Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Started playing Dungeons & Dragons again and Im easing back into being a dungeon master, something I enjoyed as a child. There are two big challenges: Preparation time and wielding narrative tension The reality of playing DnD as an adult is that time is scarce. And preping for a game as a Dungeon master takes up a lot…
Yesterday in a class on human breast milk we discussed how it is considered a living tissue by some, because the breast milk contains living cells too. Many of these cells come from the gut associated lymphoid tissue(GALT), is what one of our professors said. And surely that led me to the next possible question, what…
It is vitally important that you understand this one thing. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must stop chasing them. Here’s why. In nature, things that are chased run. Think about it. What would your instincts tell you to do if someone started running toward you? Run. Be it from them or with them. It’s in our…
I had downloaded the book on the formation of Trilegal early June and finally finished it on June 25th, 2026. The acknowledgements lead me to this website. What a delight! I had met Sawant Singh during a due diligence that Standard Chartered was conducting for the acquisition of the NPA portfolio of IFCI Bank. About…
made coffee at 2am again not because i needed energy just wanted to feel like the main character for five minutes
Hoje é aniversário do meu pai, um mineiro de natureza simples, falante como eu, dono de uma memória invejável e do maior sorriso que conheço. Está fazendo 83 anos. Tem saúde invejável mantida com caminhadas regulares de 7km e muito dedo de prosa com quem cruzar com ele pelo caminho. Tem 1,55m, uma pequena saliência na…
I tried to nap twice today but my mind was racing too much.
In my dream I was suddenly transported back to a very specific moment in high school: it was on a Saturday during the lunch break at my drawing class all the way on the opposite end of the city. The noodles I slurped from that 24hr Lawson were chewy, but that wasn’t where my attention lay. I was ecstatic about dating…
I was in Italy for a week and just got back to Cambridge, UK. Arriving at the train station and driving through the city to my apartment in an Uber was a nice experience. A city I visited for the first time only three months ago, which felt so foreign back then, now feels so familiar. I recognize the routes, can…
Because you been with too many toxic friends/relationships And they literally took your heart out You been putting in too many emotions you didn’t take care of yourself And that’s why now you don’t long for love or relationships You are a highly aware human being Not sure whether external therapy works for you but…
If you want to be 健谈; you just gotta try to use your brain Before meeting — think what’s going to talk about; put effort and interest into it & technically just don’t be lazy. For example if you’re going to a badminton session. Everyone should be interested in badminton. You can search from rackets, shoes, badminton…
Feel the pain. Look for the silver lining. Feed a distraction. Journal the thoughts. Blame not yourself. Think of the other times you’ve gotten over things. This too shall pass.
Social media in its various forms have brought about a huge change in our economy. The first thing we check when we get up is our phone. It's about time we realise that the content we see on social media sets the day for us. And one easy way to hack our mood for the day is to audit the content we see on social media.…
Alternate title: Plan ahead to stand a chance against the monkey mind. The whole premise of this post is this. You're going to talk yourself out of many things that you need or have to do. For situations like that you should have a plan beforehand and systems in place. The most recent example I can give is me going to…
Yesterday, while at the grocery, a teenage stocker complimented my glasses. It tickled me. She looked at me with her bright young face and told me my glasses were cute. of course, they sit on a 65-year-old face. Then we talked about choosing new frames. The exchange was gratitude worthy, but it isn't in my journal. I…
I'd like to sell 1000 copies of a self-published book this year. It's a side project, the book isn't written yet and I have no idea how to market it. There are a million ways to fuck this up. Fauzia Burke wrote a book in 2016 about online marketing for busy authors. She suggested figuring out your personal brand,…
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…
Hello Everybody 👋, I am Shubham and I am new to this new platform and with its first impression, I loved the look and feel of it ! I have always liked nicheless blogging because when you are interested in lot of things and want to say a lot we spend more time categorizing rather than actually telling the story. Going…
Have you thought of how bad you wanted this all to be? You went to the MRT and actually despise people who conforms Like you have to skip and wait for the next train Because the train is actually full Full of people you don’t want to be in Don’t want to mix and squeeze with them 80% of the fucking population Hated…
In my course Introduction to Design Project our main project is to make a lamp, do the ideation, 3d modeling, 3d printing and the electrical assembly of the final product. This course lasts for about 2 months and already in the 2nd week we already have to have some ideas of the concepts and lamps that we want to do.…
I got early access to Post.News last night. The platform is still in infancy like this platform. Because there is an "everyone" feed by default, the product concept of finding/sharing critical news and supporting quality journalism or creators is falling thru the cracks. But, it is supposed to be a social platform at…
In honor of my birthday today, I'm giving you a gift. I’m sharing the knowledge I've gained in 65 years around the sun. Regardless of your age, you wll benefit from the lessons I've learned. Sunscreen. Lesson: I grew up in the baby oil sunbathing era. You can spend your money on sunscreen or frequent dermatologist…
To quote John Biggs: "Ok now what." Seriously though, I like this vast empty space with just a black text thing. Good stuff.
Superman, raised in small-town struggles, would not just listen; he would rise. In development, he would embody the kind of thinker who believes that change begins by confronting power itself. His approach reflects the spirit of critical development theory, where progress is not only about growth but about questioning…
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 beg myself to do the hard level things. Being disciplined is hard. Time is limited - I should be doing outside the box thing. It shouldn’t be hard; I’m only in a small Construction firm in a small country. Should not be limited to the small arduos tasks here. There’s still so much more to life: there’s CEO. There’s…
When studying something Im not particularly a fan of I just eat, not because of hunger, but because of the necessity to stay awake. This happens even if I try all the tips and tricks from studying with other people, taking breaks, sitting in the right positions, making it interactive... my eyes just close. Starting to…
i don't have an answer to WHY but i know that they do (i say "they" even though i'm american because i do not suffer from this ailment) HOW I KNOW THEY HATE THEMSELVES: they are so obsessed with being the best at everything that they do not afford themselves the luxury of simply enjoying themselves, because they do…
tradition, convention, protocol; these are tools to control and manipulate groups of people. rules are meant to enforce behaviour that is largely not natural. you basically momentarily pretend that you care, but mostly you don't. it's liberating to be able to live without having to pretend. you pretend to comply,…
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.
You should say something that’s secretive That has a chapter 2 To hold conversations Is not to speak whatever’s on your mind But to pull others head towards your “mysterious and many other missing details” stories. To hold converse is to leading the words on Not spilling everything out cos some people might not be…
and who teach me how to love things i met a girl who loves to cook and garden and by hanging out with her, or maybe by cooking with her, i grew to LOVE cooking and just hearing her talk about gardening made me love gardening more i had a friend in hs who was an Arts & Culture Self-Guided Exploration Master and she…
a few days back,an old friend of mine had lost his wife, watching him made me feel the deep pain that greif holds. Yet, i believe it is a beautiful thing and it shows the purity of ones love, so i wrote this short story. Back in the day, in the town of Jasilam, there was a man named Kabir. He was known for his…
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
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…
Recently, the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi lambasted what he called 'revdi' culture at a public event. He was referring to the political practice of enticing voters - especially the poorer and lesser educated variety - with material goods in exchange for votes (revdi refers to a food item). For anyone who is…
For a long time now I have had an idea in my mind that seemed almost impossible. Poetic in execution and artistic value, one where an echo may only speak the last thing it hears. It's a satisfying feeling to find the right person, now making the idea more possible. The future looks bright for this idea to flourish...
Recentemente eu comecei a ler o livro "Fazer justiça" de uma francesa um ano mais velha do que eu chamada Elza Marsault. Bem, ela faz algumas críticas que eu considero muito pertinentes à militância do jeito que ela é hoje, e eu vou destacar um trecho da primeira parte dessa leitura que eu fiz aqui. "Essa vigilância…
Sometimes, I find myself self-critical over my apparent lack of focus, worrying that my broad range of interests doesn't get me anywhere. "Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev has helped me see the value in my widespread curiosity. The book highlights that exposure to diverse experiences is not just beneficial but…
If you're observant of how you live, it is easy to realize that most of us live on autopilot. We're usually getting by every day, figuring stuff out on our own. On most days, it is rewarding to be self-sufficient. However, the more isolated lives we lead, the more difficult it is to know when to seek help from…
https://youtu.be/fhDVVfELsM?si=1Cc6Bb8KnMDZCyx dude what if we reincarnate over and over listening to the same songs in different styles.
Listen to more podcast. W.o.w just Be more accepting. The charismatic people are usually competent - but doesn’t necessarily means JUST smart. It means knowing the stuff but knowing how to convey as well. It’s good to have the ability to stop 🛑 1. 2. 3. But within these 3 seconds you’re actually buying time 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…
- tao lin - ocean vuong - sheila heti - jordan castro but ocean vuong is kind of the king of this because he talks with this level of clarity IRL
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 been following the progress of a cyclist, as he attempts to ride over 2211 miles (3559km) in seven days. It's all in an effort to break a world record for the longest distance cycled in 7 days. He's a local chap and I follow him, Leigh Timmis is his name, mostly because I designed his website. I also built the…

Know the cards if you want to play the game Then you won’t feel anxious or feeling that the world is against you Know that the world won’t be pretty with people First important skills: learn how to deal with different people And what…
some of the first things that i want to read now, before i really start reading a book, is the "about the author" section and i've noticed that it is usually like - birth year - birth place - current place of residence and it's like: why? why is this the info they choose to share? and when talking about artists of any…
