Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
It's that time of the year again. The one when folks from the US gather around turkey and a special meal to be thankful for what they have and count their blessings. I say it like that because even though I'm not from there and I don't celebrate those dates, I still keep the idea behind it to put it into practice with…
Do things you think are stupid but other people swear by. Maybe you’re the stupid one. - Nat Eliason I fought the recommendation to journaling. Now I know everyone should. If you want to start small with a journaling habit, start with gratitude. Here are the benefits you can expect. Identifying what you have, allows…
A student made a comment in class about "planting the bomb." His teacher asked what he meant, to which he responded by making fart noises. The teacher reported him to admin, admin called the police, and the police hauled the boy off and detained him for making a bomb threat at school. This is a real story from a…
(original: 14 Jan 2006) Welcome to my relocation rants & raves! Hello! FIRST TIME BLOGGER and BUSINESS OWNER ... This is my first blog mainly for those interested in my relocation planning and activities from San Diego to the Bay Area. (And I'm sure it will contribute to my tendency to procrastinate and provide an…
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…
Do you know what is the most common definition of nature? "Nature is the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations." A very egoistic and relative definition if you ask me. How about…
AHH i admire creators who strive to break the box they are placed in by society. a few will break outside of that it, and when they do it is worth more to society. they are the ones who change society for the better. so why does society put creators inside of a box? i imagine limitless creation. forever expanding.…
"Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?" my friend said he'd been wanting to read clarice lispector because he'd seen some of her quotes floating around and he'd enjoyed them i like that...using quotes like ice cream samples
After mulling it over for a couple of weeks, I made the change. I gave writers the option of adding a single image at the start of every Nicheless post. I'm not confident that it's the right move, but I'm eager to find out. If you're a writer here, I owe you an explanation. That's what this post is for. Firstly, let…
i feel energetically a little STUCK do i: - do more yoga - get the package - read - write - eat - watch youtube (this seems almost certainly like a bad idea bc i am so annoyed with booktube people but i am curious about just one little video...) ? i'm hungry. fuck. my body has decided. i guess i'll eat leftover…
It's Thursday, 26 December. I'm hunkering down at home after yesterday's Christmas gathering, intending to complete my GTD Mind Sweep by the end of the weekend, if not tomorrow. THE IMAGE On Tuesday, 19 November, I rekindled my end of year mind sweep, while at my fave nearby coffeehouse, Cafe 4 -…
i remember going to war once. the air smelled of burnt flowers and chemical dreams. the ghosts of my past made a mountain of bodies besides a wrecked house. inside, my mother was wiping off her tears as she made my favorite breakfast. father was dreaming of his aged self. you're on your own, soldier. just a few more…
Minha Doguinha, que eu chamo eventualmente de gordita, mas também de carinho, amorzão, butijaozinho, marronzinha, bananinha, galinho de briga, saco sem fundo, gulosinha, entre vários outros nomes carinhosos (ela atende todos), está dormindo pesadamente do meu lado. São duas da manhã e tô acordada pq despertei com ela…
The problem with being an expert on Twitter is that there's no obligation to back your claims up with any real world experience. The fact that you can regurgitate other peoples ideas with little to no consequence means that, over time, people on twitter drift towards more talk, and less walk. I can't believe I'm…
If you’re starting a journaling habit, there’s no reason to write deep thoughts. You need to concentrate on the habit you’re creating. You want to be consistent at the same time each day. It doesn’t even matter what you are journaling. It matters that you are journaling. Making your journaling habit easy to complete…
I try to begin each day with a clear mind by avoiding my phone, the internet, and anything else that could be a distraction. Sleeping through the night acts as a reset, clearing out the mental clutter that accumulated during the previous day. I strive to maintain this clarity and keep my mind as noise-free as possible…
No matter your choice of activities, you can be learning. You intentionally choose to participate in some activities to increase your knowledge. Having an in-depth conversation Reading to learn (vs. reading for pleasure) Watching a how-to video. Your purpose in choosing other activities is downtime. A vacation…
Phone service, internet, electricity, hot water and all these things that are used to, that we use everyday, the change of not having them from one day to another is drastic. Yesterday, a huge storm approached and I hasn’t stopped since then, it took all of those things away from my house, it was 1 am and in my mind I…
The lenses we use to view events in our lives can greatly affect our perception of those events. I'm sure you've seen pictures of galaxies, with their magnificent colors and shapes. The naked eye will only see a black space because it is only capable of seeing visible light. But with the right set of tools, you can…
I wasn't receiving any emails for days. I had been too busy to really question why, even though I was expecting responses from various outreaches. The issue became clear when I needed a verification code for a signup and it didn't come through. I sent myself a test email - nothing. Total panic set in thinking about…
This is obviously a very easy answer. I will be on my phone. If I happen to have my ear buds with me, I would use them to listen to an audiobook or a podcast. If I didn't have my earbuds or I needed to hear what is going on around me, I would prefer to read some book in my phone's kindle app. Else I would be scrolling…
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????
Voltei pra minha casa. Estava com saudades daqui, do meu namorado, das minhas cachorras. Zero saudades da rigidez, do nervosismo, da ansiedade e aflição ligada a arrumação da casa. Amanhã, continuo de férias do trabalho formal, mas trabalharei aqui lavando paredes, o vaso sanitário, o box. Vou tirar o pó das estantes,…
I have a friend who always responds with "tired" or "stressed" whenever I ask how she is. It's been five years, and 90% of the time, those are her answers. Yesterday, at a party, she was tired, and after they sang happy birthday, she was in a rush to leave. I asked her to stay a bit longer so we could hang out, but…
that notices the return of the swallows, or is worried when they're late.
A friend shared - It costs me up to 3-4 hours/day for this writing effort. My friend is consistently writing on a daily basis in the "build in public" approach. She is using a platform where that makes it so fun to do so with templates, drafts, and queues. And it is truly energizing for me to know writing daily brings…
Our friends say they’ve experienced a lot of goodbyes and they used to not bother even saying hello until they learned that there’s a possibility you see each other again and that possibility makes the hello and intermittent goodbyes worthwhile. But there are many people I miss who I will never see again. The feeling…
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…
I recently started playing Dungeons & Dragons again after about 25 years. I used to play it as a kid, but now that I’ve picked it up again as adult, I’m with the idea that you can sit around and talk, yet this structured, elaborate immersive experience unfolds. Now we have a regular tuesday game online, and a one or…
As a man, a husband, in my forties, who has moved more than 5 times in my life and had to get a new collection of local friends, one piece of advice I wish I could give myself is: never is an opportunity to "get real" with someone. When folks ask: "how's it going?" the reflex is to keep the response as shallow as…
Emerson wrote, “It is a great terror to be known.” We are terribly scared of the only thing that we want the most. Mostly because we don’t know what looking within is like. Most of us forget ourselves. Most of us never remember to walk to ourselves. We are enormously afraid of knowing our own self. Its easier to never…
This quote is famously attributed to Dom Pérignon, a Monk from the Champagne region of France, who in the 17th century spent a significant part of his life perfecting the drink that we now know as Champagne or Sparkling Wine. On a recent flight, flying 35,000 feet above earth at 600 miles an hour and sipping…
I would have never discovered wonders of a co-working space, had I not started on my own. The hunt for my own office space made me look for options beyond traditional spaces. The real estate in Mumbai is so expensive that anyone with limited finance has no choice but to be imaginative. The pictures of spaces, within…
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,…
Que cidade maravilhosa A minha preferida do Brasil até o momento. Comi bem, dancei bem, passeei muito. E aqui vai uma lista generalista do que pude observar em 10 dias - faz muito calor. Mesmo assim, as mulheres priorizam o cabelo grande. Aliás, elas são muito bem arrumadas, vaidosas e cheirosas - chove todo dia - da…
Okay, it's 2022 and i'm 45 y/o and i still don't know what i want to do with my life. I wonder if surviving and not to be a burden is good enough goals.
It hit me today. The realization didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. (Like some people would say.) But it did arrive to my conscious awareness. What am I talking about? Well, the fact that people don't do that of taking time and space out of their mundane routine. Like what I can write in the following paragraphs can…
Is knowing that whatever you do is truly your own fault and accountability Whatever your life will turn out to be is purely based on you and you ONLY 保持清醒 Your own decisions to do whatever is purely based on you Just take a simple example You could’ve been early so manny times That nobody forces you to be late But…
It’s funny how many arguments are essentially semantics and can be made into total nonsense if you play taboo. Another big category seems to be essentially arguing about various axes of morality. “You hate the rich and yet you drive an SUV which is bad for the environment? sus!” But these are two different axes. You…
Do you rest by moving to territory that isn’t challenging you? Sit on the couch so you’re not physically challenged, eat familiar foods so you’re not sensory challenging, binge netflix so that you’re not mentally challenged. Or do you rest by expanding the comfortable territory until it contains where your current…
Know the workings of the system. Think about - deep dive into internal work on yourself. People leave you again and again and again. Is it your immaturity to actually think it’s their fault? It’s so normal for people to leave for their own goods. You must be mature if you don’t have the power or influence on their…
The world is changing too fast. I'm not sure what the turning point was, but I went from thinking of people as old school, to realising that I'm finding it hard to keep up with the times. Social media is a constant reminder of this. A few years ago, I consoled myself that it was ok to stay off the gram as the negative…
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…
People don’t like getting sick, but I do. Getting something like the cold has several stages. First, there’s the feeling that it’s coming. Then you’re actually sick—the low point. After a while, you start getting better. It’s the getting better part that makes me like getting sick. Why is it enjoyable, exactly? You…
The day your parents come Is the day you test your emotional intelligence Remember it’s not always what you want It’s doing what THEY WANT Give it all up and relax for these 3 days 说话温柔体贴… ———— You used to always feeling not confident Is the result of your 4 years experience in uni You have your decision to choose You…
As far as I can understand, it's drawing out similarities in two dissimilar things, to further clarify certain things or make things even more comprehendible. Comparing two unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect. It's always recommended to talk in compare and contrast terms. Because we tend to…
Karena merupakan hal paling rasional untuk dilakukan, jika menggunakan sistem keuangan saat ini. Yang dikenal dengan istilah "FIAT currency". Uang fiat adalah mata uang keluaran pemerintah yang tidak didukung oleh komoditas fisik, seperti emas atau perak. Salah satu kekurangan uang fiat adalah inflasi. Bank Indonesia…
In every task you do, know that no one owes you anything. The reviewer doesn't owe being nice to you. Your customer doesn't owe it to be nice to you. Once you click 'Submit' or press 'Send', your work is not only 'yours'. It is open to the world. So, let it be. Let go. You'll be surprised by the results in the longer…
