10 WAYS TO DEAL WITH UNREQUITED LOVE

Catching feelings is the easy part. Perhaps you found yourself falling for your best friend or someone you’ve got to know better over time. People often tell you life is too short to not take a chance. So, you go for it, even if it makes you want to vomit. You step up to the plate and make your feelings known. And to your horror, it doesn’t go the way you hoped it would. You wait for them to tell you that they also feel the same way.

“Thousands of ethnic women, from nearly all religions and cultures all over Burma, have come together and taken part in the arduous Free Burma Rangers relief team training in Karen State. Year after year this happens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They learn to cross rivers by rope, land navigate, suture wounds, measure dosage, counsel the traumatized, disarm land mines, and much more. Once finished, they are deployed back to their ethnic areas where they serve those in their communities as well as those who have been displaced to the jungles in hiding. Impressive? Wait til you see the scenes in the film. On that note…:) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re trying to finish a film that tells these stories. We quite literally can’t do it without you, the patron, the friend, the volunteer, the partner. We need to raise the finishing funds to bring these stories to life. We’re in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign and have raised 37k+ of our initial goal of 50k. Help us by sharing the website (link in bio) where you can click a few buttons and add to the momentum. If you’re one of the 215+ patrons who have helped us so far, we can’t thank you enough! It’s so encouraging to see so many people join us to help tell this important story. www.fbrmovie.com”

“Social media isn’t evil.  There are neuroscientists in some of these companies, but for the most part I don’t think it was done maliciously.  But advertising is the business model.  And if advertising is the business model, our attention becomes the product.  Two variables matter to the bottom line: the amount of users and the amount of time they spend on platform.  And what gets measured gets optimized.  So our phones have become slot machines.  We scroll and scroll and scroll, and eventually we hit something that gives us a dopamine reward.  It’s by design.  Because slot machines make more money in the US than theme parks, baseball, and movies combined.  Both Vegas and Silicon Valley know that our brains can be manipulated if presented with a certain set of choices.  Obviously addictiveness isn’t the only feature of these platforms. They’ve empowered so many voices.  I’d just love to live in a world where our most influential technology didn’t measure its success by the time it took from us.”
