Let Me
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
Gathering thoughts…
Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
When did being mindful become an abstract, complicated process that we must opt into daily? To be mindful is simply to be attentive and aware. To get out of your own head. To realize the world doesn't revolve around you. To be curious about what is going on with others and to engage accordingly. In other words: don't…
"Your only power in life is to inspire other people. And the only way to inspire them is to live the most authentic and genuine life to yourself possible." - Naval Got very inspired by this quote from Naval this morning and it made me think of a recent convo I had with ldf saying how I feel almost pressured to do a…
It's 11:45pm on a Monday. The 1st of May,2023. I am creating this page so that I can write down my script ideas which I hopefully will execute when I have more time. These stories mainly deal with the emotions and stories of the people I meet, stories which may never me discovered, because the people living the…
So it's my turn of having a car that will remain mostly unused in the parking lot of my building, as I work from home. Never thought I would ever have a car, because I don't need one, but the hard winter of Canada, the long waiting time for public transportation in the cold, and the hassle that is now using the car…
Hoje eu também tomei minha vitamina de banana com chocolate. Agora só me resta uma banana e vou precisar ir ao mercado comprar mais. Sábado de carnaval. Tive a ideia de sair pra vir num show do Nei Lopes no Sesc Pompeia e, com ingresso comprado, não poderia voltar atrás. Poderia, mas perderia 21 reais (viva o Sesc). E…
I always thought that I was flexible, could adapt well, and thrive in the newest of environments. But with the speed at which the entire digital landscape around us is changing, I'm not so confident anymore. Having always tied my worth to my productivity, what if I'm not relevant anymore? Another thing that worries me…
i have never recovered from the love i felt for you it doesn't matter if someone is bf material or not--you can fall in love with them--because it's not for the sake of making them your bf that you fell in love with them
Nov 20, 2023 marks a few approaching ends—the conclusion of the year, the nearing end of my mid-20s, and the closing of this chapter of my life. I have found a myriad of tools to distract me from my anxiety, with nostalgia being a key one. I dress in '90s fashion to emulate the teenagers I saw when I was a kid in LA,…
I have always found myself constantly searching for that one thing that will turn my life around. That one solution that will solve all my problems and make everything better. I remember times when I have lacked patience and have sought instant results. For instance,when I started doing yoga, I wanted to do advanced…
people want to have good intentions. and often, they do. but as with all things human, the reality is blurrier than that. we ourselves can be tricked by these intentions. disguised as selfless, acts of kindness can be like a shield from responsibility. how quickly we devolve from the purest aims to bitterness and…
condition1 ? (condition2 ? option1 : option2) : option3 I like the conciseness of them. They are easy for me to read and reason about in the moment. They are not easy to reason about in 2 months time when I encounter it again. Its why I prefer some verboseness to ease and help future me if condition1 return condition2…
think of me like a torch in your hand, a helping light. someone who helps you see through the dark tunnel. but not as someone who latches onto your wrist and pulls you through—without you seeing, without noticing the world as it rushes by. the tunnel is yours, not mine. we are in our own dark tunnels, carrying tools.…
I'm currently finding great enjoyment in qualitative research. Diving deep into a topic, and rethinking and processing all the information until something clicks in a "Eureka" moment is very satisfying. It requires effort to get started (the lazy part in me is fighting against getting started), and costs a lot of…
OpenAI keeps shipping world-changing products at a ridiculous pace. And I’m terrified. The computer revolution went after scribes and accountants. The internet revolution went after mailmen and retailers. Now, the AI revolution is coming for the creative folk. And I like to think I’m one of them. It’s natural to be…
6h da manhã e ainda estou bêbada de chandon e tendo uma jornada aqui no vaso da casa de praia. Meu cunhado casou ontem e eu adoro casamentos, mesmo odiando. É de uma contradição, mas explico. Adoro pela vibe das pessoas, todo mundo se arruma e obrigatoriamente fica feliz. É bom pra rever gente legal também e dançar…
Journaling daily is required to build a habit. I’ve heard others say: I don’t have anything to journal about. My day was great, what do I write now? There are no set rules for what you should write or how much you should write. You'll have more to write if you use a balanced approach. I write the same words I would…
and we are standing there match in each hand in a room full of petrol pretending not to notice the air shimmering in a quiet resonance something we’ve seen before fairy-tale tangled in ‘what ifs’ scared of bruising whilst knowing exactly one wrong move and the place is ashes and dust
Do you know what is the most common definition of nature? "Nature is the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations." A very egoistic and relative definition if you ask me. How about…
22nd I have realised my intense need for validation for the past hurt that I have gone through. That has been further magnified because Nelson does not agree with what I say and that makes me doubt my self confidence so much. So I have been actively seeking validation. I’ve been looking for evidence backing what I…
To be influencing And effective in your words The smartest/dumbest person would do when someone point his pain point to you is straight to to his pain point and talk about that point Side him first “I understand! He’s so COPYCAT like omg I can’t believed what he did” “But…” “Have you thought of talking to him about…
She was a poem, I wrote in the sand, and I watched, As the waves of time, faded her memory. Time draws its own lines, carrying away each moment, each word. I was a fool to think, the shore, could hold her forever. Like the beautiful sunset, at dusk, watch it with awe, take it all in, because the sky will darken. Now,…
comecei a ler "Boa noite, Punpun", meu primeiro mangá. o Gabs que me emprestou. ontem fui na casa dele, para o segundo ensaio do curta "Dependência". tem sido divertido fazer esse curta. apesar do cansaço generalizado que o fim de ano traz, vai ser divertido produzir CINEMA. visto que minha última experiência foi a…
Ahhh... Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intrigued me recently because it challenges the way we understand. it is like a true mirror of ourselves. it has the potential to create beauty and already does. but it may also show us a side of ourselves we do not like...
So far so good I suppose, I'm comparing this experience to my micro.blog experience. The "write post" editor is not quite up to my standards and could use some improvement but it works very well. It feels like I'm writing in notepad, and I hate writing in notepad. Maybe I'll come back here and update my post with more…
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.
Hi all, this space caught my attention. Let's see how long do I continue writing here.
A classic blocker is the idea of your siblings reading what you wrote (i.e. that thing you thought in a certain circumstance): that is pure deep terror.
TL;DR: when I am sending my Calendly link, please know my intent is to save each of us time, not some sort of presumption that my calendar is more important than yours. Longer: I am pro-Calendly. I realize that there has been a debate around it following a VC's rant. I get the critique: if I send a Calendly to you,…
What if what I thought was wrong My perspective aren’t the right one The thought process is not the strongest one How do I forge it within myself To have intelligence I need to be hardworking and keep thinking on it Work on the details Been too lazy to think And that becomes a habit Even the type of bikes, the roads,…
me: i have a once in a lifetime opportunity for you seb: ok? me: do you want to hear it? seb: well they're usually scams me: so do do you still want to hear it? seb: sure me: ok, so how about when you're done making that box, you can go rinse off the deck while i dust off and vacuum down here? seb: weren't all of…
I really, really tought that I was above all this situation. That I left all in the past and moved on. That I, as a grow up human been, got my shit together and solved my problems by myself and. But now it came back. It looks like a tsunami in my head and in my chest. A tsunami AND a thunderstorm. AND a earthquake.…
Imitation game is one of my all time favorite movies. I find this quote prodoundly true. Alan Turing: When people talk to each other, they never say what they mean, they say something else... It's interesting how, when someone says something, they actually meaning something else and intend for the listener to…
i noticed that sometimes i am prone to self-deluding untruths. i have observed primarily two types of lies: (1) "i will do xyz" and i do not end up doing xyz (and this task has nothing to do with difficulty of achievement; if i wanted to do it, i would've done it. it is always something trivial) (2) "i am so excited…
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…
What I want to learn to figure out: how to forgive and forget? I think the reason I got triggered again is because I dealt with the Nelson story by painting him as the villain and moving on. But shoo dating him is just clear evidence that I can’t be right and it has deeply challenged my beliefs on that. If Nelson…
Why are we so unhappy with our work? And if we are unhappy? Why are we doing it? Who is making us do it? Is it the govt? The society? Your family? The ‘top 150’ people who run the world? Why are they called ‘top 150’ anyway? Is happiness even a correct measure of us working? Or should we just be satisfied? Is it…
Recently I was wondering about how the world has become bigger and smaller for me at the same time... And probably not just for me but for everyone in a sense... I went back home... where i used to be a small kid 20 years ago... I saw kids playing in the common area... i remembered playing cricket there and always…
There many vivid memories and stories that tie me to the monsoons. Growing up in Bandra, swimming regularly at a Club in Khar and going to a school in Santacruz, I am confident that I experienced monsoon in its full glory just by virtue of growing up in these neighborhoods. Early adult life, living in Cuffe Parade…
We all want, so badly, to be loved unconditionally but we struggle to live with the ambivalence of adult love. Adult love starts off wild and intense; strong and stubborn like a mule. But with time, it weakens; eroded by the little things. It falters in the face of unmet expectations, flounders as our outcomes…
Aqui em São Paulo tem uma padaria chamada olivier. É de um apresentador e chef famosinho e, sinceramente, vale o hype. Eu, que gosto de coisa boa, não resisti. No final do ano, convenci cinco amigas do trabalho a irem lá comigo para um cafézinho de finalização do ano. Chegamos, sentamos e eu e mais uma das meninas…
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…
If one believes a certain proposition to be true for all times and for all places, the proposition can be said to be universally true. Conversely, if a proposition is only true for a particular time and place, the proposition may be true for other times and other places, but not necessarily so. Consider the…
I've often pondered the concept of states and governments. When you zoom out, it's actually quite strange and alienating: some institution draws a line, declares that the land within it belongs to them, and all people living there must follow the rules set from above and give up a part of their belongings. On one…
You want it - you need to get it. Speaking like yourself And having that “qualifications” and deep thought process Having a mind is one thing But speaking eloquently and able to convey your messages to the world is one too You think of mum - speaks and shouts loud but no content - people look at her for fun Think of…
I think it’s time to pick this thing back up and micro-journal daily. The goal. To create a writing habit that sticks.
In what world are we living, where instead of being present in our environment, we are looking at ourselves through our phone screens? Yesterday, I saw an amazing sunset in its different stages: peaking through the clouds, reflecting in the water and creating a golden path, and then fading into a soft afterglow. I…
ahhhhhh shock! my eyes are opened to a creative AI tool, here is a first though after using the tool: creativity for the general public will soon be more accessible and capable of creating things for people who don't 'mind' what the outcome is as long as it hits their description closely. But what this tool will do is…
