A paragraph for myself.
I promised myself that I would write more so my brain won't rot, and so that when pursuing graduate school, I won't speak like an idiot. To add, it is to prevent one thing from leading to another, and eventually, I have to work at a place that doesn't fit my imagination, and I can't even help those in need as well.
Writing has been difficult because Chachipeeti (plz get the reference) has been in my favor for several years. Every time I need to sound sophisticated and academic, I input my thoughts on the tiny bar and let it work its magic. So basically, my logic is all over the place right now. And every time I try to organize the thoughts in my brain on paper, I malfunction. Not to mention speaking out loud.
Therefore, output is the solution. And while I cannot go around and force people to listen to everything that I have to say, writing online was a great idea in my mind.
Truth to be told, the reason I chose this place to write is that I DO NOT think anyone I know or even the strangers online can discover me. Oh, and I like the layout.
Another problem I have (yes, I'm only stating the problems; the solution is for tomorrow) is that I express myself more freely and precisely in English, although my mother tongue is supposed to be Mandarin.
I don't expect people to understand, but sometimes this is really bothersome (to me and the others), especially when there's an important meeting or intellectual conversation.
I love intellectual conversations, I do. But it is so difficult when there are so many distractions:
- media (movies, TikTok, Reels)
- Trilingual brain
- ADHD
wow, the whole package.
So, back to the premise, I would like to conduct an experiment, which involves me reading a chapter of a book, a paper, or any content a day/ week, and sharing what I learned or my criticism online, so basically the main goal is to practice literary critical skills. It WILL suck at first, but who doesn't start small? Even Mozart had to undergo hardcore training when he was a kid. Genius is made, not born.
Anywho, this is the official challenge for myself, and to quote Barney from HIMYM, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
