Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
It is vitally important that you understand this one thing. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must stop chasing them. Here’s why. In nature, things that are chased run. Think about it. What would your instincts tell you to do if someone started running toward you? Run. Be it from them or with them. It’s in our…
After mulling it over for a couple of weeks, I made the change. I gave writers the option of adding a single image at the start of every Nicheless post. I'm not confident that it's the right move, but I'm eager to find out. If you're a writer here, I owe you an explanation. That's what this post is for. Firstly, let…
What is the goal of a human life? We are on this planet for 100 years at best and of those 100 years a part at the beginning and a part at the end will not be productive. So we only have limited time available to us. Within this limited time we build structures and systems in place to create, build and live on this…
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…
Today is my birthday. For some reasons I don't like my birthday. Why could that be? As a child, birthdays were magical - filled with excitement, gifts, and cake. Now, as an adult, the shine has worn off. Why? Perhaps it's the contrast between childhood anticipation and adult reality. As grown-ups, we can buy what we…
1. find a dark crevice to escape to. under your bed, behind a heavy curtain, in your closet, on a long walk in the middle of the night. usually its scary when you can’t see anything around you, but in these moments, let the emptiness of this blank palette make space for your racing mind. 2. notice the colors. the 8…
It is a fact of civilized life that there exist rules which govern and constrain individual behavior. You can't steal your neighbor's car because you don't have one, or because his is faster. Regardless of one's moral philosophical framework, just about everyone agrees on that. We tend to put the people who don't in…
I'm trying to write publicly at the same time authentically At the same time, without the performance pressure of likes, comments, RTs. Seems cool. Seems entertaining. Seems a good cathartic experience. I'm always in search of niching down. Hopefully this one would prove otherwise. I don't have to niche down. I can…
Most of the work I am most excited to accomplish feels nebulous in nature. Maybe it's partially my level of current understanding (true expertise is abstraction/compression of complex ideas into mental models, frameworks, puns, analogies and stories), but living in the unknown is one of my most favorite feelings. In…
For a long time now, I was eager to write content on a niche topic but was not able to do it due to lack of ideas. Now I have one idea on which I'm focused on, creating guides and publish them for public. The choices that I have to publish these guides on are: LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, Landing pages and website. I…
Regardless of what you do, we all have little moments in our daily life, where our minds get cluttered up with all kinds of negative thoughts, So, what do you do to get yourself out of it? this blog is just for it. I read a lot of self-help books, and everyone seems to have a different answer to this issue.…
Mais um início de semana. Estou com algumas coisas para entregar, mas, no geral, está tranquilo. Queria entender melhor como melhorar meu trabalho. Não trabalhar mais, mas de forma mais eficiente. Assisti mais episódios da série new girl e comecei a ver a série documental, dirty money. Comecei pelo episódio do donald…
In every job, there is a toughness and a hardness (difficulty) - everything has a level for you to attain; not everything is easy. In every job. Even if you’re not in the dream job yet you cannot lose your identity. You have to fight hard and do your best in every situation - earn as much, or learn as much: and do…
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…
The idea is pretty interesting. I always loved to do some similar thing as my personal blog. Though may I do so, since Nicheless is a micro-blogging platform. The best things about Nicheless in my opinion are its neat UI design, simple white theme by default and suckless UX as a blogging platform. The lack of "numbers…
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…
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…
Today I have improved a lot. I had a totally different mindset, full sage mode – open, curious, positive, creative, empathetic – and it’s crazy how others picked up on it and mirrored it. I participated in many of the sessions, communicated openly about what I needed and wanted, and simply talked to the others instead…
& control your own. Emotions, Your time, Your relationships, Your mental strength. Know the cards if you want to play the game Then you won’t feel anxious or feeling that the world is against you Know that the world won’t be pretty with people First important skills: learn how to deal with different people And what…
A lot of times we made decisions and kinda regret them But that doesn’t mean that we’re making the wrong decisions A lot of the time I was anxious, feeling not like myself because of money I was an avoidant I didn’t want to embrace my feelings But take all that emotions in And learn how to deal with pain That’ll bring…
Walking around the space where Im gonna spend these couple years, what was once a dream and now its's reality, it's something that I still can not process and it feels that I'm a impostor. Not because I don't think I belong here, but just because I never thought I would had gotten here a couple years ago. I hope that…
This was a crazy week for Azuki holders. On March 30th, the Azuki team airdropped not just 1, but 2 "Somethings" to each wallet for every Azuki in that wallet. Meaning holding 1 azuki = 2 somethings, and 20 = 40 somethings. A lot of speculation has started on what exactly is in this box that we were airdropped, but…
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…
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The Bard had wisdom it’s clear. Were a “rose” called a “plinth”, it would be just as pretty. Perhaps we’d have babies called Billy-Plinth? Is it true therefore that it doesn’t matter what you call your brand? If the product, service or values and…
Dear Habibti, Nobody knows tomorrow. We might get back together, or we might not. We might get married, or we might not. But I just want you to know that I have never felt the kind of oneness I felt with you with anyone before. You are special to me. I love you and I always will.
Forever can be broken down to a bunch of nows but can there be multiple nows? No matter how much you conquer you will always be beaten by the last second, the last mile and eventually the last breath. Which begs the question of what you really own. 20 minutes into meditation and i cannot tell whether the arms i’d…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V0rGf9PjzI wow when i play this piece it does not sound so interesting wtf how i guess he's just super into it when i play there are parts that i find boring and i don't try to make them interesting lol THAT'S WHY HE GETS PAID FOR THIS AND I DON'T (that plus technique hahahahaha) i'm…
What will forever haunt me about the Tyre Nichols murder is that he was calling for his mother during the last moments he was beaten to death. For all intents and purposes he died scared and alone, with no one to hold is hand and tell him he is loved. I know exactly what it's like to be alone, in the dark, scared, and…
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…
Some of the best things happen when you decide to go for it. I experienced one best thing when I challenged myself to journal gratitude. The Ship 30 for 30 writing cohort proved I could be a daily writer. What did I have to lose expanding my writing by keeping a gratitude journal for 30 days? I journaled gratitude a…
As far as I can understand, it's drawing out similarities in two dissimilar things, to further clarify certain things or make things even more comprehendible. Comparing two unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect. It's always recommended to talk in compare and contrast terms. Because we tend to…
The past three places I've lived have all been near a busy street. Not too busy, with cars honking and voices shouting. Not too loud like a highway. Instead, just the right amount of busy, at the right times. What do I mean by this? In the morning, when I wake up, I hear the cars and people start to move about,…
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.
I've been following the progress of a cyclist, as he attempts to ride over 2211 miles (3559km) in seven days. It's all in an effort to break a world record for the longest distance cycled in 7 days. He's a local chap and I follow him, Leigh Timmis is his name, mostly because I designed his website. I also built the…
Working on an art project I only ever have 5 or 10 minutes When it turns into longer It’s a damn miracle This Project Has been going on for years And in warps 10 years is conservative It’s been 30 years Depends On what part In 10 years I will have lived in New York As long as I did in Houston The Project forks off in…
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…
Priya, my wife, has turned 41 today, and I wanted to take a moment to pen down what she means to me and record my gratitude to her presence in my life. Soulmate is defined as a mate with whom you share your soul. Acknowledging how much she feeds my soul, she fits the moniker of a soulmate technically, rather than just…
It’s just decisions who make up who you are Waking up rather than staying on bed is not a choice someone ask you to do or “you didn’t have a choice” It’s how you decide to use your best knowledge for everything you do
Soon I'm going to start a new chapter in my life, one that I have been waiting for years: moving to a new country where I will study my dream degree and do what I am most passionate about. This is something I have manifested, talked about and it's actually happening. Honestly, right now, I can't even picture it; I…
I'm unconvinced astrological signs mean anything, but I think the time of year that you're born does have an impact on your life. Children born around holidays get different levels of attention than kids born nowhere near holidays. They could get less because everyone is paying attention to the holiday, maybe more if…
Ontem eu editei a minha lista de melhores amigos no Instagram e, exercitando as sugestões da minha terapeuta, expus que precisava de ajuda. Precisava de coisas do mercado e da farmácia e queria companhia. Prontamente alguém com quem eu fico com frequência respondeu perguntando o que eu queria e que horas ele poderia…
The anti-hustle people will tell you that if you're procrastinating on something, it doesn't mean you're a lazy good-for-nothing loser. It means your subconscious is sending you an important message. At the time of writing, I've just spent 5 hours pointedly not doing the real-life paid work that has been stressing me…
Why is it so difficult to live for today? The nerves when you're drinking coffee thinking of to-do lists for the week; frustrations when someone accidentally inconveniences you; the goals that seem so far-reached and keep growing no matter how close you get. Yet, there's the wind that reminds you of today; the sun and…
Last month, I started learning how to make homemade ramen. The goal was simple, make something edible. Now I'm getting pretty good at making ramen. And my interest is starting to peter out. I'm not waking up thinking about where to source local chickens anymore. I'm no longer rifling through amazon for better fridge…
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…
you had a lot of big adventures new sights and people. i had little of that. i don't mind that it's not the same for you for me, your friendship is the best thing to have happened to my year. i bask in the glow that you you're still here of course i'm still here sometimes i find myself waiting but i don't mind that…
It’s a common excuse. I don’t have time. If you want it bad enough, you make time. That’s the way I felt when I started my 30-day experiment on journaling gratitude. Now I have a full-blown journaling habit. I'm really grateful for it. You can build a journaling habit. It doesn’t take that much time. Here was my…
The problem with being an expert on Twitter is that there's no obligation to back your claims up with any real world experience. The fact that you can regurgitate other peoples ideas with little to no consequence means that, over time, people on twitter drift towards more talk, and less walk. I can't believe I'm…
