Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Hoje eu recebi meu salário. Adoro ser CLT. Antes disso, há alguns dias, recebi o valor referente às minhas férias. Paguei contas minhas, da minha mãe. Adiantei o valor do caixa do casal de março e vou adiantar a parcela da pós também do mês que vem para este. Paguei o outro caixinha, paguei aluguel, condomínio, gás,…
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no…
I'm no more on a streak. Couldn't write yesterday. Nevertheless, the 30-essay series still continues. Today I am writing about productivity - a topic that is beaten to death a million times, every day, day after day. Well, this one is a different. I'm not selling a "I-know-it-all-shoving-it-down-your-throat"…
a força, o ritmo, a vontade, o prazer, a audácia, o cuidado, a potência, o tremor, a umidade com que usas a língua (portuguesa, é claro)
June 26, 2013. Jerry Seinfeld sits for an interview with Howard Stern. Stern asks about his routine - how Jerry constantly observes, constantly hunts for material, constantly thinks about comedy. Jerry gave an answer. Fuming with surprise, Howard Stern was like - "That's being at work 24 hours a day," Stern says.…
do you ever feel that scientists are paid to investigate some pretty obvious things and that society as a whole is interested in very uninteresting things? i want to know about how human language got invented. not any specific language, but the concept of language itself. and how, if the language families don't have a…
did you close your eyes? i miss the old you i know people change but you didn't have to why did you leave? cant you see? it's tearing all apart come back, please i will always wait i will always pray i will try to not lose hope i will love you through our storm
É meu primeiro dia de volta ao trabalho depois da cirurgia que abriu minha barriga em três lugares. O céu chora compulsivamente em SP ilustrando bem meu estado de espírito. Eu quero muito ganhar na loteria para não ter que trabalhar. Passaria o dia inteiro pintando, fazendo cursos, cantando e dançando nua e aprendendo…
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…
The factual background of this book is already striking. Padma and Lalli, two lower-middle class teenage girls, go missing from their unremarkable Western UP village in the summer of 2014. They are found hanging from a mango tree. Their family refuses to allow the bodies to be brought down till justice is done. Sonia…
Sometimes, we hesitate to uncover why we love certain things, fearing that understanding the reasons might lessen our enjoyment. But in reality, it’s not just about liking that particular thing—it’s about how it connects with our identity. Having “our thing” gives us comfort and a sense of self. Identifying the why…
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…
Fear of the future Fear of the past Never living Meaning Love Regret Always hoping Fear of losing Fear of the unknown
There were few mass shootings in the US over last couple of days and this got me thinking what could be the root causes of such a hideous act of crime. The incidents were given different names such as - gun violence, hate crime, domestic terrorism, white supremist attack etc. based on which media outlet you consume…
To think positively Making the best out of any situation Think even you think about leaving a job E would probably be rational - get better job and income before thinking of actually having no income To think of so many things - and telling people that why do you want to get a job you hate after getting all that…
It is difficult to think where you’ll be at any point in the future. Things don’t always go to plan. So, what is the point of setting goals? On our default path (ie. 9 to 5 job - thanks Paul Millerd) we are asked to make targets or objectives relative to what we know today. What we think we’ll want to tomorrow. But we…
Então, tirei os sisos, tudo certo, pontos sequinhos na medida do possível e tudo cicatrizado. Até que: AFITAS. Que coisa horrorosa. Três protuberâncias me causam tanto transtorno que eu sinceramente estou com vontade de morrer. Dor aguda e constante, tonturas, ardência, sensibilidades... Coisa horrenda. E sim, estou…
I‘m thankful for all the beautiful people I have in my life. I‘m grateful for all the amazing experiences I have made so far. I love being me. I truly appreciate all of this.
I. Best-case scenario Donald Trump is elected president in November. An Iranian proxy, whether Houthi, Hezbollah, or Iraqi Shi'ite militia, attacks an American naval vessel in the Persian Gulf. Trump orders a brutal retaliation that decimates the Iranian oil industry in Bandar Abbas. Iran, humiliated, pulls back its…
3. writing -- i have so many things to say and no one to say them to, so i write. i say i have no one to talk to not because i literally have no friends or acquaintances but because when talking, one needs to consider the interests of one's conversation partner, and it is exhausting to limit oneself to topics which…
"The Earth’s population at the time of the Rio summit?” 5.5 billion. And now? 8+ billion. - Its 30 years since the first Earth Summit in Rio - “The best time to plant that tree was 30 years ago” - “The next best time is today” looks at the gain vs the gap. Are we further ahead than we might have been? - Can fashion…
There are many things you automatically do better at, if done a second time. For me, when writing a piece of software, I get it all wrong the first time. It may work, but I can see how the code could be written in a cleaner and more effective way. If I get the chance to do it over, the result is better, and it doesn’t…
I stumbled upon this platform and became curious. Will restriction generate creativity? I believe it will, but I will have to see. Observe the changes. Useless until proven useful. But... I expect external things to provide me with inspirtaion for writing. I don't hold my own procrastination and insecurities…
Im normally used to have a routine that is very stable, not much going on, but this past 2 weeks have been very intense for me, from events, meeting people, moving and figuring out this this country I have been picking up very bad habits cause I have so many things I want and need to fit in my schedule. Now I realize…
I was thinking whether or not I should write this post. The reason I didn't want to is simply because my opinion on this does not matter at all. The reason I did want to write this is that it can throw some light on my thought process which applies to other things in life. I'd say I'm quite pro-Elon. Simply because…
então, eu posso ter demorado imensamente, mas voltei! e só finalizo esse blog quando atingir 365 posts. ontem eu assisti incompatível com a vida e chorei... chorei por ter me visto me despedindo, cantando, dançando, gritando, desguando sobretudo. pode sair, tá tudo bem. também pandemia. também ecos. também vômitos de…
reflect & manifest reverb23 in january adapts the reverb10 event shared about in this post - https://nicheless.blog/post/before-%7C-reverb-in-december-20 "... online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next ... an opportunity to reflect on what's happened, and to send out reverberations for the year…
I've always had a predilicition for writing. While others had debating & mooting in law school, i had writing. Be it formal boorish academic writing or bouncy ridiculous writing. Nicheless perhaps seems ideal owing to its limited word limit which places less onus on me to produce a grand blog piece with characters, an…
Ahhh my moment of peak conscious occurs frequently before my eyes fall asleep. at that moment there is a choice; do i record that moment/idea or loose it...
During my meditation practice today, I had a realization that has left me feeling both elated and bewildered. For the first time, I understood that the boundary between myself and the external world may not actually exist. In our everyday lives, we tend to view the world as something separate from ourselves. We see…
Next time… a promise that was never fulfilled. As a kid, whenever I ask my mom for something she’d say “maybe next time?” Or whenever i ask if we can play a game together “next time?” I didn’t think much of it snd always hold onto that “next time” Now turning 16, I realised it was just empty promises. It was just a…
Sometimes it doesn’t matter about the delivery (at first). Of course it matters but - what you started or initiated is much more interesting and useful/you’re supposed to live it that way. Imagine the scenario which you had in your head for quite a few times: You rather not do something because you’re afraid of making…
ahh "an artwork is a pure idea attached to an existing rationale. an artwork for the art world is any idea attached to an invoice." quote by Virgil Abloh. the above quote resonates with me recently because the conversation around NFT art can easily fit into the category of any idea attached to an invoice. yet there…
Had such an amazing and cathartic session with Omar. 1. We looked back at and appreciated the journey I've been on this year. 2. He gave me the external validation I needed - what I felt was real. My pain was real. What I went through was indeed emotional abuse. Omar said that abusive people need to do a lot of work…
https://winnielim.org/journal/where-i-can-take-off-my-mask/ This one feels so like my life except I didn't have that social medium to share things up until now. Really thinking of making this place my own. Hope I can stay consistent with it.
Managing money is hard for a couple of reasons. Firstly, most of us don't understand what money is and how it works. We don't really understand why pieces of paper have value - many of us still think it's backed by gold. We also don't understand why a random piece of metal aka gold is so precious. We don't understand…
I have stepped foot on the hamster wheel, constantly running, keeping things in motion—the act of creation and destruction. In my case, my online persona. Just now, I discovered this blogging site, on my umpteenth attempt to write some sorry excuse of a blog which I will be deleting once again, just like the others I…
Kebahagiaan adalah merasa puas dengan apa yang kamu miliki. Kesuksesan datang dari ketidakpuasan. Kebahagiaan tidak muncul setelah mendapatkan kesuksesan, karena sesungguhnya kita bisa memilih untuk bahagia kapan pun. "Aku akan sukses jika memiliki X." "Sukses adalah ketika aku mendapat gaji sebesar X." Pernyataan…
As a baby your nervous system isn't fully developed yet. When you feel stress, you need touch. Real touch, soft, slow, friendly, safe touch. You're held by a caring being much larger and stronger than you. The gentle motion and smiling face is comforting to you. You feel the stress ebbing away. As you grow older and…
Keeping a gratitude journal changed me from a non-believer to a believer. Gratitude became a habit - an essential part of my morning routine. I was always optimistic, but I started feeling happier. I developed a mindset of gratitude. Gratitude made me look for the good in my life. Looking for good led me to…
I understand they happen to be there because it's cheaper and simpler, but what a tasteless and generic place to put them. Lighting can be beautiful if you set the sources gracefully. Indirect lighting can make a magic atmosphere and functional lightning can be a great tool depending on your goals. But "one light bulb…
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…
After all this time,I still keep falling for you.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the premiere for ‘Ola: Health is Everything,’ my first feature documentary. I remember that night at the Hawai‘i International Film Festival vividly; the sold out theater, the crush of the crowd after the credits rolled, the inescapable feeling that lightning had struck. It’s…
While the beginning of the year was all about writing, the last few months have shifted to making musical devices again. I kind of abandoned my story after a few months of work. It’s not totally gone though. I still have ideas brewing and I will finish it one day! Right now though I am happy to be making things again…
pulled the thread of despair i took to bed last night, the "why bother?" that hovered, unbidden, writing roadblock 97, the one that combines worthiness with approval, the one that questions whether anyone reads anymore, if the world needs another cooking story, the one that tells me i can't for so many reasons. pulled…
What does a businessman or an entrepreneur do? If one is to take up the definition in trend, a person who identifies problems, make and sells solutions to people, and risk whatever he has in that pursuit is called a businessman or entrepreneur. Who else risk it all in pursuit of something? A stupid person. So to…
Flashes of creativity appear in the blank spaces on my calendar. In the shower. On a walk. While driving. They seem to bubble up from my subconscious without any prodding. And the more I look for them, the less they appear. They usually aren't original thoughts. Instead, they're mixtures of ideas from elsewhere.…
