Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Llegué. Fui recebida por um motorista sorridente. Vi primeiro o céu, que de um amanhecido recente, servia de palco para passarinhos dançantes. Até os prédios, de tão grandes, refletiam o que parece ser normal por essas terras: o calor de gente. Calor de salsa, de sol, de tesão, de pimenta. Calor que nem sei como é que…
I had another heavy conversation with my mom today. I’ve noticed she often has these outpouring sessions ever so periodically where she shares her pain and hurtful past incidents with me. 1. I’ve noticed a lot of repetition in the stories she narrates and I believe these are unresolved issues and conflicts that she…
Hace unas horas leí una frase que me impactó mucho que decía masomenos así: "No te elevas al nivel de tus metas, caes al nivel de tus hábitos" y dándole vueltas me quede impresionado por la poca importancia que le damos a muchos de nuestros hábitos. Si bien llevar una vida con hábitos correctos no es tan complicado,…
India is undoubtedly facing challenging times. This isn't solely due to a specific party, but rather the collective direction we are taking as a nation. Our control has slipped away, replaced by desperation and misguided efforts. The current government's lack of action or passive endorsement of lawbreakers exacerbates…
Two scenarios - a personal one and a professional one, to understand this superpower. Personal Life - think of your latest argument with anyone. Reflect on what led to this being so chaotic in the first place? A core reason might simply be the sheer aggression and need to get your point across. When both the actors in…
Every time I need to tweak something on my work mac, I'm irked by the title of the settings pane. What every computer interface has referred to as "settings", Apple chose to rename "preferences". Settings implies a certain relationship between us and our tools. You set the fuel / air mixture of a carburetor for…
Nowadays, I find myself overthinking what I write because so many eyes are observing. Judgment and fear arise, and I end up not posting at all. Writing for myself has become a liberating experience—I can pour all my thoughts into a post and then continue with my day, feeling relieved and lighter. This hesitation…
I didn’t want anyone to know of my new habit when I first started. What would they think? If my new habit turned out to be a waste of time, I would look silly. They didn't journal, so they wouldn’t understand. I thought that when I started journaling gratitude. I worried about the reaction of others. I soon discovered…
Hj eu queimei a largada na hora de dormir e agora são 00:32 e estou acordada. Fui trabalhar, cheguei em casa, li um pouco e levei as doguinhas para passear. Depois a amg operada pediu pra eu buscar umas coisas pra ela na farmácia. Acabou que não tinha o curativo que ela precisava, só em loja de materiais cirúrgicos.…
nada é tão distante quando o querer prevalece. djavan acertou - sempre acerta - quando disse que "tudo é viável pra quem faz com prazer". aliás tudo nessa musica é um acerto absoluto.
This exercise of mostly for my own benefit. I got into the habit of being negative and critical. Apparently digging yourself out of that hole is harder than the little effort it took to dig a negative hole and have a petty party down there. Here is my first try to climb up 🧗🏻♀️: 1. I'm grateful that my parents…
Is almost the end of the year and FOR SOME UNGODLY reason I was assigned 4 different projects, 1 art, 1 science and 2 history. the history ones I got to do alone but a wasn't as lucky with the other two. The science one SUCKEDDDD so bad. im failing I already know it. Arts easy but still, Why so many projects????
My son eyes aren't teaming properly. They create blurry images. To compensate his brain shuts off his weak eye and overloads his dominant eye. This knock-on effects are reading fatigue, inability to stay focused, etc. We may have scratched this up to ADHD and sought medication. Thankfully, my wife kept pulling the…
Had to just get this one out of the way ASAP to see how it feels. Publishing my thoughts online has been a goal of mine this year (never too late to start on your resolutions, right?), and I’m glad I found this medium to do so. Going to leave all personally identifiable info out for now, until I find a reason to do…
Trick or treat Smell my feet Oh my god I’m so sorry I’ll go wash them right now
Ahhhh ⤴️ the ideas of a physical world are being mediated by images for a digital world. how about reflecting on the digital world through written conceptual ideas?
Good night's sleep, even without the whirlpool and crappy eating. Odd dream: only a snippet of making out with a woman I know to be a lesbian. Got to listen to birdsong over coffee this morning. The birdsong doesn't make me feel as happy as it used to. Time for a break, time for a change. 280720 May 2022
It goes without saying that everything we do, there's reason why we do it. But recently, I'm thinking if I'm doing A, and not doing B, it's not that I have a reason to do A and no reason to do B. This assumes I've thought clearly about what to do and what not to do. But that's wrong. Maybe I haven't given it enough…
Many eloquent words will have been spoken and written around the world today about this tragic day in Liverpool FC's history. Best just to use those of Rodgers and Hammerstein here. When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the…
"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…
When there is pink and gray in a sunset, the pink stands out because of the contrast. On a cloudy day after a sunny one, we might not always appreciate the clouds, but after days of rain, a single cloudy day with no rain feels like a gift. Why can't we enjoy it as it is, feeling fortunate for a cloudy day, which has…
I love Neil Pasricha's approach on 'being happy first'. Be happy first, then your best work will come. It doesn't work the other way.
Leaving a new place that I just knew and that I loved always makes me wonder if I will ever get back there. That thought comes as I depart, as I take the final looks onto the place. My mind seems to need to know if it's like a last and forever goodbye, or if it's more like "I will see you again sometime". Ubud was one…
hard to accept, but a lot of what we believe is placebo. dogmas, rules & ways of living that don't really prove themselves; but don’t hurt either. believing in them isn’t always bad – ease of mind based on false beliefs is ok. but I believe this derives from a societal disease of not practicing scientific skepticism –…
We hadn't formally launched Trilegal yet when my friend Vinay, who was with a law firm in London, called. It was early March 2000. Him: "Have you guys opened for business yet?" Me: "Why do you ask?" Him: "Because I have a deal for you." Me, struggling to hide excitement: "Well yes, then we're open." This was a…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V0rGf9PjzI wow when i play this piece it does not sound so interesting wtf how i guess he's just super into it when i play there are parts that i find boring and i don't try to make them interesting lol THAT'S WHY HE GETS PAID FOR THIS AND I DON'T (that plus technique hahahahaha) i'm…
I have always been anxious when presenting, I even get this increase in body temperature when I answer questions in big classes. But, for some reason I have been feeling comfortable when presenting in class, the groups are small and personalized, there is no pressure from teachers, because for them by doing the task…
We are finding a piece of puzzle to fit in our life and make a picture complete. Each piece you meet here and there does not fit but we try and try and keep trying This vacant position is filled on our own timeline During this entire phase we fall in love with the process of finding because we don't know once the…
Isn't it odd that two words from two different languages sound nearly the same? Does anyone else wonder about the twists and turns in the history of our world that led to such coincidences?
February is the month to show your love to that special person. You know exactly who I'm talking about. The person you depend on. They are always there when you need them. You can’t live without them. Yes. Show yourself some love. Here are four gifts under $40 to consider to brighten your day: 1. Coffee/Milk frother.…
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.
Vi o termo na newsletter da Bárbara e parece ir ao encontro do que me propus ontem. Só escrever. Cheguei em Loppiano na terça-feira e desde então tenho evitado socializar. Voltar pra cá e reencontrar a não completa liberdade e o empenho da vida em comunidade pede alguns dias de costume. Foram dias mais retraída mas…
I was other day randomly thinking about the way we spend our time on weekends. We have around 52 weeks in a year and for most of us it is 2 days off so effectively we have 104 days for ourselves. If we take out effectively 2 hours for our productivity schedule in a day on a weekend, then we have around 208 hours to…
I never cease to wonder which part of us summons ourselves from the great and long distance of eternity, swim through the foggy, thick, kaleidoscope of our dreams only to wake up and wonder about what we're all doing here. Each night, before bed, my 7yo prepares for her nighttime journeys by choosing from among her…
The road behind is lined with trees that are tall enough to puncture clouds and obstruct birds. Some people of the world call it a single-lane road, but most know that it is more a passageway, a corridor through which we're expected to move heavy-duty vehicles with big fat asses through. And you best hope that there…
Covid came and Covid went (well, not really). There was isolation for a long time. Then there was not, as long as you wore masks in private spaces. Shortly after I started going out, I began having these recurrent dreams. I would dream that I entered someplace (the bus, the shopping, whatever) and suddenly notice that…
Just today, I saw a tweet sharing an article I read last year, praising how phenomenal it was. The person who tweeted it had a larger following than mine. Had I shared the same link publicly, it wouldn't have made much of a difference as it did in his case. He will get praised for being well-read, cool, and…
As one travels deeper into the sixth decade of life, and settles into the third decade of a rewarding professional career, the prospect of slowing down seems just not attractive, but is inevitable. There was a time when reading and writing were part of my routine. I don't mean the work that was required of me as a…
How can we know how many people are currently here with us? The artifacts we leave to the world will almost certainly pierce someone's heart at some point in time. Who can know when and how? And who can know how strongly? The other day, I remembered a location in my home town of Boulder, Colorado on the back side of…
My first post here. Exploring So far so good. I <3 nicheless's clean interface 0 bloat.
Few years ago I've started posting on Linkedin. On various subjects. Mostly business, psychology, igaming, gambling, betting and online casinos. It's nice to have a tool with 300 words limit again. LinkedIn have changed, sadly. Good for them and not good for me. I've used it as a microblogging space. Maybe I'll use…
Então, fiquei aqui em casa com a minha dor, fiz uma bolsa de água quente e dormi. Acordei brevemente pra comer salada de beterraba com tomate e farofa de banana, voltei a dormir. Abri o whats e vi que um grupo que eu sou adm estava pipocando, não consegui responder nem ajudar em nada. Voltei a dormir e acordei pro…
Sim, ontem tomei alguns muitos shots de tequila. Vim pro litoral para comemorar a formatura de um amigo querido e passei o dia todo muito tranquila. Fiz saladas com a mãe e tias dele na cozinha, almocei, fui a praia com eles, conversamos, rimos e me senti confortável para beber. Só bebo assim: se 1. Sentir vontade e…
Vcs estão preparados? Eu não estava. Não li o livro (ainda) e não me aprofundei na sinopse. Vi que ganhou prêmios muito legais e muitas pessoas comentando em todas as redes, mas minha resistência para modinhas não me deixou ler o livro (ainda). Sei que parece escroto, mas não posso negar que esse frenesi todo em torno…
When I got my first job, I was happy - not on top of the world - but definitely happy. In my final year, after frantically trying to secure internships, just so I could convert them into a job offer or sitting for every job interview just so that I could get a job, I had finally secured an offer. All those days -…
As small as it is, do as big as it can ever be. Especially the small things. The smallest detail you have to know. You need to know people - know the little details You need to put your best, even if you're booking restaurants, even if you're going out with someone... know the little details GO to the furthest Don't…
Critics are everywhere. No matter what anyone does, how great of an achievement it is, you will have a set of people waiting to belittle them. It is very easy to be a critic. It takes no courage, no effort and no dedication to say — "Told you so they'd fail". There are people out there who literally wait for others to…
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…
