A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

I stopped expecting that people would ever be kind to me. Maybe, I don't deserve kindness. Maybe I deserve to wallow in self-pity, hoping in vain. Maybe I don't deserve loving words because I cannot maintain a pleasant facade for too long.

Thank you for your kind words. I have a hard time believing them, though. People don't seem to like me all that much irl.

What’s something that brings you joy?

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reading and gaming, mostly. I also like programming and I work on projects.

What kind of books are you into? I just read fantasy book called Rage of Dragons which was really fun

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most kinds. Mostly, I love fantasy books. Currently, I am reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I am holding out on reading Rage of Dragons, until the series is complete. I am intrigued by it's Africa-inspired world and myth.

Siddhartha’s so good! I love those kinds of books about self awareness and growth. You’re definitely wiser than me though, I shouldn’t have made the mistake of starting a series that isn’t don’t yet, but I guess ASOIAF and the Kingkiller Chronicle wasn’t lesson enough for me

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. I am really liking Siddhartha so far. I learnt not to touch the series that is complete, from TV shows. Either, they get cancelled or the quality dips pretty drastically. So, I learnt to wait till the end.

Ya, that’s a good call. I just try to stay unattached when I start a new book or show. If you’re big on sci/fi, Project Hail Mary is good and they’re making a movie out of it. What’s a good book that you read recently?

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I heard good things about Project Hail Mary. I will add it to my evergrowing TBR. :(

I loved this book called Tao The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts. It is a lovely intro to taoism.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll add that to my list. Are you on goodreads? I love cataloging all the books I’ve read and want to read, especially since I often forget which ones I have read.

What sort of video games do you like to play?

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I used to. I haven't used my account in years now.

I love story-rich games. Games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc. Recently, I finished Hollow Knight. I cheated to actually be able play it. I wanted to experience the world and the story, but don't want to deal with the difficulty.
