Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
From my experiments: The best sleep schedule for humans is polyphasic in the summer (±5h at night, 90 min during the day) and monophasic during the winter (8-10h sleep at night; no nap during the day). It’s best to wake up with the onset of the morning dawn (slightly before sunrise). It is natural for humans to wake…
She's a good girl.
Será que já acabei com meus créditos de textos aqui? Fiquei dois dias sem escrever, né? Talvez mais. Voltando. Hoje está um dia lindo em São Paulo. Um silêncio no centro, céu azul e sol bom. Levei minhas dogs pra passear. A minha mais velha passou por um veterinário que disse que ela precisa tirar a cadeia inteira de…
There's a sickening feeling of being surrounded by darkness. What feels like an everlasting doom consuming your peripherals. You're trapped, maybe not physically, but mentally, or both. If, one stands in place, that place becomes your home. A home that echoes into the voids of your mind driving you insane. The purpose…
We’re meeting more and more. Our calendars are full of it. But why is our hearts empty? The more I’m glued to my screen, listening to faceless voices, the less I understand. Why am I here?
Mais um início de semana. Estou com algumas coisas para entregar, mas, no geral, está tranquilo. Queria entender melhor como melhorar meu trabalho. Não trabalhar mais, mas de forma mais eficiente. Assisti mais episódios da série new girl e comecei a ver a série documental, dirty money. Comecei pelo episódio do donald…
"Do you ever feel like you're not really yourself?" I ask Pinocchio. Pinocchio said, I was carved in a troubling home,I never really understood, I was born from hands that built but never held. My father dreamed of me, but not for me. He thought I would be his joy, his salvation. But I was just another thing he tried…
Today we did an excursion to a famous startup incubator in San Francisco. They offered us to be part of their community and work there for free. Extremely generous. As an aspiring founder, having access to the best startup ecosystem in the world and being part of a fantastic community of ambitious builders is an…
🌊 Stay for 5 minutes more - discuss about aluminium frame? Think of organising Wall Setting Out Review? Talk to WC - it’s a good way to show face to face? Text is always easy and lazy. Putting in efforts and initiative is sometimes more important - think about the game - the more you play the better you get at it…
É. Não tem pra onde fugir. Não sou negacionista e mais: acredito muito na ciência, na medicina, apesar de estar cantando a música "lenda", da céu loucamente nos últimos dias. Minha dog vai ter que operar. Mas antes, dá-lhe prediderm, dá-lhe remédio pra não ter trombose, muitos exames de sangue e do coração. Ela odeia…
When you sit and stop listening to your cravings, stop giving in to your aversions, stop following the “should”s, just sit, eventually you realize: wanting isn’t craving. they’re not even similar. A common response to “What if you just did whatever you want all the time?” is “Oh, I’d just get fat and play video…
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…
The duality baffles me. Of who I am, and who people think I am. Actually fuck duality. Let's call it the unholy trinity. Disgusts me. Who I am, who I think I am, and who people perceive me to be. It's surreal once you become slightly aware that you might already be living in a multiverse. Of your own faults. Of your…
We quote Steve Jobs a lot on how we can connect the dots looking backward. To pick and choose parts we remember well to craft a narrative that we call our story, in a way that makes sense. Retrospective parenting is what I call consoling the kid who got hurt years ago. To make sense of the hurt that hasn't healed.…
HAVE I SAID ALL I HAVE TO SAY? Do those I love know the depth and history of that love, and that it persists beyond dimensions? Why am I waiting to tell them? Am I waiting for perfection before sharing my thoughts in writing or via speeches? What opportunity will I lose if the moment passes? HAVE I DONE WHAT I HAVE TO…
Is it fucked to think that If you want to get attracted TO other person The first thing to do is to be attractive yourself (girls trying to be pretty; guys trying to make money) Then you’ll attract people who WANTS it (kinda fucked up to think people you attracted will be lesser than you) Be a great story teller, a…
I first read Akshay’s piece on the blog lamenting the vicious cycle of bad writing that lawyers develop. His recommendation at the end was elegant: write more! I seek not to dispute his claim but to give the reader some food for thought on writing style. If you are introduced to the classics as I were, in fourth grade…
On our first official full day in Finland I realized how lucky I am to have experienced so many cultures and seen so many different countries/continents. My mom couldn't stop stopping at every single corner to take pictures about the silliest things (in my opinion), for example, being surprised at how blue the sky…
Means 珍惜当下 You don’t really have to “search” for opportunities Instead know when opportunities came When she approaches you Know the signals know what other are thinking If not find a way to know Change up your daily habits so you don’t Mas Lay on bed Waiting for “things to happen” It won’t come unless you’re taking…
Coming back from a week of traveling, being in nature, and pretty much not working at all, I am realizing how much I love working - understanding new concepts, creating something new, deeply engaging with a problem and thinking it through. Sitting in the train on the way back, already working on a few things and…
I think it’s time to pick this thing back up and micro-journal daily. The goal. To create a writing habit that sticks.
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…
Maybe I'm biased, but I don't believe that people are fundamentally lazy. Our whole modern world seems founded on this misconception. Why do people need jobs? Because, if they didn't have them, they'd give themselves over to lounging and debauchery. Every person is a malingerer at heart. Can this really be true? In my…
Today has been one of the most exhausting days i have had in a while. If i take a look at what i did today in terms of work: 1. Call with Harsh: 30 mins 2. Call with Shriya: 15 mins 3. Bliss club Interview: 1 hour 4. Call with NGO: 30 mins 5. Sleep: 2 hours 6. Freak out about salary: 40 mins 7. Warehousing call: 30…
Meus planos de ver meu sobrinho deram errado porque alguém decidiu que "não é o momento". Como eu não sou a mãe e não tenho papéis com decisões jurídicas, fica difícil bater de frente para impor minha vontade. Eu sempre digo: certo pelo certo. Tem que ir atrás das burocracias, os acordos precisam estar assinados por…
Wednesday 29th January. 18 games on one evening. An accumulator-builder's dream. This is a gluttony of football. One show promising to serve up this grotesque buffet of deep-fried dopamine hits. "We go live to the San Siro" "There's been an equaliser for City" "Big chance for Benfica" This is football reduced to its…
What if augmented reality (AR) went beyond simply projecting (virtual, simplified) models of objects into our existing world? AR should be a true expansion of our sensory inputs, enhancing how we experience reality. Scientific instruments already achieve this by allowing us to perceive phenomena beyond our natural…
How many places do you visit that you will never see again? I thought this was the standard. You have one-off relationships with different places and cities because life changes. You evolve in life and naturally change: cities, careers, relationships, old selves. Some people consciously make an effort to come back to…
I recently started listening to an audiobook called 'Story worthy' and in that the writer states that every movie can be boiled down to 5 secs scenes of transformation. I realized this can be true for any movie, tv show or any other form of entertainment. So, I had a thought that if we think what our 5 secs would be,…
Shephards pie with chicken mince, mini pomfrets on a bed of buttered spinach, pasta with a medley of ''english'' vegetables in a tomato sauce. Green salad with a generous topping of feta. Of course, some very garlicky bread. For dessert a christmas plum cake with fresh cherries in a custard. Topped off with a bottle…
Covid came and Covid went (well, not really). There was isolation for a long time. Then there was not, as long as you wore masks in private spaces. Shortly after I started going out, I began having these recurrent dreams. I would dream that I entered someplace (the bus, the shopping, whatever) and suddenly notice that…
i've been doing this: (1) reading until my brain can't take any more words [currently reading fitzgerald and thomas bernhard; loving both] (2) music a lot of music (3) write repeat that's my fun routine. my unfun routine is boat work. ha.
I'm currently reading a highly recommended history of the American Revolution. It's a fairly big book with nearly 800 pages, and I'm about a third through. I'm not going to write much about the book itself, because I plan to write a more detailed review when I finish. I like history and read a lot of history books.…
What is a model for radical honesty, and how can we communicate it in a way that others understand both our actions and their role in them? Consider a quadrant with "benefit to self" and "benefit to others" as its cornerstones. The opposite side consists of losses to oneself and others. Examining this model, what…
Aĥĥ there is joy to find in thinking about how others create. their process, their thoughts, their ethos. some i can see clearly, while others make me wonder more. it is the latter who interest me most because whatever they create next, it will communicate another hint into how they create...
“We are splinters and mosaics; not, as they used to hold, immaculate, monolithic, consistent wholes.” schreef Virginia Woolf in een van haar dagboeken. Wanneer ik schrijf raak ik soms gefrustreerd met de manier waarop ik mijn gedachtenstromen volg, laat dwalen en met vele omwegen weer terug probeer te leiden. Ik denk…
reflect & manifest reverb23 in january adapts the reverb10 event shared about in this post - https://nicheless.blog/post/before-%7C-reverb-in-december-20 "... online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next ... an opportunity to reflect on what's happened, and to send out reverberations for the year…
Yesterday, I accidentally smashed a bottle of red wine in our kitchen. Pieces of the broken bottle scattered everywhere, and red wine covered the floor and splashed on the walls—it was a huge mess. Understandably, I was very pissed off at first. But I remembered Shirzad Chamine's mantra of "taking the hand off the hot…
Estou passando uns dias na casa dos meus pais em São Paulo. Voltar para cá me faz encarar uma realidade de onde às vezes teimo em escapar. Estava refletindo sobre a minha preguiça quando ouvi a minha mãe no cômodo debaixo arrastando o andador para se movimentar pela casa. Ela faz questão de fazer tudo apesar da…
Human ingenuity and persistence is best seen in engineering. A mere 2 feet separated imagination and death in the hour long flight. Multiple forces are involved, from engineering, flight management to freedom of choice in choosing flight time. We flew in a 1978 Piper Cherokee, i.e a 45 year old plane. She has also…
I find myself mindlessly following small details around stuff I have no interest in, hour after hour, achieving nothing. It's not just me. We are all flooding our systems with more irrelevant information than ever before, and the more there is the less we can focus on any one piece. This increase in the volume of…
I am wondering what it takes to be all right today or on other days. Yesterday — or maybe two yesterdays ago — I was unsteady. I woke up and the breaths didn't want to escape my lungs through my mouth or their proper airways. I realize what was calling to me wasn't the mortal drag of my eventual drop to the ground.…
As far as I know there are two types of hotels in New York. There are the ones I go to now, using an app that shows me good deals for luxe stays based on daily vacancies. These places are modern, well-appointed, display vintage claptrap in the lobby, and feel like Wes Anderson movie sets. The bar has some kid with a…
Maturity is you know how to 守 not just 攻. You don’t need to keep replying the guys who have bad intention to you. Don’t make yourself the victim And just do you Be interesting
Continuation from the previous blog: Now, I'm focused on establishing a healthier routine for myself. Going to bed and waking up early has become a priority, and having a proper breakfast energizes me for the day. I relish each moment of progress, savoring the taste of victory as I take positive steps forward. I'm…
rientrare a casa dopo qualche giorno di camper è un pò come tornare in prigione. Nonostante il campeggio sia un luogo spartano e privo di protezioni della privacy, mi fa sentire molto meglio che a casa. La gente si fa i cazzi suoi, non come qui... Sembra che non voglia capire il mio disagio ed il mio bisogno di…
I am trying so hard to let people continue to be who they are. But I'm not having any success. It makes so much more sense to smile politely and have a superficial R'ship instead of expecting reciprocal sincerity, integrity and loyalty. Enforcing your boundaries time and again is exhausting and I have always withdrawn…
It’s me…again…here bc I’m wondering what will resonate if/when Twitter really does shift into a place I no longer want to be.
