Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
we started the day with a to-do list of "things we can tolerate doing today plus some things that seem pretty necessary" just items flying out of our mouths - drain, fill, drain, fill, drain, fill water tank - return packages - laundry - replace thermostat and so on and i have done TWO things and now i am taking a…
A great bath feels like a tonic. Two baths in a day, and I bet you will complain about life a little less. Have you also noticed how your mind suddenly calms down near a water body? Listening to the ripples of river water or the rhythmic crashing of sea waves brings a sense of tranquility to our ever-racing minds. I…
A common misinterpretation of Sun Tzu's Art of War is that competition involves 'deception' in the sense of lying, cheating, and manipulation. However, if we considered his work as aiming for peace being the highest form of excellence rather than destroying opponents, it can have a very, very, different meaning. For…
i have been thinking of my design ethos. i find the best way to develop is by listening to mentors. they way the speak. the way the create. the language they present. all have underlying fundamentals which can be adapted to my own thinking. i believe this is how to truly think outside-of-the-box...
And having that “purpose” Like I don’t go to badminton just for another purpose Actually make friends Or be good in badminton Whatever your purpose is You don’t just “go there” Like you WANTED something If nobody is there you also wanted right? That should be the spirit Remember You don’t have to be friends with…
my memories glitch past scenes painstakingly ripped out. sugar we're falling down screaming, "I LOVE WATCHING memoryTV!" oh you again. every time it's the same goddamn movie: my chest swells, autumn smells then you, you disappoint me. 1+1=2 crosslegged i sit in the piles of tangled tapes waist-high. 6:00pm, the cinema…
I woke up this morning trying to crack a problem I'd been thinking about: how can I test if my router supports PPPoE without a PPPoE server on the other end? A bit of googling and I discovered rp-pppoe, a userspace PPPoE server for Linux, written and maintained by Dianne Skoll. "What's the rp for?" I wondered. Roaring…
Consistency is hard, a daily grind, Each day a battle with the wandering mind. Blank pages taunt, the cursor baits. In hopes that habit finds its place. In this struggle, there’s much to learn, - couldn't come up with a line here, too tired - That growth lies not in flawless acts, But in how we respond to our own lax.…
Uma das minhas metas de ano novo é voltar a escrever. Simples assim. Sem nenhuma frequência específica, com tema livre. Apenas com o objetivo de exercitar a mente, organizar os pensamentos e ter pequenos registros dos meus dias. Ainda estou lembrando aos poucos como que eu fazia isso, quais processos mentais eu tinha…
Today was a day with many little frustrations. Nothing worked out the way I hoped for. What frustrated me the most though, was how much this affected my mood negatively. I want to get better at decoupling my mood and view of the world from external factors. Why not just be happy in the moment, no matter what.
What a humbling experience has been this one week. Met some wonderful people and felt the pain of some random people sharing the same space as us on planet earth. All of us have it so different and our needs/ demands are so diverse but when you participate in medical camps as these you realise how privileged you are.…
Here I plant my flag, in words three hundred, Each word is precious, they're exactly numbered; Of course, we could do like the ancient Greeks And write without the spaces -- we'd be freaks! But -- problem solved! We'd have limits no more. The host would think that I'm a writing drunkard -- In which case I'd certainly…
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????
I tend to resist structure as it feels like a slippery slope to conformity. But as more and more of life consists of simply changing tabs or apps on a fixed screen, it's easy to get lost without any sense of beginning or end. We talk about feeling stuck because of our 9-5s, and tout the benefits of blending work and…
In February 2024, I opened an account on 750words.com — a private journal for free-writing, where the goal is simple: write at least 750 words, every day. As I typed, I noticed a short lag between pressing a keyboard key and the letter appearing on screen. The lag was subtle, but erratic enough to start grabbing my…
Both my folks are the least loved, miserly happy kids in their respective families. Both have been at complete agreement to all decisions their parents have made for them. Yet both have terrible personal lives but have made peace with the perils of this life.
Today is my last day studying, and I can't seem to find any motivation at all. After a month of studying, doing 20 past exams, revising and revising, and feeling like there's always more to cover, today—on the most important day when I should be pushing through the last mile—I feel done, Im done (not done that I'm…
People often say running trains the body. For me, it trains the mind. When I first started, I thought it was all about fitness, endurance, calories, pace. But after a few runs, I realized the hardest part wasn’t my lungs or my legs, it was convincing myself to keep going. Every step became a small argument between the…
so i have been very lost in my mental health for the past few weeks, not getting enough meditation in, i bounced back on pornography, my workouts have been inconsistent, i am not studying enough. I feel guilty for not doing enough, always, no matter how much work i do, i just feel that i can get more of it done. I…

Some days, my brain can be a chaos of endless worries and scenarios that give me anxiety. These thoughts can be exhausting, but deep in my heart (very deep inside), I appreciate this aspect of my mind. It probably comes from my survival instinct, a part of me that is trying to anticipate and prepare for any possible…
Something of vanilla, bourbon, and lingering notes of all the versions of you that lived in this cloth. Yesterday, I thought it was over. I'm not quite sure what happened, I must have been too consumed with all of you that I felt within the coat that I didn't even notice the button, second from the top, loosen between…
The comfort zone is a deceptive piece of shit that keeps trying to stop me from having formative experiences. Although I am aware of this, it hits me every time and each time it costs me a great deal of effort to overcome it. The good news is that the comfort zone expands with every new experience, when seeking…
Well, one spends a mind boggling amount of time on the internet. But what makes it worthy are a few worthwhile discoveries, like this place. Quite good to just pen down stuff without any baggage. Recently when I started writing poems which were just what I was observing, feeling and experiencing at the time and…
Barf ka muqaddar hai apne hi paani main pighal jaana.
If you're here on Nicheless and also are trying to figure out how to navigate Mastodon, and are finding it not at all a friction-free process, like me... Help. How does a new user find the smart people in journalism, tech, entertainment, humor -- and, oh yeah, steer clear of the anime pornbot trolls, which I thought…
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…
It has occurred to me several times in the past. I feel like expressing it to a friend of the opposite gender. It is the feeling of polyamory - it is not about just sex, it is about having conversations, it is about being available to listen and share with each other. I felt like calling the friend and asking to meet…
i dust the dirt off myself, as i walk up the course, under the light of the sky, glowing with the stars. i reach the ridge and set my eyes free, to roam from the moon above to the plain lands beneath. the breeze closes my eyes, my hands run through my hair. the book under my elbow gets pleasantly risen in the air i…
Lembre-se que todo minuto dentro da ficção custa tempo da sua vida real. Durma direito. Tome sol pela manhã. Hidrate-se. Faça uma atividade física. Caminhe. Alimente-se melhor. Escolha bem suas companhias. Semeie e cultive bons relacionamentos. Aprecie a lua. Passe mais tempo com quem te aprecia. Saiba lutar pelos…
O último gole de álcool que tomei foi na virada do ano. Prometi começar 2023 aderindo a um detox alcoólico, aqui chamado de "Dry January", campanha que muita gente abraça no começo do ano ao lado do "Veganuary", mas eu achei muita coisa para dar conta e só abracei a primeira. "Beber menos álcool" está sempre nas…
Having had a long period where I had no energy or interest in tinkering with any side-projects, the energy now seems to return. Perhaps it is a reflection of a better state of mind. Perhaps it is a reflection of winter in the Northern hemisphere and hence less daylight, but nevertheless the fact remains that I have…
Ahh powerful moments in history are not the creations of what we make now. it is the evolution of conversation around the creations that dictate what makes history...
I've always been fascinated by things that don't belong together in any context. Monkeys and forget-me-nots. Pencils and wheels. Embers and bubbles. They don't, have not, and will not belong together in any plausible context. I suppose the magic lies in bringing unlikely beings together, a trope I absolutely adore. It…
don’t forget this feeling of elation of free exhilaration riled up and moving shaking with possibility rattling the room if you could just keep the play going forever with no breaks needed you could fill the cup and never doubt again but it’s good to stop to rest the keys off to monday dance to shake your feet and…
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
Following routines are the easiest way to build a new habit. If your new habit is journaling, to reduce the daily struggle by using a format as part of your routine. As a beginner, you don't know your ultimate format. Start with a simple format to increase your chance of consistency. More complex formats can come…
I started out with a writing goal of everyday and I literally forgot the very next day to write a post :( Nevertheless, I'm convincing myself that writing is a skill to be learnt and it happens slowly. So I'm trying not to be hard on myself. Today I want to write about something which I have struggling with this in…
Lately I've been struggling to stay focused. Without missing a beat, the first piece of unsolicited advice I got was to try meditating. Then again. Meditation. Whether you're depressed, distracted, grieving, stressed out, anxious or, well, pretty much anything these days, you can rely on someone nearby who won't shut…
running away is easy. you can run away from problems. you can run away from solutions. you can run away from reality. you can run away from delusion. you can run away from love. you can run away from hate. running away from anything is easy because you're afraid of stopping. you're afraid of stopping one day and…
This is my first post of nicheless, I think the idea for the website is great, and I am happy to be a relatively early adopter. What gets me excited about the platform is the late of likes, reposts etc, and just the ability to get one's thoughts on paper. I'm not sure I would consider myself a writer, but I surely…
Is there anything worse than feeling alone? To believe you are worthless. To envy those who aren't alone. To regret your decisions. To question your very existence. To feel your life passing, surrounded by love and laughter, and yet so far away from achieving it. To write and hope the pain dulls. To invite sleep with…
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…
I had a dream that Kiese Laymon, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Damon Young were hosting a writers' retreat somewhere verdant. It was me, Young, Laymon, Coates, Kenny Smith (of the NBA), and some writers I can't remember right now but we were all Black and saw ourselves as men. One was named Joel, I think. We were in the big…
You’re having a problem staying consistent with your new journaling habit. You just proved you're human. You are one among millions. "Look," my husband points to a man writing in a journal. We are waiting for our flight. "He writes in a journal like you." Except I have not written in my journal today. Journaling is a…
"gonna just put on some classical music and write" never ends well because i will just fully want to listen and not write at all but i can listen to rap and write sometimes
Disclaimer : this might feel like a let down if you were expecting profound insights. Assumption : increased screen time reduces the evolutionary fitness of a person (yes yes that is debatable) Children who have had seizures are advised to restrict their screen time, because flickering lights can induce a seizure…
Why do I need to confirm myself into the system Trying to lie to myself I need to be one of the guys I passed by everyday in the public transportation Remind myself that Theres people who believe in what they do S T Always remind yourself to do important things Once you set your mindset to the goal You’ll align…
