Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
There is generally good awareness on the importance of gratitude tracking and how that improves mental health. There is a tendency to make gratitude noting as a mega milestone kind of event like, child birth, exams, promotion, and more recently, what is trending also is daily micro gratitude practices, where listing…
Don’t have to be rich to be confident Just doing your thing, playing your game, knowing what you do is what you want Feeling anxious and conscious about it is a good thing. It’s a self protection mechanism that allows you to think for yourself But think for yourself when you’re alone. Don’t show it to others. Don’t…
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…
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…
I've lived my life on high ambition. In school it was about getting the highest marks, or winning the competitions I enrolled in. Slowly it turned to having a great career, becoming the best person I could be etc. But recently, I've been disillusioned by this approach. Don't get me wrong. Greatness is... great. It's…
What is Life? if we were to die one day, And what is Life? if we're gonna live forever.
The gym is fun, its challenging, helps you have better mental resistance to pain, things you don't necessarily like to do, and the most obvious one its just good for your body. My thing is that I'm a indecisive person and with so many options I just don't enjoy it as much... BUT when going with other people it is way…
Did I mention this anon stream has been going on for 4 months? When I found it through the 'Random' feature, I pinned it right before it swapped to the next random streamer. And I've been returning to it every night to check for updates. Some posts in the stream have words in Spanish and others in Japanese. I do not…
Friendships, like any other relationships, are supposed to be mutual—mutual understanding and mutual effort. There should be a balance to it, just like any other aspect of life. When a friendship is one-sided, it can lead to unhealthy feelings of resentment or exhaustion. Eventually on the long run, you can get tired…
I seem to be needing emotional punching bags to deal with my emotions. What happens if the punching bag is alive and feels you punching it? Anyway, just commemorating the first time I’ve cried on call with SM because of an argument we’ve been having.
Acabei de ver um vídeo de uma senhorinha de 100 anos fazendo exercícios com a ajuda de um personal trainer. Coisa simples, levantar pesos, pegar e jogar a bola, levantar a perna com pesos no tornozelo. Coisa que muita gente com décadas a menos não consegue fazer. É isso, gente. Vamos fazer exercícios para ter…
As a fellow degen, I've done my fair share of discord grinding. Most times, it almost feels like a job. In the rarer (and best) cases, it feels natural and becomes like a virtual third place. The problem is if you want to be a degen, you have to continue grinding in other discords to get those other WL opportunities.…
Assisti. Vi no YouTube e adorei que o olímpico escroto, ao contrário do livro, foi rejeitado pela pessoa com quem ele traiu Macabéa. Achei muito louco um filme daquela época falar sobre aborto, mesmo que no final a cartomante tenha colocado isso como um grande erro a ser reparado com oferendas. A afita da minha boca…
I didn't see the loneliness coming, the solitude I craved turned on me. I'm trying to reach out, to feel some sort of connection. But I won't beg for it, I deserve to be wanted.
Ontem almocei num restaurante daqueles bonitos de ver. A comida tinha boa aparência e o atendimento é do tipo que morro de saudades todos os dias. Simpático, às vezes até demais. Na mesa, eu, a Raquel e o Bruno. Passei a semana fazendo reuniões com o objetivo de criar pontes entre SP e Berlim, duas cidades irmãs, que…
When I was eighteen, I started a journal. I faithfully wrote entries every day for five years. At the time, I didn’t consider it a journal. I was in college. With my tuition paid, my life savings was $1800. This was my spending money. I didn’t qualify for work-study. I planned to make my money last as long as I could.…
Muito fácil nossa cabeça nos dar o baile quando estamos tentando criar hábito. Tô nessa missão de escrever todos os dias aqui e hoje esqueci (até agora!). Acordei mais de 9h da manhã, coisa raríssima, visto que tenho duas cachorras exigentes e pontuais. Sete horas da manhã, às vezes antes, elas já levantam e, como…
Beneath vast open skies, Mountains stare and Oceans rise, A view serene, so complete, No walls, bounds or goals to meet.... Yet man, in folly, stakes his claim, Assigns to beauty, price and name, As if the earth, confined by gold Will reveal its beauty for the price its sold The lake reflects the moonlit glows, Waves…
When I first went online, it was with the honest intention of job searching and I did look for work. In fact, the Internet would become a source of income many years later but not before I fell down the rabbit hole of Facebook. Ensue pointless fights and frequent depression but as we move out of a seismic culture…
We often encounter wisdom in books, podcasts, and advice from others, absorbing these insights with a nod and a belief that they're transforming us into better individuals. Yet, despite this accumulation of knowledge, there's a huge difference between knowing something and truly understanding it. I just noticed this…
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…
If you're observant of how you live, it is easy to realize that most of us live on autopilot. We're usually getting by every day, figuring stuff out on our own. On most days, it is rewarding to be self-sufficient. However, the more isolated lives we lead, the more difficult it is to know when to seek help from…
Hello World. There's a few areas in my life that I'd like to grow and evolve. Recently, I've been on a personal development journey on and off for the past two years. I happened to find this site on Twitter a few days ago and I was intrigued. In this chapter of my life, I would like to document my journey along the…
While still in the early pages of reading the book- Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, something deeply poignant came through. Time as a unit of measure, is a relatively new phenomena. Watches and clocks arrived to help us become more productive and achieve more in a 24 hour time frame. Several authors have…
"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…
I always carry pieces of the people I’ve lost with me. Lovers, friends and even some strangers. They reside in me. I have never been great at showing emotion or telling people how much they mean to me. But I miss them dearly. Each and everyone who added to my life. Even those from what feels like ages ago. It’s not…
new strategy for finding books: follow booktubers who don't like the same books as me (that's very easy to do lmao) i feel myself branching out!! hearing people talk about why they like something primes me to like it too. seeing their smiling faces hypnotizes me into liking what they like i thought i wanted to do a…
I was robbing myself by multitasking. I thought by multitasking, I was getting more done. I could check off the boxes and move on to ... more multitasking. Every task was stressful. I was robbing myself of enjoying the process of completing any task. Now I’m consciously trying to be present in what I choose to do at a…
i once had a piano student who had glenn gould energy a little baby of 7 or 10 years old and he told me he only plays the piano to impress girls i thought so young...and he already knows what life is about.
There is something so fulfilling about hiking and something attractive to it that makes you come back to it, after all the pain and tiredness that it caused. Hiking gives me time to breathe, think and look around, it's an activity that has grown into me. For some people getting to the top gives them the achievement…
Today, I'll be going to the gym. Since starting my training journey in August 2022, I've made significant progress. Before that, I had been suffering from hemiplegic migraine attacks since my early 20s which left me feeling drained for days. I reached a point where simple tasks like applying shampoo or inflating car…
In life, shouldn't this be my goal? What can I do to make sure I wake up excited each day? How can I structure my future days to improve the probability of this happening for me and the people I care about? I won't share an answer (because I don't have one yet) but I'm confident this is a question worth asking.
i got a myspace y'all i'm still waiting for that email verification (and am completely LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN until i get that done) but let me tell you it is a different experience. it's completely VIP, completely next-level. it asks you to identify yourself. and so i'm clicking through the options and each click is…
If I could just tune out these distractions, I'll be fine, I told myself. It wasn't just the gadgets. It was the people in my life. The constant, oppressive need to make money. Deleting apps on my phone and turning off notifications was the easiest step. Eventually, I ended up quitting my job. I told myself I needed a…
Have you ever been pretty drunk but had these fleeting moments of clarity? Like you snap out of the buzz for a few seconds and your mind functions normally? Sometimes you have these moments even when you are not drunk. You could be going on with life as usual, going through the motions. Suddenly you snap out of it.…
1. music -- sometimes music can be punishing ("public" music...the kind you can't shut off at will) but music is a blessing when i'm doing boat work. i've found that the only type of boat work i can really do and the kind that i sort of enjoy is the kind that requires merely the possession of my body, and that leaves…
vriendschap door de jaren prachtig weer voorspeld aimabele gebaren door armen warm gekneld zorgen voor hierna wanorde vandaag verjaardag na verjaardag rijping van het grijs een nieuwe tijd van leven sneeuwklok in het gras kameraden niet voor even bier op het terras /28oktober2022
"Do you ever feel like you're not really yourself?" I ask Pinocchio. Pinocchio said, I was carved in a troubling home,I never really understood, I was born from hands that built but never held. My father dreamed of me, but not for me. He thought I would be his joy, his salvation. But I was just another thing he tried…
It's late, it has been a long day, and I am tired. Opening the laptop to write my daily post as part of the writing challenge feels draining and I don't really want to do it. So why do I do this? In those moments of doubt I should remind myself of the bigger picture. Often, the tasks that seem most draining are the…
In my teens - I was a commi/socialist. Read Che. I thought everyone should share everything in equal parts. In my 20s, I want to conquer the world. Nothing can stop me. Hell yeah! Started tilting towards center. In my 30s, I'm part of capitalist system, and turned capitalist. Believes money can buy happiness & many…
Professionalization is the psychological analogue of industrialization. If industrialization is the process by which a widget is standardized into a fungible unit of consumption, professionalization is the process by which a trade or craft is standardized into a fungible unit of production. Consider the development of…
why is it so hard to communicate and be understood? i feel like this is the hardest thing we have to do as humans.
What inspires change? Knowledge Fear Hope Knowledge inspires change by opening our eyes to what is, what could be, and what is likely to be. We can then imagine what it might look and feel like to play out those scenarios. Knowledge usually sparks either fear or hope. Maybe you can’t have one without the other? Both…
After all this time,I still keep falling for you.
There were two doors. Not identical.No, that would have been easier. One was familiar, worn at the edges, its handle shaped by years of use. The other stood newer, not inviting exactly, but deliberate. It suggested movement, not comfort. He had the key to neither. That was the first mistake people make when they…
that backtrack to "6th sense" tho i think spotify will tell me that "chateau"'s my fav song from this year "fry your brain" and "let it go" are kinda genius; especially "fry your brain" the lana ones are just ok yuno is like a 6/10 i think i'm mostly thrilled about 1 through 4 and 8
When AI model get faster and better, any implementation details are just a form of premature optimisation. They constrain AI to our understanding of a domain and limit its ability to operate independently. Tell the system what to look for and what doing that well means, and then get out of the way. When building AI…
I’m sad for what I won’t experience. I can imagine walking out the front door, leaving the shade of the porch and feeling the powerful sun immerse me in its warm, like i’m getting into a hot tub without the wet feeling. Maybe all these things i will miss are things i already miss from the idealized summers in south…
