Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
The dusty bookshop tote, colours faded by the sun, filled with a day's worth of activity. In the safety of tranquility, we hide behind all kinds of screens. Screen to guard us from the sun's rays and screens to guard us from reality. We clutter the mind in a place built for peace. The senses heightened in every…
eu odeio aulas com dois professores. acabo numa espiral de comparação e, via de regra, um professor é MUITO melhor que o outro, sim. infelizmente. tenho ficado mt irritada com pessoas que viram mães e de repente as pessoas que não querem ser mães viram "egoistas radicais". sem paciência total! você não virou alecrim…
I subjected myself to another thought experiment yesterday (12th September) to try and figure out if i could break down and understand how and why I feel a certain way. I purposefully sat down to think through and break down my issues with his past and try to figure out why it hurt me or why I did not like the fact…
I really, really tought that I was above all this situation. That I left all in the past and moved on. That I, as a grow up human been, got my shit together and solved my problems by myself and. But now it came back. It looks like a tsunami in my head and in my chest. A tsunami AND a thunderstorm. AND a earthquake.…
Is almost the end of the year and FOR SOME UNGODLY reason I was assigned 4 different projects, 1 art, 1 science and 2 history. the history ones I got to do alone but a wasn't as lucky with the other two. The science one SUCKEDDDD so bad. im failing I already know it. Arts easy but still, Why so many projects????
....Haha got you! You're welcome to read this even if you're not a swimmer, with the disclaimer that the sentences will meander with almost no meaning and most certainly put you to sleep! However, if you've spent a better part of your childhood training in a 25 or 50 meter pool, some of this may be relatable, so read…
What if augmented reality (AR) went beyond simply projecting (virtual, simplified) models of objects into our existing world? AR should be a true expansion of our sensory inputs, enhancing how we experience reality. Scientific instruments already achieve this by allowing us to perceive phenomena beyond our natural…
O último gole de álcool que tomei foi na virada do ano. Prometi começar 2023 aderindo a um detox alcoólico, aqui chamado de "Dry January", campanha que muita gente abraça no começo do ano ao lado do "Veganuary", mas eu achei muita coisa para dar conta e só abracei a primeira. "Beber menos álcool" está sempre nas…
Strive for making the hardest decision Even relationships or flirting People don’t expect the easiest answer you know… it’s kinda easy to say the most obvious answer Think twice - and go for the hardest Think of this life: you’re playing the childhood game & suddenly you’re 26/27 Age is just a number. Now you gotta do…
You’re likely familiar with the rebuke to “be present!” wielded whenever someone draws for their camera or smartphone during a dinner or a vacation. Think about how many people you know who “hate Instagram” because it’s “so fake.” Granted, between the daily Starbucks chroniclers, new human/ plant/ pet parents, sunset…
Covid came and Covid went (well, not really). There was isolation for a long time. Then there was not, as long as you wore masks in private spaces. Shortly after I started going out, I began having these recurrent dreams. I would dream that I entered someplace (the bus, the shopping, whatever) and suddenly notice that…
How much time do I waste waiting for her to get ready. What more can I do?
"Startup" evokes different things to different people. Is Stripe still a startup, even after a Series H round valuing it at $95B? Working at a startup can mean working for companies of significantly different employee counts, revenue, years in business, etc. (I always liked The Information's use of "private tech" to…
We were never taught how to be angry. Wrath was the province of God, and occasionally that of fathers offered insult. That, I think, is how I never noticed it seeping in at slights and kicks until it had long curdled in my marrow.
6h da manhã e ainda estou bêbada de chandon e tendo uma jornada aqui no vaso da casa de praia. Meu cunhado casou ontem e eu adoro casamentos, mesmo odiando. É de uma contradição, mas explico. Adoro pela vibe das pessoas, todo mundo se arruma e obrigatoriamente fica feliz. É bom pra rever gente legal também e dançar…
I thought I was further along than I actually am. Turns out, it's 1 of 10 finished. And finished isn't even the right word. That 1 of 10 is far from being done, but it's at a point where at least I won't combust from embarrassment showing someone. But we always end up on the fact that none of it matters. I've always…
reflect & manifest reverb23 in january adapts the reverb10 event shared about in this post - https://nicheless.blog/post/before-%7C-reverb-in-december-20 "... online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next ... an opportunity to reflect on what's happened, and to send out reverberations for the year…
Today, I heard something I haven't heard in a while—my mom said, "I wish I had a son." I knew this; I knew she always wanted a son. At the same time since I was a kid, I’ve been compared to other people, the kids of other families. As I grew up, those comments came up less and less. But today, my mom met one of my…
In what world are we living, where instead of being present in our environment, we are looking at ourselves through our phone screens? Yesterday, I saw an amazing sunset in its different stages: peaking through the clouds, reflecting in the water and creating a golden path, and then fading into a soft afterglow. I…
Meeting people with same experiences as me makes me so excited, in a certain way we just connect in another level, cause they just understand you, they lived through the same thing. Im really lucky to meet so many people that are similar and different at the same time.
Some of the best things happen when you decide to go for it. I experienced one best thing when I challenged myself to journal gratitude. The Ship 30 for 30 writing cohort proved I could be a daily writer. What did I have to lose expanding my writing by keeping a gratitude journal for 30 days? I journaled gratitude a…
If only I could.. Left in the liminal spaces Adrift
Recentemente eu comecei a ler o livro "Fazer justiça" de uma francesa um ano mais velha do que eu chamada Elza Marsault. Bem, ela faz algumas críticas que eu considero muito pertinentes à militância do jeito que ela é hoje, e eu vou destacar um trecho da primeira parte dessa leitura que eu fiz aqui. "Essa vigilância…
aren't you afraid, that you'll get so good at controlling your emotions, that you'll become impervious to pleasure?
Karena merupakan hal paling rasional untuk dilakukan, jika menggunakan sistem keuangan saat ini. Yang dikenal dengan istilah "FIAT currency". Uang fiat adalah mata uang keluaran pemerintah yang tidak didukung oleh komoditas fisik, seperti emas atau perak. Salah satu kekurangan uang fiat adalah inflasi. Bank Indonesia…
i woke up this morning not knowing where i was but my eyes were heavy so i played a game of "where am i"? before revealing the answer i had some guesses a sailboat in sicily was not one of them (my soul plays this game with me regularly to see if i like where i am. this morning i was rather pleased. it's a splendid…
Siapa saya? Terdengar konyol namun sedikit menjepit pikiran. Atau ga saya ubah pertanyaan-nya menjadi, SIAPA KAMU?? Apa yang bisa kamu jelaskan tentang siapa dirimu? Apakah benar-benar kamu mengenal dirimu?
Weird huh. They always say fall in love young. I did. And I screwed up. There must be something wrong me with me. I think I secretly enjoy the tragedy of a lost relationship. Sick I know. I'm just psychoanalyzing myself. All those years invested into relationships with nothing to show for it in the end. Just a broken…
Worry globally, neglect locally.
I recently saw a photo on LinkedIn of someone I met a few years ago. I felt an unexpected resistance to respond, that moment sparked a deeper thought. At any stage of life, you hold a certain view of yourself and often assume that others see you the same way. I call this a self-image snapshot: a frozen perception of…
Sometimes when I look at something that I have written, I can't believe I thought of these words. These words, they just come to me. I have to put pen on paper and give it form. I feel like a messenger at times. The universe or some cosmic force whispering to me. Sometimes these words don't feel like mine. I never…
Sometimes I wonder what kind of life we all are actually living, are we truly happy with ourselves right now or it just a façade to just get by. Sometimes I wonder what we are truly afraid of, is it fear of rejection, fear of alienation by our peers or fear of showing weakness, because for me being vulnerable with…
The most recent film I watched was her. It was beautiful, not just the story but the cinematography. I'll be writing these little blogs about the movies I've watched and love. I don't intend for it to be a review or an analysis. I only intend to write down how it made me feel. her. I was doubtful about the emotional…
I joined a group of boomers infiltrating (maybe taking over?) the latest social app. We all know how the original users of Facebook have abandoned the platform, and the more mature generation has taken over. In my defense, I have a minimal presence on Facebook. (It's a great place to promote my newsletter.) Now I’ve…
Hated when the meeting is not done properly This morning meeting with the subcontractors is a demonstration of you shouldn’t compare yourself to the people around you You should think it all through and strive for the best What is each party going to talk about What is the technical details Think it through DURING or…
Why bother so much about not making a mistake - like KS. The point of this life is to make as many as possible. The way of saying “what’s the point of playing Sudoku if you don’t even bother getting it right or wrong” - is actually not the essence of life. The point of life is to make as many mistakes as possible -…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
If you spend yourself chasing butterflies they will fly away If you spend your time making a beautiful garden they will come to you. Charisma - is something that means YOU PUT OTHER PEOPLE FIRST THAT IS FUCKING CHARISMA - oh my god. It’s that easy - nothing to do with personality; nothing to do with funny It’s just…
I just watched a great movie about Franz Kafka, a famous German writer. What particularly struck me was the way he used words and language - so precise, so articulate, so aesthetic. There is a lot of untapped potential in our everyday use of language to express our thoughts and feelings.
Is knowing that whatever you do is truly your own fault and accountability Whatever your life will turn out to be is purely based on you and you ONLY 保持清醒 Your own decisions to do whatever is purely based on you Just take a simple example You could’ve been early so manny times That nobody forces you to be late But…
You probably read that time and was like "wooow super revolutionary concept dude, you're a genius!". Or something like that. But the point stays even in days like today. And yes. This is related to my entry from the previous day. I've received a few emails from folks who are like "I hate Black Friday and I'm not going…
When a person shares their struggles publicly, a very common type of seemingly empathetic reaction is to tell them they are not alone. There are a lot of people going through similar issues. Your problems are not unique. I could never understand this. Never have I suddenly started feeling better after realizing that…
Creating positive experiences to share with others is easy. Consider your smile. Everyone wants to experience something that puts a smile on their face. You control your own smile. You can also make others smile. It’s easier than you think. Make a list of what makes you smile. Here are a few things that make me smile.…
Hoje uma amiga querida me deu apoio em duas situações. Uma sobre um caso que ela sabia e outro que ela não fazia ideia. O caso que ela sabia diz respeito a falar inglês. Com anos de estudo, eu consigo entender 80% do que falam, escrever bem, mas a fala ainda arrasta numa performance medíocre. Hoje, especificamente,…
The slow start, quiet open windows and fresh morning air. Delight.
You don’t have to make the “perfect environment” You can make yourself an own garden by changing yourself You don’t have to be “clean” and tidy only at home not at work - you can do it at work too Only people who are good at their day job Could be good at their side hustles too I believe Strive to be good and better…
Acordei animada, mas atrasada. Coloquei meu celular pra carregar, tomei banho, tomei vitamina de banana com chocolate que meu amor fez pra mim. Atualmente, essa é minha comida favorita. Fui pro aeroporto de ônibus acompanhada do meu amor. Fico tão feliz de ver o quanto ele me apoia. O avião atrasou bem. Mas finalmente…
The chain of habits are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. Write your journal. K talking to you - but you putting yourself in a position where you are not ready to reply is your fault. Not trying to take away any credit or be harsh to myself Though it’s always better to be asking stupid…
