Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
A rule I like to use when deciding how to behave is to imagine myself from another person’s point of view. Would I engage with myself if I saw myself doing that, or being that way? It’s a way to get feedback without needing anybody else, and although not ideal, it’s a good place to start. Recently, I’ve been wanting…
Who are we? What defines us? Who are you looking at when you look in the mirror every day? "To be or not to be" is a quote by Shakespeare that has been reused for decades. Let's talk about "Not to be". We are complex creatures with a nuanced way of social and personal interactions. All these interactions define us.…
twitter isn't what it used to be and too many people i know follow me so i can't be totally candid with my thoughts; i love my physical journal but i think i like a digital space for fleeting thoughts, sometimes the pen to paper feels too permanent. journal is also more of a documentation of time, not as much as an…
here is my first post the entire content is about writing my first post i figure it's the quickest way to start a habit that will last or swiftly end an interest that won't
It's a toxic question. We like to press ourselves with it all the time. We use it to police each other. Diagnose the problem. Administer medication. It's how we like to handle problems. The question points our attention inwards and focuses on the mess we're swirling in. A better question is: What matters to you? This…
We were never taught how to be angry. Wrath was the province of God, and occasionally that of fathers offered insult. That, I think, is how I never noticed it seeping in at slights and kicks until it had long curdled in my marrow.
She's a good girl.
No words can pin down what we call reality, but words too are real
It’s true - believe in the power of attraction Who you mix with take the average of 5 and it’ll become you E - said he’s becoming less ambitious Which is true I think it’s because he’s been working from home Read books and know people That will inflame your fire Like how you mix with G And know Y&and her dad. These…

This day was one of those days that looks like the beginning of the end for remote work. The day started off with our retro. And while there were 10 people in the "room", no one added anything to the virtual retro board. Now frankly, I could give a shit about which rituals we employ to book-end our sprints, whether we…
"He was angry with Jeanie for not having encourage the Laird - He was angry with the Laird for requiring encouragement - and he was angry with himself for being angry with himself for being angry at all on the occasions." -Walter Scott, The Heart of Mid-Lothian Everyone has moments of extreme emotion. It's not healthy…
Walking through the English Garden, eating falafel at Königsplatz, and riding my bike through Munich at sunset, the beauty of the city in summer struck me once again. The warm glow on the streets and the vibrant life around every corner reaffirm why I love this city so much. Feels good to be back.
As I wrote in my last part of Cortex X4 [1], We finally have some news on X5. Quote: which forms part of (ARM CEO) Rene Haas's strategy to "eliminate the performance gap between ARM-designed processors and custom ARM implementations." Moorhead's inside information has "Blackhawk" demonstrating the "largest…
We're already used to interacting with wallets in this manner. But it's wrong to assume that our wallet should be the only key-card that opens all the doors. That's not the version of the future that I want to live in. The one where you flash your black amex at the door to get into the VIP room behind the VIP room.…
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…
Mais um dia em BH. Hoje vou sair de novo, claro, mas assim que vai ser: vou levar meu livro, vou ir no mercado novo, comer um pão de queijo, almoçar por lá mesmo e depois partiu cinema. Vou ficar lá até o final da tarde e depois voltar pra casa. Aí si, si! Tô cansada de andar. Gostoso porém chega. Falando em andar, as…
i think nicheless is the place where i slowly give shape to my becoming of a writer. see, all these years i have struggled to find my authentic voice. i have always found myself impersonating the style of the grandiose writers, philosophers or poets - depending upon whom i read last. there may have been elements of my…
Primeiro: eu assino a news de uma pessoa chamada Lalai Person. Foi por conta dela que eu achei esse nicheless e também revivi a vontade de morar na Alemanha, que parece um país bem quadrado no quesito regras (leva multa de 5 euros se atravessar o sinal fechado e as pessoas não estão sempre correndo na escada rolante,…
Earlier this week, a friend shared the official first song of his son, released in mainstream media. Very deep lyrics for an 18 year old to sing, about grief, death, the transient nature of our lives, before moving to the main theme of gratitude. Listening to it, immediately brought an inner smile to my being. I…
Being an introvert is not often a bad thing, especially in later stages in life. It becomes arduous to find people you can relate to and be comfortable around. It is either because everyone changes from being naive. Or it is because we just happen to interact with a lot more people to which we aren't habituated.…
Do you have a friend who is in a toxic relationship, and as an outsider, you think, "Why the heck are you still there? Isn't it obvious?" Well, I’ve been on both sides of that situation, and it's easier said than done. As an observer, you don't have any feelings attached, so you look at it more rationally. But…
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,…
I love the simple process of journaling. Experimenting with new ideas to enhance the journaling experience keeps the habit fresh and interesting. I’ve tried rearranging my journaling components, using prompts, and adding doodles. I finally settled on the order of components. Prompts and doodling didn’t last. I…
should i or should i not also go for a little run tbh i should not because it's "good" for me though it def is but because i know how good it feels HONESTLY PUTTING ON SHOES IS THE HARD PART. AND THEN IT'S EASY. // what a great run came back and i vacuumed i feel thoroughly warm now i want to drink tea and shower…
Bom, hoje eu tive um encontro com uma pessoa do bumble. Foi num restaurante baiano gostosinho. Comi moqueca de camarão, arroz, pirao, farofa e uma pimentinha da casa maravilhosa. Tudo acompanhado de suco de laranja porque eu não posso beber por conta dos remédios. Entrei no dry january obrigada. Falando em remédio, os…
I don’t want to give a fuck anymore. Not caring about what anyone might think. Just doing what I feel like and showing who I am. Whenever I managed to do that, life positively surprised me. I want this to be my permanent state of mind.
...a place where you get to write just 300 words. Nice. Just capture what's on the mind. A snapshot. First impression: Nice, neat, uncluttered. Reminds me of blank paper on typewriter, minus any other prompts. No random feeds and hashtags, pulls or pressures. What way will this go?
Another favorite Hebrewism, which translates literally to "living in a movie". It is used to indicate to one's interlocutor that he is so bound up in his own narrative that he has lost contact with external reality. It's a refreshing refrain from the inanity of the counter-claim, that reality is in fact socially…
Care is the gravity that holds a group together. It is the practical stuff of hospitality, like preparing for a meeting or cleaning up afterwards. It's also emotional work, like noticing that someone is not having a good time, and checking in with them. Without care, a group falls apart. It’s safe to assume that in…
I got in to a discussion with a friend about some bill that was signed into law in Florida that, depending on your political orientation, either (a) made it illegal to talk about being gay in classrooms, insinuating that anyone who supported it is a homophobic bigot, or (b) was an attempt by concerned parents and…
Wanneer ik lees, blijven mijn ogen steevast hangen in de witruimte van de rechterzijde van het blad. Wat zou er gebeuren als de tekst geen kader had? Op welk punt zouden mijn gedachten fragmenteren wanneer de tekst horizontaal door zou lopen tot aan het laatste woord?
You know you used to think Too much motivational speeches and my adrenaline got pumped up But there would be negative awareness or stimulation from my body to balance it out (biological facts) And I’ll feel demotivated. Because I feel others has already been achieving great things in life. And why should I? But now my…
Monsoon, a season of rains. Its brings with itself a celebration, A season when you feel relaxed just with the sound of pitter patter when it hits the ground. A season of treat to watch peacock dance A season when the air is ripe with the earthy smell which feels so divine. A season that teach the art of letting go…
the most normal taste i have is in music. i'm really into the 1975 right now, but specifically 3 songs: - about you - robber - all i need to hear ("somebody else" is great too but it doesn't fit the vibe of those three songs i just listed that i feel is the best aspect of the band; i basically want to feel like i'm…
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…
Hot pot is like a culinary treasure hunt, with bits of delicious food hidden in a simmering broth, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. The spiciness mimics the pain of digging, making the reward all the more satisfying. Each bite brings both the heat of the broth and the joy of uncovering something new, blending…
AHHH... seeing a similar quote by more than one creator who i admire is like an epiphany. there is hidden meaning within their words that many do not see. "create because it needs to exist" everything else will be erased...
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'm writing this while waiting at the entrance of Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay. I'm here to accompany my uncle for his cancer treatment. This Nicheless post has no purpose. It's just a stream of consciousness from the perspective of a person in an unfamiliar situation. Hospitals are a sobering place to spend time…
Journaling can help you make that change in your life. You can tap into one or more of these five strategies. Knowledge of self Mindset Positive Affirmations Processing Thoughts and Reflection But where do you start? The magic of journaling is it doesn’t matter. Journal what you feel. Ask yourself these questions: Do…
You’re either making it - making change in the world Or you’re just living the game If it’s too heavy; forget about the past and the future - just carry the present The best skilled people knows that skills comes with discomfort; and only by persevering in discomfort you’re able to gain skills The best is actually…
Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else. While the rest of the old Metallica banger Fade to Black doesn't really apply to this post, I wanted to borrow generously from the past kings to start it. In a remote hyperconnected world, it is easy to…
Creativity is such a strange bedfellow. It warms you, sometimes. It guides you, sometimes. It frustrates you, sometimes. It refuses to leave, always. There are plenty of days when I wish that my creativity would take all these disparate parts and bring them together into a cohesive whole. Instead, creativity somehow…
This was it. A day off after several months of parenting, working under pressure, side-hustling, managing the house, and doing all the third shift admin if my life. Finally I get to have some reprieve. A momentary escape. It was planned. I looked forward to it, after arranging for childcare and making a ton of…
“When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom. He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.” 2Samuel 7.12-13. God blesses those who serve and reverence him, as he did David, but he thinks far…
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…
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…
