Let go
Sometimes, the best thing that you can do for yourself and the one you love is to let go. It's a difficult decision but is also the right decision.

Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Sometimes, the best thing that you can do for yourself and the one you love is to let go. It's a difficult decision but is also the right decision.
Yesterday in a class on human breast milk we discussed how it is considered a living tissue by some, because the breast milk contains living cells too. Many of these cells come from the gut associated lymphoid tissue(GALT), is what one of our professors said. And surely that led me to the next possible question, what…
I'm currently reading a highly recommended history of the American Revolution. It's a fairly big book with nearly 800 pages, and I'm about a third through. I'm not going to write much about the book itself, because I plan to write a more detailed review when I finish. I like history and read a lot of history books.…
(The following is a role playing diary written from the perspective of my Project Zomboid character) Days became easier once I got a working car, tools, weapons and a nice place far in the woods. I'm busy every day, yet sometimes I enjoy little moments like this more than before the outbreak. I was drowning in a badly…
Writing without proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling is like attending Zoom meetings in your pajamas. Everybody knows you're there. What difference does it make, one might ask? Why go through the trouble of being presentable when there is no functional difference? We are not purely functional beings. A…
I'll start by saying this is might be a controversial take. I'm not here to stir the pot, but I'm here to try and keep my own sanity. This past week brought a lot of noise around Elon Musk taking over Twitter. I must have listened to 10 podcasts, glanced at hundreds of tweets, and probably missed thousands of more…
Today, I hiked in a remote area. It was beautiful, but very muddy and slippery, and I fell a few times. Nothing more than wet feet and dirty clothes resulted, but it made me think what could happen if something serious occurred. Today, we have emergency services ready to deploy with cars, boats, and helicopters.…
The quantum of the gap between need and desire is inversely proportional to the degree of contentment we possess.
It's getting easier and easier to produce mediocre information. Anyone can remix anyone's ideas and churn out garbage at a disturbing rate. The only question on peoples minds anymore is 'why should I care'? The price of entry is genuine human experience. You need a story about an actual, real-world experience that…
Over the past 20 years, we've gone from shipping software on CDs to instant updates on the web. Though, as with most things in engineering, it's only a tradeoff. Let's explore why. When it took months to prepare a release and literally ship it, teams took their time to make sure everything worked as expected. Mileage…
There are times when I look at contact list in my phone and feel like talking to a couple of them without any agenda. But I am afraid today to do so. I could do it easily in my younger days when the only purpose of phone was calling; SMS and listening to music were additional features. I did it for years and it helped…
Its 16/Apr/2023 I have entered a weird patch in life where I dont know what I feel. I am turning 25 and that's not making anything better. Its been more than half a year I escaped an extremely abusive family and the trauma still lingers on. Too broke to have a therapist. It feels horrible, I feel like I am fighting…
the point is that you’re supposed to be out there looking and finding, trying and making and dreaming. don’t get too bogged down in the how or the why. the bees go on buzzing. the way makes itself. don’t bother analysing it too much. take a step and then another step and then turn around and go the other way, people…
"Figuring it out". This has been my go-to mindset for the last 3years. I am someone who thought going to college was useless, to now regretting not experiencing the college life. Now I feel I could have explored a lot. I am someone who started my Chartered Accountacy Course, because my parents told me to, even though…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i dont see failures as a negative. they frustrate me, knowing i can be better. i can see what can be improved and how to execute it. the hardest step is becoming better than the vision of my better self...
Culture is not something that is written in documents/slides or on walls. Culture is created during everyday moments during company building. Culture is the unspoken actions and behaviors of the team during daily operations. Culture starts with founders. Culture is the extension of founder's behavior and personality.…
Recently, I had a conversation with the mother of a friend. She asked me what I’m planning to do after finishing my undergraduate studies this summer. Saying that I don’t want to pursue a master’s degree and rather start working directly was already hard for her to comprehend. Then she asked, “So where are you going…
Going out with friends that have the same hobbies as you is just another level, today we went to the museum because we had a sketching assignment. It felt so cute that we were all walking with our sketch pads and pencils and sitting on the floors of the museum to appreciate artworks. I'm actually studying what I love…
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, ❤️

Skyggene gjør seg alltid større enn de er. Mørket tåler nesten ingenting. Det går i stykker av litt lys.
After watching the live feed for hours, I managed to find this post which seems to be a direct response to the previous one: === anon0330 I’m not a guy who writes long posts. But I have to respond to the holier-than-you post circulating the other day. People who condemn los Raznos seem to conveniently ignore how the…
sabe uma coisa que me irrita profundamente? pessoas que olham uma mulher em uma relação e daí olham para o homem e não se constrangem em agir como se a mulher tivesse sido salva por aquele homem maravilhoso que teve coragem de abrir o caminho de espinhos para oferecer amor incondicional a ela..... preguiça em níveis…
I went to see Batman. The one in which Rob uses a ton of eyeliner. Enter Screen 4: The gender ratio is messed up, not a surprise. During the intermission, I got to know, not very far away there is a place where the gender ratio is much more messed up. Screen 5, The BTS Concert Live Streaming. Now, how did I feel to…
At times not doing anything even though you have a lot on your plate and too much in your mind going on is actually relaxing. I have been in that phase for the last three days and i feel lighter a lot. Too many thoughts passed through the mind and they did not bother me much. Often we are told don't take life too…
one day we will no longer understand proust, just as we don't understand beowulf but we will always understand liszt and his liebestraum.
Ahhhhhh.... the character gazes down into the water at their reflection. nothing else matters, not even the sound. it is 'heard' through one's mind. satisfaction in what they see...
I. Humans began their story on this Earth as brutish, violent, tribal knuckle-draggers, barely distinguishable from their ape relatives. Over thousands of years of gradual genetic and cultural evolution, humanity has marched through history to achieve progressively more peaceful and prosperous societies. We're slowly…
Learning to be sociable is a skill Because life is not all about technicals and academia - you need to put effort into having to know yourself as a human Even now you talk sound like a robot And the number 1 first rule to be a sociable human being is to: Be your OWN human; not feeling anxiety or fear or "trying to…
Starting a new business, or a tool, or a startup is considered an enormously good thing. And when you start something and shut it down after some time, you feel equal amount of sad. Why is shutting down considered bad when its the opposite when you stop for the right reasons.
This is me writing about how I managed to wake up today and being poetic about it because why not haha I peered out, blurry and blinking leaving dreams behind - most of myself selling crumbs of bargains for an ounce of sleep each I promised myself the edge of the world my eyes in line with the slit in the doorway, -…
Do you ever have one of those moments when the storm clouds part, clarity strikes and for a split second, you are able to join the dots? It happened to me yesterday reading an excellent long form piece by John Kolko on Abductive Reasoning. (http://www.jonkolko.com/writingAbductiveThinking.php) No, I hadn't heard of it…
Running is my way of meditating. When I run, my mind enters a state of calm and focus. My breathing becomes my tempo. Running gives me space away from the digital world. It gives me space away from people. When I run, I feel my body energize — each muscle of mine gets into gear. I feel the sweat almost have a…
I've been thinking about how civilizations of the future would organize their data. What mechanism would a galaxy use to work together and share reliable information accurately and instantly? I started thinking about our own history and how we manage knowledge in our most complex societies. As much as sci-fi movies…
Take a new leap of faith Read the book Go to events Go to sports meet new people Travel the world for half a year Talk to people you wanted to talk to Listen to podcast Ask for a raise Don’t escape from the hard things in life by short term dopamines (insta, fb, YouTube, dinner, sleep, etc…) Put your mind in it Put an…
Eu li uma newsletter que eu curto muito ontem reproduzindo um trecho escrito por Isabel Allende que dizia o seguinte: Talvez estejamos neste mundo para procurar o amor, encontrá-lo e perdê-lo, de novo e de novo. A cada amor, nascemos de novo, e a cada amor que termina recolhemos uma nova ferida. Estou coberto de…
I'm currently visiting my grandparents in the Franconian countryside. Here, everything moves slower, costs less, and feels more personal and comforting. The scenic views and quiet pace remind me of a simpler, more orderly life. As I sit on my grandparents' balcony, overlooking the village and the fields beyond, I'm…
It's been 1.5 days since I underwent a surgery to repair my shoulder, and I can't believe that I've been struggling to find non-work thoughts and activities to fill my time. Persistent anxiety about the state I've left certain projects, which have been all-consuming in recent months, even manifests in my dreams. I've…
Do things you think are stupid but other people swear by. Maybe you’re the stupid one. - Nat Eliason I fought the recommendation to journaling. Now I know everyone should. If you want to start small with a journaling habit, start with gratitude. Here are the benefits you can expect. Identifying what you have, allows…
HAVE I SAID ALL I HAVE TO SAY? Do those I love know the depth and history of that love, and that it persists beyond dimensions? Why am I waiting to tell them? Am I waiting for perfection before sharing my thoughts in writing or via speeches? What opportunity will I lose if the moment passes? HAVE I DONE WHAT I HAVE TO…
I rather enjoy making my brain twist and turn, to make it work, to give it the muscle shock, and say: "Hey! Dummy! Wake up! It's time for you to get back to growing." Off the top of my head, I would say learning a new language, learning bridge or chess, and now, playing the piano. As a creature of habit, and shallow…
The anti-hustle people will tell you that if you're procrastinating on something, it doesn't mean you're a lazy good-for-nothing loser. It means your subconscious is sending you an important message. At the time of writing, I've just spent 5 hours pointedly not doing the real-life paid work that has been stressing me…
It is important to intervene when you get into a negative self-talk rabbit hole. It happened to me today: "It's 5 pm! No haven't been 'productive'" "What are you doing? The client is billing you!" In these times, you need to ask the sergeant to relax. I call this alter-ego, the Sergeant. Intervene in the following…
The newsletter is dead. At least that's what (relatively) smart people on Twitter are saying. I wanted to think about it. So I'm writing. What is a newsletter? It's a bunch of content that reaches people. The OG newsletter was probably a newspaper. Difficult to create, print and distribute. The difficulty at every…
There are some writers on the internet who are like a pair of tinted spectacles – they help you see the world more clearly while adding a tint of their choice. Alex Danco is one of those writers. His work spans a range of topics – from Tech to Culture, History, Philosophy, and Sociology. The tint uses across all of…
Anything you could achieve can be seen when you’re young When your SOLE and ONLY purpose is the grades inside your REPORT CARD When the only thing you’ve wanted is really just to get good grades And you didn’t work hard & you knew you didn’t study that much And you got bad grades with Cheehou (that was the dream…
What wellness practice(s) do you do for your business? Not too different from how I take care of my own health/wellness (e.g., annual check-ups, nourishment, movement, recovery/sleep time) - since about 2003 (more than 20 years), I do 3 types of SOLO / SELF activities, with minimal to zero discussions with…
Fitness fads come and go. Depending on who one talks to or what one reads, the recommended exercise routine for adults keeps changing. The latest one doing the rounds is the importance of sprint and interval training and the photograph is from a recent session. 30 minutes on the treadmill with eight sprints timed…
