Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Não é gostoso ver uma praça ser ocupada? Aqui perto de casa tem uma e é uma profusão de diversidade. Crianças e seus pais, adultos e seus pets, comunidades de imigrantes, militantes, festeiros, universitários, fumantes e assim vai. Eu levo minhas cachorras duas vezes ao dia para uma voltinha. Elas adoram. É bom sentir…
Legacy is an idea that has recently been top of mind. Coupled with my retaking three PKM-related courses, I have been thinking about how and whether one's digital and physical "assets" (note to self: there are likely more descriptive and representative words) related to knowledge management provides for one's legacy.…
I never fail to have something to be grateful for. How can this be? My life is ordinary. I have a good life, with a home, food, and health. My ordinary doesn't look like your ordinary. For all of us many days look almost identical. You can only write the same thing in your gratitude journal so many times, right? The…
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…
i had to name you. one year later, i finally call you what you were: an abuser. does it ever hurt, knowing that you drove a knife through me without ever stabbing me? does it ever haunt you, how i kept begging for you to stop but you were drunk on ego? do you ever get scared of the way it will all come back to you? it…
when i say "addiction" i mean that it is becoming an actual problem i've been indulging in books, thinking, "this is never going to be a problem -- i have never heard of anyone with a book-addiction before scoff" but i've arrived at it and it is terrifying i'm becoming a habitual book reader and i'm not even asking…
your wife wakes up. opens the curtain. looks at you sleep. i imagined how you would look when sleeping. i don't know how i look when sleeping. i imagine do you smile when she brushes her hand on your cheek. i think you do. she makes good breakfast, doesn't she? i don't make breakfast. does she ground you? does it feel…
I am wondering what it takes to be all right today or on other days. Yesterday — or maybe two yesterdays ago — I was unsteady. I woke up and the breaths didn't want to escape my lungs through my mouth or their proper airways. I realize what was calling to me wasn't the mortal drag of my eventual drop to the ground.…
i don't have an answer to WHY but i know that they do (i say "they" even though i'm american because i do not suffer from this ailment) HOW I KNOW THEY HATE THEMSELVES: they are so obsessed with being the best at everything that they do not afford themselves the luxury of simply enjoying themselves, because they do…
HAVE I SAID ALL I HAVE TO SAY? Do those I love know the depth and history of that love, and that it persists beyond dimensions? Why am I waiting to tell them? Am I waiting for perfection before sharing my thoughts in writing or via speeches? What opportunity will I lose if the moment passes? HAVE I DONE WHAT I HAVE TO…
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…
Why is it so hard to start working out again when I know it’s going to help me feel better? I know it’s going to have a positive impact but it’s still so hard to start
All great people have gone through hell. All great individuals have endured their share of challenges. In our world, where we constantly compare ourselves through the touch of our phones, we've forgotten the effort it takes to achieve what we see on our screens. History repeatedly demonstrates that life consists of a…
My mom has found a unique way of pranking me. She'll throw a random but believable assertion related to my life (or so I think). Consequently, my inquisitive trait kicks in, trying to trace the reasons and origins of it. The ordeal ends by her revealing the farce behind her statement and how it revealed my deep-rooted…
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
Today, I met up with people from my CDTM class, an add-on study program in Munich. These are people I met just a year ago, and catching up with them, it's crazy to see how they’re all doing big things. In this circle, it seems almost normal - but it’s not. I believe a big part of this is being part of the CDTM program…
Same time. Same place. When you’re new to journaling, routine is important. The consistency of routine will create the habit. When I started journaling, I followed the same routine for 13 months. Every day I wrote gratitude as soon as I walked into the kitchen to start my day. It worked for me. I still prefer…
You’ve come a long way, GMT. A little more than a hundred years ago, a stevedore on a ship going from the south of China to the Philippines flicked you over to a young man to help his even younger bride with her seasickness as they made their way to their new life in an unknown land. Half a century ago, you mopped the…
What happens when your environment does not match your needs? As our need for food and safety is fulfilled, a new void opens up. The need for love and connection. This is where we start noticing other aspects of our environment. A friend, a beautiful lady in the street, a like on a post.. Our environment is the same,…
Lunch is in 20 min, Ill study after lunch Ill have to check this up, Ill study after I finish I have to go to the bathroom, after I start small distractions pile up into a big one and at the end nothing is done. set a time and put all the distractions in another room, sit till the time is up.
i'm editing some stuff that i wrote a long time ago while getting "hydrated" before my run (i heard it's important) and it is so whiny and depressing and i feel so bad for myself but i also think i had zero self-awareness i said things like "i'm attracted to brutes" and it's like, name ONE fucking brute you've ever…
Somewhat comically, Nicheless has found a couple of niches of its own. (1) Content creators who use it to publish content outside their niche. (2) Other creative people who use it as a low pressure environment to publish their thoughts. Besides copious amounts of gratitude towards early adopters, my mind is filled…
There is a way to do it better If something is wrong Fix it - don’t let it gone by and just let it cruise - take in charge of the ship And find a way to guide yourself to the correct path. Apply discipline - and make sure that you’re doing the right one As small as - or should I say ESPECIALLY the small details. (Like…
Why do you always “huh” and assume what people say. Don’t do that Focus on what people say to the 100% and - actually ask & listen very very carefully. Even if you’re doing anything or not doing anything. Don’t become lifeless and mindless zombie Just have own thought and critical thinking - think clearly before…
Life is fragile. A single event, decision, fight, health issue or any other reason can cause one's life to end, and the same goes for the rest of us. We never know what another people are really going through; social media doesn’t tell the whole story, and we can’t predict what will happen to us. So, let's be kind to…
...she, anyway, doesn't know me anymore. we ended things. i couldn't stand being around her. it doesn't mean that i loved her any less. i loved her more than she loved herself. she loved me less than she loved the version of me she wanted. you see...there was our problem. i had brought this to her attention as well.…
today should be a good day if we would be a could be.
Aĥĥ there is joy to find in thinking about how others create. their process, their thoughts, their ethos. some i can see clearly, while others make me wonder more. it is the latter who interest me most because whatever they create next, it will communicate another hint into how they create...
There are chaos in my head. An ocean's worth of storms inside a skull. Contradicting ideas and thoughts fighting each other like storms in the seas. However, there is no victor. Intrusive thoughts making me question my own thoughts and self. This goes to anyone who can relate with me. You, I see you. I hope we will…
You need someone you can tell everything. I share with my friends. They know a lot about me, but they don’t know everything. You can tell your journal everything. This essay and the next are examples of how I use my journals as a best friend. You may be surprised when your journal gives you an answer. I often clear my…
There’s one simple rule for beginning journalers about what time to journal every day. Journal at the same time every day. You are building a habit. You want to be consistent. The time you choose to journal dictates your consistency. Consider these three factors when choosing your time. Your typical day: Is there a…
I had no plans of watching this KDrama, but I like the lead actors and was curious about the plot. I am SO GLAD I started watching it. The premise is novel - centred around traveling to and fro work and how it wears one out. I am always awed by how Korean writers can think up such scenarios and plots and give us…
Hoje eu precisei acionar um familiar pra me ajudar com as demandas de um outro familiar. Porque as pessoas resistem tanto à terapia? Muita coisa séria resolvida com um simples sim. Estou bastante desgastada. Ainda bem que minha psicóloga volta hoje. Só alegria! Ainda estou internada e veio um medico especialista em…
Until recently, the idea of relapsing never crossed my mind, and I used to dismiss it as an exaggeration. In my judgmental mindset, I couldn't understand why people couldn't just change for good if they truly wanted to. However, my perspective took a significant turn just a week ago. As I mentioned earlier, I embarked…
i feel like every person with a solid sense of self has "themes" for ex: - outdoor sports, traveling, nature, wanting to discover the world, wanting to have fun (japanese with shun) - environmentalism, human rights activism, politics (some swiss ppl i know) - money, how much money they have, how much more money they…
An alien spaceship lands on Earth. After several failed attempts to communicate, the first contact team's linguist, Louise Banks, brings a whiteboard to the next encounter. She writes "HUMAN" on the whiteboard. The aliens finally respond by projecting strange circular symbols into the air. Afterwards... COLONEL WEBER:…
A friend once told me that her husband hates the phrase ‘diversity in a work place’. I was hooked. No one in today’s woke culture says this openly. Especially a man. This sounds wrong. She told me how hard working he is and feels let down when less deserving women get priority in promotion. This made me think. How do…
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…
I am four days into the new regimen and I am feeling pretty good about the whole thing. I got up at 6:30am this morning to ride Peloton and that is the earliest I have gotten up in 3years by my own volition and not because of travel. I was exited to get to bed last night without a cigar, and to wake up and knock out…
Today, while I was stuck in a traffic jam, I saw a car throw something out the window. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got closer, I realized it was trash—a can of beer. My mind started to explode with questions and thoughts: Why didn’t that person save the trash until they got home to throw it away? Why…
I have spent an obnoxious amount of time asking myself, "what should I do with my life?" Not because there is anything necessarily "to do" or because I have an inherently unsatisfying or distressing life. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I have a cushy, work-from-home, tech-adjacent, golden-handcuffs, kind of job. Me…
My initial foray into technology saw me working for a venture capital firm, where I became indoctrinated with the idea that tech companies must follow a pretty standardised path, raising multiple rounds of funding before a big splashy exit. And for a while, this sounded like something I wanted. More recently though,…
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.
Visualization is a strategy to create a mental image of your success. Daily journaling helps you visualize your success each day. Success in whatever you hope to achieve. It starts with identifying what you want to accomplish. I write a statement of intent. I will spend an hour working on organizing my archived…
wake up early // get active // find solitude 4 am // run + lift // movement meditation ——————————————— "We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope" - Romans 5:3-4
the air seemed void and no one knew why, even the loudest ones got dazed, maybe shy. the girl on the clouds, yet on floor, seemed as if she would outpour any minute her tears, a galloon, those eyes bear. all the elation, all that frenzy, all the fury that made her crazy. why did she hide them, until today? but not…
All human organizations are hierarchical. Decision-making is concentrated near the top of the hierarchy. One can conceptualize the organization as a complex function whose input is information, which flows upward into the decision-making strata of the hierarchy, and whose output is power, which subsequently flows…
....Haha got you! You're welcome to read this even if you're not a swimmer, with the disclaimer that the sentences will meander with almost no meaning and most certainly put you to sleep! However, if you've spent a better part of your childhood training in a 25 or 50 meter pool, some of this may be relatable, so read…
