Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I saw this prayer for someone and it seems similar to what I pray for you. So edited it a bit to make it suit you and to how I usually pray. Here's my prayer for you: God please save him Heal his heart and protect his glory Expand his mind and bless his story Help me protect his peace no matter what he's enduring Keep…
É meu primeiro dia de volta ao trabalho depois da cirurgia que abriu minha barriga em três lugares. O céu chora compulsivamente em SP ilustrando bem meu estado de espírito. Eu quero muito ganhar na loteria para não ter que trabalhar. Passaria o dia inteiro pintando, fazendo cursos, cantando e dançando nua e aprendendo…
5pm, sometime in March in the year 2000. Six young men sat on the floor of a sparsely furnished living room in a flat in Bandra. They had spent the past few days working out the details of how to structure their new law firm. That firm needed a name. And there was a flight to catch. We had agreed that the firm would…
Are we ever truly free from the past? Do fresh starts exist or is it just another mind trick that serves more as a consolation than a solution? Maybe consolation itself is a solution when facing hard situations. The mind needs to believe in some reaffirming story, however unreal it may be. Maybe it's all stories like…
Today we had a lawyer friend of my dad and his 19 year old son who is about to study law visiting. In our conversation we started discussing AI and the future. This not only highlighted my deep immersion in the tech world but also surprised and somewhat triggered me by seeing once again just how naive some educated…
Então, ontem depois de remoer mais um pouco o atendimento horrível que recebi na famosa padaria, mandei uma mensagem pro dono. O sentimento é dúbio: "ah, mas foi só um croissant de chocolate..." E ao mesmo tempo "exato. Mesmo numa coisa tão pequena, a pessoa se sente no direito de me tratar assim...". Enfim, seguimos.…
Sorry. I admit it's tough to 'accept' you into the spaces I frequent. Some of you I've muted, some I've just outright not talked to... and it's not really anything you did, I just personally don't want to be involved in your life anymore. Wherever you're going is not where I'll be. I'm happy for you, but we're just…
O ano novo começou em companhia da minha amiga querida Jessica. Pisciana sincerona, vaidosa, generosa e cheia de sonhos, como eu. Falamos mt sobre esses desejos, escrevi alguns em um caderno de folhas brancas onde também tem os últimos quadrados de 2022. Tínhamos planos de cozinhar, mas topamos com todos os mercados…
“On a gathering storm comes/A tall handsome man/In a dusty black coat with/A red right hand.” Peaky Blinders fans will know this song. It's the ballad to which the credits are set, typically with Tommy Shelby striding in slow motion through smoke and mud, peak pulled low, overcoat sweeping behind. The song was…
Este é o primeiro natal que passo em Berlim. Diferentemente do que eu esperava, o dia amanheceu com um solzinho ralé que tirou a cor cinzenta do dia. A temperatura agradável de 8ºC me permitiu usar um vestido midi verde de cetim com mangas 7/8 e fechado até o pescoço. Comportado, bonito e brilhante. Estávamos todos…
I recently bought an electric fly swatter to handle the flies in our house. It felt satisfying to quickly zap them away. However, today I encountered a fly that exhibited surprisingly clever behavior during its escape attempts. It almost seemed as if it knew what was coming and was afraid. Killing this particular fly…
today i did yoga whilst fantasizing about being "LA rich" being "LA rich", I would do yoga outside, absorbing heat from the sun like a reptile do yoga inside, cozy-style lounge about, read go on "reading vacations" at bed & breakfasts in Big Sur eat salads, drink wheatgrass shots drive around in a sexy stylish…
Então... Eu tenho notado, como a maioria das pessoas cronicamente online, que a magreza voltou com tudo. Fica difícil sustentar que você quer continuar sendo uma pessoa gorda quando o cenário geral, tipo, 90% das pessoas já não tem noção e não faz mais sentido a máxima de "não comentar sobre o corpo do coleguinha."…
I took off my bracelet i recently made, in the night, whilst asleep and must have set it in another dimension because it's not reappeared yet today. This is reason to clean my room. Which I'm not happy about. Executive function is not a strong force in me.
i'm doing insurance claim stuff and i thought about what to name the folder where i'm gathering all my receipts and i named it what it is, "consequential damage" but then it struck me as somehow poetic and badass and very usable for an artistic project.
Easier said than done, right? I know this firsthand because this has been my problem for years—decades, even. You see, I've always loved writing. I started crafting stories and essays at eleven years old. The writing wasn't great, but I loved the process: formulating thoughts and ideas, turning them into stories that…
Voltei pra minha casa. Estava com saudades daqui, do meu namorado, das minhas cachorras. Zero saudades da rigidez, do nervosismo, da ansiedade e aflição ligada a arrumação da casa. Amanhã, continuo de férias do trabalho formal, mas trabalharei aqui lavando paredes, o vaso sanitário, o box. Vou tirar o pó das estantes,…
we never smile at people, thinking it's trivial. never greet upon meeting, cause it's said without meaning. never thought to reach out and stay, because-what will others say? we wanted to help them, there, but will the others spare? never went ahead to dance with our dear, we'll get judged-came this fear. never enough…
I understand they happen to be there because it's cheaper and simpler, but what a tasteless and generic place to put them. Lighting can be beautiful if you set the sources gracefully. Indirect lighting can make a magic atmosphere and functional lightning can be a great tool depending on your goals. But "one light bulb…
It's been over a decade since I last started a blog, so curious how this will feel. Blog feels like an outdated term for this—I guess I mean, "long-form tweet!" Just perused the aforementioned blog I made as a young person. I'm so glad to have a record of that time, even though I didn't write much about anything that…
Masculine powers vs Feminine powers Is just a natural attraction energies It’s not your job to make people “attracted” to your energies Each person is finding that partner that can succumb to their energies levels Live your best 20s Work on your personality The time to be the best extreme at everything is now Taken a…
I've been quick to dismiss most books as too long. Here's my logic: Books need to be thick enough for customers to feel like they're getting their money's worth at a bookstore. Hence, publishers create incentives that result in books being 10X longer than they should be. However, I recently discovered an added benefit…
I am feeling very overwhelmed by my work. It seems like a never ending pit of tasks to do. No matter what i do to figure it out, it is still pending. More and more and more. I cannot seem to reach any conclusion. Perhaps this is because it is such menial, manual work. Perhaps because it is the extent of…
I’m learning to be content with the little things, I’ve spent the last 3 years on a treadmill, chasing after elusive success. Dreaming that maybe just maybe I’ll hit gold, but all the while neglecting the jewels I have here, in my home, just dying for a moment of my attention. I look away from the screen for a second,…
When studying something Im not particularly a fan of I just eat, not because of hunger, but because of the necessity to stay awake. This happens even if I try all the tips and tricks from studying with other people, taking breaks, sitting in the right positions, making it interactive... my eyes just close. Starting to…
Esses dias eu vi no Twitter uma moça falando da mágica dos reaproveitamentos na cozinha dela porque ela nunca mais vai conseguir reproduzir um prato em sua forma "original" porque a vida é cíclica e cair um raio duas vezes no mesmo lugar é quase impossível. Num dia você pode ter arroz e legumes assados com um…
With a 'Morning Routine' you inherently assume that you're a morning person. You're assuming that you or someone else has enough energy to face the world as soon as they wake up. I'm not a morning person. I'm a night owl. Or, at least I thought so until recently. When the world is getting ready to go to sleep, I wake…
Sometimes I feel like I see my grandmother in your eyes. The way the soft lines across your speckled face crinkle when you laugh. How your hair reaches up to the sky like the winding branches of a tree. I think sometimes I see my grandmother in you where she is not. When your eyebrows crease and I can't tell if I had…
Sometimes we only miss something when it's gone, and then we feel an emptiness in its place. The art should be to be aware of this even before the void appears. To fully appreciate every moment while it's still present.
Só temos controle sobre como reagimos às coisas que acontecem conosco. Não temos controle sobre o que as outras pessoas fazem ou sobre o que acontece conosco.
Think while do, but do more than think - is what a youthful soul would do Join more events meet more people do not be afraid nobody can bring you down except yourself Energy levels - always want to know the latest updates Not afraid of asking questions Knowing that eventually it will go to you Knowing the latest…
ahh my imagination has been sparked by a utopian concept by Superstudio. 'The Third City: New York of Brains' is a concept where a cube houses 10,000456 living brains so they can survive humanity's destruction. however i imagine what if humanity is never destroyed? we will be able to go visit this place, it would be…
Last weekend, I ran for two and a half hours straight. No music, no podcasts, no one beside me, just me, the road, and whatever my mind decided to say. I used to think that sounds lonely, but it actually never feels that way. It’s something I look forward to all week, those long, quiet hours where I can hear myself…
This blogging platform (the one you are looking at) was created by Louis Pereira, a student in Write of Passage which I was also taking. It is very simple and clean. I like that, so I decided to try it out. I am trying to see how having writing viewed by others changes it. How does having an audience (or even just the…
Call me A.S.J. Just turned 16. Dont expect some Shakespeare words in my blog.I mostly use this like a digital diary when i have a shitty day or im going through smth. My interest -linkin park -cry of fear -afraid of monsters -nu-metal -playing musical instrument (guitar & piano) -video games -midnight -silence -music…
To not feel stagnant is to keep learning everything Consistent hunger for growth I used to think like I need to be doing this job before so I could be goood But I guess I was wrong The fun part is not knowing it at all And finding the answer I think that’s the joy of the game Consistently going into new things is a…
要怎么成大事? You need to keep a habit of doing everything small correct and nicely; Else you’ll just reward yourself for being as you should: like being on time, went to the gym, don’t keep yourself too harsh but don’t keep yourself too loose & without control and discipline. “The most free people are the ones who control…
Building a habit of daily writing is one of the things that many folks out there recommend. Just the act of taking some time out and put stuff out in a physical or digital notepad is enough for the effects to start compounding. For many, this would be okay. The issue lies on you eventually wanting to publish that out…
While the beginning of the year was all about writing, the last few months have shifted to making musical devices again. I kind of abandoned my story after a few months of work. It’s not totally gone though. I still have ideas brewing and I will finish it one day! Right now though I am happy to be making things again…
Twitter 是：一條時間軸，一個段落的最小單位，一個間接的利益輸送管道，暴政的起點，抗議暴政的火苗，一首 90 年代的人類詩，一個群魔亂舞的廣場，一個知識的起點，一個讓人發笑的地方，一個奈米的創作地，一個濃縮時間的膠囊，一座巴別塔，一條又髒又臭，但能把所有人載往目的地的地鐵，在夜店外的垃圾堆，一片播放著白噪音的牆。 儘管如此，我愛 Twitter。
If there's one thing you should know about me, it is that I adore cinema. It is my favorite art form without a doubt. Its powers are like no other. And what would be better than to make more people aware of its majestic qualities. I present you a list of 5 movies that would interest to watch and dig deeper into this…
Recently, I faced a challenge with relapse, and it was difficult to cope with the urges triggered by external factors. However, I managed to let go of the temptation and move forward. It was a tough day, but I found relief in staying strong. Although I regretted the relapse, the experience offered me a moment of…
She was in my dreams last night, this is not the first time that it has happened. Her thoughts resurface every now and then. I look at her pictures sometimes, think about our times together. Were we just kids who did not understand love completely? Did we weigh ourselves down with the word 'love', when instead we…
Mais uma rede social? Mais uma "plataforma"? Pois é, eu me defini como um "arroz de festa" em uma conversa, alguns dias atrás. Toda rede social ou plataforma de comunicação que aparece eu tenho curiosidade de conhecer e experimentar. No fim, acabo usando mesmo só umas poucas, e cada vez mais raramente. Mas quando tive…
To be at to have a sharp brain Keep working Reading Have a social life When tired - take it slower; but you’ve never heard people said STOP 🛑 just slower The first step is always the hardest First step of “吃苦” - of hardworking Allocate an “action card” to it For example if I put the laptop on my lap on the MRT - I’ll…
I want you to know I mean the things I say. But how can you When the things I say Are the things I am expected to say Whether I mean them or not?
“Therefore if God gave them the same gift as he also gave us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder God?” Acts 11.17 NET. God gave the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to those gathered in Cornelius’s house so that everyone could reach this conclusion: the gospel is for all. MORE: Cornelius’s…
16g of coffee ground at a setting of 1/30. 240g of water heated to 95 degrees. Bloom the coffee with 30g of water and leave it for 35 seconds. Then pour the remaining 210g of water in slow concentric circles. That's my daily routine to prepare my first cup of coffee upon waking. As long as I stick to light or medium…
