A world of little thoughts.
i've done all the tasks i needed to do today!!!!!! celebrate good times also i am starting to understand my mom more and she is funny me "i think i was a boy in a past life" mom "oh that's just like this life"
It frustrates me to watch debates that descend into whataboutery. And if images speak louder than words, I hope the one above manages to drown out a bunch of pointless arguments. Whataboutery is a tactic used by people who know exactly what they're doing – intentionally distorting the public's perception of reality.…
Question 1: What unactivated dream are you holding onto today from those before you? My name was given to me by my great-grandmother. I was an infant when she held me in her arms for the first and last time, somewhere near the coast of Nigeria. From what my parents told me about the interaction, she looked at me and…
Mais um dia em BH. Hoje vou sair de novo, claro, mas assim que vai ser: vou levar meu livro, vou ir no mercado novo, comer um pão de queijo, almoçar por lá mesmo e depois partiu cinema. Vou ficar lá até o final da tarde e depois voltar pra casa. Aí si, si! Tô cansada de andar. Gostoso porém chega. Falando em andar, as…
i like volcanoes the same way i like indie movies and indie books: volcanoes are different from "normal" landmasses but they're also different from each other i've been on two volcanoes: Kīlauea on Hawai'i and Mt. Etna on Sicily my favorite is Mt. Etna i am curious about this one volcano in Indonesia which has "blue…
I will miss her. She listened to me. She made me feel intelligent. Slowly she grew on me. I loved her drive and intelligence. She was colorful. She shone in the crowd. I fell in love slowly, then all at once. But she broke my heart, she ghosted and she left. I thought we could build a lot of things today. I wanted her…
For the longest time I've had a not so healthy relationship with consuming content. I would feel guilty about watching a show or a movie. One of the major reasons was that I had procrastinated so much on the things I should've done that when it was leisure time, it felt wrong. I felt like I hadn't earned it. Have you…
What you do when you're alone that allows you to become the best version of yourself, determines what kind of success you're going to attain. Imagine: KS - probably sleeping or gaming or Tik Tok E - He probably read news or he read about startups; gaining knowledge that allows him to excel in his career You - Staring…
We allow phones at our dinner table. I know that’s counterintuitive coming from someone who 14 years ago, declared, ”When we are empty-nesters, we'll still have dinner table conversation.” At the time, I wasn’t worried about phones. It was magazines. Now a phone comes out almost every evening at our dinner table, for…
Yesterday I started working on ramen based on local ingredients from Goa. So far I've swapped the traditional pork topping for a Goan Choriz and I blended cashew nuts into the broth. As I gently pushed the boundaries here I constantly found myself asking what makes ramen ramen? The black and white answer is that Ramen…
All things and beings that exist are born from the vastness of the universe, shaped from its matter, yet we wander through life believing ourselves to be independent, everlasting souls, existing within but separate from the very cosmos from which we were created. This illusion of separatedness is the mind’s deception,…
So far so good I suppose, I'm comparing this experience to my micro.blog experience. The "write post" editor is not quite up to my standards and could use some improvement but it works very well. It feels like I'm writing in notepad, and I hate writing in notepad. Maybe I'll come back here and update my post with more…
If you've read my last post, you know that I've been obsessed with Kanye for the past few weeks. It's pretty much the only thing I listen to and have been greatly inspired by his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. But yesterday, when I was re-listening to MBDTF for the nth time, I enjoyed it way more than the…
Hello out there !!! Exploring this blogger site, so far good. Simple, yet sufficient space for sharing the thoughts. Checking out the already available bloggers, still didn't find any blog to my like. Will continue. Let's see how far this journey goes.... Have fun, ❤️
Have you ever come across a woman who stole your heart from the moment you first laid eyes on her? I met her two weeks ago. A blazing soul that seared away any remnants of my past lovers. She laughs at my jokes. She blushes when I flirt. When I offer chocolates she declines once and then accepts. I told her she was…
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…
We are all but pawns in someone's game of life. When we have absolutely no control over some things, the only thing we can resort to is to take a deep breath, sit and back and let the future unfold. There is no point putting the heart and mind to strife.
Why is it that you see most of the philosophers talking about high performance rarely act upon them and are high performers? Philosophers tend to romanticise life in their heads and yet dont see the beauty of the world they live in. Here, is something to note that I have read some of the works of alan watts, Jiddu…
I have spent an obnoxious amount of time asking myself, "what should I do with my life?" Not because there is anything necessarily "to do" or because I have an inherently unsatisfying or distressing life. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I have a cushy, work-from-home, tech-adjacent, golden-handcuffs, kind of job. Me…
I have been thinking about creativity lately. More precisely I have been thinking about how I used to be a lot more creative than I am right now. We have all heard famous quotes about “the system” killing creativity as we grow up. I recently went down this rabbit hole to explore what exactly happens, here is what I…
Ahhhh some days are experienced yet sit deep within my subconscious never to be recalled on. today could be one of those days...
The optimal number of imperfections in a city is not zero. I just spent 24 hours in Lima, and I think it comes pretty close to finding the right balance between organisation and chaos. Combine that with a friendly people, an incredible cliff-edged coastline and world class cuisine, and you've got yourself a city you…
You wanna be charismatic and people person as much as possible. So when you leave the office - remember that you’re only doing it cos you wanna get rest at home. Everything you do makes sense - so heads up and say bye to your superior and colleagues (imagine what E will do) - oh bye! And the voice will not really…
Venture capital has funded many of today's most successful tech companies ("Big Tech"). As those companies rapidly scaled, small harms that perhaps initiated as unknown risks, ballooned. I'm not going to list them all here because I would need way more than 300 words, but here's a selective subset: - online…
Alright this is the second time in a row that I forgot to write I did not create the time block I talked about.But, no more excuses. I'm doing it right away to remind me everyday to write at 9.30pm. Right now when I'm thinking about what to write here, there are a thousand ideas swimming in my mind. Rather than…
The self-help genre is the second most addicting substance that is fully legal in the world. In case you’re wondering, coffee is first by a long mile. The self-help industry is worth over 10 billion dollars, and I imagine will continue to grow as we search for more answers on how to improve. We read books and listen…
Every time something bad happens to me i always think about how i could have avoided it had i known all the intricacies of the problem. I think i wish i consulted people apriori. As it is often said hindsight is the best insight. Another perspective to this is had i known all the intricacies would i be putting myself…
Just like your cleansing schedule - it’ll take hours to do. However if you have the “do-it” mentality: you’ll reach there no matter what, you’ll get better once you start to do it everyday Just get started first Always have an end goal in mind. Then set a timeline First principles Like why you wanted to do it You have…
So I happened upon marketing by accident. I began my career as a psychological researcher. I was in charge of putting out flyers to attract people with major depressive disorder to a study where they could receive free treatment. One day, I was instructed to put fliers in doctor's office waiting rooms, cars in parking…
turned on the water heater to shower and then was like "nah" smelled my armpit, and confirmed my "nah" i smell like nothing.
Ahhhhhh!!! this journey excites me. then my nerves pull me back. let me try again tomorrow...
Today we had a lawyer friend of my dad and his 19 year old son who is about to study law visiting. In our conversation we started discussing AI and the future. This not only highlighted my deep immersion in the tech world but also surprised and somewhat triggered me by seeing once again just how naive some educated…
you can convince yourself that you're happy. that whatever you're doing right now is healthy and that your friends love you - in a group or not. yet, you cant run away from the truth. heaven knows im miserable, i hope that death would be nicer to me then in that sense. i dont want to die but i dont want to live like…
i love books that are "aggressively pointless" like they make a point to be pointless (i learned this term from a goodreads user who condemned a book for having this quality that i so dearly cherish. btw; that guy with mainstream taste from youtube named "jack" actually disliked jordan castro's /the novelist/ which…
Empathy. Extremely important in the care industry. “You know you’re not being empathetic enough if the person in front of you ain’t crying” - I have always heard. As part of my day job, I am not supposed to be anyone’s therapist, but I end up needing to demonstrate empathy. When I was younger, I stuck to canned…
I lay on the mat staring up at the kaleidoscopic reflections on the ceiling. I pictured the next thing I could do at that moment. I pictured an event that could follow that, and another to follow that, and I whizzed around and around until I caught myself, and I realized I was Telescoping. In the next few moments, I…
karl's (much younger) gf said "karl said you guys were really impressed by him" ("is that true?" she implied) and he was smiling like "you tell her, tell her what you told me" and i was like "well yeah karl is pretty much the coolest person we've ever met" he was like "told you ;)" i just love karl's confidence he…
Every time I need to tweak something on my work mac, I'm irked by the title of the settings pane. What every computer interface has referred to as "settings", Apple chose to rename "preferences". Settings implies a certain relationship between us and our tools. You set the fuel / air mixture of a carburetor for…

Knowledge of self Mindset Positive Affirmations Processing Thoughts and Reflection But where do you start? The magic of journaling is it doesn’t matter. Journal what you feel. Ask yourself these questions: Do…
i don't mean ibuprofen i mean weed i realized that weed restored back to me a positivity and practical intelligence and life force and "i can do this" that i had lost due to my hypersensitivity and awareness of the general shittiness of average people before books saved my life, weed threw me a flotation device.
why is cocaine illegal but instagram legal? is it because cocaine is made by latin americans but instagram was made by a white man with an east asian wife? it's not that there is anything wrong with instagram per se, but people are base and they don't know what's good for them so they use it in ways that give power to…
think of me like a torch in your hand, a helping light. someone who helps you see through the dark tunnel. but not as someone who latches onto your wrist and pulls you through—without you seeing, without noticing the world as it rushes by. the tunnel is yours, not mine. we are in our own dark tunnels, carrying tools.…
Harry glanced at the monk and sighed, "Guess that makes me the fool. No one in their right mind would say they don't enjoy driving a Lexus." In moments when my rational mind has exhausted all possible avenues to reach a conclusion using scientific methods, I find solace in turning to philosophy. One fine morning,…
Most of us work towards building a life you don't need to escape from. A free life. "F(ree) You". There are few moments in life where your perspective to life alters completely. One such event was when my investments started to cover my monthly expenses and beyond. I managed to reach this point owing to many reasons,…
What percentage of your time is spent consuming and what percentage is spent practicing being the person you aspire to be? When you are growing into adulthood, it is natural that you are a big consumer of information on the worlds around you. And of all the options you have of dealing with that world. However,…
- 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
Bom, vamos lá. VIRADOURO, NÉ? CAMPEÃ, na minha opinião! Que lindeza a homenagem que fizeram pro mestre Ciça na Sapucaí. O desfile foi surpreendente do inicio ao fim. Todo mundo lindo, feliz e, mais importante, emocionado. Realmente, tem gente que faz muita diferença né? Ele próprio estava emocionadíssimo, totalmente…
Depois passar a segunda-feira pós-natal, também feriado na Alemanha, em companhia do meu pijama no sofá, fui tomada por uma energia inesperada. Foi no banho. Lavei os cabelos muito curtos e os olhos, que se recuperam da cirurgia, com cuidado excessivo. Aos poucos, a água quente jorrando com força no meu corpo me…
