not to jump in and offer unsolicited writing advice, but there’s other moves besides taking your text and editing down

it is much harder to expand my awareness in the US among americans than it was in Greece among greeks and americans and iranians and brits and bulgarians

good i can stop pitying men, thx deepfates

110

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 20/05/2023

i don't pity men often, but when i do it's because they can't elegantly drape their jacket just off their shoulder so they can be cozy, but also get a refreshing breeze to kiss the neck

oh right i keep meaning to do this

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 19/05/2023

oh yeah funny enough i wasn't so much trying to lean it in the direction of ... like ... how to manifest your desires, but they're related aren't they. the thread on how to become a dad i guess is where i've written most closely ab this

you may not be there yet, but you won’t get there by thinking it’s completely unachievable in the meantime

what makes his life special is not the specifics of the farmhouse, the wife, the children, the geese. it’s his pausing to look at it. if you Know, then you know there’s less to envy than it seems

simon sarris does live a beautiful life, it’s true, but many people in his position do not adorn the simple things to be elegant in the way he does. they don’t stop to see the way the sun hits the same countertop every day, and appreciate every day in the same way

180

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 19/05/2023

the interesting thing about simon sarris is that the people who envy him would not, in fact, like his life

depends on delivery. i’m seeing a lot of pushback on “policing” language like this and i’ve been convinced (by greeks, caveat) that it’s the right fight in the wrong location

keep trying to shop for cheap prom dresses on amazon and ending up on the one that costs $1000 anyway

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 17/05/2023

mmmmm it won't be special to these parts but in comparison to people i find myself around in life and at work, i seem to have a p sophisticated/creative way of thinking ig. i'm well spoken.

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 17/05/2023

so much of positioning yourself depends on seeing what you offer in comparison to other people, and de facto that means seeing your skillset as a positive shape formed from the negative of what other people seem (to you) to be unable to do

*but also* i wish i had realized earlier what people saw in me that made them say that, so that i could understand the larger context i was entering into as i prepared for the professional phase of my life.

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 17/05/2023

in some ways i'm glad i did that cos i think i would have become the wrong kind of writer (for me) and bricked myself into an undesirable life

150

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 17/05/2023

when i was growing up and in school i got told a lot that i "should be a writer" and i never really took people seriously cos i thought that was like a generic kind of compliment that people told everyone, so i didn't listen and didn't push for it

not sure i have a choice honestly. i’m really bad at a lot of things.

is that what that means

there is no off grid, the grid is everywhere, always, until the end of time. you are in an eternal trust fall and there is no ground, but there is the grid.

something i like about [redacted] is that it bakes this structure into our lives, folds us together such that it is high cost to unfold.

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 15/05/2023

it means i'm going to fall apart a lot, and i need to budget for falling apart, and warn people about it, and be okay with it, but also celebrate the brightness of what that falling apart supports

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 15/05/2023

a confession i would rather develop being really really good at a particular high value thing i'm already casually better than most people at, than be sufficiently okay at all aspects of life

in some crowds these are basic recs. idc

not sure if you count joan didion essays. same flavor of suggestion as with nin. specifically slouching toward bethlehem.

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 15/05/2023

my recommendation to this question for the last ten years has been anais nin. it’s been so long im not sure if she is relevant for where we are in our lives, but she has been wildly impactful for me.

nvpkp @nvpkp.bsky.social · 15/05/2023

i leave it to the world to decide
