Alone not Lonely
I'd rather be alone on a passing cloud than a lonely man in bustling crowd. We often exist in the complete freedom of a lonely life.

Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.

The second post on this journal should have come sooner. When I started, I had envisioned myself writing weekly, if not daily. I had grossly underestimated the toll that a change of surroundings can take on a person. When I was back in India, I would get enamoured by how eminent writers like Hemingway used to spend…
From Write of Passage, Peek-a-Boo and Pocket Pool - https://www.shirleyfrivera.com/blog/peek-a-boo-and-pocket-pool - the following are edited excerpts "... where what you saw was not quite the complete reality of what it was." COFFEE BREAK ... awarded an unprecedented salary increase. Cornered by a Principal in a…
I‘m really bad at finishing something significantly earlier than the deadline. One reason for that is procrastination - I just need this hard deadline in order to get going. I work best under pressure. Another reason is perfectionism. Often, I just can’t stop overthinking and fine-tuning something. Thus can be a good…
Pitchfork is too obsessed with lyrics. They’re analyzing music the way people should be analyzing books. They’re talking about world-building and themes. Idk I feel like music is an experience to be felt and explained rather than analyzed
Another favorite Hebrewism, which translates literally to "living in a movie". It is used to indicate to one's interlocutor that he is so bound up in his own narrative that he has lost contact with external reality. It's a refreshing refrain from the inanity of the counter-claim, that reality is in fact socially…
perhaps we blog for the same reason we do work/read in coffeeshops we want to feel amongst others even in our solitude i wonder if anyone has ever met anyone in a coffee shop and become best friends
I have stepped foot on the hamster wheel, constantly running, keeping things in motion—the act of creation and destruction. In my case, my online persona. Just now, I discovered this blogging site, on my umpteenth attempt to write some sorry excuse of a blog which I will be deleting once again, just like the others I…
Os dias de atestado finalmente estão começando a render. Hoje consegui me manter acordada por mais tempo, tempo suficiente para ver dois documentários e começar uma série. Vi o documentário da Lizzo e o documentário sobre crianças trans, ambos na hbo. Também na plataforma, comecei landscapers, uma mini série que conta…
Acabei de ler Quem Matou o Meu Pai, do Édouard Louis e não posso usar outra palavra que não "cortante" para descrever a experiência de ler tudo em uma sentada. A forma como ele costura sua história pessoal com a política... A rejeição dos pais por ele ser quem é, a repetição dos padrões, mesmo quando há tentativa de…
Have you thought of how bad you wanted this all to be? You went to the MRT and actually despise people who conforms Like you have to skip and wait for the next train Because the train is actually full Full of people you don’t want to be in Don’t want to mix and squeeze with them 80% of the fucking population Hated…
Remember V from furniture? He’s moving through life pretty quick Be like him Put your mind into it Never focus of the past The future abit Think of the present mostly Like he could’ve finished what I was studying within 3 hours Because he wouldnt have thought he had “enough” and rest of a bit; did a good job etc…
The blank page is daunting to even seasoned journalers. Using journaling prompts in the early stages of building a journaling habit solves the blank-page dilemma. There are two strategies for finding journaling prompts. 1.)Buy a journal with prompts Amazon lists 10,000+, ranging from one different question-a-day (yes,…
I hope this is free and online forever because you know we've been burned many times. And we never got rich from all the time we spent on the Internet.
Sabe, eu odeio as obrigações. Tem que fazer isso, tem que fazer aquilo, blablabla. Numa dessas, melhor dizendo, numas dessas, eu sempre acabo em uma espécie de pocket burnout onde fujo pro banheiro com zumbido no ouvido e enxaqueca intensa. Não acho que seja crise de ansiedade e sim uma grande dificuldade em interagir…
People often say running trains the body. For me, it trains the mind. When I first started, I thought it was all about fitness, endurance, calories, pace. But after a few runs, I realized the hardest part wasn’t my lungs or my legs, it was convincing myself to keep going. Every step became a small argument between the…
Lately I've been thinking a lot about death. I don't find myself subscribing to the notion of heaven/hell or nothingness. They seem like two ends of a spectrum. Believing in heaven/hell implies that there is something to work for, and toward. They act like an inbuilt conscience system. Believing in nothingness is…
For the last month or so, I have been sitting on coding up a weekend project to launch for my next "startup" or web app. Whatever it is. I have been procrastinating, again. The idea is simple. It's a read-only portal for all of my wallets. Google Pay, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, Strike, and many more. I took my kids to…
Only people who start and initiated - have that idea and wanted to achieve there Even initiating the group Saying ideas which was thought by everyone But you’re the one who said it FIRST Or initiated the idea Those people are the ones that can change the world You can figured out from the coordination work you did…
No words can pin down what we call reality, but words too are real
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm a thousand feet tall. When I think I've lost you, I feel like I'm dying. I live for all the little moments I spend with you, your smile, your voice, the little curve of your nose and the silly way you make the worst things funny. You are never far from my thoughts. I could write a…
We love conclusions. Conclusions lend certainty to identity, relationships, and thought experiments. For instance, soon after a conversation, we are quick to think,"Oh this person is cool." Even with thought experiments we shade the experiment with what we know to be true from our experience. Let's say if someone asks…
It has occurred to me several times in the past. I feel like expressing it to a friend of the opposite gender. It is the feeling of polyamory - it is not about just sex, it is about having conversations, it is about being available to listen and share with each other. I felt like calling the friend and asking to meet…
There are moments that we don't really feel proud of, moments or decisions that come as an reaction to something, for example, responding in a certain way, with a certain tone of voice, but it just comes out of us. These moments as well as many other might it be good or bad experiences and reactions are still part of…
made coffee at 2am again not because i needed energy just wanted to feel like the main character for five minutes
Just do everything perfectly. Once at a time. Conversations - throw away the unimportant bits. Be clear - tell yourself be clear Even when you got into shit situations Find one way to go out You are good at doing that You need to improve To be better at doing the task while doing though Don’t get stuck at previous…
Ahh powerful moments in history are not the creations of what we make now. it is the evolution of conversation around the creations that dictate what makes history...
There are no holy ideas in Academia. We should always strive to get better, always. I believe in the ideas of improving the human condition with the help of rationalism and science. Understanding the world and finding approximations of the truth that serve as practical solutions to the problems of our time, is the age…
Ever heard that saying? Course you have. Ever seen something genuinely new despite spending every day of your life on the internet seeing things that are little reworkings of things that have been done before? Sometimes yeah. This car thing is new to me. Look at it go!…
I just read Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future, recommended with great enthusiasm by my friend Rahul. In taking his recommendation, I was following my own recent advice https://nicheless.blog/post/135. Unusual for me was that this was a book of science fiction. Nothing against the genre - I just hadn't…
(i've been laying on the yoga mat pouring out all of these thoughts because i guess they must come out) THINGS THAT I WOULD ANHIMMELN ABOUT ME, IF I WEREN'T ME: (anhimmeln is a gorgeous word. an. himmel. to the sky. to the heavens. to divinity.) - can speak 5 languages - good-looking. and very good-looking if i try (i…
Hello out there !!! Exploring this blogger site, so far good. Simple, yet sufficient space for sharing the thoughts. Checking out the already available bloggers, still didn't find any blog to my like. Will continue. Let's see how far this journey goes.... Have fun, ❤️
That’s sort of the goal that you wished to attain That you didn’t have Saw on Bumble the other day “What’s the best thing you did for your mental health: living in the present” • so you sort of just be attracted to yourself, upgrade yourself in so many ways And you’ll eventually attract quality others to you - you…
Thanks to the generous human beings like Tarra sharing their own knowledge-making and knowledge management journeys in LYT. I continue to extract my thoughts about Legacy PKM. Because of sharing in the LYT community, thoughts that have been evolving for more than two years are being further sparked. Ryuichi Sakamoto I…
I crave something, I get it. I need something, I get it. Someone close to me needs something, they get it from me. It's a beautiful feeling to not have to worry about costs. It's a beautiful feeling to not have to worry about money. This has been my experience for the past few days after making what can be said to be…
I know that "Your brAnding is mOre tHan jusT Your logo" is a tired phrase of the 21st century design world and everyone seems to be throwing it around like confetti in a feeble attempt to add depth to their content. And while I'm here to mock it with you, I'm also here to be a party pooper and say it's true. Just…
ahhh quickly sketching out ideas makes me think of how 'real' that idea can become. if the sketch is too perfect to begin with, then that idea is generally not special enough. it is the ideas which start out murky that have the most potential, because they tend to be in a realm where they do not exist yet.
Listen to more podcast. W.o.w just Be more accepting. The charismatic people are usually competent - but doesn’t necessarily means JUST smart. It means knowing the stuff but knowing how to convey as well. It’s good to have the ability to stop 🛑 1. 2. 3. But within these 3 seconds you’re actually buying time to…
it's better to spend time alone than to be bored by people. after the norwegians left, i haven't really enjoyed hanging out with other people our age because all they want to talk about is BOAT PROJECTS and i sit there thinking about how they're wasting my time and how i wish i could go read and write but when you're…
Notice JPA students. Or scholars. They usually get the things once Cos they’re so aware right, their cognitive skills are on point as well. They relate what others are saying. No further delay: like I’m like “oooh wait that makes sense when she say that. Why do I even ask her questions the first place?!” Like yeah…
My older son (see photo) is starting to have serious homework every day. Serious means: if he did it on time, it would be 30 min max. But he doesn't, so I need to check and check and check. Today he was playing Minecraft on his laptop... Instead of doing fractions, learning a song for Music class or reading about…
"The thumbs-up-react is actually a war crime," I texted. This was in response to me using the question-mark-react, to which you said, "the question mark react is an act of terror." This is how I want to fold. At first, when I said 'I'm folding,' I meant like a fitted sheet: loose, unstructured, but still crumpling,…
Writing is something I enjoy doing. Not because it's easy. It's hard, so hard I always avoid it. But It gives me a sense of improvement or fulfillment. ever since I've read "How to take smart notes", I've been writing more and more, for myself. At one point, I wonder "why do I write?" To learn, to think better. So…
Hoje eu sonhei com um pavão. Lindo, voava alto, chegou perto devagar, todo aberto e nas cores mais famosas: verde e azul. Eu tenho uma echarpe assim. Ela tem muitos e muitos anos. Da minha adolescência. Em Portugal. Esses dias, alguém pegou ela pra secar uma mesa e eu dei um grito. Como ousas? Esse pavão começou a…
I am a crow widow. Tonight the crows took my wife from me. I knew this day was coming. They called to her for months, drew her with shiny gifts. And she courted them too, attracted by their intellect, the prehistoric tilt of their heads. She was always too good for me. I knew that from the start. But I never imagined…
Eu tô tomando duloxetina pra dor crônica. E, sim. É um antidepressivo. Não vou mentir aqui dizendo que não tenho resistência a remédios psiquiátricos. Quando o médico falou eu já virei a cara e perguntei se não tinha outra opção. Levei uma bronca seguida de um sermão da enfermeira desbocada que tava no quarto. "Eu…
I'm currently at an interesting event in Italy as a filmmaker and photographer. The location is fantastic, the weather is perfect, yet I feel empty. There are the participants and the client's team. And then there’s me – neither part of one or the other. This would be fine if my work were the main focus, but it’s not.…
I might come off sounding like a sociopath in this post, but oh well. Here goes. I realized today at work that I don't like when people agree with me. I'm on a new team and I've noticed a lot of problems with our processes. There seems to be a lack of automation. Other software engineers may know what I'm talking…
