I'd buy a 15m ship and start sailing the Mediterranean. Which would be my new home too.

Smart people are less easily fooled, so they can see and recognize dating red flags easier.

Your low self-confidence in your creativity is precisely what makes your art look bad.
If you get more confident your art -of any kind- will improve.
Artists are hindered by two major fears:
Fear of failure or not being worthy enough (self-doubt).
And fear of success.

I've watched the movie but this is the first time I listened to to Affleck's commentary. He is very funny *and* speaks common sense. It's a wonder how his commentary was not killed or censored by the distributor..

Only when they do fake follow-for-follows; e.g. when I follow them, they follow me back so that I do not unfollow them(...) and after a week or so when they think they're.. safe from being unfollowed they unfollow me.🤦♀️
If they're so devious they should write spy novels..

We were saying “φτου & βγαίνω” (I spit & I'm out) when the seeker stopped counting & starting seeking & “φτου ξελευθερία για όλους” (I spit freedom to everyone - really) when hide & seek ended & on the next round the same kid would be the seeker.

That's what fiction is, creative lying. Even in non fiction, historical writing etc you can 'decorate' the truth as you see fit or, perhaps, as *you* see the truth.

They often *do* follow back so that you don't unfollow them if they don't follow you back. However, after a while (when they -apparently- think their pledge was forgotten) they unfollow you.🤦♀️ I never forget though, when they do that I unfollow them too. I don't like deception.

If the family of a husband talks about his wife that means he has not set out clear limits.
He should not just defend her, he should have them cut it out once and for all, as forcefully as required.
Nearly all couple quarrels, and eventually divorces, start when third parties

That's bollocks. It is 100% an under the table deal for the Saudis to increase oil production - what Biden begged for in person in July and did not get.
Not right away, so that it does not look suspicious. But soon.

Everything is political, so politics cannot be avoided.
A hero, a rebel, an anti-hero, a warrior fighting oppression, any talk about equality, fairness or justice are political characters or acts.
And the contrary, 'sunshine and rainbows' stories are also political because they

Αυτή η μλκνεοΕλληνική νοοτροπία του "Καλύτερα βιαστής / δολοφόνος παρά πούστης / λεσβία" πότε θα αλλάξει άραγε, όταν η γενιά που το λέει είναι στα Καπί; Μπα.. θα επιβιώσει και μέσω κάποιων σημερινών νέων.. σταυροφόρων. Απλώς θα είναι πολύ λιγότεροι από σήμερα. Ελπίζω.
@jodyjsperling
That truth, facts, common sense and internal coherence matter in fiction as well, not just in non fiction. Imagination is important, but it's not everything.
That just because a story is fictional it does not mean it does not have to make sense.

Some people, even if you are a professional writer (i.e. one who *lives* from it, not in terms of quality), someone who has had published a few novels, short stories etc which actually *sell*, might say: “That's nice, good for you! But what's your DAY job?” 😂️🤣

One more: “If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.”
"I'm a brat who craves to be tamed."
"I see."
"I'm dominant in my job, so I seek the opposite in bed. But I'll make it hard."
"I love hard challenges."

How do you respond to someone who shamelessly and repeatedly tries to deceive you in public?
Do you call them out in public, let them know you know in private, do you block them or do sth else?
After emerging from that swamp she sensed she could only go up.
She set her sights to the stars, steadily rising one day at a time.
But even when she could reach them, even when she stepped among them, she still kept her other foot firmly on the ground.

Tolkien's Silmarillion. Not a movie though, a multi-season show. Amazon, unfortunately, are not adapting anything from the Silmarillion.
What they adapt are the side notes (basically) Tolkien added to LOTR. And even for that they apparently paid an arm and a leg.. 😲
