āself-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievementā
ā¦
āFocusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they doā
what are your thoughts?
i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well.
most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebodyās job can provide a lot of insight into a personās interests and general character - i think itās fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity.
i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently..
i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you itās an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because itās basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

lecinemaclub.com posts a free new movie to stream on their website every Friday. so good. It gives me the joy that early Mubi days did. Extremely limited content, hand-picked, and available for a short time.
I also love their online journal, especially the filmmaker's film lists. Everyone from Lynne Ramsay, Jonah Hill, John Carpenter, Dasha Nekrasova, Wim Wenders, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Alex Garland, talk about 5 films they love in a short sweet and aesthetically pleasing list format.

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)
