i appreciate your video and that you share it took you six months for this process, I used to think that I needed to do it all in one or two days which is super stressful for me and I ended up procrastinating about decluttering. Thank you for sharing your journey, it inspires me to be more mindful to declutter often!

I'm at the same stage as you, but I've juist started a s a geriatric (I'm 76). You've summed up all the pitfalls, failures and successes in this journey. But we overcome them if we stick with it, don't we! Latest challenge is the right hand positioning, but I've just bought a thumb rest, my positioning is far better, I now avoid touching the trill keys, and the squeeks have disappeared.

It really hurts to see how much these things have effected you. I hope you can somehow find piece with this and know that the teacher really shouldn't have done that. On a more positive note I have and love that tarot deck ♥️ I'm so proud of what you have achieved so far and I'm here if you ever need to talk. 🥰

also your teacher is first off an ass ...but also just a human , and what i mean by that , is that , it could seem that she knows something , but she doesn't ... bad teachers will blame the student instead of admitting they aren't capable to teaching ...not all people learn quickly or easily ..thats the whole point of the teacher , to be able to teach them , it easy to teach someone who is quick to learn .. like hora ! you can do what a teenager doing a presentation can do ..

I feel you on the books part. It’s hard to part ways because you’re like ooo well if I had a personal library or want to make one later then keeping the books makes sense. It’s hard to know which ones to keep for now and the ones to let go of in the moment

As you get older, things accumulate the longer you live at one location, so it is good to look at your things and reduce what you don't need. Part of it is making a box or two for memories and thinking about what is special enough to add to it. I am 41 years old living on my own in a condo and I like to organize things every month to remember what I have and to throw away/recycle/donate whatever is not practical for me. My dad is a hoarder and that has made me more aware of my environment and my need to be tidy where everything has its place. I do get clutter, but it's not too bad to deal with. I think you are doing a great job building a habit where your surroundings won't stress you out (especially if you have to move).

Seeing your heartbreak over learning Japanese, I hope you are one day able to approach it again and keep going. There are many people who should never become educators or leaders; bullying and belittling anyone in the learning process is unacceptable , in my opinion. Those are the kind of people with a power complex. The way you were treated is not a reflection of your ability or self-worth, it is a reflection of that person’s own shortcomings and motivations. Educators should nurture and uplift their students, always. Anyone can learn anything they put their mind to. Curiosity is a gift. 🩷

Sometimes the very best gift you can give to yourself is the freedom of letting go of those negative memories, such as from language learning. Those notes (if they were the ones in question ) might be “useful” if you were to pick it up again, but not if they remind you of embarrassment, shame, judgment, failure. Letting go of them and starting with a fresh slate, welcoming back your initial love, without the association to those comments and the academic pressure, is such a wonderful gift. It took me years to adjust to that mode of thinking, but it’s been hugely freeing. In fact, I’m still struggling… WAY too long after flunking my post secondary passion… to reconnect with that passion without those associated feelings. But ditching the physical symbols of that time was cathartic once I’d done it. Great job carving out a new and fresh path forward! (Btw, I had no idea that Layton book existed! I need to look into it!! Is it an art book?? 👀)

@ivanfurber 2 ай бұрын

you’re so right! holding onto stuff that actually represents something really negative prevents us from moving forward or from starting fresh :) i definitely felt so much better and more inspired to learn again after getting rid of them! it was like they were telling me how much i “should” know or how much time i had “wasted” but now i feel so much freer from that negative way of thinking about it. and yes! it’s an art book called the world of professor layton, it’s also got lots of stuff like interviews, storyboards, concept art etc :) i was lucky enough that i bought it right when it came out but i think its pretty hard to come by these days but if u do end up looking for it i wish you luck! i do love the book :)

"Ramblings of a brainwashed person in defence of the 9-5" 😭 lol But I agree. I find work easier/less stressful in a sense it doesn't follow you home unlike school. Of course, sometimes I can't turn my brain off and I keep thinking about work related things (I'm a software engineer) on my free time, but I don't technically HAVE to do that. It's not as stressful as education. There is more freetime.

@ivanfurber 2 ай бұрын

yeah i just find being a not work-from-home employee suits me so well lmao because it just forces a bit of balance 🥲 in education there’s always the sense that you could be doing more, after all you can never literally learn every single thing about a subject so there’s always potentially more you could be doing. at least with work it’s like well i cannot do my job when i’m not physically in the building ! so eventually you learn that your free time is actually free for you to use how you please and you don’t have to be “doing something productive” (whatever that means) every hour god sends !!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone put into words the difficulties of education I have experienced myself. I am currently wrapping up my masters degree and proof reading my dissertation after a big gap after my undergrad. I’m 28 and sobbing like a little girl because it’s been gruelling. I got good marks during my module work but felt really unsupported during disso. I’m not even sure I’m better at my career path after it all. I hate how education ruins the joy of learning. Give it another go if it’s something you’d want to try and find a tutor who is supportive :)

thank you for your comment and i’m sorry that you could relate! I really hate the way the education system is set up as it as you say really ruins the joy of learning. i can’t wait to be free of it again next year 🥲 i definitely would love to carry on learning (anything) tho after i graduate hopefully with evening classes or a tutor in something if i can afford to do so :) learning is such an amazing thing i just wish the education system didn’t literally destroy any interests we have as children 🥲 good luck with your dissertation !

I’m gonna save this video as a reference for a loved one. They have a lot of trouble with hoarding and putting too much value on unreasonable things. In the past I had to help them clean their room, however I’ve then had to come to the realisation that it won’t help them. They go back to their old ways, and one of the more frustrating things was the things they kept. They kept actual trash. For some reason their depression room, full of hoarded stuff annoyed me, but now I’ve noticed that I was actually upset at myself. Because Im technically in the same position, if you look at me as a different person. I’m startimg to also change my ways, and you really will start to heal from past things and be happier and feel more organized. Also: I had Japan as a special interest for years, it has toned down (but its like animal crossing: i see it, i feel good). I started to learn japanese in different ways and can comfortably say that im absolutely terrible at it. But im having fun keeping my streak in duolingo (95 days as of now), and when i hit the これ / それ part, my face lit up because i recognised it and felt like i actually am starting to learn. I did try learning all the basic n5 kanjis (i believe there are 95?) but i dont remember them. I feel like i need to let go of the pressure and just enjoy the slow process.

Those teacher's comments were horrible. As someone who has never even thought of teaching and ended up with a language school and 140 students, I always encourage the joy as I want my students to have a different experience to what I had at achool (it was exactly the one like yours) and here in France it is also the same to my comprehension when we talk to our students, very academic, rigid and critical. I had the best results for both English and French learning when moving abroad or when finding native speakers/private teachers to talk to. You crying breaks my heart. Don't let a harsh person to stop you from your passion for Japanese. Love. Katerina

What you discussed about your language learning really resonated with me. I also developed an interest in japanese /japan as a young teen and was so excited to finally have the chance to learn it whilst at uni, only to have my interest ruined by that. It was so difficult trying to learn it around uni and then even more exhausting trying to learn it around working full time with a long commute, and progress was so slow and so....futile? I didn't really have any chance to use it and i was too shy to anyway. And no matter how much i studied i couldnt understand the Japanese music i was listening to or anything, in fact it was worse and confusing only knowing random bits. I realised that i am terrible at languages , including my own native english and that it was making me deeply unhappy and stressed, but after having spent so much time and money and being so initially enthusiastic it was hard to finally quit. I have only recently been able to enjoy the japanese music etc i used to love so much, without that feeling of failure looming over me. So much time and money down the drain 😞

hi, thank you for your comment! i’m sorry to hear that your experience was so stressful/painful. it is one of the most difficult languages for english speakers to learn so getting anywhere with it at all is an achievement so well done :) language learning is a difficult process and not linear at all, but i think we have an idea of it just being, well the more i study i will just be better and better and suddenly i will understand and be understood. it definitely doesn’t work that way as i found out myself :) i hope you can let go of the feeling that you “gave up”. i thought of it as that way for a long time too but i don’t think that something has to be for your whole life for it to have been meaningful. it started off as something genuine and pure, an interest you had and wanted to explore it. just because you’re no longer doing it doesn’t mean we didn’t get anything out of it! also it takes strength to realise something isn’t working out for you and stop doing it, whether that’s stop it for good or to come back to it later in life. recently i’ve been exploring japanese again and trying to remember what i really loved about learning it and the songs i used to listen to now there is no pressure for me to learn it to pass a test or write an essay. it’s much more freeing but i may still not pick it back up “officially” as it were, or i may do. i don’t know yet :) i’m grateful for the time i did have learning and it definitely brought me so much enjoyment in life and was my first real passion, but now i’m trying to chill a bit and not see my life as a list of things i need to “achieve”. i’m good enough as i am and it’s okay to waste money and time, in fact it’s never a waste and always teaches me something ! take care :)

@@ivanfurber Yes, with more time we can be more decisive with what we possess and with what object we don't feel like to use anymore. I often second guess my objects if I want to give them or not and it's not easy to be sure of that. For example, the creative objects pencils, books, etc... Sometimes I can't decide if I will still use them or not because I'm a lazy person and I rarely get motivated to do drawing, scrapbooking, etc, but at times I like to do it, even if it's not as much as before, I still enjoy it.
