Presentation

Bonjour,

You guys can call me Kayla or ghguguhuu (it's not my true name...) and I'm 15 years old. This year, I want to grow, to improve myself, to become a better person and as I was walking on the street and I decided that I wanted to evolve.

So, how can I evolve? I decided to improve these aspects of my life:

Physical:

Dance 3 times a week (kpop dance, afrobeat, ballet)

Take a walk 2 times a week

Stretch everyday

Mental:

Write down my thougths

Do some shadow works

30 min without screen everyday

Find my Ikigai

Academic:

Study everyday for 30 min to 1 h 30min (except on sundays)

Improve my skills english

Improve my vocabulary (in french, english and spanish)

Romantisize school and study

Hobbies:

Read at least 5 pages of a book everyday (I love to read so it will be easy)

Learn about philosophy, history and geography

Learn how to draw

Learn fashion design

Learn how to play piano

Learn how to code

Learn about astronomy

Learn spanish

Learn how to play chess

Spiritual:

Grow my relationship with God (I'm christian)

Pray everday in the morning and when I go to sleep

Pray before I eat

Read at least verse everyday

Meditate once a week

Social

Try to make more friends

Develop my relationships with my actual friends

Documentate my process will make me more productive and motivate during this whole journey.

Love you <3

NB:

English is not my native language so I'm sorry if I make mistakes

I'm going to plan everything later with more details (I can not everything at the same time)

(I think that I will add more goals later)

outgrow home - the podcast!

ʚ - introduction

A little bit of this personal project of mine, I will use it to talk about my life, culture and growing up. I use it as a personal diary, in 20 years or in 5 I want to know what I thought and what I believed, what was going on in the world, etc.

ʚ - this podcast is about my life, outgrow home is a love letter to grow and change.

I've been wanting to do something like this for years and finally I feel it's time, I decided that for now and while I buy a better cell phone it will be just a podcast and some tiktoks, probably next month I will upload videos to youtube on topics related to the subject.

I will also talk about studying as a neurodivergent, living in the academy where you are more an object of study than a colleague and all that.

This motivates me more than anything because I feel that you lose a lot of what you think, feel and believe when you grow so many conversations, topics and tastes that are never saved and for me this podcast will be just that.

I am supremely excited.

congratulations to me!

xoxo ana.

recommendations of books! by ana

I read until I fall asleep

ʚ- All books im looking foward to read this summer! some non fic and fic hope you find something that interests you. its kinda long

ʚ- Almost all of them are tiktok recs the user of where i find the book will be in pink.

Book's:

Memoirs / essays

Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture : Cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay has edited a collection of essays that explore what it means to live in a world where women are frequently belittled and harassed due to their gender, and offers a call to arms insisting that "not that bad" must no longer be good enough.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone : From a psychotherapist, and national advice columnist comes a thought-provoking new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world -- where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she).

Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism : The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power.

Romance

Book Lovers : If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

Seven Days in June : Brooklynite Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer, who is feeling pressed from all sides. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning literary author who, to everyone's surprise, shows up in New York.

science / philosophy

When god was a woman ; Here, archaeologically documented, is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Under her, women's roles were far more prominent than in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. Stone describes this ancient system and, with its disintegration, the decline in women's status. Index; maps and illustrations.

It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle : A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field

Written in Bone: Hidden Stories in What We Leave Behind : Drawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents : If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment. You may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent’s behavior. These wounds can be healed, and you can move forward in your life.

feminism / law

Justice and the Politics of Difference : This book challenges the prevailing philosophical reduction of social justice to distributive justice. It critically analyzes basic concepts underlying most theories of justice, including impartiality, formal equality, and the unitary moral subjectivity. Starting from claims of excluded groups about decision making, cultural expression, and division of labor, Iris Young defines concepts of domination and oppression to cover issues eluding the distributive model.

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler-Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 : Original, engaging and striking, Palestine – A Biography crosses historical events, never-before-explored archival materials and accounts of generations, dealing in a simultaneously sober and emotional way with the facts of a tragic confrontation between two peoples who claim the same territory.

Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny : Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist--or increase--even when sexist gender roles are waning? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics, by the moral philosopher and writer Kate Manne.

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity : Since its publication in 1990, Gender Trouble has become one of the key works of contemporary feminist theory, and an essential work for anyone interested in the study of gender, queer theory, or the politics of sexuality in culture. This is the text where Judith Butler began to advance the ideas that would go on to take life as "performativity theory," as well as some of the first articulations of the possibility for subversive gender practices

Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex" : In Bodies That Matter, renowned theorist and philosopher Judith Butler argues that theories of gender need to return to the most material dimension of sex and sexuality: the body. Butler offers a brilliant reworking of the body, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies, sex, and gender. Butler argues that power operates to constrain sex from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex.

Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot : oday's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few.

Aquí no ha habido muertos : El ciclo de terror, corrupción y tragedia impulsado por las drogas en Colombia no terminó con la muerte de Pablo Escobar en 1993. Justo cuando los colombianos estaban listos para dejar atrás el legado asesino de los cárteles del país, se desarrolló un nuevo y sangriento capítulo. A fines de la década de 1990, los grupos paramilitares de derecha con estrechos vínculos con el negocio de la cocaína llevaron a cabo una campaña de expansión violenta, masacrando, violando y torturando a miles de personas.

Poem

Good Grief : When Brianna Pastor released her self-published poetry collection, Good Grief, she was blown away by the outpouring of support from people who reached out and said, “Yes. Me too.” For anyone who has struggled with questions of identity or coped with serious emotional issues, including grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, this collection will help you find hope on the other side.

Instructions for Traveling West: Poems ; A vivid and inspiring poetry collection about what’s possible when we heed our instincts and honor our intuition, allowing ourselves to strike out for new territories of love, pleasure, and peace.

omg i just ove books xoxo ana

Book review ! Book Lovers by Emily Henry

“Nora.” He just barely smiles. “You’re in books. Of course you don’t have a life. None of us do. There’s always something too good to read.” ― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

Rating 5.0 / 5.0 stars

If you're looking for a romance book that feels like it's really for young adults and not written for a 14-year-old girls dreaming with a unrealistic romance, this is the book for you.

The protagonist of a woman obsessed with her work which she loves, with a complex step that led her to develop an excessive sense of responsibility for things beyond her control and a low self-esteem that makes her have little self-care with her mental health, she is a woman with her priorities very clear, she lives for what she does, her career motivates her and makes her happy, She loves books and lives surrounded by them, she doesn't want children and doesn't dream of a small and quiet life, she loves New York City and its thousands of people, she is a complex character but very easy to empathize with, her previous relationships ended for several reasons but the most important one is that none of her ex-partners wanted the same as her.

“So if you’re the ‘wrong kind of woman,’ then I’m the wrong kind of man.” - Emily Henry, Book Lovers (im gonna go insane)

We can learn a lot from her character, the process of understanding how the way she dealt with this excessive responsibility for the guilt she hadn't healed and that when she met someone who really had life plans, personalities and desires similar to hers I could connect with him without changing who he was, without making spoilers I think their relationship feels so real and beautiful that it's a little painful to cry the last 40 pages like a baby.

I loved that you both loved the books, you don't know how much I loved it.

A super enjoyable easy read with an ormance that makes you laugh and cry in less than 400 pages, I really can't stop thinking about this book.

The message of these books for me were:

You don't have to feel bad or unlovable for having life plans other than getting married, having kids and a small, calm life. Loving big cities, being crazy about your career or not wanting to have kids makes you just as capable of receiving a love

It is a great quality to put your family first but if you don't take care of yourself and pursue your happiness you will not be able to.

When something works with someone you don't have to change or sacrifice any part of yourself, God just makes it happen.

we should put 1 book hotter each time we finish a book.

"But “good taste,” even in books, hasn’t always been used to help people connect to the things they’re likely to enjoy. It has often been used to police access to power, marginalize communities, and reinforce existing privilege, and to argue that some specific experiences, perspectives, ways of creating art, and entertainment are “universal human experience.”

On the Bad Binary of “Good” and “Bad” Literature by Josh Cook one of the best articles I have read in a long time! a spectacular read I highly recommend it!

What if we remove classism and eurocentrism from your productivity tips? rethink on what you put and don't say full nonsense.

it's pathetic and useless

Take a break and look at some art!

We study a lot and get stressed out, I think you deserve to see some art.

3/20 Days of Productivity

I love the work stations at my job. If I could take one of these cubicles home, I absolutely would.

I managed to get started on my theory paper for work attitudes; the amount of papers I have approaching is concerning! I've created a plan to maximize the quality of the papers while minimizing stress- hopefully it works!

I like my desks to be a not-crowded as possible when I work!

Spent Monday working on a test for personnel selection. Today is all about compiling data and working on a performance management system (due Monday). If you look real close, you can see that my code in rstudio makes no sense lol

Currently listening to: Spotify's Chill Lofi Study Beats playlist

Managed to work on my performance management project for 2.5 hours today; considering that I also had to go to work for 7 hours, I consider this a pretty productive day!

In other news, it was an absolutely beautiful day out! I'm glad I took the time to walk back to my dorm instead of take the shuttle.

Wednesday | July 31st, 2024 | Day #004

I was extremely tired after my shift at work today as I took a somewhat long nap once I got home. Which caused me to get uninterested in doing anything productive for today but I pushed through it and got around to starting my second attack for ArtFight.

The target of my next attack:

I got interested in trying my hand with drawing this character since if you can tell from my blog on here that Asoiaf/Game of Thrones is one of my main hyperfixations when it comes to media. Not too much of a fan of the TV show and its current spin-off but I enjoyed a good amount of it here and there. Especially it's CGI dragons. Hopefully with that being said I can accurately or at the vest least decently draw the anatomy of George RR Martin's dragons. They are essentially just wyverns that breathe fire. But wings are such a struggle for me 😔.

Here's my current drawing progress on the attack:

(Very much barebones I know 😔)

Wish me luck with this endeavor 🙏🏾

I only got a few days left until ArtFight will be over for this year so I'm hoping I can race against the clock and get it done in time. Plus, squeeze a third attack as well.

Thursday | August 1st, 2024 | Day #005

I mostly spent the majority of this day just going on a shopping spree with one of my friends. In addition to this, got productive and grabbed some groceries I needed to get for myself. Plus, some books that has been on my Wanting To Read list on Goodreads for a good minute and I happen to see them in stores and went ahead and grabbed a few while I was there.

We also bought those murder mystery solving cases games you see in Barnes and Nobles and attempted to finish it together. Unfortunately we didn't finish it in a day as we will try to finish it together next time we can hangout with each other.

I will most likely get back to working upon my second attack for ArtFight sometime tomorrow since I'm off from work that day as well.

🎧 | Song of the Day: Alter Ego by Doechii and JT

Friday | August 2nd, 2024 | Day #006

Today wasn’t quite productive if I’m being honest as I mainly took this day as a breather. Which unfortunately makes me have even less time to get my second attack done for ArtFight 😅. But I was productive in the aspect of me honing my tarot reading skills since I spent the majority of the day playing CK3 and interpreting one of my best friend’s tarot readings she was doing today.

Here’s how I usually do them whenever she sends them to me:

I’m still pretty much a beginner when it comes to tarot but interpreting these readings was good practice for me ngl .

Especially since I got this book to help me:

Totally recommend anyone getting into doing tarot to purchase this book. It’s a lifesaver FR.

🎧 | Song of the Day: Realms by Sarah Kinsley

Saturday | August 3rd, 2024 | Day #007

I wasn't able to finish my second attack for ArtFight unfortunately but I am glad I was able to even get one done even though it was a friendly fire one. But I didn't quite spend the day being too productive as I'm afraid I'm slowly giving in to my lazy ways and ultimately procrastination. Atlas, I was able to crank out a little rough poem for the day before it ended.

Here's said poem:

It's kinda rough since my syllables are varying too much for my liking honestly. Overall, I do enjoy it as a whole so far.

The main inspiration that caused me to write it was mainly me having an essential crisis in my life atm. Whether I should I do the last class I need to graduate to get my associate's in my current major or simply switch my major and start anew since I'm not quite satisfied with my current one for quite some time.

It's really the Arts vs Writing for me when it's coming towards my major honestly 😅.
