We Grow Accustomed to the Dark

https://vimeo.com/139463445

The Bravest — grope a little —
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead —
But as they learn to see —

Either the Darkness alters —
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight

— Emily Dickinson

#TIL in #Emacs and #OrgMode:

If i want to timestamp an entry, I use C-c .
and if I want to do this *without* causing it to appear in the agenda, I use C-c !

The second step is pretty handy for me to date my entries in my decision journal.
I want to keep track of when I made a significant decision and my rationale behind it.
But, not something I want popping up in my agenda :)

My fav affirmations from the song,

I believe:

• we place our happiness in other people’s hands
• your parents did the best job they knew how to do
• I’m loved when I’m completely by myself alone
• that family is worth more than money or gold
• the struggle for financial freedom isn’t fair
• you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
• forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
• in love surviving death into eternity
