Orisla - Beta Test - More than social media

As for me, it would probably be the toxic masculinity or if the other person just never listens to you or not extend the same courtesy as you do. There's really something off about a person who never really try to listen. It is a non-negotiable to me as that person can never lower itself to listen with whatever you are saying. They can never be corrected, it is always them who's always right, therefore, there is no point in staying with them. They'll only listen to what they want to hear and shut the people who disagrees with them.

Back to the Past

I just had a crazy thought... which could also lead to debates and arguments because imma ask about certain cultures and histories.

If there is a single event in any histories that you would want to change... What would it be?

You can explain why or not. Just curious.

Reader's Corner: The Fine Print by Lauren Asher

The Fine Print written by Lauren Asher is the First Installment to its Dreamland Series aka the Three billionaire brothers’ Story. The Novel is a Romantic Comedy book Genre with a slow burn type of Romance. This is where the grumpy and sunshine trope prevails and as well as that boss/billionaire-employee relationship trope.

The Story Follows Zahra, an employee of Dreamland theme park, who as well part of a generational employee of the company. While, the other main lead, Rowan Kane, is the Operating Manager, or basically the temporary director of the theme land. Rowan Kane was given a last will by his grandfather where he needs to prove himself so that he can have a share to the company, hence, he was there operating the said theme land. What I really like about the book is basically the trope, that rich x poor trope. I guess there’s some psychological explanation as to why I really like this kind of trope where a poor woman became Cinderella or Sofia the first who became a princess overnight.

The Novel got a hook on the plot, however, I don’t like how the phasing is slow burn. The relationship is kind of stagnant and slow, maybe I wasn't really a consumer to this type of slow burn Novel. Nevertheless, it is also commendable how societal issues were brought out in the novel like labor rights and inequality or the gap between the rich and the poor, and the Blind sightedness of those in power who only looks up on the company's performance and collectively ignores the welfare of its employees.

The Life Crisis

What age did you have your life realization or what so called "Quarter-life Crisis". I had it early on before I turned 18 and the pandemic kinda triggered it. At some point, I just woke up one day and felt so empty and anxious about the future, it's where I realizes that my dreams are so far-fetched that I don't even care at all. It's just the feeling of helplessness and just the idea of going back to our young self and live our life innocently, playing with the others. I wanna live like I don't need to grow up and think and think about a future I don't even know if it would even be worth it. I'm happy I kinda enjoyed my childhood a bit but reality really sucks, a lot of things happens, like adulting staffs. I'm not even out of college what more problems can there be in the real world?
