binged minimalist youtube and got a new perspective on possessions and clutter

I also grew up with chickens and think they are adorable
has existential crises relatively frequently
I collect derpy seagulls
I have a Blåhaj 🦈
I keep all my long term notes, personal writing, research, and written logs and records through Obsidian notes application
I got my childhood Game Boy Advanced repaired last Christmas - my first console that I've had since I was 8
cannot spell ("I know there's a double consonant in here somewhere" *accidently doubles all of them*)
as I pay more attention to color theories, interior design/styling, and texture and pattern I become more intrigued and hope to use that more in my experimental art!
I've had a pair of V-Moda Crossfade headphones for 8+years, absolute chad
I strongly relate to aspects of adhd, autism, anxiety, and dissociative disorders, but I have an aversion to therapy so we may never know 🙃
I love liminal spaces, not just because of their peaceful eerieness, but because they are also strangely nostalgic - some pool room images are incredibly similiar to locations in dreams from my earliest childhood memories and I find that both haunting and facinating

as a person with many creative fixations this is genuinley one of the most quotes of all time:

"If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world." ― Ray Bradbury

I pretty much suck at everything except Beat Saber.
I don't have a fancy setup, this is just a screencap pov from my Oculus Quest 2
