Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Everything you do… have a want in your head. Always want something. rather than resting - or else you feel tired all the time. Be it impressing your colleagues. Or sounding smart. Or getting reputation. Or getting that money. Or getting something Or even as general as wanting to feel productive. And smart. (So that…
(original: 2007 Aug 17) fill in the blank with a word or phrase ... Here we go: 1. My favorite childhood toy was ... jacks. 2. My favorite childhood game was ... red rover. 3. The best movie I ever saw as a kid was ... willy wonka & the chocolate factory. 4. I don't do it much but I enjoy ... bowling. 5. If I could…
Every now and then I see replies about Smartphone like "They are good enough, what more do people want?" And I kept wondering, really? The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be 8.25mm thick. Compare this to iPod touch which was 6.1mm, or even iPad Pro 11" at 5.9mm. I could do a 2.25mm reduction in thickness. And then the…
as current AI tools develop and more people use them. i have noticed subtle consistencies that pop up in stable diffusion. finding the consistencies and adapting them will be the difference from the average user to a unique user. one of the more obvious consistency are poses for portrait images. there are only a few…
A writer doesn't choose to write. That's why they often run from it. Avoid it to the point they'll procrastinate. They'll clean instead of clean (express) the interior of their mind. It's easy to run away from the work. But, a writer is called to do the work, regardless of the outcome. I've heard other writers say,…
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…
I crave something, I get it. I need something, I get it. Someone close to me needs something, they get it from me. It's a beautiful feeling to not have to worry about costs. It's a beautiful feeling to not have to worry about money. This has been my experience for the past few days after making what can be said to be…
I'm an introvert with no sense of how to mingle socially. It becomes incredibly awkward in social settings but not on social virtual settings. This is where I thrive. This is where I talk. This is where I consume. This is home.
Think while do, but do more than think - is what a youthful soul would do Join more events meet more people do not be afraid nobody can bring you down except yourself Energy levels - always want to know the latest updates Not afraid of asking questions Knowing that eventually it will go to you Knowing the latest…
Hello World. There's a few areas in my life that I'd like to grow and evolve. Recently, I've been on a personal development journey on and off for the past two years. I happened to find this site on Twitter a few days ago and I was intrigued. In this chapter of my life, I would like to document my journey along the…
i'm getting in a cycle of - being afraid of running out of books that i'll consider a "favorite" book or a "five-star read" - frantically searching for books while i'm still reading - constantly reading like 4 books at the same time because i don't want my library loan to run out even tho i could easily renew a loan -…
before i left italy, i was perfectly content. now that i've been to indonesia for 2 months, i am so fucking bored back in italy. my life in italy before we left consisted of: - friends (who are now kind of scattered) - books but half the books i was about to read are about tiny north american problems which seem so…
I'm not saying I have OCD and ADHD, but it takes me an hour to walk from my bedroom to my kitchen.
Entrei em um grupo de mulheres maduras que viajam sozinhas. Tem muitas histórias divertidas e inspiradoras ali. Quero muito ir viajar, mas não posso terceirizar o cuidado com meu cãozinho idoso. Aí vi um post de uma mulher na República Tcheca. Ela costumava viajar pelo mundo sozinha, mas agora os pais estão doentes e…
We are all but pawns in someone's game of life. When we have absolutely no control over some things, the only thing we can resort to is to take a deep breath, sit and back and let the future unfold. There is no point putting the heart and mind to strife.
Remember those boxy robots from a couple of decades ago? The ones that spoke to humans and passed witty quips? I remember being so hooked to it that I'd have given an arm for that experience as a kid. Safe to say, we fell rather short in our attempt to make that a reality. We used the language of computers aka logic,…
I recently saw a photo on LinkedIn of someone I met a few years ago. I felt an unexpected resistance to respond, that moment sparked a deeper thought. At any stage of life, you hold a certain view of yourself and often assume that others see you the same way. I call this a self-image snapshot: a frozen perception of…
(original: 12 February 2006) and back east? ... there's a nor'easter & it's nutty. why people love SD's weather! ... it's the middle of february, FCOL! this is what the SD bay looked like across the street from solar turbines. my worries for today? sunscreen, hydration, air conditioning, and focus. yup! focus is hard…
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,…
lately i've felt like time is compressed. or rather, it's malformed. it's not passing normally, is what i'm trying to say, i guess. i'm incredibly busy yet feel like i don't have much to show for it. most of it feels like a constant battle to keep up with gestures at everything it's too much sometimes. most of the…
I genuinely enjoy listening and learning about the person in front of me during conversations. And I want to get better at this. The art of asking the right questions is crucial in this process. It's the easiest way to become more charismatic, as being a great listener and question asker naturally draws people to you.…
All I want is to see action Dreams without action (inactivity) is going to cause anxiety and negative feeling You need energy levels You need mental environment to tell that it’s okay no matter how fled it is You need to know accountability as well, only by doing you’ll be able to get to places you wanted to be Not a…
Sostengo que Tony Robbins le hizo (hace) mucho daño al mundo. Él creó el mundo de los Gurús y en consecuencia, muchos querían ser machos/hembras "alfa". Personalmente, nunca me subí al tren. Yo siempre supe que mi única competencia era yo mismo. Todos los días tenía que hacer algo mejor que ayer. Disciplina le llaman.…
Twitter is different from Instagram and YouTube because Twitter is where politics and journalism live. Journalists construct the world. The media world the rest of us live in. If you influence Twitter, you influence the ink that fills the pages of culture more broadly. TV producers and reporters are listening to what…
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.
Imagine yourself inside one of many sections - zoom the screen - you see small circles of “players” Life is literally a series of choices in a game You feeling anxiety (thinking yourself not doing the right things); And not thinking because you have no one to compare to ie comfort zone But once you know about “there’s…
I love travelling by the Metro. I know Bangalore's Metro isn't as tentacled as Delhi's or as old as the tube (of London) - but by god, I adore the Metro. And this isn't even due to its ridiculous affordability. Stepping inside, you can almost taste the bustle of people hopping from home to work. When i see men and…
I think this is such a good outlook and it's something to catch yourself on. A specific example. I went to see The Batman a few months ago and I've had lots of people ask me what I thought about it. I said that I thought it was good, but I said that I had seen it before. Corrupt cops, a mob that runs the city, good…
Is to do every single little thing right Even if you’re out of time You still use NOW as a start Wake up and it’s a new beginning Put 💯 onto every single task I want you to monitor how you breathe All your action is going to make so many difference So you gotta fortify your mind; put a purpose Rather than feeling the…
perhaps we blog for the same reason we do work/read in coffeeshops we want to feel amongst others even in our solitude i wonder if anyone has ever met anyone in a coffee shop and become best friends
I do not judge. I'm no saint and I've done my share of sins, hence I do not judge. I'm here to help in whatever way you need me to. I cannot tell you what is right or what is wrong or what you should do or what you should've done. I cannot tell you because I do not know myself. But I will do what you need me to do.…
I. Humans began their story on this Earth as brutish, violent, tribal knuckle-draggers, barely distinguishable from their ape relatives. Over thousands of years of gradual genetic and cultural evolution, humanity has marched through history to achieve progressively more peaceful and prosperous societies. We're slowly…
These are the first words I've written in many months. I've been thinking about why this is the case, and part of it might have to do with fear. I'm afraid of not being able to do it well. But there's something more there. I think I'm afraid because I believe I might have some type of cognitive decline. That was…
ایکیگای ۴ محور اصلی دارد. کارهایی که دوست داریم انجام دهیم، کارهایی که در آنها مهارت داریم، کارهایی که از آنها میتوانیم کسب درآمد کنیم و در نهایت کارهایی که جهان به آنها نیاز دارد. از چه کاری هیچ وقت خسته نمیشویم؟ چه مواقعی خیلی خوشحال هستیم؟ هنگام انجام چه کاری گذر زمان را متوجه نمیشویم؟ در گذشته چه کاری ما را سر…
I have ENOUGH money. What I don't have enough of is - happiness fun meaning
exercise & study (like a language) can improve energy levels. No more “I’m tired” mentality. Say “this is hard mode” and this can affect 精神状态 Remove toxicity around you
Os passarinhos cantam e eu tenho tempo de parar, olhar pra cima e procurar a beleza. A lagoa da Pampulha não é um parque com entrada, tipo o Ibirapuera. O restaurante que eu queria comer está fechado, pois está localizado no subsolo do mercado novo e só abre de segunda a sábado. Soube disso porque fui perguntar para…
On a walking tour in Oaxaca, Mexico last year, my local guide said something that struck close to home – “Most homes and businesses in the city aren’t owned by Oaxacans. They’re owned by Americans.” Because of American demand, Oaxacans couldn’t afford to live in the best parts of their own city and were forced to live…
last week, i fell into an argument with jaime who pushed back against my desire to investigate the workings of the orb. “theres no figuring out how it works” they said. “nothing here makes logical sense, nor should it. we just have to trust in the path that this planet is giving us. the orb is an opportunity to…
Every self contains multitudes. It can be helpful to sort these elements of self into defined parts. This can help you conceptualise these competing and contradictory bits of you. One distinction that’s been super helpful to me is the child and parent, the maiden and knight, the experiencer and the agent. Separating…
My boat stands still Soaking in the calm sea; A moment to ponder. -khyati I remember the late morning when I clicked this picture at a jetty near my home. It was about 11 am on a weekday. But the thick cloud cover made it seem like a late evening. Very few people have the privilege to loiter around on a weekday…
Esses dias participei do meu primeiro clube do livro. Antes de falar mais sobre ele, quero explicar o "esses dias". Eu tava num dia péssimo. Péssimo mesmo. Depois de ficar internada, passar por um procedimento com anestesia, voltar pra casa com um monte de remédios que me custaram uma fortuna, tive minha primeira…
I finally jumped onto the startup bandwagon towards the end of 2021 at the time when offices were sending emails to their employees about opening up. It occurred to me then that if I did not do this, then the only choice left to me would be to go back to the corporate world. I decided to start my own corporate world…
In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 US elections, Ed Pilkington of The Guardian suggested that US democracy was failing in five key areas: voter suppression, the structure of the Senate, redistricting, the appointment of judges and of course, the electoral college. There's another structural element that…
I had a tough night. I wasn’t in my bed or house. I was listening out for the baby, who typically wakes up for a bottle in the middle of the night. I knew the five-year-old would be up early. Did I mention I wasn’t in my bed? Don’t misunderstand; I love being available to babysit my granddaughters. The downside is I…
My journey with gratitude grows like wildflowers. It's like a packet of mixed seeds. You don't know what kind until they bloom. My simple gratitude habit bloomed into other complementary characteristics. I’ve often written about how my gratitude practice makes me look for the positive in my life. Something that seems…
Imagine if technology treated our attention as sacred rather than a resource to extract. Imagine if technology was accountable to those affected by it rather than to those who profit from it. Imagine if technology helped us make better choices rather than incubating helplessness in the face of catastrophe. Imagine…
You can be successful by doing things NOW you laze on bed you only "improve" on your lazy skills meanwhile eventhough you are tired and you still push you will get used to it eventually believe in the power of momentum and the power of habits good habits if you just START things will eventually change don't need to…
