Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
There lived a man in southern Spain He had no penny, no fear, no pain Into an alley he lost his way Ran into gold, saved it for a rainy day Not a day went past, he didn't count it all His friends now few and fears grew tall Looking for more in his alley of gold With nothing to share he grew lonely and old The weight…
To think positively Making the best out of any situation Think even you think about leaving a job E would probably be rational - get better job and income before thinking of actually having no income To think of so many things - and telling people that why do you want to get a job you hate after getting all that…
Both my folks are the least loved, miserly happy kids in their respective families. Both have been at complete agreement to all decisions their parents have made for them. Yet both have terrible personal lives but have made peace with the perils of this life.
Separate the time out for everything. Don’t go beyond the time. Look at Bryan - comes early. Go home on time, but it was effective. He didn’t do anything wrong. That’s the most effective thing to do. Going past your time just because you fucked up some certain thing is your weakness Embrace it and improve Your Alevels…
¿De qué sirve hacer mucho? ¿De qué sirve hacer poco? ¿Quién se servirá lo que quedó? ¿Cuánto estaremos aquí? ¿Mucho? ¿Poco? ¿Quién puede saberlo? ¿De qué tenemos que pedir perdón? ¿De qué nos van a perdonar? ¿Quién puede pedir perdón? ¿Quién puede otorgarlo? ¿Quién nos traicionó? ¿Quién nos engañó? ¿Quién fue el que…
Is it alright to have sad feelings if they seem cliché? Is it okay to struggle with the same simple universal problems over and over for decades? I learn new facts every day but I won't learn anything about myself until I'm terrified of dying and fading away forever.
Most people don’t know what to do or what is in their future. It’s not easy & that’s meant to be. To do something difficult & to study - that’s a good way of life. You’re kinda okay with the hardness and the toughness of construction industry now. You can literally do anything else! Fail more. And fail quick. Any…
This past weekend was my annual getaway trip with my two best girlfriends. Even though the three of us have never lived in the same city, we are best friends. This year’s annual meet-up was our 35th. We know everything there is to know about each other. My friends and I do the typical best-friend activities: Eating…
There are almost no obese people in Copenhagen. Most people are obese in Lexington, Kentucky. It is not that people in Lexington are lazier or dumber or more morally flawed than people in Copenhagen. In Lexington, you can't walk anywhere and it's really hard to buy decent food. In Copenhagen, it's hard to buy shitty…
Is not you’re kaypo about others (Used to think some people are too busybody) But you understand there is such thing called people intelligence And the desire and initiative to know something from the start till the end Understand more Know what is the characteristics and “ability” each person carry Everyone is…
Muita coisa acontece fora do nosso controle, começando pelo nascimento. Como todo respeito a quem acredita, eu não consigo aceitar que escolhemos voltar ao mundo para resolver picuinhas de vidas passadas. Não acredito que a gente escolhe "vou ir no útero dessa pessoa e não daquela". É tudo aleatório, na minha opinião,…
This blogging platform (the one you are looking at) was created by Louis Pereira, a student in Write of Passage which I was also taking. It is very simple and clean. I like that, so I decided to try it out. I am trying to see how having writing viewed by others changes it. How does having an audience (or even just the…
This is my first post on nicheless. It seems like an interesting microblogging app. I like how minimalist the interface is. I even like this font. The onboarding process was easy. Getting the web page as an app icon on my iPhone screen was seamless. 300 words is a lot. That last word was my 50th. I wonder how this…
I started writing around 2016. So its been about 6 years now, roughly. I started writing when I was a frustrated, depressed and angry college student. Writing saved me. If I hadn't put pen to paper, I don't know what would have happened to me. It feels like I am in a similar place in life now. Where I feel the need to…
Is to be upfront and integrity This is the shield against all immoral and dishonourable G knows you been paying for most It’s ok to reject him once if it’s too much Stay honest and thinking things through The only way to get through and stand strong When having questions - just ask Big decisions; take a night to think…
How do my daily actions respond this question? What I have done this week: - Worked until late the past weeks. - Spent 2 hours thinking what did we miss? What questions to we need to ask. With these actions I am getting better at: - Managing a project that I will never get credit for - At getting a "good job" "good…
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…
I have a friend at work who is absolutely convinced that the World Economic Forum is a nefarious organization that is slowly reaching its long tentacles into every conceivable aspect of human life. "The agenda," as he calls it, is the WEF's plan to have us all eat crickets, own nothing, and live in…
It's rarely as bad as you build it up to be. If you have to do more, you'll take it one step at a time. Your dad may NOT have been wanting to tell you about your mother's heart attack. All you can control is how you feel and what you do. 0856
all’s too loud, I need silence it’s whining like sirens a buzz so strong, a hum so intense it suffocates every thought in my head indecision of a mind split in two all sense disperses tunnel vision pulling through
"The thumbs-up-react is actually a war crime," I texted. This was in response to me using the question-mark-react, to which you said, "the question mark react is an act of terror." This is how I want to fold. At first, when I said 'I'm folding,' I meant like a fitted sheet: loose, unstructured, but still crumpling,…
A friend and I regularly check-in across the ocean - California, US and Vietnam - regarding activities around PKM, GTD, and solopreneurship. Two days ago, I recently shared about my on-goings - "... and lots of self-reflection - or shall I say "Self-Inflection" - I feel like I am at a transition point" Self-inflection…
a little bummed that the sun goes down at 5:30 and at 6:00 it feels like midnight i like the night but still it is far too early to feel like i have to start cooking... i'm starting to like poetry (thanks, sylvia plath) also i am no longer afraid that i won't have time to read all the books i want to read i am now…
We are all lied to in childhood. The very first one in the West is about Santa Claus. When people lie, they usually do so to advance themselves in a self serving way. But this isn’t how I viewed my own behavior towards my kids. I was typically lying to protect them. Spare them from a cruel truth that they didn’t need…
It has occurred to me several times in the past. I feel like expressing it to a friend of the opposite gender. It is the feeling of polyamory - it is not about just sex, it is about having conversations, it is about being available to listen and share with each other. I felt like calling the friend and asking to meet…
Louis Pereira, Nicheless founder, wrote recently that we shouldn't over-congratulate ourselves on our choices because they are shaped by the people we happen to spend time with. I agree, but the influence of chance on our choices goes well beyond the company we keep. I was idling in London after graduating from law…
There's a lot to learn from watching an ice skating class. Let me paint a picture so you can imagine what I see. A big round ice rink with about 50 people with varying levels of skill. There some who skate as if this were the Olympics and there others who resemble penguins trying to maintain their balance. You have…
On our first official full day in Finland I realized how lucky I am to have experienced so many cultures and seen so many different countries/continents. My mom couldn't stop stopping at every single corner to take pictures about the silliest things (in my opinion), for example, being surprised at how blue the sky…
I was other day randomly thinking about the way we spend our time on weekends. We have around 52 weeks in a year and for most of us it is 2 days off so effectively we have 104 days for ourselves. If we take out effectively 2 hours for our productivity schedule in a day on a weekend, then we have around 208 hours to…
I am trying so hard to let people continue to be who they are. But I'm not having any success. It makes so much more sense to smile politely and have a superficial R'ship instead of expecting reciprocal sincerity, integrity and loyalty. Enforcing your boundaries time and again is exhausting and I have always withdrawn…
Seriously? It makes me cringe when I hear people say this re: political violence, insurrectionism, or far-right extremism. I mean, I was watching TV on January 6th just like you were. Pretty clearly, that was us. Here's the thing: That's always been us, at least in part. We've always been more than one people. What's…
Hoje "tropecei" na internet com um poema que eu adoro, "Do not go gentle into that good night", do Dylan Thomas. Quem assistiu Interestelar deve lembrar que o poema é mencionado várias vezes durante o filme. Na tradução de Augusto de Campos (um trechinho): "Não vás tão docilmente nessa noite linda; Que a velhice arda…
1) Humans have a tendency to be drawn to binary distinctions. Whether you draw the divide between parties (R/D), or political inclinations (liberal / conservative), or population density (urban / rural), or social class (elite / deplorable), every distinction can ultimately be reduced to us vs. them. This primordial…
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…
i want you to fold and tremble for the cages of our soul unable to control what’s out there i want you to question you, her and me i want you to answer completely honestly i need you to listen fight for me i want you (to) i truly do
"PKM to me draws from my information landscape (e.g., lived/observed experiences, formal/informal education, ideas, etc.) - shaping my own self-improvement, decision-making, and interactions with folks. I navigate and express my life through PKM." This was part of my off-the-cuff response to the prompt - What is YOUR…
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…
For years, I spent my Saturday morning grocery shopping for the week. My workweek routine drove my weekend routine. Now I’m retired. I’m very routine-driven. I would need to prepare my list early. This required a change in thinking. I saw an advantage. If my granddaughter came to spend the night, grocery shopping…
Hoje precisei ir aos correios. Toda vez que vou lá, caio com a mesma atendente que cavuca qualquer gancho para falar mal de Lula e pessoas correlatas. Estava com uma blusa escrita COP e ela se fez de desentendida: cop é um evento esportivo? Eu, já esperta, disse que não. Ao que ela completou fingindo surpresa: aaaaah,…
My grandfather's 66th death anniversary was a few days ago. My sister and I never met him, but we join our mother in lighting a small lamp in his memory. A recurring thought on death and bereavement came to mind, perhaps a truism for anyone who has experienced deep personal loss. No matter how empathetic a person you…
I started fruit farming a year ago in Lamjung, located in central Nepal. Aim is to reach 100,000 fruit trees. Currently I am at 3000. Biggest challenge facing so far is getting right saplings. Now making nursery to grow my own saplings. Its amazing here. Peace, quite and all forested area. Right on the road, but very…
Notifications control our lives. Every minute of my day, as my phone buzzes, I can't stop this unending desire to see what the notification was. I'm consumed by the apps on my phone. In a day, it doesn't seem so noticeable. But as the days add up, I live my life by the notification, more than by the moments. We all…
For about a month now, I’ve been working on writing a novel from an idea I’ve been working out for a few years. While writing a novel is something I’ve always wanted to do it is somewhat daunting. I began writing this story a few years ago as a graphic novel, but found myself discouraged when I couldn’t afford to pay…
Be very engaged in conversations The way you put your energy and soul into thinking things Will changed your perspective and yourself to the outside world Like how you talk to subcon You gotta be mentally prepared Very very prepared even your face has to be smiley all day else your PM will think you’re angry It’s a…
For a writer, vocabulary is akin to a color palette for an artist. You can use pedestrian words like 'good' or 'bad' but there's only so much you can create if that's all you have in your repertoire. I think of these commonly used words like the primary colors – important but perhaps a bit uninspired. Let's add a bit…
Every year, either December or our birthday makes us a tad existential. If not overtly, at least somewhere in our head, we are wrapping up a year gone past us. We try to evaluate, albeit half-heartedly, how far we've come, where we'd like to go, and so forth. It is like attempting to gain back the control that we…
6. talk to the trees. their plant matter is tens of thousands of years old and harbors a wisdom that often goes unnoticed. seek out the hidden messages in the sound of their rustling leaves and the intricate patterns of their bark. hold hands with their branches and allow their roots to help ground you. 7. in moments…
The slow start, quiet open windows and fresh morning air. Delight.
