I keep falling... still
After all this time,I still keep falling for you.
Gathering thoughts…
Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
After all this time,I still keep falling for you.
1. What's the biggest business a single person can build without any employees? 2. Can a society with diverse, conflicting values survive? 3. Is it better to embrace human nature and play status games or fight it and attempt to avoid them? 4. What factors make a place worth living in? 5. How can I help my hometown…
Last night I finished reading a book I rather enjoyed—You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine by Alexandra Kleeman, which I thought shared traits with Tom McCarthy's Remainder—and this morning I followed Goodreads' call to action within one of their "You finished reading this, what's next?" emails by following the author…
a new day is here nothing can be assumed no one knows the way ( some claim to know and take the lead ) the fog is impossible and the journey so long but we get up and walk the only thing we can do
I own a KZ750E - the four cylinder. Every now and then I try to convince myself that I do not need another motorcycle - but I mostly fail. I have narrowed it down to being a parallel twin. But I have a hard time deciding. Today I will share the research I did today between the three mentioned in the headline. My main…
I'm discovering that when hardship strikes, it's tempting to wallow in self-doubt, but it’s more rewarding to put in the effort to prevail. Don't get me wrong, feelings are important but in the long run if your feelings keep you stagnant - then it's time to activate your will and fight for the outcomes you truly…
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…
my heart just skipped a beat i noticed that you can only tell in hindsight who you really loved for me, one of my true loves in life was my friend danny we used to listen to music together and talk about philosophy i just found danny on my old spotify account; he follows me there i want so badly to message him but…
The paradox of life is, It gives,the lightness of joy and the burden of pain; and takes,so we may learn the worth of what was given. Every gift of joy or burden of sorrow, arrives with the promise of its leaving. And though we may celebrate or grieve its passing, It was never meant to be kept....only experienced. Time…
Just do everything perfectly. Once at a time. Conversations - throw away the unimportant bits. Be clear - tell yourself be clear Even when you got into shit situations Find one way to go out You are good at doing that You need to improve To be better at doing the task while doing though Don’t get stuck at previous…
There are two types of learning: structured and unstructured. The first is like reading a textbook from the start to the end. The second abandons all formal progression through learning material. There's one reason why those who follow an unstructured approach end up ahead. When you go through a formal course, you're…
Remember the childhood tale about an emperor wearing invisible clothes but, in truth, was naked? His Council of Ministers and the kingdom did not tell him because they feared his wrath. But, it was a child who laughed and said, "the Emperor has no clothes." Now place yourself in the shoes of the Emperor's Prime…
Two young fish are swimming along, when they come across an older fish swimming the other way. He nods at them, saying, “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on; eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?” David Foster Wallace narrated this parable to…
Cold pizzas. They can’t be returned to their initial stage. You can reheat and eat but you cannot bring the taste back. It’s a symbol of things that are not reversible in nature and life. It is a sign of lost and found but found different than original. A cold pizza in your kitchen counter sings a slow melancholic…
Trump has got a reality check in the form of the midterm elections result. The man's invincibility has taken a hit because anyone who respects rationality and common wisdom would not take the decisions that he has taken. I am not an expert on politics or geopolitics but whenever I set out for something, I keep one…
I like to set some life goals for me, my husband, our little family. I set long term goals; I set short term goals. Very short ones, even. Like, what is our checklist on a random Saturday? Our goals last Saturday were doing laundry, taking Alia on a swim, and enjoying some hotpot for dinner. And we were right on…
I prefer packing last minute. It has helped me pack better and not forget the essential items. But this preference is in stark contrast with that of my parents. My mum packs about 2-3 days in advance, and my dad at least the day prior. My preference started changing when I began traveling without my parents. At first,…
I started this year, finding out my supposed boyfriend had a pregnant finace. It was a nasty experience, but I had to forgive myself and forgive him to forge ahead.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh this week instead of my daily renders i took the time to develop more of a framework around how to use an AI text to image generator. with unlimited possibility for iteration, the power is to add layers of complexity slowly to the process as progression continues to further hit the design ethos. emphasis…
I haven't written anything anywhere in a long time, my articulation of sentences is poor, use of punction is very poor, I don't know how to write. want to get better but i dont know how.
Really hoping this is the last restaurant I ever work at and end my cooking career with a bang and make something cool happen while working at this place. Been 3 months since I've started and it's been a pleasure so far.
Indians have fell in love with historical fiction. Not the one where fiction incorporates historical elements but the one where fiction is served up as history. And we gobble it all up as reality and consider ourselves smarter for having done so. It's a selective exercise in being a highbrow audience & a demonstration…
running away is easy. you can run away from problems. you can run away from solutions. you can run away from reality. you can run away from delusion. you can run away from love. you can run away from hate. running away from anything is easy because you're afraid of stopping. you're afraid of stopping one day and…
There is only one God, luck. Every individual is more often than not a captive of forces beyond their capacity. Such is the power of luck that it can effectively put hard work, effort and persistence to shame. Helplessness is one of the many brutal emotions known to human kind. For that is when the mind decides to…
There's this scene from the Netflix series Sense8 (which I recommend) where the protagonists of the show mull the question: who am I? It's a beautiful moment where they rhetorically pose the constituent questions required to answer the big one. Your love, your fears, your losses all together make you, you. For the…
Time has changed but we still fall for things that promise quicker resolutions. We fell for 2 minute Maggi's because it says so and now we are falling for 10 minute deliveries. Same strategy, same trap and we too are falling the same way. Although I have seen some backlash to this new way of deliveries on Twitter. I…
Emotionally-charged, moralizing content wins the virality lottery most often: - For each "moral-emotional word" used, content receives between 17-24% more engagement. - Moral anger and disgust increase virality across the political spectrum. - Content that’s written in more divisive, inflammatory language is…
The last few weeks, I've unknowingly put myself under great pressure in becoming more than what I am now. How did I know? I noticed a pattern of disassociating from my wants, needs, life. I craved for a type of satisfaction I don't know how to fulfill. I slept it off, I ate it off, I drank it off. I went away. There's…
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
Walk around. And conceive the best things Because really; it wouldn’t make sense if you try to think “you’re special”. The fact is probably you’re not - it takes hard work to build confidence and real talent/effort into doing certain things well. It wouldn’t makes sense if there are 2000 years of mankind history And…
I stumbled upon this platform and became curious. Will restriction generate creativity? I believe it will, but I will have to see. Observe the changes. Useless until proven useful. But... I expect external things to provide me with inspirtaion for writing. I don't hold my own procrastination and insecurities…
today i did yoga whilst fantasizing about being "LA rich" being "LA rich", I would do yoga outside, absorbing heat from the sun like a reptile do yoga inside, cozy-style lounge about, read go on "reading vacations" at bed & breakfasts in Big Sur eat salads, drink wheatgrass shots drive around in a sexy stylish…
I used to be a born fan of top-down approach. I never could wrap my head around small things if I couldn't figure about the existence and why of things. And that's okay while you're learning but innovation can't be done this way you need to solve a lot of small puzzles to figure out how to solve the larger one or even…
“When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom. He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.” 2Samuel 7.12-13. God blesses those who serve and reverence him, as he did David, but he thinks far…
Se sentó en la orilla del borde y gimió: "Nadie me hace caso". El viento siguió pasando, haciendo las cosas que hace el viento, incluso dentro del propio cuerpo que dijo el absurdo. Luego llovió y de su agua salitrosa se hizo un espejo, donde vió, por fin, la causa de su nube amarga. Daniel Verdad ©
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…
Ahhh observe from behind. an alternate message is revealed. is this a message you want to share? if not iterate on the original until both messages are what you want to share because the alternate view from others is just as valid as your own...
Hoje falei pras minhas amigas sobre o cara elegante do meu trabalho e como, quase de forma obsessiva eu olho para ele procurando alguma parte amassada em sua roupa, algum desvio de postura ou um fio de cabelo fora do lugar. Não encontro. Da ultima vez que o vi, notei que ele vestia uma camiseta branca de algodão e uma…
You wanna be charismatic and people person as much as possible. So when you leave the office - remember that you’re only doing it cos you wanna get rest at home. Everything you do makes sense - so heads up and say bye to your superior and colleagues (imagine what E will do) - oh bye! And the voice will not really…
Vc não gosta de velas Mas vc tem em casa Vc não gosta de tesoura Mas vc tem tesoura em casa Vc não gosta de costurar Mas vc precisa ter AGULHAS em casa pra caso tenha alguma urgência Costurar é uma tradição Dois reais apenas 26 agulhas 9 centavos cada agulha. é o que repetia o senhor no vagão. passou uma, duas, três,…
What happens when the community and beliefs that helped shape our minds and lives start to fail us? When the questions start to accumulate and remain unanswered or unacknowledged, a gap starts to form. If we’re fortunate enough, the community recognizes this and starts building bridges. If not, we’re forced to jump…
Hoje é o dia do Leitor. Felizes de nós que pegamos gosto pela leitura desde cedo, e assim tivemos acesso a um milhão de mundos, a inúmeras vidas. Podemos viver pela leitura situações que torcemos para nunca encontrar na vida real. Morremos mil vezes, amamos, sofremos, exploramos mundos, enfrentamos nossos medos,…
One of the first questions a therapist asks when you start therapy is "Tell me about your childhood." There is a stigma attached to mental health and while the world at large has started to make peace with that now, there's still shame attached to bad parenting. My childhood was spent in survival mode. My parents had…
I was 13 or 14 when access to the internet became something that lots of 'normal' people could have. I instantly got it, this was a complete shift in accessibility of information AND the ability to participate in 'publishing' and sharing your own creations. It took me 6 years to go from there to building websites,…
"As long as you believe in yourself and believe that you are good at what you do, people are gonna start believing in you" In the start up sauna event there was a panel of founders discussing their experiences and life journey and this phrase just stuck with me. For me, I kinda feel people in my circle believe in me…
Being an introvert is not often a bad thing, especially in later stages in life. It becomes arduous to find people you can relate to and be comfortable around. It is either because everyone changes from being naive. Or it is because we just happen to interact with a lot more people to which we aren't habituated.…
A quick thought; Interesting results for AI portraits come when a prompt is structured with two genders. An example prompt; a photograph of a woman by Man Ray. Thinking about how this sentence can be confused and how the AI could be interpreted. The woman is taken as priority, it guides the overall features, then Man…
Modern life makes us hyperfixated on the destination. Get into a top college, get a job by 22, marry by 30 etc etc. Drilling into our heads that the destination is what it is, whereas if you take a step back, you'll realise that destination is largely irrelevant except for a specific reason, the destination helps us…
