I'm guessing about the authors of these three pieces of graffiti written on a ventilation shaft of the MTR at Kowloon Tong station: there were three teenage, female, native English speakers, who shared the same felt tip pen while waiting for a bus. One or more was smoking a cigarette (because it's hidden from street view). The thoughts are interesting/sensitive, but they didn't finish one of them because their bus had arrived. I note the same mistake of a dotted "i" while the rest of the letters are capitalized. However, the mistake was probably made by different authors suggesting they are in the same class at school, and were taught the same mistake/were not corrected. The writing is delicate, suggesting the authors were female, but the "quiet hope" sentence was written with a heavier hand, suggesting either confidence or possibly a male author. There is some inconsistency about the dots at the end of each sentence, with most placing three, one four and one five.

35 research participants and 1.5 hour interview for each leads to a lot of stuff to analyze. We've really gone crazy with the stickies since this photo was taken last week. I'll post a version of the current space as soon as I stitch together the photos I just took.
before looking at others with judgement you must first judge yourself.
Big thanks to MONDO RODRIGUEZ for helping me out with this shot !
enjoy :]

Personality Profile:
You are a power driven risk-taker. Your desire to obtain power quickly propels you to take large risks, both financially and socially. You are so effective and confident when it comes to making short term decisions at crucial moments that it almost becomes contagious. Your high confidence level leads you to focus on the rewards of your decisions, rather than over-calculating. Your directness may make others think you are rude. You know what you want and you want it now.
Some people consider you a political mastermind as you are able to take advantage of peoples strengths and weaknesses so effectively, that it enables you to undertake and achieve monumental tasks. Others tend to characterize you as confrontational, but you take this as a compliment, and in turn you characterize these people as push-overs. You would rather stand up for yourself and those you care about and face confrontation, than avoid confrontation and give in. You act promptly when it comes to making big decisions and thus others look to you to carry the burden of responsibility.
Your view of other types
You consider Academic Types to be a valuable resource of advice. You constantly interact with them to make better decisions and you respect the opinion of certain Academics. Artist types do not concern you for you look down on them, you believe they waste too much time. You like Charmers but you dont always trust them or bring them too close. You can relate to the Gambler types' risk taking personality but for the most part you do not trust them. You may have some things in common with Blue collar types, but for the most part you only interact with Blue collar and White collar types during the course of business. You feel no pity for Drifters. You believe that they are lazy.
Other types view of you
Academic Types view you as potential business clients and as great resources to expand their contacts. Therefore they treat you with respect. Artist types see you as egotistical and selfish and they may only interact with you during their employment. Blue collar and White collar types sometimes disagree with you, but they respect you for the most part. They may even be envious of your lifestyle. Charmer Types tend to like you and try to get close to you because you possess the intimidating factor and confrontational attitude that they lack. Gambler types regard your type as their main competition to be on top. Drifter Types tend to feel that you types are a bad tempered bully.

This is a mental health practitioner's perspective on hoarding that confirms much of what I've observed with my clients. Some common threads: perfectionism plays a large part in hoarders getting behind with what they do with their stuff thus prompting them to become overwhelmed and then giving up on any sort of housecleaning. Hoarders have an appreciation for things beyond their obvious uses and often are very creative, but seem to lack the organizing gene.
Some interesting insights on the hoarding brain, described as having too many branches on the tree. Meaning that there are multiple paths the mind is prompted to navigate when processing which also leads to overwhelm.
I attended a day long workshop with one of the writers and the take away message from that day was that hoarders have a perception problem. They do not see that their stuff is making their home a dumpster and that they are not actually rescuing anything by picking up one more thing from the "Free" pile on the street. My experience with one client is that she has an inability to know what is important because everything is important.
Some poignant insight about causes of hoarding include absence of warmth, acceptance and support in childhood leading the child to form attachments to things and endow those things with human emotions. Thus they can't throw an item away because there would be no one to look after it.
Little is discussed about treatment in the book. The authors have written other books to help practitioners in the field. This is largely an anecdotal book and the stories of hoarders do offer a lot of insight since you get the whole history.
I have a couple of bones to pick with the book. The authors mention the National Study Group of Chronic Disorganization which was started by one of my organizing colleagues. The authors believe the term "chronic disorganization" is a euphemism for hoarders. I think that's unfair; a case of a hammer seeing everything as a nail. Mental health practitioners are guilty of seeing every thing in pathological terms. Everyone who has clutter is not automatically a hoarder. Hoarders have an attachment to their stuff that goes beyond the utility of the item. Plenty of people with clutter would be happy to let it go once they found the things they really needed.
The authors also don't think that the members of the NSGCD go far enough to actually help hoarders. I think we're changing that especially since she told us how. Cognitive therapy is the prescribed mental health treatment for hoarders. This just means that someone sits with the hoarder and asks questions that would lead them through to a rational conclusion about why they are keeping an item.
In addition I like to keep the hoarder working on sorting their stuff for so long, they are sick of it and they vow never to let it get this bad again. Then I coach them on setting limits on the incoming stuff. I also let them talk about the stuff or if they prefer, they can ask me to talk about something—anything if they want to take their minds off it. I feel this raises their self-esteem to be able to relate to me on an intellectual topic rather than wallow in the shame of their mess. Higher self-esteem often results in a higher level of energy for the task at hand. This is the Amanda theory that will either make or break me in this work.
Cognitive therapy is all about getting the client to look at their feelings while sorting through stuff. Then helping them to get past their sticking points. The theory goes that when the emotion is worked through the therapist can help diminish it, but I had a therapist tell me yesterday that this isn't necessarily so. People just like to go on about their feelings about everything. Some therapists create a crisis around the stuff on purpose to light a fire under them. This is too messy for me. Therapists like emotional messes. I like to bypass all the guilt, blame, grief, etc., etc., in favor of just getting the job done. I have had clients tell me they appreciate this quiet efficiency. Others like the drama and I am there for that too, but I don't go looking for it.

Northamptonshire's players gather for a pep-talk after taking a Kent wicket - leaving the hosts 60-3 - on the fourth and final day of a 2023 season-opening County Championship Division One fixture at the St Lawrence (or Spitfire) Ground, Canterbury. Regrouping, Kent went on to win by seven wickets.
Cricket has been played at the St Lawrence Ground since 1847. Previously, a Tudor manor house, latterly called St Lawrence and demolished in 1839, occupied the site.
