Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I love the structure of a routine. After being out of routine for the last three weeks, I finally returned to it. I felt the burden lift from my shoulders when I pressed “publish.” My sacred hours are in the late evening. I write an essay, something like an organized brain dump, on my topic of choice. The last task of…
there is something about the nature of the things i seek which makes them hard to find namely that i look for things that are largely unspoken i look for the anti-memes and i am so attuned to this quality that the books i want to read are often difficult to acquire or out of print
hoping for a universal salvation. hoping that up and above, his mercy is so immense, that though every human soul, when even when they repent, is forgiven and chooses salvation. yet when every human soul is forgiven, teachings are useless and what they preach is disregarded as every sin is still forgiven, no matter…
Never do the perfect job - you're not paid to do the perfect job. Do a good job. Put 80% of your time focusing on how to land a good job. 20% to do your development, research on yourself, your colleagues, your partners and your future growth.
i zoned out at the table again and for a while you didn’t say anything but then like a gentle tug, realigning my orbit when the disassociation dissipates, you anchor; “are you alright?” and it echoes then and now, in my own head, like a muffled drum “are you alright?”
We waste too much time waiting. We wait for the clock to strike the perfect 9 AM, 10 AM, 2.30 PM, or 11 PM to resume work after a break. We'll scroll through a few more reels if there are 3 minutes to 5.30 PM. I used to do that while studying. I would arbitrarily take a break and then resume at half past something.…
Gives me perspectives on How you always work so hard for someone And you gotta be fearless & understand you don’t have any thing that drags you down E: if you don’t love the girl or the guy, it’s okay to let it go - and if you’re on the other side Understand that it’s okay & let it go Kinda in your situation now Just…
Short one today. Got stuff somewhat ready for tomorrow. Invited some coworkers over for a hangout after work. First time inviting people over to my place. Was trying to print and post some photos that I took as wall decorations. Almost end of the week. One more thing: I think I may want to try and make this a photo…
looks so much like my cousin that i'm not allowed to have a crush on him but old keanu reeves...
Complexity will make you successful 不该认真的时候不要太认真 幽默才能过得更久 所以有时太认真 看清更多事实 会更难生存 (analogy - if you see every each dust in the particles you won’t feel good) Another thing is do it now. Or think it now. What is the thing that you don’t feel like doing but you think you SHOULD’VE been doing… don’t think. Just do it!
When I started journaling, I read about all the benefits except one. Journaling is a tool for change. If you journal, you are ready for change. If you’re not a journaler, you need a daily journaling habit to assist you in making a change. Journaling provides four strategies to use when seeking a change. 1. Knowledge…
The simultaneity of continuity and change is one of the greatest paradoxes that shapes the way we lead our lives. Humanity has more or less perfected the art of passing down elements unique to cultures across generations. Culture ensures we carry the useful things forward with us. Things that aren't get changed. While…
"For my theme song, my leather black jeans on" are the two first bars on Kanye's song "Black Skin Head" from his album "Yeezus". If you don't know the background of the album, Yeezus, it's basically a huge "fuck you" to the entire hip-hop industry and it's Kanye truly accepting who he is as a person and doing whatever…
I'm talking about structures - more specifically incentive structures. Politics, economies, sports teams, companies are all driven by incentives Those that set up well calibrated incentive structures are the most successful That's why capitalism (with regulation to account for self-centeredness of humankind) works so…
Now that you have read the part 1 of it, let us get started with the steps - Step 1 - Chop a large onion (or 2 small ones) into really fine slices. Add 4-5 tablespoons (a little more if you want added oiliness. No harm there.) of oil in a large vessel which is a cooker, needed to prepare the curry-like thing that's…
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…
É a primeira vez que passo o Ano Novo em Berlim. A temperatura surpreendeu bastante batendo 16ºC no termômetro. Eu, que durmo geralmente bem, fiquei insone durante a noite anterior após começar a ler um livro tão lindo e tão triste, que me deixei envolver pela leitura a ponto de despertar totalmente. Acordei hoje…
The world of crypto has been rocked (yet again) with the FTX news. Weirdly enough, Meta also announced that they were laying off 11,000 employees today (the bottom?). The whole FTX saga unfolded really fast - just a few days - and that's what I find fascinating. One might view this as bad since FTX was a pretty large…
Today I’m listening to Luka Beatović’s 2021 album BLATO. A fairly small artist, Luka hasn’t hit the 1000 play milestone on any song on Spotify. Despite this, this album is one of the most fascinating I’ve had the pleasure of hearing all year. Potentially described as a dark ambient album, this collection of tracks is…
I finally jumped onto the startup bandwagon towards the end of 2021 at the time when offices were sending emails to their employees about opening up. It occurred to me then that if I did not do this, then the only choice left to me would be to go back to the corporate world. I decided to start my own corporate world…
My first thought here was ok.. let's see what's up. After reading a few blogs I wonder if there are any humans around here. It looks nice on the surface and feels cool under ground. I wonder ...There must be something out here, limits are everywhere so let's find mine, was wondering my self. In the end it's only 10…
Tried weights to stretch my ears for the first time. They seem to work very well. I’m trying to get back to 38mm like I had a few years ago. I went from 32mm to 35mm with this first time using the two 32g weights. I think I’m going to stay at this size for awhile and let my ears get use to it before I try moving up…
Ever heard that saying? Course you have. Ever seen something genuinely new despite spending every day of your life on the internet seeing things that are little reworkings of things that have been done before? Sometimes yeah. This car thing is new to me. Look at it go!…
I was sifting through my social media accounts this morning. Several of my tweets or posts felt like they had been posted a few hours ago. I was recalling my thought process behind each post. How much time I took. How 'important' they felt. How they reflected my mindset and experiences at that particular moment.…
I am a shelf builder who displays my creativity, in my areas of practice, on my shelves. Recently, friend, Marlon, shared about the three domains in creativity - corporeal, hermeneutic, analytical - where Christian Julmi unpacks Hermann Schmitz's phenomenological approach. In the same conversation, Marlon and I…
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…
Today a short chapter of my life ended But every ending is a new beginning I'm looking forward to the new chapter I will fill the pages one by one Always searching for the right path to take ...
Hey guys, Today we'll talk about the legend of Amrita Sher-Gil. In memory of her life and the legacy she left behind. For all the things we read and hear about people of Ms. Sher-gil stature we ourselves have a personal relationship with them that's based on how we consumed them. This is my relationship with the…
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…
this post is an example of what i am trying to explain before you talk to someone about an idea, think about it on your own that could be writing, that could be thinking why? because there is nothing worse than a deep thought that hasn't been at least a little thought through it's good to discuss these things with…
Li A hora da estrela, de Clarice Lispector e hoje discuti no clube do livro sobre como a obra me tocou. Também me pergunto com frequência se sou um monstro ou isso é ser uma pessoa, Clarice, por ir contra minha criação principalmente. Ver uma pessoa tão simples economizando a vida, repetindo crenças que não fazia…
In December 2022, I chose the word ’connect’ as my word of the year for 2023. I want to connect with people in person and on social media. I want to connect with others through my writing and connect my actions to my purpose. Connecting on social media requires: Showing up daily to post content. Responding to comments…
one of my goals in life used to be to feel stoned without smoking weed and i realized that you can do that it's called art. consume it, make it. listen to music go on a run (yes specifically go on a run) it's very simple and this is why proust thinks that art is the purpose of life
I'm currently at a wellness hotel with my parents, enjoying fantastic 4-course menus for dinner. The contrast from university canteen food was high, yet by day 3, it's already starting to feel normal. This shows how quickly our reality shapes our perception, with new experiences rapidly becoming our new normal. We…
It’s me…again…here bc I’m wondering what will resonate if/when Twitter really does shift into a place I no longer want to be.
before i left italy, i was perfectly content. now that i've been to indonesia for 2 months, i am so fucking bored back in italy. my life in italy before we left consisted of: - friends (who are now kind of scattered) - books but half the books i was about to read are about tiny north american problems which seem so…
I like how Nicheless just has this whole, "I am a blank page and I dare you to write something on me," vibe to it.
Hoje eu passei o dia todo trabalhando em um artigo para o fechamento de uma matéria da pós. Da próxima vez, preciso pegar um tema mais fácil. O medo de lidar com grandes corporações e seu cinismo em relatórios oficiais e também na imprensa é grande. O que parece apenas desonestidade tem como pano de fundo estratégias…
Ontem a minha dog retirou os pontos da cirurgia de retirada de todas as mamas do lado direito. Não sem resistir, chorar, gritar, querer morder todo mundo na sala. E não sem eu brigar com o veterinário bruto que acha que pode falar que a cachorra é dramática. Puxa sua pele com uma pinça e passe a tesoura numa área…
Have you ever have conversations You think you wants to be ready before And you slight regretted you only get to think of what you think and should’ve said One minute after what you said. You can only be ready When you keep thinking about it When your mind is occupied about the thing You can’t let yourself caught off…
Neil DeGrasse Tyson once made an argument underlining the difference between a political/courtroom debate and a scientific debate. And according to him, the crux of the difference lies in the possibility of an agreement between the two participants based on mutually agreed, objective, observable facts. That is, for…
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…
Eu volto de férias hoje às 14h. Tenho certeza que tenho muitos emails para ler, só não mais que eu teria se estivesse trabalhando no varejo. Então, um mais um motivo para agradecer. Agora, minha quarentena esse ano vai ser do instagram. Volto daqui 40 dias. Com o tempo, pretendo ler mais, estudar mais. Hoje também fiz…
Hace unas horas leí una frase que me impactó mucho que decía masomenos así: "No te elevas al nivel de tus metas, caes al nivel de tus hábitos" y dándole vueltas me quede impresionado por la poca importancia que le damos a muchos de nuestros hábitos. Si bien llevar una vida con hábitos correctos no es tan complicado,…
There are animals that are also plants. Elysia Chlorotica is a slug that looks like a leaf. She's the one on the top left in the image above. Part of what makes a plant a plant is that it can make its own food out of inorganic materials like sunlight and water. Slugs like Elysia are mixotrophs. They eat food like…
lately i've noticed that where you write has an impact on how you write. i don't mean where your body is, like cafe or your bedroom or a toilet stall, but i mean where your writing goes. it makes a difference what app, notebook, platform, program you use. it totally affects the way that the information is conveyed and…
When we think of the word "slavery," defined as a system of relations in which individuals are compelled to perform labor, it is reasonable to define the inverse as the absence of compulsion. The word most associated with such a situation is "freedom." Closely related but with a more political connotation is the word…
It's the Friday afternoon, the feeling of welcoming the weekend starts setting in, a few have made plans for Friday night, while a few are making plans for a mini vacation, a few are just thinking to just sleep and forget away the week that has gone by... U start to hear the excitement around the floor and the noise…
