wynlim<p>wrote a post on how there is too much psychological noise and constant bombardment of happenings in this world, so I started practicing a way to ringfence myself in order to live a sustainable existence + some commentary on why a strong sense of self (and what we truly want for our lives) is important: <a href="https://winnielim.org/journal/ringfencing-my-self/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">winnielim.org/journal/ringfenc</span><span class="invisible">ing-my-self/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a></p>

wynlim<p>I had no idea what/who are endodontists until I recently had a (failed) root canal. In this post I write about trying to find one who is willing to accommodate my covid cautiousness, and also about the (rare) compassion of medical professionals. And of course, a small rant about the unpleasantness of being covid cautious: <a href="https://winnielim.org/journal/on-learning-the-definition-of-endodontist-and-compassion/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">winnielim.org/journal/on-learn</span><span class="invisible">ing-the-definition-of-endodontist-and-compassion/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a> <a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a></p>
