Frustration runs amok…
By Jane Tanfei|Apr 22 2013 | Curiousity, Rant, Thoughts
I’m in a truly bad mood right now. I hardly ever say what I honestly feel like saying because my true thoughts tend to be blunt and everyone is so easily offended these days that the truth is no longer considered “a good thing”. But I feel like saying what I feel so I’m going […]

Kowloon Walled City
By Jane Tanfei|Apr 19 2013 | Curiousity, Psychology, Thoughts
timhettler: It’s been 20 years (to the month) since Kowloon Walled City was demolished, but amazingly, it remains one of the most dense structures ever built. As many as 33,000 people crammed into the seven-acre plot, known in Cantonese as “the city of darkness,” before they were relocated in 1993. This diagram, from the South […]

By Jane Tanfei|Apr 18 2013 | Curiousity, Humor, Nerdcore, Thoughts, Writings
(topic suggested by @gunthatshootsennui) Sally Sea Urchin woke up early one evening, stretched her branched tentacles, and headed out for some breakfast.

By Jane Tanfei|Feb 09 2013 | Curiousity, Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts, Writings
I’ve decided to post some thoughts I’ve written in other places at other times but which still make sense to me. This one is about Fear vs. Love: Today I was taking a walk and looking at the surrounding natural beauty of this world. I thought of how peaceful it was and then immediately thought […]

Fate.
By Jane Tanfei|Jan 14 2013 | Curiousity, Metaphysical Discussion, Rant, Thoughts
Fate (and its supporting quotes) has always caused me significant turmoil and many a sleepless night. Why is it that “Everything happens for a reason”, even though I can’t see a reason other than for me to suffer? How is it that “Whatever happened happened because it was supposed to” when I am still hurting […]

The Anatomy of a People Pleaser
By Jane Tanfei|Dec 30 2012 | Curiousity, Rant, Thoughts
The one thing I have struggled with the most of any of my faulty behaviors is that of being a “people pleaser”. By this, I mean that in any situation where someone disagrees with me, I immediately fold my opinions, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and desires into a neat little package and throw them away because […]

What am I doing NOW?
By Jane Tanfei|Dec 13 2012 | Curiousity, Metaphysical Discussion, Psychology, Thoughts, Writings
I have been asking myself this question every time I realize that I am stuck in negative thoughts or when I feel my mood start to drop: “What am I doing NOW?” This is such a simple question, yet it focuses me like no amount of meditation or “becoming the observer” or “letting my emotions […]

On Optimism…
By Jane Tanfei|Nov 02 2012 | Curiousity, Dreams, Metaphysical Discussion, Shameless Self-Promotion, Thoughts
Today, I am feeling optimistic. I am feeling uplifted, I am feeling hopeful, and I have a light heart. I had a dream last night that I was part of a large group of adopted kids who were being treated like slaves by our “mother”. One of my brothers was a huge black dragon called […]
