I should draw a little bit each day, even if I don't like what I end up drawing, because I want to enjoy the process of drawing more (I have no satisfying hobbies)

Russian has a LOT of allophony.
Palatalization and iotation
Russian distinguishes between palatalization (soft consonants, e.g. [kʲ]) and iotation (consonant followed by [j]).
Palatalization is most transparently written with ь but with other ways of arising.
Iotation is written with j-vowel characters.
Hard sign
An inserted ъ prevents the [j] of a j-vowel character from becoming palatalization on the preceding consonant.

I want my hobbies to be singular but they are not. I dabble in a lot of things, and that's fine, but it's difficult to feel comfortable in my hobbies when I spend so little time on each one individually. I want a single fixation... but like a good one
ALSO I think I struggle with accepting that once I finish a project, I can't really work on it anymore. it's done!! but I want projects to last forever because I want projects to be my personality
I think I've made porn, standoffishness, and tiredness too much of my personality, it's not exactly conducive of being satisfied with myself
when I like something a lot I feel guilty that I don't do more with it, and overwhelmed when I do
