I used to make a lot of threads, once upon a time.. lots of emoji, lots of gifs, lots of lame punny dad jokes.. I once made a thread called “Who are you?”, and asked the PIMD community about themselves. I read back over what I wrote, and realised how much had changed for me in the last 5 years ? Who are you? So, this is me I still don’t like confrontation, but I’m getting better at it.. I don’t get the same anxiety as much, maybe because my heart rate is half what it was since I quit smoking ? I finished my psychology degree in 2016, still haven’t figured out what to do with it yet, and still don’t wanna do face to face counselling right now I’m in between alien spouse and perm resident, so I can’t work yet anyway I still love pears, but gave up eating them, I can never find one ripe enough to eat when I want it. I’m over the cashew/almond phase, and I crave tomatoes so much now ? I don’t like American chocolate much, with the exception of Ghirardelli.. Still not fussed about music or TV, but Mike is, so I’m more up to date now and I’ve since become a GoT fan, the only exception to my “don’t watch tv religiously” thing.. I’ll never say no to a Friends, Seinfeld, or Impractical Jokers marathon ? Still love romcoms, still a horror movie fan, and have added foreign horror to my faves.. they seem so much more brutal and nightmarish I haven’t been too crafty lately, I’ve been focused on writing, trying to figure out how to tell stories about my life without incriminating my family, tougher than you’d think I think American ads are so freaking weird, especially ads for medication. “Don’t take this drug if you’re allergic to this drug” why the hell do people need to be told? C’mon dude seriously.. Anyway, that’s a bit more about me.. so who the hell are you? What’s changed for you in the last 5 years? ?
i was 14 years old 5 years ago. i was super depressed, and wasn't looking forward to life and was thinking bout ending it. i sought out professional help and i stuck around 5 more years and don't see myself dipping outta life anytime soon either! ?
i fence, read, write, play pimd (obvs). i work at a dog daycare and grooming salon, and am attending college for english and poli sci (altho i have been thinking about squeezing it down to just an english degree and maybe becoming a veterinary technician).
Firebends that sounds pretty awesome, but I bet there are days you get it my mums dog didn’t like having his nails clipped at all, he was a jerky little Jack Russell. What kind of stuff do you write?
valid i deal with a lot of dogs that don't like being groomed it sucks because i always feel bad that they're unhappy. i just spoil em with lots of treats. i used to write a lot of fiction, all kinds of genres, but recently i've been into writing analytical essays and nonfiction works.
5 years ago, I was confident in myself. I knew who I thought I was. I had plans, goals, and ambitions. I made lots of friends. Now, 5 years later, I only talk to my family, bf, and a few people in my close circle. I'm constantly reinventing myself mentally. I'm not as confident as I used to be. But, I'm alot happier. My life is wonderful and I'm accepting new things about myself all the time. Instead of trying to conform with this fake veil of confidence, I'm understanding myself more as a individual.
big data: Big data is new and “ginormous” and scary –very, very scary. No, wait. Big data is just another name for the same old data marketers have always used, and it’s not all that big, and it’s something we should be embracing, not fearing. No, hold on. That’s not it, either. What I meant to say is that big data is as powerful as a tsunami, but it’s a deluge that can be controlled . . . in a positive way, to provide business insights and value. Yes, that’s right, isn’t it? xd Big data refers to a process that is used when traditional data mining and handling techniques cannot uncover the insights and meaning of the underlying data. Data that is unstructured or time sensitive or simply very large cannot be processed by relational database engines. This type of data requires a different processing approach called big data, which uses massive parallelism on readily-available hardware.
It’s an awesome feeling huh? To look back and see how much you’ve grown as a person! What kinda new things have you discovered, and how did you find them? Like, I moved to a new country, and learned a whole new way of life, it’s bizarre
Why wasn’t it good? I feel you though, I moved out of home at 16, and let the power go to my head, many questionable choices
