Stop thinking: “I’m not talented enough to execute this concept.” Start thinking: “I’m going to be a stronger artist when I’ve finished this piece.”
This is a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset.
Your abilities are not static, and any challenges you have, anything that turns out different from how you imagined, is not evidence of failure, just a struggle towards improvement.
“Here’s a pretty
unbelievable story: Laurie Holden is an actress who plays Andrea on “The
Walking Dead,” but she isn’t just an actress. Holden also works as a human
rights activist with a group called Operation Underground Railroad. It’s an
organization run by an ex-CIA agent named Tim Ballard that works to take down
unsavory human traffickers and the like. So, Holden and the group went down to
Colombia to try to take down a group of men who were trafficking in underage
prostitutes. Ballard, Holden and co. ingratiated themselves into this group and
set up an elaborate party in an effort to catch these men in the act….” Adam
Pliskin, Elite Daily
“For months, the
group put together a massive sting operation in cooperation with Colombian
authorities. They each had an elaborate cover story. Ballard’s story was that
he was the best man in a wedding back in the U.S. and was looking to hire
several underage prostitutes for a big bachelor party in Cartagena. The cover
was meant to lure the sex traffickers into a setup so that Ballard and his team
could rescue the girls, many of whom were under 18. … In order for Colombian
officials to prosecute the sex traffickers, they have to catch them exchanging
money for the girls on tape. … Holden’s job was to “keep [the traffickers]
occupied by the pool area while Ballard and the undercover officers worked to
catch the traffickers on tape exchanging money.” Candace Smith and Aristides
Pinedo-Burns, ABC News
“When the
traffickers agree on camera to to pimp out the underage girls and the money is
exchanged, the cops move in to make the arrests. During the ordeal Holden works with social
workers to comfort the girls, who fear they’re the ones who will be in trouble
and that they won’t be paid. Holden is clearly heartbroken when interviewed
after the fact. But she should also be extremely proud of her work.” Ian

Say, Thanos, I recall you telling your adopted space daughter (who you routinely abused, by the way) that her home planet of Zehoberei was now thriving because you killed half its population – including her birth mother – because ‘balance was restored’.
Do you know what I think about that?
I think it’s nothing more than a
BIG
FAT
LIE!!!
So apparently her planet prospered to the point everyone spontaneously died? Troll-logic yourself out of that one, you insane oversized prune.
Welll… TECHNICALLY he would point out that
No one is starving on that world
The crime rate is reduced to zero
The economy is very stable.
Pollution is no longer a problem.
It’s all in the spin….
In some biological experiments with flour beetles, they studied chaos in populations, by placing the beetles in an environment where all their needs were met in a finite environment, and after a certain point they would remove a percentage of adults (because larvae and pupae were slightly harder to collect) to simulate a mass die off, and from around fifty percent in some cases and up in a few studies caused massive uncontrolled population growth, or massive uncontrolled population decline causing the beetle cultures to collapse.
It’s very likely that Gamora’s people suffered a massive population crash after Thanos “Saved the Planet”, and now that he’s had the infinity gauntlet and won, you can expect the rest of the universe to follow suit in to chaos, either extreme population growth in some places, and massive death and huge power imbalances in others.
Thanos did not save the universe, he made it worse.
Here’s a source, but you can find many more articles like this on Google Scholar if you enter in “Flour Beetle chaos population dynamics” or “bifurcation analysis of beetle dynamics”
i don’t care if it’s a only a joke, please don’t make comments about how someone’s choice of field of study isn’t going to take them anywhere because it can be a great source of stress and your joke won’t help.
no one wants to hear it but love is earned after the initial infatuation. commitment is something u both mutually agree to and then from there it’s work. it’s not work like it’s a chore it’s jus work like it takes effort. to get good at these things takes practice. it takes practice to learn to communicate better and it takes practice to learn to love each other in the ways u need to be loved.
we need to stop idolizing tom holland immediately. yesterday, actually.
it’s really cool that he’s this seemingly progressive sweet young dude but i saw a whole post about how he’s “the perfect example of non-toxic masculinity uwu” and another post gave him credit for trans-coding peter parker like “coding” stuff in homecoming wasn’t basic “ha ha misgendering is funny” stuff or misogyny and also stuff that’s in the script which he did not write and should not get credit for.
like………. he’s great. watch his interviews, enjoy his performances.
but also he’s like 21??? im 21 and im incredibly stupid all the time. tom’s also gonna be incredibly stupid because like……. people in their early 20s….. are stupid…. and say stupid shit…. and if you hold them to an impossibly high standard…. they will fail you…. no matter how good their intentions are….
just. cut it out early before this turns into another idolization-to-hatred cycle.
In summary: please be fucking normal
We just need to stop idolising celebrities period. I mean, if you have a deep personal reason, go ahead. But if they play roles you enjoy and act sweet in interviews… Like them, sure. Like them all you want! But interviews are not a deep probe into the person’s heart. It’s just another performance.
They’re all human. I can guarantee you that every single celebrity, yes even that one that you’re right now thinking is perfect, has done something you would not approve of. It doesn’t have to be anything dramatic, I’m not saying they’re all monster. Heavens no! But they are all human.
You ever said something ignorant or rushed and hurt someone’s feelings? Your idols did too.
You ever held an opinion that in retrospect was not very nice at all? Your idols did too.
You ever got carried away, lost perspective and did something a bit inappropriate? Your idols did too.
Face it. Acknowledge it. Like most of them as good entertainers with some very nice personal qualities, love some of them as people who spoke to you from a distance.
They are not perfect. They are not going to save the world. They are just people.
