Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
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…
I tried my hand at cold emailing for the first time in November last year. I was greatly inspired by Shatakashi, GGI and her noble cause to provide quality Business and Policy education to young adults. I reached out to her mentioning how her content on LinkedIn helped me gain a lot of perspective and expressed my…
There have been times when I've been told "good job" and it has made me uncomfortable. You'd expect "good job" to be encouraging. I did too. Except, it felt condescending and I never understood why. Until I came across Adlerian psychology and the difference between horizontal and vertical relationships. For the sake…
"What do you think about the Rolex Daytona?", asked my friend. "It's great but I am an Omega person", I replied. "The model in the new 007 movie is truly a piece of art". "It sure is. What do you think about the grey Tom Ford suit Daniel Craig wore in the movie?", I asked. "I think the blue one was better. You should…
.. or public writings for myself? Who knows what this will evolve into, but it seems at first glance to be a natural step forward from using The Most Dangerous Writing App to get my thoughts out on paper, back when I was a teenager. Personally I have always felt the struggle of wanting to be in a community, to share…
This is a tentative method but I’m trying to see how accurate of an impression you can get from an author by just reading their quotes (not life quotes just quotes from the œuvre) — is it like blood sampling, gelato sampling? Is there an emergent property on the level of the paragraph? The level of the chapter? Then…
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
trocar de contabilidade, agência de publicidade e etc... parece terminar um relacionamento e começar outro. Dá um nervoso terminar
Are you struggling with a habit? Look at your materials and tools. Your materials and tools can inspire you to show up every day. Showing up every day makes a habit. This idea works. I first noticed this with my husband's hobby. My husband is a stereo fanatic. We don't have the same tastes in music. As he perfected…
This space is to explore my views and get to know myself better. Currently I am experiencing a lot of pressure on myself because I have very high expectations out of myself. I want to be in control of my thoughts and better understand my feelings. I want to do many things but I need to realise I can't do everything at…
eu odeio aulas com dois professores. acabo numa espiral de comparação e, via de regra, um professor é MUITO melhor que o outro, sim. infelizmente. tenho ficado mt irritada com pessoas que viram mães e de repente as pessoas que não querem ser mães viram "egoistas radicais". sem paciência total! você não virou alecrim…
Tons of people Tons of things to do Tons of places With all this, I just go into a very extrovert personality to protect myself
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…
One of the most vivid memories I have, of witnessing violence in cinema comes from a Malayalam film called 'Karumadi Kuttan' where the mentally disabled male protagonist is being physically abused by a bunch of goons to the point of him being stripped in public, laughed at, hit-all because the protagonist was trying…
I’m a big advocate of making the most out of the cards you’re dealt. Take what you have in the moment and start fixing things. Slowly but surely, and within a reasonable timeframe, you’ll get what you want — or at least you’ll be 2X or 10X better than when you first started. Even if don't get what you want, or get…
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…
How do my daily actions respond this question? What I have done this week: - Worked until late the past weeks. - Spent 2 hours thinking what did we miss? What questions to we need to ask. With these actions I am getting better at: - Managing a project that I will never get credit for - At getting a "good job" "good…
While the beginning of the year was all about writing, the last few months have shifted to making musical devices again. I kind of abandoned my story after a few months of work. It’s not totally gone though. I still have ideas brewing and I will finish it one day! Right now though I am happy to be making things again…
proust said that the hope of being soothed gives one the courage to suffer. i just read dostoevsky's "white nights" and i gained courage for suffering. i felt as though i confronted suffering right on, hand in hand, with the narrator. i feel like an utterly different person now. // i've hit a stride -- i'm getting…
i woke up this morning not knowing where i was but my eyes were heavy so i played a game of "where am i"? before revealing the answer i had some guesses a sailboat in sicily was not one of them (my soul plays this game with me regularly to see if i like where i am. this morning i was rather pleased. it's a splendid…
I love helping people just for the sake of it, without expecting anything back, if I just can share, give or do something that doesn't really affect me negatively I will be happily willing to do so. Being part of such a caring community makes the vibe contagious 🫶🏻
attempts to break outside of a creative block i have revisited some content from mentors who i admire. it is their quotes that resonate with me. the one sticking out now is; "It’s easier to be a critic than to produce work. So the only way to get to the end means is to start the domino effect. Which is essentially put…
I want more harmony. That feeling of recognition when these are fitting into place. I want that joy of knowing that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I want that specificity... The knowing that my life is of a unique design. Co-created with God. Joyful. Full of peace. Not void of pain.. But under-girded by the…
It took me over two weeks to finish Barkha Dutt's book, To Hell and Back. Not because it reads slowly - quite the contrary. But the scope of the pandemic, and the individual and collective tragedies it contains within it, required me to put it aside for days at a time. Individual stories stood out, framed in sharp…
Recently, I had a conversation with the mother of a friend. She asked me what I’m planning to do after finishing my undergraduate studies this summer. Saying that I don’t want to pursue a master’s degree and rather start working directly was already hard for her to comprehend. Then she asked, “So where are you going…
Ainda sobre ernaux, caras. Louco como nos anos 60 as pessoas olhavam para o futuro com positividade, comoa gente olha tbm (??). Robôs pra fazer o trabalho pesado, erradicação da morte e coisas desse tipo. Estamos em 2023 e as pessoas ainda morrem de coisas simples e outras mais complicadas, mas que já deveriam ter…
A couple of days ago, I was really struggling to come up with ideas for that day's writing challenge. Feeling stuck, I was riding an electric scooter through the nighttime streets to get home. With the rush of wind and the feeling of moving forward, ideas started flowing. I came up with concepts for six different…
I own a KZ750E - the four cylinder. Every now and then I try to convince myself that I do not need another motorcycle - but I mostly fail. I have narrowed it down to being a parallel twin. But I have a hard time deciding. Today I will share the research I did today between the three mentioned in the headline. My main…
I hope this is free and online forever because you know we've been burned many times. And we never got rich from all the time we spent on the Internet.
Assisti. Vi no YouTube e adorei que o olímpico escroto, ao contrário do livro, foi rejeitado pela pessoa com quem ele traiu Macabéa. Achei muito louco um filme daquela época falar sobre aborto, mesmo que no final a cartomante tenha colocado isso como um grande erro a ser reparado com oferendas. A afita da minha boca…
the most sexy people is people who knows what they’re doing Doing what’s important to them and achieving them Not by watching others living their lives, that’s very unsexy Doing what you loved to do And doing it is kinda sexy and it happens by doing And by doing you need discipline That’s why you gotta protect your…
Twitter is not so much a social media company as a core part of the global digital infrastructure. Today, that core infrastructure that hosts billions of messages - from the public communications of governments, corporations, civil society and celebrities to the mundane rants of ordinary citizens - is about to pass,…
I picture existence as a film reel with infinite frames. All big bangs, everything that was and everything that will be, are captured on those frames. One flawless complete existence, Nature. Nature is intelligent and curious. It wants to know itself and experience every frame of that film, which is it. How does…
We grow up in small contexts. Until the internet. Life was local. Sentiments were local. Supply and demand were local, and hence taste. The menu available for leisure had limited options. Liberalisation and globalisation opened the world to new experiences. As part of the generation that grew up in this time, I…
Olha. Ainda estou internada. E assim, não sai da minha cabeça o funk puta rica, puta mexicana. Eu não consigo parar de cantar isso e já está me irritando, apesar de engraçado. Não é uma música que eu ouço, mas tava no Twitter e apareceu um cara cujo nome é Xurrasquinho (daí você vê kkkkk) dançando ela. Desde então,…
when i see my piano videos i think "i want to get back on land and keep playing the piano" sigh we don't have one of THOSE yachts with the pianos and if we did we wouldn't have an acoustic because of the humidity why can't all the best parts of life join in one moment and why can't that moment last an eternity until…
I have earned the guts to say this out loud the hard way. I don't HAVE TO do anything. I feel like doing NOTHING and that's what I'll do. I do the things I want to do and feel like doing. There's no shits left to give for anyone or anything else. Only a very calm space inside me where there's an absence of all kinds…
The Hidden Costs of Too Many Choices An abundance of choice can seem like a luxury, but it often undermines our happiness. It might sound counterintuitive, but having too many options can be paralyzing and even make us miserable. Think about it: life was simpler for our great grandparents, who lived in close-knit…
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…
Philosophers have been saying this for centuries. But never before was it more vital than today. You can't not know yourself because there are companies striving to know you more than you do.
Now, I'll admit. When I started the idea for this post, it was to declare, "We've entered the 2nd Industrial Revolution!" Good thing I checked. It's easy for me to get consumed in my own hubris of knowledge, but even easier for me to say, "whoops, let's rethink this." Reading and learning more about the concept of an…
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…
We're already used to interacting with wallets in this manner. But it's wrong to assume that our wallet should be the only key-card that opens all the doors. That's not the version of the future that I want to live in. The one where you flash your black amex at the door to get into the VIP room behind the VIP room.…
My eldest cousin took me out to a handful of football matches in 2015. He had come back from his masters in the UK and I was extremely delighted to go watch football with him. I enjoyed and loved hanging out with him. I don't remember much about what we did and some of the tiny details but I remember how I felt. I…
First time time posting anything anywhere in years. I guess you have to learn to post rambling nothingness before you can post actual cognizant thoughts.
Being you is therapy to your soul heart and brain .But yes it is not easy and can be lonely most of times! But cherishing your own self your ideals your perspectives of life can be so soothing ! Stop chasing to be like someone who you don’t want to be like . Be YOu & your brain can rest in your skull taxfree

It is never a good morning to mourn.
