Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.

The title of the post is a misnomer-I have not written much except when compelled to on a few occasions. In that sense, a more appropriate title would have been "why I'm starting to write and hope to continue writing". However, the urge to plagiarize Orwell and the fear of turning readers away at the outset combined…
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.
Are we here for power? Are we here for sex? OR Are we here for meaning? When you are born, the consciousness inside of you doesn't know any labels. When you try to look a newborn baby in the eyes you will notice that it's eyes can't focus. It has to learn to interpret certain frequencies into certain colors. I'd say…
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…
olha, sei nem como começar, então, vou seguir o conselho da minha professora rose e começar do começo. tive um domingo agitado. acordei cedo, fui pra campinas levar minha sogra pra conhecer a minha casa, a casa que eu cresci e rever minha mãe e meus irmãos. já na ida eu estava com a sensação de pointless... não a…
Bom, hoje eu tive um encontro com uma pessoa do bumble. Foi num restaurante baiano gostosinho. Comi moqueca de camarão, arroz, pirao, farofa e uma pimentinha da casa maravilhosa. Tudo acompanhado de suco de laranja porque eu não posso beber por conta dos remédios. Entrei no dry january obrigada. Falando em remédio, os…
The optimal number of imperfections in a city is not zero. I just spent 24 hours in Lima, and I think it comes pretty close to finding the right balance between organisation and chaos. Combine that with a friendly people, an incredible cliff-edged coastline and world class cuisine, and you've got yourself a city you…
Read this in a post on Instagram which said, "It's crazy how each day that passes feels the same, but when we look back, everything seems different." I was dissolved in a trail of thoughts. I think a big reason for this is that change often happens gradually, in a series of small events. It's not always a one-time…
Eu volto de férias hoje às 14h. Tenho certeza que tenho muitos emails para ler, só não mais que eu teria se estivesse trabalhando no varejo. Então, um mais um motivo para agradecer. Agora, minha quarentena esse ano vai ser do instagram. Volto daqui 40 dias. Com o tempo, pretendo ler mais, estudar mais. Hoje também fiz…
By being so harsh on yourself doesn’t work. Yes noticing the problem - but magnifying it doesn’t do anything - it’s just a toxic trait that you’ve dealt with when you were young (playing the victim card) Your conversations - with your housemate Why do you even need to talk about the negatives - the neighbours bla bla…
Kara Swisher interviewed Twitter's former head of Trust and Safety, Yoel Roth, shortly after he left his position at the company. Two things in particular stuck out at me during the interview. Firstly, Roth seemed genuinely interested in presenting the arguments and perspectives of people with whom he disagreed in…
Praying in tongues is the super-power I wish I had known about earlier. Or, being honest, that I had used earlier.
I wake up at 6:47 AM and the first thought is: I'm not going to smoke today. The second thought, three minutes later while I'm already on the balcony with a cigarette between my fingers, is: Well, fuck. It's not like I forgot. I remember saying it yesterday—actually saying it out loud to myself while brushing my…
Cash is king. And sales brings in the cash. Prior to working for startups, I my broader education largely came from my MBA and following the "startup press" - i.e. the thought-leading founders and VCs who produce so much content about startups: blogs, Twitter, podcasts, etc. With some notable exceptions neither had…
Sabe aqueles momentos um pouco antes de acordar que a gente fica pensando no dia, nas coisas que tem pra fazer, no que vamos comer, se está sol, com quem temos que falar? Pois então, hoje o principal pensamento foi "o que eu vou escrever no nicheless?". E tive várias ideias, o que não é comum. Geralmente eu escrevo…
I love doing team sports, there is this feeling of belonging and collaboration that is just in a way refreshing. Going to the gym is nice sometimes, cause you learn discipline and resistance, but having people that are accountable pushes me to be better and go further from my limit. Both have its own benefits, but…
i'm reading carl jung's memoir and his descriptions of himself as a little boy (born 1875) makes me think of Pip, who started out as 7 in Great Expectations (set in 1812 but published in 1860) i absolutely loved Pip even though i overall did not enjoy Great Expectations. Pip was so cute in the beginning and then…
"If you are so bothered with it all, why don't you do something?" My friend's voice is etched within me. These words remain central to my last Acid trip, 4 years ago. I have been doing something about it. For 1460 days now. I left my job, started building. There is a lot wrong with our world, if not 80% of us would…
The “future of work” is often imagined as a sudden rupture, a world where digitization, artificial intelligence and automation replace jobs overnight. Yet in developing economies such as Indonesia, the shifts seem less like a single break and more like a series of overlapping transitions— technological, social, and…
Emerson wrote, “It is a great terror to be known.” We are terribly scared of the only thing that we want the most. Mostly because we don’t know what looking within is like. Most of us forget ourselves. Most of us never remember to walk to ourselves. We are enormously afraid of knowing our own self. Its easier to never…
Do Not Hand Wave over Important Topics The gift of written communication outside of Twitter and Nicheless is that the word count is generally boundless. We can dive into any point and pull our selves back out to any level of abstraction that we want to. When and where to dive into writing is art, not science. But such…
"The inspiration just didn't come!" Well, we've hear that one before right? Turns out that creativity can be reached in two different ways. One, you are the super creative, free thinker, your mind is firing up like a pinball machine and there is NOTHING that makes you think about nothing. Two, you're as structured as…
I take things too personally. When someone tells me they don't like my photos, my brain says, "I'm such a bad photographer." When someone says, "Your outfit is so plain today," my brain says, "I have no style, I look ugly." When someone points out a pimple, my brain says, "I AM UGLY." Something happened today that…
We allow phones at our dinner table. I know that’s counterintuitive coming from someone who 14 years ago, declared, ”When we are empty-nesters, we'll still have dinner table conversation.” At the time, I wasn’t worried about phones. It was magazines. Now a phone comes out almost every evening at our dinner table, for…
here i am, lying in bed, staring at my phone, because i can’t get back to sleep. usually, at this hour, 12:37 am, i’m awake. i stay up late because i have to give my daughter meds in her feeding tube while she sleeps in the hopes that they help her continue to sleep until the morning. but this night, my wife was kind…
Trusting your capabilities when you don't have systems is what imposter syndrome might feel like. Because When you don't have systems, you end up being lazy, lethargic and looking for perfection and constantly thinking about how to make things better but you don't have the infra or you're not trying hard enough to…
It's a new platform. My thoughts are unfiltered, and unplanned. That also means I have not come up with a catchy introductory post. I'll share two of my favorite bits of rhyming verse instead. (1) Old Limerick She stood on the bridge at midnight. Her lips were all a quiver. She gave a cough. Her leg fell off. And…
Cara, vou começar pelo sonho. Com frequência eu sonho com comida. Mas não são sonhos normais. São sonhos mega realistas, tão realistas que eu sinto o gosto das comidas e acordo louca querendo aquilo. O sonho da vez foi com um bolo de chocolate. O processo da receita envolvia maracujá, manga e, claro, o chocolate. Um…
If you could get all of your wasted past. How much time would you have? Would it be enough to start over.
Primeiro: eu assino a news de uma pessoa chamada Lalai Person. Foi por conta dela que eu achei esse nicheless e também revivi a vontade de morar na Alemanha, que parece um país bem quadrado no quesito regras (leva multa de 5 euros se atravessar o sinal fechado e as pessoas não estão sempre correndo na escada rolante,…
Have you ever come across a woman who stole your heart from the moment you first laid eyes on her? I met her two weeks ago. A blazing soul that seared away any remnants of my past lovers. She laughs at my jokes. She blushes when I flirt. When I offer chocolates she declines once and then accepts. I told her she was…
(original: 2010 November 8, excerpt) f|back: when my friend oracle speaks ... ... or [when my friend "oracle"] types ... when i chat with my friend, i enjoy the intellectual banter that ensues. my friend earned the nickname from "the oracle of delphi" - he shared a series of different answers to his daughter's…
i remember going to war once. the air smelled of burnt flowers and chemical dreams. the ghosts of my past made a mountain of bodies besides a wrecked house. inside, my mother was wiping off her tears as she made my favorite breakfast. father was dreaming of his aged self. you're on your own, soldier. just a few more…
ask a question at the bottom! If you could, would you mass delete all humans from the world? (26th October, 2026) There would be a lot of animals that missed humanity if we vanished, pets of course, but I think forest creatures too would wonder about us. Plants as well, we don't acknowledge how much we live in…
For two hours, I have been sitting on the second landing of the staircase in my home, staring at a space between two steps that lead upstairs. Everything is in its right place. I feel sad. But my mind feels warm, supported, and unburdened. I am safe. This place is as true as any other. Everything is here. Everyone is…
Skyggene gjør seg alltid større enn de er. Mørket tåler nesten ingenting. Det går i stykker av litt lys.
hot chocolate howling winds my italian neighbor was like "do you have an extra line? let's tie an extra line so that your boat is more stable" i was like yes please and our danish neighbor was like "wait wait don't put it there, because it could rip your stanchion. here, let's take this cleat instead" jumped on my…
today i cannot keep myself from not publishing something. i have some ideas for a blogpost in my notes app, but they require research and thorough input. so i have decided to write and publish whatever comes to my mind. co-incidently today is also the day i picked up a fresh notebook and wrote my journal entry after a…
I don't know where to start. For some reason I find this medium intriguing. I only found it a few days ago, but can't remember where now. I feel like I am going to need a few accounts. I would love to have one that is totally anonymous. I'll fess up to this one at least. I don't even know how long 300 words is. I…
1. What's something that puts a smile on your face instantly? 2. Who's that someone you look forward to sharing the good news as soon as you receive it? 3. If money and responsibilities are taken out of the equation, would you still live in the same city? 4. What's your favourite childhood memory? 5. Do you feel…
Person number 1 vs person number 2 Relationships - people text, fuck, catch feelings and suddenly understand that: you have choices in your life - person 1 heartbroken - person 2 Now can’t admit I’m person 2 Always being telic Trying to “get some goals” “achieve something in your life” “being in that relationship by…
OpenAI keeps shipping world-changing products at a ridiculous pace. And I’m terrified. The computer revolution went after scribes and accountants. The internet revolution went after mailmen and retailers. Now, the AI revolution is coming for the creative folk. And I like to think I’m one of them. It’s natural to be…
We don't really know what is actually happening in others peoples lives, lying is so easy, specially when people are far away, you could just not say where or what you are doing and easily fool others. Today, I discovered I was lied to and it just makes me feel uneasy about the other person, kinda lost trust, even if…
In the last few days, I've spoken to many intelligent people about AI, the future, and how our world will change. These conversations have intensified my realization of the extreme transformation we are experiencing. Every answer we find raises three new questions. It’s getting faster and faster, more and more complex…
Casey Neistat moved back to NYC in September and started putting out YouTube videos again. His recent videos all center around the chaotic rawness of NYC. We see a place brimming of energy. It's buzzing. It's shaking. The people are all main characters. You watch the videos, and you can't help but fall in love with…
The Indian internet is abuzz with the news of India overtaking UK in GDP terms. Without a doubt, becoming the 5th largest economy in the world is no mean feat and we must be proud. Given where we started and what we've been able to achieve in last 30 odd years, we deserve a pat on the back. A large section of the…
Lately, I have been reflecting on the often sinful manifestations of our discontent. In particular, when we idealize and glorify "the good old days". Ecclesiastes 7:10 instructs us: Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. In the face of…
