Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
门当户对 - it's the relationship / survival skills. You did have love with YQ but it doesn't work in the end But if you're not - you gotta work hard to get there Because never compare. There's so much things that you can do when you're single. Focus on something that you won't regret You think you will regret this, regret…
There are many productivity gurus out there who talk about automating things as much as possible. I don't think that would fly with me. Just today, I realised the 'confidence' that small tasks - like cleaning the house, doing laundry - bring to you. Small tasks compound to big tasks. There is an American colonel…
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…
I just miss you so much but I don't matter to you anymore I will to tell my heart that It is not cooperating at the moment
Two young fish are swimming along, when they come across an older fish swimming the other way. He nods at them, saying, “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on; eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?” David Foster Wallace narrated this parable to…
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…
When I was eighteen, I started a journal. I faithfully wrote entries every day for five years. At the time, I didn’t consider it a journal. I was in college. With my tuition paid, my life savings was $1800. This was my spending money. I didn’t qualify for work-study. I planned to make my money last as long as I could.…
When smartphones are invented and we start using them a lot, people always say that the next generation growing up on smartphones will be less smart. Because they don't have time to ponder. But it's been 16 years since Steve invented the iPhone, are we seeing a dumber generation? That would be easy to identify.…
After burning all my codex free tokens last night i had a thought. I think vibe coding is the same as scrolling Instagram reels or Reddit threads. There is a feeling of anticipation of how the result of the agent will be and what if it makes our project fast like a slot machine which engage our brain more and more…
I used to think it was. Most of us get conscious if someone asks us about our hobbies, or what we like to do for fun. Do we wonder if we're the only ones not doing more? Some of us grew up in environments where education was the topmost priority. Everything else took a backseat. We may have stopped pursuing a hobby we…
They say that not a single person on the planet can make something as simple as a pencil. The creation of a pencil - from the lead to the wood - is the culmination of a grand orchestra of people working together. Very few of them were were actively trying to make a pencil, but it's the collective effort that…
Começamos com Tuiuti. Que voz do Pixulé!! Fiquei muito feliz de ver o Nei Lopes lá e de ter insistido em ir no show dele lá no Sesc Pompeia. Achei a transmissão da globo relapsa mais uma vez. No final, quando vi várias fantasias que não foram mostradas ao longo dos 700 metros, foi frustrante. Mass, pelo menos…
For some reason, I have been feeling like I want to do higher studies. My motivations for doing that are 3 fold: 1. I really enjoy student life and want to experience it again 2. I want to stay abroad for a couple of years to travel and experience life 3. I enjoy studying However, I need to find the right program for…
Do music help us to form narratives in our head? Do some music make us think about conflicts while others about compassion? Do our brains have the ability to translate the signals from music into more structured words, sentences and stories? Recently I have been inspired to think and write about topics that I feel are…
Why do I live like this? Do I have to? Can I do better? If so, how? I owe it to myself to ask myself The Real Questions. What brings me joy? What brings me fulfillment? What are my values? How much money is enough? How much success is enough? What does success mean to me? What do I like about myself and my life? What…
Yesterday we started a road trip around Scotland. Our search for lunch was constrained by the lack of variety. Fish & chips, fish & chips ... oh, and another fish & chips shop. Hungry and without alternatives, we settled for a meal that was pricey, unappetizing, and unhealthy. Why is such food prevalent and who…
We all want, so badly, to be loved unconditionally but we struggle to live with the ambivalence of adult love. Adult love starts off wild and intense; strong and stubborn like a mule. But with time, it weakens; eroded by the little things. It falters in the face of unmet expectations, flounders as our outcomes…
People who wait for other people to tell them how to feel about a book or a movie or a musical piece seem to have completely missed the point of reading or watching or listening: to have a personal experience. I have a friend who is so nervous about these things. He wants to appear as though he has good taste. He’s…
Hello! I am glad to be here and just type out my thoughts, not for the sake of anyone but myself. Hopefully I get to be regualar in the process. Look forward to it. Currently I am preparing for my Steps for my future residency program, so this is not a great time to start. Nonetheless, this can be an outlet and a…
AKA the perils of ambition and the loss of your home by emigration induced demographic change You wake up today and you are not 7 years old anymore. You cannot run outside and put your feet on soil or climb a tree with your brother Outside is the concrete and the great unwashed, more people in this building than in…
Be very engaged in conversations The way you put your energy and soul into thinking things Will changed your perspective and yourself to the outside world Like how you talk to subcon You gotta be mentally prepared Very very prepared even your face has to be smiley all day else your PM will think you’re angry It’s a…
The gym is fun, its challenging, helps you have better mental resistance to pain, things you don't necessarily like to do, and the most obvious one its just good for your body. My thing is that I'm a indecisive person and with so many options I just don't enjoy it as much... BUT when going with other people it is way…
I'm not saying I've discovered the secret to happiness, but daily fiber supplements and a bidet is working out great for me.
I take things too personally. When someone tells me they don't like my photos, my brain says, "I'm such a bad photographer." When someone says, "Your outfit is so plain today," my brain says, "I have no style, I look ugly." When someone points out a pimple, my brain says, "I AM UGLY." Something happened today that…
Sometimes I behave in ways I don’t understand and it’s like my soul has a goal and has decided how to get there.
I just read "Selbstdenken" and I've been reading Byung Chul Han's "Agonie des Eros" and... Schopenhauer's language is even clearer and simpler than Han's... And Han is already rather acknowledged for his easy style. I think to be popular it's better to be easy-to-understand. That's why Harry Potter was such a hit. And…
coming from the fertile goddess that is indonesia -- where you spit on the ground and your saliva grows into a giant beanstalk -- back to the arid desert that is italy, i'm thinking: why are we deforesting biodiverse gems of the earth? why don't we farm more seriously in barren places like most of the "1st world"?…
I read every day. It has become automatic so that even in the busiest of days, I will take out the Kindle on my phone and read for 10-20 mins. It is one of those seminal activities that has given me meaning to my life, improved the quality of living. I picked up reading seeing a erudite colleague of mine, which made…
This morning while meditating, one of the many thoughts that popped up was a simple analogy. The appropriate thing to do was to the let the thought pass, but because this was an analogy for the meditation itself, I indulged. If mind is like the ocean, then meditation is like diving The ocean's surface is rough on some…
These last 600 days have been the most toughest period of my entire life. I have cried my eyes out, felt miserable, sat like furniture for days on end & contemplated committing suicide. This all happened around my folks at home, never did they ever came up to me ask : what is brewing ? how am I feeling ? how can they…
Almost feels like people reveal themselves only on the internet anonymously nowadays. It makes me wonder whether she is reacting like this because she wants to continue the conversation or she is being genuine. Everyone has a mask irl. Idk anymore.
Its strange why my articlulation of ideas/feedback has not been upto the mark - despite spending time with clear thinkers. Second order thinking also tends to be a pain in the ass - a number of the decisions that I take spread ripple effects that I need to be vary of. Along with one & two, crisp writing especially in…
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…
Wife, after sharing second thoughts about starting a new job: "Do you think they're the kind of people who would hire a woman just because she's a woman?" Me: "Wondering whether you're the benefactor of affirmative action feels kind of gross, doesn't it?" Wife: "Ugh" I should note that the Hebrew term for that…
i have never recovered from the love i felt for you it doesn't matter if someone is bf material or not--you can fall in love with them--because it's not for the sake of making them your bf that you fell in love with them
Have you ever thought that creating the life of your dreams was a never-ending process with little to no payoff? It's tempting to look at the facts and conclude that nothing is changing, but what if the apparent lack of change was a test? What if going through dry spells helped you develop the character you needed to…
Fui a um brunch muito chique à beira do rio Spree com um amigo. Coloquei um vestido bonito e um casaco tão pomposo quanto parecia ser o evento. O lugar era moderno, uma construção recente no meio de uma área industrial decadente. Chegamos às 13h35. Encontrei um conhecido na entrada do jardim. Depois uma amiga que…
Writing is a two prong thing for me. First, the process of thinking and writing itself is enjoyable and vaguely satisfying. Secondly, well crafted words can command enormous influence. Every good story, instruction or code starts with a written word. But what's also true is that writing regularly is hard work. It's…
timeless, you would be working more overtime, over time.
i'm looking for something i realized that i write to solve my problems and find clarity but since my problem is quite large now, i'm gathering much concentration and this is all i think about. i've been asking all my friends. i'm trying to solve something that no one has ever solved. but if the answer is out there,…
All thanks to Winters: I'm basking in sun while writing this. Sun's warmth feels too heavenly these days. My society's ground is filled with people, majorly grannies with their grand kids. Every person present here has come down of their matchboxes to soak in some Vit-D. I can see so many teletubbies having fun,…
I’ve been wanting to get better at giving accurate time estimates—how long it will take to get something done, or how long it will take to get somewhere. As a kid, this wasn’t a problem for me. My mom would make sure we were 30 minutes early to everything. Sitting in the doctor’s office because we arrived half an hour…
I finally jumped onto the startup bandwagon towards the end of 2021 at the time when offices were sending emails to their employees about opening up. It occurred to me then that if I did not do this, then the only choice left to me would be to go back to the corporate world. I decided to start my own corporate world…
you keep shouting my name on the sidelines so much so, that - unconsciously, of course, and probably without intent - you became my biggest cheerleader, even when i don’t do things exactly right i’ve never had that. then, i noticed that you apply the same softness in other aspects of our… acquaintance the first to ask…
Now that things are opening up again, I've been thinking of the importance of being in cities that are known in your space. For e.g. Bombay for Media/Finance, Bangalore for Tech, Paris for Fashion. This was really important for career growth before Covid and remote work. Does it still hold now? I would think so. Let's…
For many years, the river apologized for its banks. Whenever it flooded, it apologized. Whenever it changed course, it apologized. Whenever it carried away a bridge built carelessly across its body, it apologized. The villages grew accustomed to this. They spoke of the river as though it were a servant. They drew maps…
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.…
• DO WHAT YOU CAN. As long as you start momentum habits. • Principles are the same. You just had to apply. • Listen to your parents but don’t take advice from poor people. Instead, join and attract yourself to the rich. • Be clear in your mind - means doing hard work for the easiest tasks so that you don’t have…
