I'm not saying I have OCD and ADHD, but it takes me an hour to walk from my bedroom to my kitchen.

Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I'm not saying I have OCD and ADHD, but it takes me an hour to walk from my bedroom to my kitchen.
a new platform shows up on HN, so I'm here, just in case I miss out. I'm also on urbit, just in case I miss out. I'm also on urbit because I am a pseudocoder, but I like fp and weirdness. My real field is [humanities], and after five years I'm only beginning to come to terms with liking it, and being able to undertake…
- An observation from today's preparation for a hackathon. - In a complex world, we tend to think complex solutions are needed. Yet, simplicity often leads to better results. Overcomplicating things can obscure the real issues, making solutions hard to implement and maintain. We don't always need to match complexity…
aren't you afraid, that you'll get so good at controlling your emotions, that you'll become impervious to pleasure?
the writing (that i'm reading, that i wrote, that i'm editing) is getting better. it is less sour. oh thank god this is salvageable. also i seem to encounter norwegians who make me think "you are so cool bc we are so similar" but i am not even remotely scandinavian and i think it has a lot to do with how they like to…
After already having several goodbye parties in Chile from friends and family that think I'm not coming back, today I say goodbye to the end of my gap semester to return to Chile. It's also a goodbye to my long distance relationship partner once again (for like the 7th time) by now I should be a pro at this. But,…
Well, I asked for a piano keyboard and Santa delivered. Sitting right next to me is a second-to-cheapest-I-could-find 88-key keyboard with a stand and seat. I have been using FlowKey about 30 minutes a night. When I was between eight years old, I took piano lessons. I quite after three months. Learning the piano is…
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…
1331 Just took a walk - no call yet. Bad news would have led to an immediate call, I suspect. Then again, may need time to absorb bad news first. All the worrying you do now won't affect what happens next. 1332
In 30 min more I'm going to a volleyball training, I know no one, I have realized that if a know someone even if I know them only online, not even in person, I have no anxiety when going to social gatherings. When I don't no anyone at all its a completely different story, I start to question if I should go or not, my…
e ai? voltei! a vida é curta pra escrever tanto e eu tô tentando me acostumar que, sim, algumas memórias vão se perder mesmo. a escrita, pra mim, tem um pouco dessa tentativa de não esquecer o que eu vivi, mas.... passei o carnaval em salvador com o meu namorado. em são paulo, já não sou muito afim dessa festa…
Eu acho que me daria muito bem na Alemanha, pq gosto de encarar. Em SP, sinto que isso é mal visto. Há alguns dias comi no churrasqueto. Alcatra, arroz, fritas, suco de abacaxi, suco de limão, polenta frita, pãozinho com cebola em conserva e molhinho de cheiro verde com tomate. Não necessariamente nessa ordem. Tudo um…
estava lendo drops da fal e fiquei pensando no estilo dela, tão livre, resgatando pequenos objetos do seu relicário, e quis fazer isso também. muita coisa aconteceu nas últimas semanas. fui pra chapada diamantina pela primeira vez, fiquei na casa dos pais de uma amizade que surgiu repentina e tão aleatoriamente, num…
do you ever feel that scientists are paid to investigate some pretty obvious things and that society as a whole is interested in very uninteresting things? i want to know about how human language got invented. not any specific language, but the concept of language itself. and how, if the language families don't have a…
Ask more, tell less.
Do you have a friend who is in a toxic relationship, and as an outsider, you think, "Why the heck are you still there? Isn't it obvious?" Well, I’ve been on both sides of that situation, and it's easier said than done. As an observer, you don't have any feelings attached, so you look at it more rationally. But…
In my personal experience, (and according to some self-help gurus) the blank canvas is very intimidating. It happens when you start on anything new- every letter you type, every stroke of the brush seems to violently destroy the beauty of the blankness, the nothingness. To be worthy of taking up space, the very first…
I have nothing against people who like planning and following plans. But all planning is ultimately your need to feel in control. It's a you-problem. I say problem because being good at planning nurtures a bit of entitlement within you. You move ahead in life thinking - because plans work out 70% time, the other 30%…
Sim, odeio é uma palavra muito forte. Eu também acho. Mas vamos lá de novo. Eu odeio sair a noite. Me sinto ainda mais deslocada, ainda mais outsider, como se não só eu, mas todo mundo soubesse que eu não pertenço aquele círculo ou aquele lugar. Vou ser justa: eu até gosto de sair, mas para cinema, restaurante, show,…
6. talk to the trees. their plant matter is tens of thousands of years old and harbors a wisdom that often goes unnoticed. seek out the hidden messages in the sound of their rustling leaves and the intricate patterns of their bark. hold hands with their branches and allow their roots to help ground you. 7. in moments…
Moving is expensive, specially when its to a country where you can only reach by plane, the baggage allowance is limited, so there is so many things that you have to buy. Everything is so expensive and I just realized that there are so many teeny tiny things that as a whole they add up, from spoons, plates, pots,…
Someone grabs your jacket as you walk by and they won’t let go. Immediately, your senses are heightened. You think this person wants to fight, but you turn around to see a kind smile. Please don’t leave, they say, I see that you are a man of God and I need to know more. A humbling experience. What does it say about…
True. To be attractive & meaningful & charismatic Put other people first. Always. Not pleasuring them though
não me mande não experimentar alguma coisa porque a sua realidade com aquilo foi ruim. eu gosto de provar. gosto de sentir. gosto de eu mesma pensar em avançar ou recuar. é certo que não preciso morrer pra ver deus, mas se eu achar que preciso morrer, me deixa. depois eu volto e conto como foi. quero provar e sentir.…
Lembre-se que todo minuto dentro da ficção custa tempo da sua vida real. Durma direito. Tome sol pela manhã. Hidrate-se. Faça uma atividade física. Caminhe. Alimente-se melhor. Escolha bem suas companhias. Semeie e cultive bons relacionamentos. Aprecie a lua. Passe mais tempo com quem te aprecia. Saiba lutar pelos…
I recently came home after completing college and shutting down a startup, this has given me a lot of time to reflect about the past and think about the future. A friend suggested me to let my mind wander, so i've been watching, reading and doing random stuff (as long as I enjoyed them). One of the things I recently…
Acordei animada, mas atrasada. Coloquei meu celular pra carregar, tomei banho, tomei vitamina de banana com chocolate que meu amor fez pra mim. Atualmente, essa é minha comida favorita. Fui pro aeroporto de ônibus acompanhada do meu amor. Fico tão feliz de ver o quanto ele me apoia. O avião atrasou bem. Mas finalmente…
Following on from my last post, I believe anthropology can provide ways to avoid future Techlashes. The focus for today is on "reflexivity", a concept that gained ground in anthropology in the 70s in the works of scholars such as Paul Rabinow, James Clifford and George Marcus. Reflexivity means both: a) considering…
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…
Does anyone else sees the irony with influencers? They are supposed to drive a positive change among their followers and yet we see most of them end up getting influenced by their followers. I don't think most of influencers can truly express themselves on social media. There is always that possibility of backlash…
Is to do every single little thing right Even if you’re out of time You still use NOW as a start Wake up and it’s a new beginning Put 💯 onto every single task I want you to monitor how you breathe All your action is going to make so many difference So you gotta fortify your mind; put a purpose Rather than feeling the…
Eu volto de férias hoje às 14h. Tenho certeza que tenho muitos emails para ler, só não mais que eu teria se estivesse trabalhando no varejo. Então, um mais um motivo para agradecer. Agora, minha quarentena esse ano vai ser do instagram. Volto daqui 40 dias. Com o tempo, pretendo ler mais, estudar mais. Hoje também fiz…
There are some writers on the internet who are like a pair of tinted spectacles – they help you see the world more clearly while adding a tint of their choice. Alex Danco is one of those writers. His work spans a range of topics – from Tech to Culture, History, Philosophy, and Sociology. The tint uses across all of…
I struggle to understand my emotions.My calibration ranges from sad,happy,hurt and angry.Beyond this I go "Idk it felt weird/not nice". An incident is making me ponder over this incapability and its real meaning. Context:I'm not close with my relatives.I don't share,ask about their lives,don't call,dont spend time…
Why stressing into the things when it’s too late to control The first mistake that people make is they try to avoid mistake It’s okay to be making mistake About systematic You remember the times you woke up for school, do the homeworks and be a goodboy That’s training yourself to be adulting It’s nothing “nerd” about…
On the whole, I'm pretty big on Science. But it's important to distinguish between the cult of science and the core scientific method. Whenever someone says "scientifically proven" I wince. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. Science can only disprove stuff. It's just a method of…
sabe uma coisa que me irrita profundamente? pessoas que olham uma mulher em uma relação e daí olham para o homem e não se constrangem em agir como se a mulher tivesse sido salva por aquele homem maravilhoso que teve coragem de abrir o caminho de espinhos para oferecer amor incondicional a ela..... preguiça em níveis…
To be at to have a sharp brain Keep working Reading Have a social life When tired - take it slower; but you’ve never heard people said STOP 🛑 just slower The first step is always the hardest First step of “吃苦” - of hardworking Allocate an “action card” to it For example if I put the laptop on my lap on the MRT - I’ll…
Read the news about the incident in Itaewon in South Korea. Shocking event really. 156+ dead with 151+ injured. Work was productive. I can finally start working on design docs to push for ideas I’ve had. I started looking at jetbrains space, a new productivity tool. Started looking at the ActivityPub protocol. It…
Dreams of fortunes, inside towers tall, Deaf ears drown inner calls. Fancy house, a high-rise view, For fleeting praise i chose to pursue. My youth traded for suits and ties, Seeking my worth in some other's eyes. Dawn to dusk in office halls, Sleepless nights inside mansion walls Through sleepless nights and silent…
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…
TL;DR=throw and raise are fuck ugly anti-patterns. Golang got it right. In typescript, just use type unions with you return type and a custom error type. Yesterday, my code hit an exception, and I had no idea why. When I went to look at what the cause could be, my eyes started welling up. Not out of pride, but out of…
How often in my life I have not taken the time to process my feelings. I know how to work hard and achieve success but I forget to celebrate with a period of rest and restoration. How many times in my life I have ran from one thing to the next without fully absorbing the monumental endeavors that I have achieved. The…
To refer to a phenomenon or quantity as being deficient implies that there is some proper amount one might expect to have. A gas tank that is three-quarters empty, for example, would rightly be considered deficient if our destination were two hundred miles away; a "gasoline deficit," as it were. It would be just as…
Vi sus ojos llorosos en el espejo retrovisor. Han pasado cinco años desde que Roberto se fue de Venezuela. Vino a probar la vida en Perú. Trajo consigo perro, hija y esposa en la maleta. Probó la suerte, creyendo que la economía peruana era una de las más estables. "Cuando la gente me pregunta si me gusta Lima, no sé…
My room is not so tidy. I don’t have a place for the shoes, there are some sheets of paper on the floor, but it’s okay. I look at it and I’m scared. It looks temporary. Now it’s tidy, tomorrow will be a mess. And the more I try to keep it tidy, the more my fear grows. Just like for my mind, I’m afraid of the following…
A Matriarch born in 1908 in present day Pakistan has left a wonderful legacy, four generations ahead. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of staying true to her legacy. From her Son (84 years), her grand daugters (in their 50s and 60s), her great grand daughters (40s and 50s) and great great grand children (from…
Skyggene gjør seg alltid større enn de er. Mørket tåler nesten ingenting. Det går i stykker av litt lys.
