ago it was acquired by Amazon.com (oh well);
It's not on Hive, where we could engage with other visitors or even add content to it.

Winter is a drag on many people mentally, so don't feel too bad about that. I hope things look better going forward as you follow Hawkeye and whatever else you watch. Things will be back to how they should be for you, it's just a matter of time and getting your own batteries recharged.

Haha, not to worry! I won’t get sucked in it, but it’s funny you should mention IMDB, because my young colleague that I mentioned at the beginning of this post also mentioned it last week. It was the first time I’ve heard about it.

My problem is that my brain doesn’t retain this kind of knowledge. If I left writing this piece till last week, I’d have to go through my watching history to see the title of the series I watched 😂 It’s like there is an ‘erase’ button in my brain to remove all this info. Same for names of the actors, politicians, singers and any other famous people. They just don’t stick. On the other side I know like 100’s names of plants. How? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I really don’t know.

So while I might visit IMDB occasionally for checking something, I defo won’t spend much time there.

That said - I really appreciate your comment. I get overly excited when I see big comments on my post. I often leave them till later, so I can probably digest and reply 😁 So thank you!

That’s very true about the winter. Although there were things in real life which shook me a bit couple weeks ago and clearly I’m in a bit of avoidance to digesting what happened. Hence why going to sleep is an escape from dealing with it 🙄 Once I face what happened, the depression will go away too, I’m sure.

Plants are more useful to you than fictional characters or people you don't deal with regularly if at all. Also, the info about people is available for access, so there's no need to remember it; that's why databases exist.

Sleep is necessary, especially if we have bad habits like spending too much time online (even for Hive). Too much sleep on a regular basis, though, can be a problem. Once in a while it's OK; it just can't become a regular thing. Lack of sleep can't be a regular thing, either; we're people, not hummingbirds.

Dealing with unpleasantness isn't fun, so putting it off is understandable. But doing that is like dealing with debts: Sooner or later they need to be paid, and it's more expensive to pay them down later than sooner. Whatever it is that has you in this condition is unpleasant, for sure; you'll find the strength to dea with it and then keep moving forward.

Mate, you sound way too reasonable! !LOLZ

But you’re right in everything you say. My brain clearly deems all those names unimportant and keeps the space free for other things. Like trying to understand all the L1 and L2 tokens rules and trying to make sense of all those front ends. That is seriously messing with my brain, but I think it’s slowly clicking into the right place 😉

Sleep is a tricky one to find the balance. My body settles for 8-9 hours per night and if one day I sleep extra 3 hours, another day I can go with just 5 hours and vice versa. I did abuse my sleep patterns massively in the past, so it took years to get some sort of a balance back.

That said - last 2 nights I slept around 6h and it seems like getting all this off my chest publicly helped with facing the unpleasant events and make more sense of them during my walks. It’s all looking a little brighter now.

Thanks for the chats. I enjoy it greatly 💙

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help.

Our minds are crammed with so many bits of information that some new things we need to know are too confusing at the time. Focusing on what's useful to us helps us to learn what we need to know. I used to be on top of the sports world when it came to the local teams. These days, I'm lucky if I can name a player or two on those teams (and I live in a city which claims 2 teams for each major league sport). However, what I've lost in sports knowledge I've gained in being able to acquire other knowledge and skills.

I'm glad things are looking brighter for you. You may have found a way to get you through whatever difficulties you have. That's important if we want to keep moving forward toward whatever goals we have and whatever destinations we want to reach on our journey.
