So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth, Part 3

I didn’t anticipate a part three 
I can’t find a method to get all my tasks out of my brain for the rest of the weekend so I can relax and enjoy it
I have been categorically told by some people not to write my work goals on the weekend (some people said it was okay but ultimately I was told not too). As in the ones on my work laptop etc. Bro I am so angry at this whole universe. All the minds in the world and no one can devise a planning system
No one can devise a to do list system that works for me
Instead it just stays stuck in my head all the time
This is no way to live your life Susanna
How do we teach small children to remember their tasks
Maybe that would work for me
Maybe that would work for me also
Why is it that things that work for small children so often work for me also
It is very frustrating
It is a double life
Part adult woman in her thirties
Part autistic AuDHD mind that needs childlike things to get by
Part tech goddess
Part woman lying in the gutter
But the difference is
I never did anything to deserve to be lying in the gutter
I know I have ended up there thousands and thousands of times from my seizures
But I never did anything to deserve it
Bro 
Innocence
Innocence is my middle name
Bro bro bro
I did however on the other hand do a lot to deserve being a tech goddess - but I worked so very very hard on it - I worked so very very very very hard on it xxx 🐦‍🔥

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...
