That’s ridiculous and I love it @daela

What an odd assortment of tasks.

@chelsea – the first task, something very public and challenging for her, to help her
@nothenrygale – also public and challenging for him, ostensibly to help him & another
@daela – private, as in between her & one other person, difficulty level…? to help her & another
@thegilded – less public, challenging for…[Read more]

@daela Yep – with the symbolism and the meaning of Hearts I initially chose Stacey to be a heart cause she seemed pure of intent- and the Resistance seems to be the purest of the groups, so I’m making them a suit together. Trying to make the same idea with the other suits, while keeping whatever characters Otis (bless him) specified in his…[Read more]

I do think there’s an element of being played here, @daela. What if everything we think is a glimpse into Noah’s makeup, his “hatred” of his father, his “complicated” relationship with his mother, even what Horace told Meghan about burning his toys and puppy, is a calculated show of feigned weakness to give him (and Horace) power?

Just like he…[Read more]

My heart is bursting… And I am totally not crying… @pandace88 is crying! 😉 Seriously though, @daela I am shocked that Noah actually found a way to soften you towards him. I’m sure you still don’t like him, but holy wow did he make an impact with your call. @thegilded I read your FB post before I even knew this was the reason, and was confused…[Read more]

Awe! I’m so proud of everyone and their individual journey! I love it when art is actually catharsis. This whole thing feels so…Wholesome. I luv it.

Very proud of @thegilded @pandace88 @daela of (suddenly and haphazardly) taking their time and energy to do these challenges. Even if it’s still some crazy emotion farming, ‘they’ can have all of…[Read more]

@daela‘s call and @pandace88‘s tasks were almost mirror images of each other. Contact someone who’s had an impact on your life (one positive, one negative), think about how that affected you, and then contact them.

@thegilded‘s is a more personal, internal version. Consider how you’ve impacted your own life (I guess you could consider fear a…[Read more]

Wow, these tasks are certainly interesting. @daela @thegilded @pandace88 – I already rate you all very highly as good people and while I don’t think you need “improving”, I know you will take on these tasks with great bravery and characteristic strength ❤

@thegilded – were you given any other parameters, like the post has to be set to public?

did any of these tasks for the three of you have any kind of significance other than the obvious (that you wouldn’t mind sharing)? I’m asking because these just don’t seem on par with the last two in terms of difficulty. @pandace88‘s is definitely the hardest…[Read more]

See, this just adds further confusion to my “task”.

@chelsea – “Open up to some strangers!”
@daela – “Call someone who made an impact on your life”
@thegilded – “Make a FB post about tackling a fear”
@pandace88 – “Reach out to someone who hurt you”

“Brad, go buy some dirty magazines”

All the other tasks genuinely have a positive outcome that…[Read more]

This is awesome. As somebody that’s been a Noah skeptic from the start, it’s impossible to deny that these kind of small tasks — giving us ownership of our agency, proving to ourselves that the things we do have an impact in the actual world — empower us, interaction by interaction.

No idea where Noah is eventually going, but assuming that self-…[Read more]

@daela, what does catching up on “my stories” mean?? Like watching Netflix in the hot tub? That’s odd phrasing?

@daela Thanks for posting this, because I was too busy listening intently to actually listen to what you read.

Noah doesn’t care. Nor should he. We aren’t here to please him or anyone else. What matters is ourselves.
“Try to not let yourself down” is the operative phrase here.

The mysterious @remrelganaps raises the most important and…[Read more]

As I was going about Noah’s bidding today and passing out water bottles and bagged lunches to the homeless, something struck me… The System/BOS/OSDM didn’t matter. We didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was what was right in front of our faces. This was about confronting something that we hate to see on a daily basis and making an…[Read more]

This is fantastic @daela!! Thank you so much for putting together such a digestible version of the experiences so far.

I feel like my head is about to explode, but God, that was enlightening. @daela, your explanation is a beacon of light in all this. Thank you!

@daela Fantastic! Thank you for this.

@daela IS MVP!! This is so good!!!

Just joining the choir here, but: this is AWESOME @daela. Thank you for putting the work into creating this resource!

@daela this is very helpful, thank you!
