Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Today is the last day I can do one of those ramblings only 20-somethings do. As the clock strikes midnight, my trial period of adulthood will end and the actual subscription will begin. This is like one of those SMS services that you never signed up for and now there’s no way to unsubscribe. I’ll be 30 tomorrow. About…
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm a thousand feet tall. When I think I've lost you, I feel like I'm dying. I live for all the little moments I spend with you, your smile, your voice, the little curve of your nose and the silly way you make the worst things funny. You are never far from my thoughts. I could write a…
Getting home from work and being in a kitchen all day it makes you realize how much more you want that dream to work. Cooking it’s cool it’s fun and creative but to be doing all day? Not that cool. . . Need to hyper focus more on the dream/goal
I try to begin each day with a clear mind by avoiding my phone, the internet, and anything else that could be a distraction. Sleeping through the night acts as a reset, clearing out the mental clutter that accumulated during the previous day. I strive to maintain this clarity and keep my mind as noise-free as possible…
I would have never discovered wonders of a co-working space, had I not started on my own. The hunt for my own office space made me look for options beyond traditional spaces. The real estate in Mumbai is so expensive that anyone with limited finance has no choice but to be imaginative. The pictures of spaces, within…
I was woken up by mom having really high fever and immense body pains. It was immensely scary. I was suddenly face to face with exactly how helpless I was without her. Also, my immediate reaction was anger towards her. Anger for being vulnerable. I don’t know why I react this way Just the previous night, had a…
Today I had a goodbye dinner with my parents at a nice restaurant, before leaving for San Francisco tomorrow. It was the same restaurant where we have been for a goodbye dinner nearly exactly two years ago, before I left for my exchange semester to Taiwan. It felt melancholic to have a similar moment again. And it…
There’s no need to feel anxious about things, especially now I know that these aren’t like hard things to do yknow. Knowing about cafes, food and bars, you don’t have to “STUDY IT” per se, like really put all your efforts into it You’re stronger now. You used to be waking up feeling anxious about what you feared you…
Coming back to a country that never felt like home. Every time I come back to Chile at immigration, I watch as the officer speaks Spanish to the non-Asian person in front of me, then switches to English when he realizes that that person doesn’t understand Spanish. When it’s my turn, the officer immediately addresses…
I think a lot about gratitude. Writing daily gratitude is a habit that changed my life. So it follows that I write about writing gratitude. Sharing your gratitude is a way to promote a positive outlook on life. I’m not talking about saying, “Thank you.” That’s a polite behavior we are taught in childhood. You need to…
ahhh! today creation is hard. it frustrates me. reoccurring in my mind as an emotion, fades from top to bottom. somewhere in the gradient is the perfect colour that represents the output of my frustration
He began as most men do, not knowing he had to become anything. As a boy, he thought it was enough to feel. To wonder. To speak beautifully and be heard. But the world taught him otherwise gently at first, then all at once. He learned that wonder doesn’t fill a room, and beauty doesn’t hold it up. That silence wins…
uma das piores coisas de ser uma pessoa ansiosa é ter que trabalhar com pessoas extremamente lentas e ao mesmo tempo arrogantes. eu prefiro um arrogante que já resolve os problemas (ou mostra interesse em resolvê-los), do que um que deixa tudo para o último instante, o que me faz sentir uma tortura excruciante por…
"What types of jobs are you looking for?" It was an obvious, straightforward question. But to be honest, I didn't really have an answer. I was in business school. I know. I know. (I'll talk more about the pros and cons of business school later.) There is a glut of information about startups. Search twitter, tech news…
posts in the discover tab only shows posts from 2022, wonder if this platform is still active.
In life, shouldn't this be my goal? What can I do to make sure I wake up excited each day? How can I structure my future days to improve the probability of this happening for me and the people I care about? I won't share an answer (because I don't have one yet) but I'm confident this is a question worth asking.
Don’t have to be rich to be confident Just doing your thing, playing your game, knowing what you do is what you want Feeling anxious and conscious about it is a good thing. It’s a self protection mechanism that allows you to think for yourself But think for yourself when you’re alone. Don’t show it to others. Don’t…
Harry glanced at the monk and sighed, "Guess that makes me the fool. No one in their right mind would say they don't enjoy driving a Lexus." In moments when my rational mind has exhausted all possible avenues to reach a conclusion using scientific methods, I find solace in turning to philosophy. One fine morning,…
Será que já acabei com meus créditos de textos aqui? Fiquei dois dias sem escrever, né? Talvez mais. Voltando. Hoje está um dia lindo em São Paulo. Um silêncio no centro, céu azul e sol bom. Levei minhas dogs pra passear. A minha mais velha passou por um veterinário que disse que ela precisa tirar a cadeia inteira de…
Today marks day 50 of my daily writing challenge on Nicheless. Writing daily is starting to become a habit and I find myself consciously reflecting on my experiences more often. I like it. I feel it really helps me to have more clarity in my mind. So I am definitely going to continue with this challenge. However, I…
The wolf had a brief weird moment. He saw his own shadow waving at him. Was it a sign of some higher calling? Did the Gods of the forest will him to take a reckoning of his existence thus far? After all, he was walking the walk of a wisened and senile canid for a while now. Perhaps the moment was not far away when he…
See that? That’s a sticker on that glass door you’re about to open. It says PULL. But here’s the thing, the sticker is on the other side of the door. It’s an instruction on opening the door, but it’s not for you. For your eyes it’s backwards, like a mirrored version of the word, but your brain still reads the word…
we hung out with a new sailor today; well, new to us, not new to sailing. and we did NOT hit it off. at some point i could feel that he was trying to leave. it was like he was waiting for us to say something that we never ended up saying. what was it that he wanted us to say? i wonder what it is that made me hit it…
I didn't sell enough in the last cycle. I made too many long-term bets on projects that have not (🤞🏻yet🤞🏻) captured attention this cycle. Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ripple & Polygon, primarily. My thesis was that these are long-term projects/investments, and while most of them are in profit from where I bought, I…
I have a(nother) fun theory that I like, but have no idea of the veracity of. It's a two-parter: 1) I think people have an intuitive sense of someone's accent, only by sight. 2) I think it's because accents change faces. My basic premise is that different accents and languages activate different facial muscles - the…
I’m sitting in a cabin in Port Austin, Michigan, the very tip of the thumb. I woke up to the sounds of the lake, small waves crashing ashore beneath our back porch. Every few seconds, another crash. I could feel my body sway with the tide as it crashed in and rolled out, crashed and rolled, crashed and rolled. My…
Being more with my thoughts, I have come to a realisation how the entire world functions. We want instant results so much that companies have built a business model around it. Consumers don't realise the downside of this. Yes, it has made building things easier but at a cost of short span, short goals and living life…
I did not expect this one: === anon8858 It’s finally happening. General Rodriguez will make a public appearance for the first time in 2 years. This is the longest time a public official has been outside of the public eye. Last year, the rumors of his death were the top conspiracy theory in the country. These rumors…
India is undoubtedly facing challenging times. This isn't solely due to a specific party, but rather the collective direction we are taking as a nation. Our control has slipped away, replaced by desperation and misguided efforts. The current government's lack of action or passive endorsement of lawbreakers exacerbates…
7: Wake up, Shower etc. 8: Meditate, Journal 9: Read 10: Write 11: Exercise 12: Work 4: Meet a friend 6: Dinner 7: Hobby 9: Go for a Walk, Call a friend/family 10: Clean House, Shower, Plan the next day 11: Bed Most of my days don't look like this. But this is what an ideal would look like for me. For work, I'm still…
To not feel stagnant is to keep learning everything Consistent hunger for growth I used to think like I need to be doing this job before so I could be goood But I guess I was wrong The fun part is not knowing it at all And finding the answer I think that’s the joy of the game Consistently going into new things is a…
This is a tentative method but I’m trying to see how accurate of an impression you can get from an author by just reading their quotes (not life quotes just quotes from the œuvre) — is it like blood sampling, gelato sampling? Is there an emergent property on the level of the paragraph? The level of the chapter? Then…
Many times I have thoughts that is quite unnecessary? In the end of the day it doesn’t matter When it comes to story telling Details are king Though some unimportant filler words “I heard this story from another guy, he said” “Then he said, when he was sitting on the chair, he was trembling” I don’t think the story is…
i feel like ppl who doesn't know how to write, write "poetry" i want to try reading the bell jar even tho i'm against reading books by depressed people since depressed people can only speak from the point of view that life is pointless but i want to know what the fuss is about and i want to know how to dismiss it in…
i hate how much i loved your laugh. i hate how lonely all of this growth feels. i hate that you never celebrated my hard work. i hate that i tried. i hate that i loved your car. i hate that i loved every bit of that part of you that made me hate myself. i hate that i stayed. i hate that i waited while your mouth…
More than three weeks in New Zealand with Mom and we’ve had the chance to see a few faces of the place. Underneath every stone there’s an additional one to be uncovered, and that’s how we’re led from here to there, everywhere. Anything we explore is an effort to explore ourselves - what an opportunity we’ve had here.…
Meus planos de ver meu sobrinho deram errado porque alguém decidiu que "não é o momento". Como eu não sou a mãe e não tenho papéis com decisões jurídicas, fica difícil bater de frente para impor minha vontade. Eu sempre digo: certo pelo certo. Tem que ir atrás das burocracias, os acordos precisam estar assinados por…
I’m a big advocate of making the most out of the cards you’re dealt. Take what you have in the moment and start fixing things. Slowly but surely, and within a reasonable timeframe, you’ll get what you want — or at least you’ll be 2X or 10X better than when you first started. Even if don't get what you want, or get…
For the past few years, I spend my time working in an ecosystem where colleagues, clients, and donors share concern to bring impactful solutions to improve the life of people who are often excluded socially and economically. We talk about low income segment who earn less, who rely on cash because she/he does not have…
if you start the day with a painkiller, you set yourself up for success i thought i'd preemptively dodge any period cramps today by starting off the morning with a beautiful little glowing blue pill and i am feeling just ok just normal so imagine how i'd feel without it! and i used to resist taking pain killers…
meu amigo mudou o número de telefone e foi aí que percebi que em algum momento eu havia perdido a minha grande habilidade de decorar números de telefone. fiquei imersa na reflexão do que poderia ter sido a causa da perda da minha habilidade por cerca de cinco minutos. eu me gabava por saber de cor os números dos meus…
Guy who wears suit Or try to impress everyone everyday at uni Thinking of life What did they turn out to be? Did they follow the system or they started something else for themselves as well? Do I actually want to just show my face to work? Ideas are forged - not created. Work on it and start day by day - and you…
had a terrible day. when is it that you don't have that. took my folder of reading material and went down to the bar downstairs. realized that my transitions glasses don't work in low light and certain angles. 2 martinis and 1 drink done by a bartender in tequila, had something to eat. bonded with the bartenders, came…
Congee served in a ceramic bowl, cubes of salmon still cooking slowly in a thickened broth of grain, stock and minced pork, each bite velvety on the tongue. Tangerine pollock roe smushed into a paste, generously seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon, egg yolks and a spoonful of Japanese mayonnaise. Expertly tossed through…
ahh as i continue to think about digital worlds my mind draws to how i would like to be 'seen' inside of these worlds. digital fashion has been emerging with mainstream NFT projects as mundane clothing that imitates what we wear today. yet a digital world does not require us to wear clothes with the same intent. i…
I don't know yet how this platform works but will slowly see and explore if it fits to what I was looking for.
Can we all just agree to spell the word "thru?" Imagine the environmental impact of saving all those electrons and ink not having to write "through." Probably won't happen, tho.
i am thinking of writing fan letters to my favorite authors. what do you think? i'm thinking of specifically: - megan boyle - i would like to say: i love your sense of humor, i love that you expanded my beliefs about what a "book" is and opened my tiny tiny mind up to the world of possibilities - jordan castro - a…
