Thanks for sharing this-- the linked post articulates things I have been struggling with for a long time but a. have been afraid to share with anyone and b. gives me a framework for understanding the pattern of occurence of these intrusive thoughts.
Really thought this was going to be about Daniel Ladinsky, who wrote multiple books that pose as translations of the poetry of Hafiz, but actually if you read the forward it is merely poetry “inspired” by Hafiz, he claims Hafiz appeared to him in a dream with these poems. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/6/14/fake-hafez-how-a-supreme-persian-poet-of-love-was-erased
Which was really deflating for me because those Hafiz “poems” helped get me through some angsty times in my young adulthood.
Slay the Spire- All of 2024 I’ve been playing solely with one character for a month and seeing how many A20 heartkills I get. I’m not a high level player or anything, I average like 1.5 wins per month, but I enjoy playing the game with some limits/structure.
Anyways I wrapped up June with a Defect win, with a deck that did most of its damage with dark orbs, which is unusual. Looking forward to July and good ole Ironclad.
Other things, I’ve been wanting to play Baldur’s Gate 3 so bad I am considering buying a PS5. Excited about the library of games I’ve never played about to open up.
