I am sort of enjoying the show and how the story is coming along, but I was just wondering if the show will keep getting better as we progress. The whole Tom Mason keeps coming back every time he's challenged with something, I feel the abrupt end of Season 1 with him going into the spaceship and then walking back alive with some parasite in his head, which got removed, and then he sort of gets blown to bits on the bridge during the second or third episode and comes back alive, I feel the story is moving a bit fast. I mean, the Season 1 I watched was incredible because it was building the whole scene up, but Season 2 just began out of nowhere... like they are just pushing through... so yeah. Will it get better as we progress, or is the show going downhill?

I don’t think it was one clean moment. It felt more like something breaking slowly without making noise.

There was a time when I believed people showed you who they were through effort, not words. So I trusted patterns that looked stable on the surface. Replies that came back eventually. Plans that were always “soon.” Conversations that stayed warm when life was easy.

Then things shifted without warning. The same people who once felt close started disappearing in small, easy-to-explain ways. Messages left unread for longer than usual. Calls not returned. Plans that kept moving into “next time” until they stopped existing altogether.

What made it worse was how normal it all sounded each time. Nothing ever felt like a clear ending, just a slow fading that you keep trying to misread as temporary.

I think the real change in me happened when I stopped trying to complete those gaps in my head. I stopped assuming effort was there just because history existed. After that, my standards became less emotional and more observant.

I absolutely feel like devoid of life when I come back home. It feels like I have lost interest in almost everything... I don't feel like watching the TV or going out with friends to chill, or even put Playstation on for a while to play my favourite titles. I have literally zero idea, why I feel that way especially on the work days... Although, on the weekends I feel much better, I suppose better than what I feel over the weekdays. Have our default mode (after working a decade in corporate) become sluggish or sulky? I don't know how else to describe this pathetic stuck sort of a feeling.

It’s already hard to explain to him how GEO/AEO works, and now he is asking me to run SEO on Reddit. I told my client specifically that Reddit doesn’t work the way traditional SEO or GEO works. It banks on actual conversations, genuine communication, people who are sharing original experiences... and you can’t just add keywords expecting that it will come up in the searches. Yes, it’s query based, but to optimize, you need to take an entirely different approach. Instead, he provides me with a list of high-volume, low KD keywords, which aren’t even long-tail, probably commercial intent keywords, and expects me to rank them on Reddit. I am already half-assed on explaining how AI citation works, but now this... lol.

I think for me, it was Mojo Jojo. Because, he was neglected and his desire to be loved is what drove him crazy.

So I had a client and he has been going on about how he wants his brand to appear in the top Searches all season long, and now he's demanding that his website should be cited in AI Overview & GPT engines like ChatGPT and Gemini. I said fine, you will need to invest in off-page link building practices where we can get your brand mentioned in multiple high authority blogs & leverage Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and other off page strategies to create a decent exposure for Google or any other LLM model to pick you up as a trustworthy source. Half of the keywords on which our team worked is already tanking #1 in Google Search. But, now my client is putting a very odd request with us, saying that you need to feed the AI system by asking various questions with AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini so it learns about our product/service. I don't know who put that information in his head, but it got me wondering, is that even legitimate or possible? If so, how? Can anyone elaborate.

I ll share mine, Black Vortex. Now, it's your turn.

People rarely change just because you explain yourself better.

I used to think if I found the right words, someone would finally understand me and act differently.

That almost never happens. Most people change only when they decide to, not when you convince them.

I also learned that ignoring small problems doesn’t make them disappear. They usually grow quietly until they become big enough to force attention.

Another one is that not every argument needs to be finished. Some conversations just drain you more than they solve anything.

So out of curiosity, What’s a lesson you learned the hard way?

I am about to turn into a father, and I am literally confused where and how to begin this beautiful and mesmerizing journey.

A bit of advice will be much appreciated.

I have always wondered, if writing a strong copy means just writing with clarity or is there more to what sells your products/services.

Someone gave me very genuine advice the other day and it was to write from your own mind, from your heart or whatever comes to you naturally (of course after putting the legwork in research)!

And I thought why not ask fellow copywriters what that one piece of advice they would want to share regarding what works/worked!
