Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
"Sometimes, the heaviest things we carry are the things we never got to say" Grief is not a storm. It's the cupboard that won't open anymore. He found it on a Tuesday. That quiet, off-colored moment where nothing hurts and everything does. A sock without a pair. A phone with the number still saved. The absurdity of a…
i'm losing the faith that i can ever really be ordinary in the ways i wanted to be ordinary but i hope to at least be extraordinary in the ways i want to be extraordinary i'm gettin a feelin that i want to look at megan boyle's birth chart
Now its 2024. Vibe coding is here. Its like telling the computer to make what you want - mobile app, web app etc and it will create for you. You do need to know some basics and sometimes a lot more than basics depending on what your idea needs to come out and feel alive. Even I, I am also learning this. I am vibe…
I'd like to sell 1000 copies of a self-published book this year. It's a side project, the book isn't written yet and I have no idea how to market it. There are a million ways to fuck this up. Fauzia Burke wrote a book in 2016 about online marketing for busy authors. She suggested figuring out your personal brand,…
Tengo una conexión muy fuerte con las bicicletas, en 2015 fundé mi primer estudio de diseño de productos. El concepto de mi estudio era crear productos especialmente para la industria del ciclismo. Mi sensei (DEP) tenía pegado en su laboratorio/taller un poster con la imagen de una abeja, y en el pie del poster tenía…
This is day-2 of my 30 day atomic essay streak. Ironically, this simple act of keeping a count ties back to something more fundamental. I call it 'mindful repetition'. If you google it, high chances you'll land some esoteric definition of 'mindful repetition' - closer to meditation & learning. However, that's a very…
I started fruit farming a year ago in Lamjung, located in central Nepal. Aim is to reach 100,000 fruit trees. Currently I am at 3000. Biggest challenge facing so far is getting right saplings. Now making nursery to grow my own saplings. Its amazing here. Peace, quite and all forested area. Right on the road, but very…
Be it in relationships, careers, personal development, or any other line of interest. The core is and always has been the same. "Keep doing small intentional efforts" Without this the relationship feels like it has come to an end or at the very least you feel unloved. You can't make Career change, personal development…
Just to be here from the very beginning.
Karena merupakan hal paling rasional untuk dilakukan, jika menggunakan sistem keuangan saat ini. Yang dikenal dengan istilah "FIAT currency". Uang fiat adalah mata uang keluaran pemerintah yang tidak didukung oleh komoditas fisik, seperti emas atau perak. Salah satu kekurangan uang fiat adalah inflasi. Bank Indonesia…
Turns out the hardworking entrepreneur and the wise monk were right. The entrepreneur and the monk both lived the ultimate goal in their minds already. They experienced it mentally. Beautiful women, sandy beaches, all the food and fun in the world. Some say we have to get to that life before we realize it is not what…
We started with Simple HomePage, an HTML or even just .txt file. And then Graphics, Links to a few more pages. We needed more so we have CMS or a program, Perl Script on the Server, so we could publish online. It will Generate the Page from DB and Store it as Static File. Basically Moving the Web Site Editor from…
I have no feeling for the rain, except that I enjoy it, and that I also enjoy people's derision, disgust and disdain for it. Today I have spent the entire day indoors, while it pitter-patters outside, ranging from light pittering to tremendous pattering, enough to shake my windows and scare mighty, bulky, mammoth…
I have successfully wasted 1.5 hours browsing random af videos and reels on youtube. I really struggle to figure out the power of these videos! What is it in them that allows us to just be so hooked to them? I am increasingly feeling excess cringe and also annoyed at the type of content that is "designed to trend" on…
For the past few years, I spend my time working in an ecosystem where colleagues, clients, and donors share concern to bring impactful solutions to improve the life of people who are often excluded socially and economically. We talk about low income segment who earn less, who rely on cash because she/he does not have…
I waited in the train station restroom. A woman exited the stall, telling me, “There’s no more tissue, but I had some in my purse, so I left a small tissue pack on the dispenser.” That is when I knew I am not as kind and friendly as I thought. Scotland's culture is similar to the United States. We don’t dress…
Autonomy and decision-making as an adult really does seem like a simple concept that I should have in my pocket by now. Somehow still, this practice has continued to elude me. Until now… It’s so strange and exciting to finally accept that I can move forward in such a decision as lifelong marriage commitment. And…
Kebahagiaan adalah merasa puas dengan apa yang kamu miliki. Kesuksesan datang dari ketidakpuasan. Kebahagiaan tidak muncul setelah mendapatkan kesuksesan, karena sesungguhnya kita bisa memilih untuk bahagia kapan pun. "Aku akan sukses jika memiliki X." "Sukses adalah ketika aku mendapat gaji sebesar X." Pernyataan…
I don't believe in calling a dog he or she. They don't care if I do, nor should anyone else. By imposing gender onto creatures that just don't relate to others in those terms, we are humanising them. That sounds nice, kinda. But actually, by valuing them in human terms, we discount their value in themselves. Dogs…
I genuinely enjoy listening and learning about the person in front of me during conversations. And I want to get better at this. The art of asking the right questions is crucial in this process. It's the easiest way to become more charismatic, as being a great listener and question asker naturally draws people to you.…
All thanks to Winters: I'm basking in sun while writing this. Sun's warmth feels too heavenly these days. My society's ground is filled with people, majorly grannies with their grand kids. Every person present here has come down of their matchboxes to soak in some Vit-D. I can see so many teletubbies having fun,…
i'm starting to like music that makes me feel the way that literature does ; i'm enjoying picturing things. i think my third eye is opening again (every psychic ever told me my third eye was closed and it's true; i couldn't even picture things when i was reading for a long time; but now i hella can and i prefer music…
Do you have a big plan or idea that you're eager to bring to life? Something that not only benefits you but also others and the world at large? It could be bold, daring, and even risky – there's no limit to what can be accomplished. The key is to work backwards from your end goal to where you are now. Ask yourself:…
You’ve come a long way, GMT. A little more than a hundred years ago, a stevedore on a ship going from the south of China to the Philippines flicked you over to a young man to help his even younger bride with her seasickness as they made their way to their new life in an unknown land. Half a century ago, you mopped the…
Today, when even the worst SM content format ever created (Reels/Shorts) tries to be "informative", its clear that we are living in the age of huge information excess. It is made worse by the "good intention" of continuously learning. So, we have access to limitless information and we consume a lot of it because of…
Modern life makes us hyperfixated on the destination. Get into a top college, get a job by 22, marry by 30 etc etc. Drilling into our heads that the destination is what it is, whereas if you take a step back, you'll realise that destination is largely irrelevant except for a specific reason, the destination helps us…
Today I had an inspiring call with Alex West, a solopreneur that runs a $600K/year automated lead generation business. He has been very outspoken about his journey over the last few years, and done so in an extremely authentic und reflective way. In our conversation, he mentioned daily writing as the reason for this…
Sometimes when I look at something that I have written, I can't believe I thought of these words. These words, they just come to me. I have to put pen on paper and give it form. I feel like a messenger at times. The universe or some cosmic force whispering to me. Sometimes these words don't feel like mine. I never…
Dear person, I am waiting, waiting for you to make a grand entrance and take my breath away as you exit the stage and keep it with you until my heart stops beating. I am deranged yet lucid enough enough to love you till my mind gets lost beyond the depths of the world. I am waiting for when we would just sit together…
It will seem quite ironic - on a platform which is literally titled 'nichless blog', I am writing on a very specific niche - the trials and tribulations of a law firm associate. When you think about the life corporate lawyers lead, you either imagine them cribbing about how their immense work pressure, or you think…
Coming home to a refreshing pool, a beautiful sunset, a delicious BBQ dinner, surrounded by loving parents feels like paradise. I‘m so lucky.
You can’t just do 50%, you need to think of everything Even the conversations No one ever gets greater by just thinking not doing Think more before you say It’s the other way round Ask questions (from others) to yourself, think it more Think questions (from yourself) less, ask it more Put 100% of the things you do A…
Pemuda ini bernama Timoteo Rhousdy. Tak pernah ia tahu kapan sesungguhnya ia lahir, kapan sebenarnya namanya hadir, dan kapan pula ia akan tahu siapa sejatinya orang tua kandungnya. Berkat kemuliaan hati sepasang suami-istri Teguh Fransiskus Rhousdy dan Anneke Lim, Timo—begitu panggilannya—diangkat menjadi anak bungsu…
It happens so often. It’s not a coincidence. What I free-write in my journal predicts what I will experience or read about later in the day. This happens to me at least once a week. Your thoughts are reflected and reinforced by your experiences. It cycles back around so your experiences reflect and reinforce your…
Waiting rooms at hospitals and Doctors clinics are possibly a place where a clock or contraption that measures time, don't have much use. A minute on a clock vis a vis a minute from when the Doctor reads your report on her / his screen and shares the results with you, seem much longer than a minute. While the clock…
Estou lendo "A Cidade Solitária: Aventuras na arte de estar sozinho", de Olivia Lang. A leitura tem me absorvido também pelas referências artísticas da autora, que morou uma temporada em Nova York, uma das cidades mais cheias do mundo, mas onde se sentiu terrivelmente sozinha como muita gente se sente nas grandes…
Today was tough. But here I am, staying true to the promise I made to myself – to write and publish something new at least five times a week. Problem is I don't have anything to write about. The goal was to read, learn, and write about the difference between Aetiology vs Teleology. But anxiety had different plans.…
I kind of want to read Holzfällen twice, in German then in English because I feel that the voice is completely different. perhaps I should read Murakami again, in Japanese. or try to... Philip Gabriel's translations of Murakami is such a special voice and I really really enjoy it but what does Murakami actually sound…
I’m pushing you away because I don’t know how to go back. And I miss you so much. How we used to be. I’m already not recognising myself. I want that care again. I want you in my life. The way it was. Mixed signals and all. But I can’t just walk back into it without an explanation. But how would I even begin tell you…
a little bummed that the sun goes down at 5:30 and at 6:00 it feels like midnight i like the night but still it is far too early to feel like i have to start cooking... i'm starting to like poetry (thanks, sylvia plath) also i am no longer afraid that i won't have time to read all the books i want to read i am now…
My grandfather's 66th death anniversary was a few days ago. My sister and I never met him, but we join our mother in lighting a small lamp in his memory. A recurring thought on death and bereavement came to mind, perhaps a truism for anyone who has experienced deep personal loss. No matter how empathetic a person you…
To be not listening to breakup songs Put yourself into position that will not let you feel deep into your own sorrow That’s pretty stupid Think of everyone else - why do Elon Musk and some successful people can achieve so much Because they do not fell into the bug feeling melancholic emotions There’s so much other…
As far as I know there are two types of hotels in New York. There are the ones I go to now, using an app that shows me good deals for luxe stays based on daily vacancies. These places are modern, well-appointed, display vintage claptrap in the lobby, and feel like Wes Anderson movie sets. The bar has some kid with a…
I was sifting through my social media accounts this morning. Several of my tweets or posts felt like they had been posted a few hours ago. I was recalling my thought process behind each post. How much time I took. How 'important' they felt. How they reflected my mindset and experiences at that particular moment.…
furthermore, i think city folk and even suburbanites should go back to the countryside (because that's where everyone is from, originally; and before that, the wilderness) and start farming again i'm preaching the opposite of that movie "interstellar" where they make farming a dirty ignoble thing and make high-tech…
Imagine it's a brisk autumn morning. The air is crisp, but it's not too cold just yet. The sun hits your skin, calling the hair on your neck to stand at attention as your goosebump ridden arms feed on its elixir of vitamin D. You order your favourite skinny cappuccino as the arabica stained air greets your nostrils…
Yesterday I started working on ramen based on local ingredients from Goa. So far I've swapped the traditional pork topping for a Goan Choriz and I blended cashew nuts into the broth. As I gently pushed the boundaries here I constantly found myself asking what makes ramen ramen? The black and white answer is that Ramen…
Mais uma noite mal dormida por causa do cachorrinho idoso, renal e senil. Amo muito o bichinho, mas estou cansada. Não julgo quem, depois de perder um ente querido do qual cuidava, vai viajar, passear. Cuidar de outrem dá trabalho, cansa. No corpo e na alma. Mas fazemos com amor.
