Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
You need someone you can tell everything. I share with my friends. They know a lot about me, but they don’t know everything. You can tell your journal everything. This essay and the next are examples of how I use my journals as a best friend. You may be surprised when your journal gives you an answer. I often clear my…
tamino has a really special vibe and in the past i've tried to copy him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOZ6oXtx1oM but have since forgotten about him and then at open mic i ended up borrowing someone's guitar to sing and i went for a lana del rey song and looking at my video i saw a bit of tamino i was wearing all…
Age appropriate things for me now include ''Temple Hopping'' and getting immense joy from that experience! Who would have thought? Early part of this year, my sister and I set off on a beautiful Friday to explore some wonderful places of worship in aamchi Mumbai! Bright and early, we rendezvoused at 6:30 am at…
OK. Here's my attempt at using nicheless. What I like: + The minimalistic UI + No-fluff usability; even lack of formatting! + Lack of media and all that comes with it Few questions though + Would it help increase my writing? Is there less pressure due to the smaller word limit? Can I aim for a post a week? + Would it…
While visiting Copenhagen, she asked a local man how one finds parking. The man explained the process: write the time of arrival on a sheet of paper, place it against the window facing outwards, and that way the the attendant will know that you haven't overstayed your allotted time. "But what if I just write a time…
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…
when you're in the jungle -- or any type of "wilderness" -- it is of obviously survival benefit to take note of the little noises and sights in your environment. the jungle is NEVER boring because you always have to pay attention and there are many things to pay attention to after being in the jungle, "regular life"…
Excuse the generic title, I am programmed to type those words first on all social media- Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google plus, etc. For me, internet in the late 2000's was about discovering humour blogs. We used to have those neighbourhood newspapers complete with satirical takes on our everyday lives. A…
I'm a big fan of Steven Strogatz's writings. He's an applied mathematician with Cornell & has a flair for making you love mathematics. A concept from one of his books - 'Infinite Powers' stuck with me for a while. "You can reach potential infinity but not completed infinity. Unless there's calculus." It's a beautiful…
i mean, why not just write it in a private journal? or go the other way and book-publish all your thoughts? just look at sheila heti, publishing a catalogue of thoughts from her diary alphabetized from a-z (she is so busy that she can't even organize them by theme NOT TO BORROW SCHOPENHAUER'S IDEAS LEST HE CALL ME A…
where do i begin...? all the resolutions i write + lives i dream of + + the girl i try to be + + she's getting a little closer to who i am, each year + + am i changing for the better or is she + in 2023, i want: 1. softness wisdom discipline 2. creative passions and personal goals - pottery, making coffee, doing…
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...
Sabe, eu odeio as obrigações. Tem que fazer isso, tem que fazer aquilo, blablabla. Numa dessas, melhor dizendo, numas dessas, eu sempre acabo em uma espécie de pocket burnout onde fujo pro banheiro com zumbido no ouvido e enxaqueca intensa. Não acho que seja crise de ansiedade e sim uma grande dificuldade em interagir…
To understand a system, you must define its boundaries, forming its own “universe.” While we often think of individuals as separate from their environment, in reality, they are deeply interconnected. Evolutionary constraints highlight this relationship: organisms are shaped by and respond to their surroundings. The…
Two weeks of grieving and feeling like a zombie walking through time and space. Trying to slowly get back to my normal self but, still its WIP. I feel looking back, this heartbreak was very necessary. Shows that I did end up being needy at the end of the day but I had a lot on my plate as well. Makes sense to not be…
Since 2018, I've been living a dual life. I moved back home to Goa to join the family business. The nature of my work there is exactly as you'd expect of someone running a large offline-first organisation. In other words, during the day – I'm a manager. However, after sunset, I begin my day's second shift. Location:…
i don't mean ibuprofen i mean weed i realized that weed restored back to me a positivity and practical intelligence and life force and "i can do this" that i had lost due to my hypersensitivity and awareness of the general shittiness of average people before books saved my life, weed threw me a flotation device.
Folks are flocking from Twitter to Mastodon. And, we recently learned that decentralized posts are called "toots". A decentralized server that is reportedly confusing to join and post is popular for the moment. Many Tweeps create a lot of noise about leaving the platform. And, I've noticed that my follower count went…
Urmi came to Vizag to meet Venky and I. We have talked so much that we have completely exhausted ourselves. It’s fun and nice though. I really like the conversations we can have. I know this may not be a group that meets often, but I hope we’ll meet at least some times. Few important takeaways: The 2 components of a…
Sim, estou internada. Uma complicação de uma cirurgia que era pra ser simples. Mas bora resolver. Quero virar essa página logo pra sair e dançar com as minhas amigas, andar sem medo de cair e dormir de barriga pra baixo. Coisas que eu já fiz aqui no hospital: - assisti TV, principalmente o canal globonews - julguei…
turned on the water heater to shower and then was like "nah" smelled my armpit, and confirmed my "nah" i smell like nothing.
In the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, there is a distinction made between two aspects of thinking: system one and system two. System one refers to fast and automatic thinking, while system two involves slow and deliberate thought processes. For everyday tasks like opening doors or getting dressed,…
Approach life fast as possible - applies the same how you approach SUDOKU... So here's the thing I want to tell to my 27 self There's nothing much better than being a player and acting in the game of life rather than being a side character! You want to be a main as much as possible. So act like one! One trait that…
The internet has given rise to a new genre of humorous content and I personally love it! The ones I find particularly amusing are around wine and comparing it to life. ''Yoga Class? I thought you said Pour a Glass''. You get the drift. When did wine become such an ubiquitous part of corporate lore? I for one of course…
I tried my hand at cold emailing for the first time in November last year. I was greatly inspired by Shatakashi, GGI and her noble cause to provide quality Business and Policy education to young adults. I reached out to her mentioning how her content on LinkedIn helped me gain a lot of perspective and expressed my…
Every time something bad happens to me i always think about how i could have avoided it had i known all the intricacies of the problem. I think i wish i consulted people apriori. As it is often said hindsight is the best insight. Another perspective to this is had i known all the intricacies would i be putting myself…
1) There’s no work life balance. Life will get to a rhythm if you choose your PRIORITY right. What matters the most to you NOW? Regardless of your past relationship, career choices, family and friends. What matters now? ————————————————— 2) The best skill, or so called power — if I were to pass to my son if I ever had…
What do you when you are feeling bad? Does the whole day need to be bad? Think of things that make you happy. Do a favorite activity. Help someone. Go outside. These are great solutions. They all came from the participants in a Tae Kwon Do class. I was proud that the first solution came from my five-year-old…
I went to dinner with a group of strangers. After each course, I was paired with someone new. I met three interesting people. There was a stack of conversational cues on the table if we didn't know what to talk about. We were allowed talk about anything we want, except what we do. This wasn't about dating. That's not…
today is the day to take action, screw any excuse..no more excuses. Time to lock in and make my dreams my reality meaning eating healthy going to bed at a decent time and working out. . . i am self aware that i will struggle and its going to be hard but not impossible and i'm committing myself to write about my daily…
My journey with gratitude grows like wildflowers. It's like a packet of mixed seeds. You don't know what kind until they bloom. My simple gratitude habit bloomed into other complementary characteristics. I’ve often written about how my gratitude practice makes me look for the positive in my life. Something that seems…
Pemuda ini bernama Timoteo Rhousdy. Tak pernah ia tahu kapan sesungguhnya ia lahir, kapan sebenarnya namanya hadir, dan kapan pula ia akan tahu siapa sejatinya orang tua kandungnya. Berkat kemuliaan hati sepasang suami-istri Teguh Fransiskus Rhousdy dan Anneke Lim, Timo—begitu panggilannya—diangkat menjadi anak bungsu…

Dead trees still cast shadows
Yesterday we started a road trip around Scotland. Our search for lunch was constrained by the lack of variety. Fish & chips, fish & chips ... oh, and another fish & chips shop. Hungry and without alternatives, we settled for a meal that was pricey, unappetizing, and unhealthy. Why is such food prevalent and who…
i have been yearning to see you. It's been a while, i search for you everywhere. airports, flights, streets, restaurants, monuments. i know tears will run down my cheeks when i see you. i want to give you a big hug. and that's the dream you took away from me you came to campus. you saw me. you didn't say hi. we spoke…

Stop chasing to be like someone who you don’t want to be like . Be YOu & your brain can rest in your skull taxfree
On our first day in Washington, D.C., we woke up to rain. My family turned to me. “What are the plans?” I love planning. Vacations, menus, my daily schedule, planning my new Substack newsletter, any kind of planning. There’s satisfaction in looking at all the possibilities. Plans make me feel safe. Details and options…
Today is so much more than yesterday Today made yet another tomorrow. Today can forgive Today can relive Or just love and forget all of last night's sorrow Today can be different or just another whistle, a name given to a former ride Today can be wild Today can be a lie YOU GET TO CHOOSE (you really really do) The…
If you could get all of your wasted past. How much time would you have? Would it be enough to start over.
You’ll find I’m inclined to decline your kind line to wine and dine, as I pine to recline and unwind my mind.
Don’t fool yourself. I don’t anymore. Most mornings, I get this strong urge to just dive into work right away. Like, do something, anything, just to feel like I’m being productive. My hands need to be busy, right? But here’s the truth: that’s a trap. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I used to believe that starting…
You've spent your life building a portfolio of skills. The only problem is they're currently stuck behind a dam. Let me explain: There's a wealth of expertise stuck behind your ability to articulate it in a manner that's: • clear • educational • entertaining The solution is to build a writing habit. Writing is the…
To refer to a phenomenon or quantity as being deficient implies that there is some proper amount one might expect to have. A gas tank that is three-quarters empty, for example, would rightly be considered deficient if our destination were two hundred miles away; a "gasoline deficit," as it were. It would be just as…
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…
Social media in its various forms have brought about a huge change in our economy. The first thing we check when we get up is our phone. It's about time we realise that the content we see on social media sets the day for us. And one easy way to hack our mood for the day is to audit the content we see on social media.…
My mom has found a unique way of pranking me. She'll throw a random but believable assertion related to my life (or so I think). Consequently, my inquisitive trait kicks in, trying to trace the reasons and origins of it. The ordeal ends by her revealing the farce behind her statement and how it revealed my deep-rooted…
The question of whether AI will make writers obsolete is a complex one. We can't predict the future, but it is clear that AI will change what it means to be a writer. In a recent workshop, Dan Shipper pointed out that 150 years ago, good penmanship was essential because everything had to be done by hand. Today, doing…
