Titles required, yup
Must I have a title here? What if a paragraph suffices? Does this site allow for microblogging? So many questions!
Gathering thoughts…

A world of little thoughts.
Must I have a title here? What if a paragraph suffices? Does this site allow for microblogging? So many questions!
The reason people are mentally and physically ill are usually social and economic. People need friends and a feeling of belonging. They need a sense of purpose. Financial security. A safe home and hope for the future. I read a story about a group of lonely, anxious strangers who were tasked with restoring a park over…
This morning I rose at 11AM, which is typical for me on weekends. I did the usual brush and shower. After my first meal of the day, which I suppose would not exactly have been breakfast, I sat at the dining table with a cup of coffee. I felt a need to figure out what I was going to do. Meanwhile, I had begun browsing…
Imagine being a part of a moving circus, but always being a spectator. After all, the only people who get to be a part of a moving circus are the stunt folks, magicians, gymnasts. Spectators don't really move with the circus. Just 48 hours in Bombay, I've realized that my relationship with movies and the media…
The term "mastery" or become a "master" of X skill is being thrown around too lightly in recent years. Seems like everyone who writes marketing copy about an online course or other resource like it enjoys using the term a lot. For most it's not their fault. I agree that it sounds appealing for the user that's reading…
There were few mass shootings in the US over last couple of days and this got me thinking what could be the root causes of such a hideous act of crime. The incidents were given different names such as - gun violence, hate crime, domestic terrorism, white supremist attack etc. based on which media outlet you consume…
Life’s too short to be chasing someone who’s chasing someone else 🌙🌸
"Write what you know" suggests you already have starting material for saying something. As you begin to write what you know, hopefully you also begin to see what you don't know. So you do some research, re-evaluate what you know, and re-commence with your writing. The inverse is true, too. What you know is revealed in…
I've been thinking about how civilizations of the future would organize their data. What mechanism would a galaxy use to work together and share reliable information accurately and instantly? I started thinking about our own history and how we manage knowledge in our most complex societies. As much as sci-fi movies…
In life, shouldn't this be my goal? What can I do to make sure I wake up excited each day? How can I structure my future days to improve the probability of this happening for me and the people I care about? I won't share an answer (because I don't have one yet) but I'm confident this is a question worth asking.
It hit me today. The realization didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. (Like some people would say.) But it did arrive to my conscious awareness. What am I talking about? Well, the fact that people don't do that of taking time and space out of their mundane routine. Like what I can write in the following paragraphs can…
Here I plant my flag, in words three hundred, Each word is precious, they're exactly numbered; Of course, we could do like the ancient Greeks And write without the spaces -- we'd be freaks! But -- problem solved! We'd have limits no more. The host would think that I'm a writing drunkard -- In which case I'd certainly…
Do you dream of being a daily journaler? You may have the first two steps mastered, leaving just one more action to make your dream come true. Five years ago, I took on a job that required me to up my task management. I turned to Bullet Journaling. Each morning, I listed tasks to be completed. It worked like a charm.…
before i left italy, i was perfectly content. now that i've been to indonesia for 2 months, i am so fucking bored back in italy. my life in italy before we left consisted of: - friends (who are now kind of scattered) - books but half the books i was about to read are about tiny north american problems which seem so…
There is something strangely tender about being alive at the same time as everything else. About breathing while cities hum, seasons turn, people fall in and out of love, and the world continues without asking how you’re doing. We spend so much time believing we should have arrived somewhere by now. As though there is…
I never cease to wonder which part of us summons ourselves from the great and long distance of eternity, swim through the foggy, thick, kaleidoscope of our dreams only to wake up and wonder about what we're all doing here. Each night, before bed, my 7yo prepares for her nighttime journeys by choosing from among her…
I really, really tought that I was above all this situation. That I left all in the past and moved on. That I, as a grow up human been, got my shit together and solved my problems by myself and. But now it came back. It looks like a tsunami in my head and in my chest. A tsunami AND a thunderstorm. AND a earthquake.…
I was talking to someone I care for deeply. They didn’t see the need to write or journal. There is so much already out there to read. Why would they write? Who would read it? They don’t see what I do. You journal for the benefits. The benefits are hard to see unless you journal enough to experience them. My friend…
i've never felt there was a stronger case for being selfish. in a good way. like, for the first time, the demand side of the internet has outpaced the supply side. like it finally makes sense to just... be. and maybe that seems oddly specific, or convenient. a reason to realize what has always been true. or maybe it's…
This morning, I realized that we're already more than halfway through the year. It's crazy how quickly time passes, and each year it only seems to accelerate. As children, a single school year or a summer break felt like an eternity. Now, days and months slip by in the blink of an eye. Casey Neistat brilliantly…
Some need coffee to stay awake daily. Some don't. And some like me, can drink coffee and stay awake, yet quit and not feel sleepy. However, recently, when I go back to drinking coffee, I find my naps light and shallow and my sleep at night disturbed. They are just not as deep as not drinking coffee. So a thought just…
Hoje precisei ir aos correios. Toda vez que vou lá, caio com a mesma atendente que cavuca qualquer gancho para falar mal de Lula e pessoas correlatas. Estava com uma blusa escrita COP e ela se fez de desentendida: cop é um evento esportivo? Eu, já esperta, disse que não. Ao que ela completou fingindo surpresa: aaaaah,…
I get up every day to strive to be a better me and to grow daily. I get up to work hard and gain financial freedom and to be able to build a family and support them with no questions asked. I get up everyday because the love and support I get from being in such a lovely and healthy relationship. I get up everyday…
our existence is very bland and senseless, battling against the corrosive force of time. the dying of the light. it's very much like ingredients, which in and of themself do not make much sense. left to itself, it will decay without discrimination and we only have just enough time as everybody else to make any sense…
I had been thinking about writing this series for a long time, but I just would not manage to find the time to finally sit down and pen my thoughts. I think the procrastination was probably due to being in a constant state of extremes - either of hyper anxiety due to workload, or absolute boredom and laziness due to…
Culture is not something that is written in documents/slides or on walls. Culture is created during everyday moments during company building. Culture is the unspoken actions and behaviors of the team during daily operations. Culture starts with founders. Culture is the extension of founder's behavior and personality.…
It's the fourth quarter of 2023, and I chose to replenish my 6-month undated Roterunner planner - https://roterunner.com/products/purpose-planner - partly out of convenience, partly out of utility. Meanwhile, here's a list of planners which folks have shared -…
Know how to say no Why people don’t give a shit about what you say Because you don’t have the balls to say what you want to say And also you keep focusing on smaller cheapskate solutions If you want to say no at a last minute cancellation The trouble seems harder Of course it would take longer and harder to say once…
A serious daily journaler may have an extensive journaling routine. Three morning pages? They take 30 minutes or more, depending on writing/typing speed. A multiple-component journaling routine? My routine takes 20 to 45 minutes consisting of the following: gratitude, intent for the day, sometimes I need an…
I've been using the term "excuse" quite often lately, and much like many other areas of my life, I've spent some time unpacking what the word means, what connotations it has, and dissecting what it implies. Through this process, I've attempted to divorce my fairly negative value assignment and instead focus on a new…
Twitter is different from Instagram and YouTube because Twitter is where politics and journalism live. Journalists construct the world. The media world the rest of us live in. If you influence Twitter, you influence the ink that fills the pages of culture more broadly. TV producers and reporters are listening to what…
I didn't sell enough in the last cycle. I made too many long-term bets on projects that have not (🤞🏻yet🤞🏻) captured attention this cycle. Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ripple & Polygon, primarily. My thesis was that these are long-term projects/investments, and while most of them are in profit from where I bought, I…
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…
Praying in tongues is the super-power I wish I had known about earlier. Or, being honest, that I had used earlier.
I have three weeks until the first day of school, and the teaching dreams have already started. I don't mean aspirations and hopes kind of dreams; I mean REM sleep dreams. These dreams follow a predictable, yet challenging, pattern. A disruptive and defiant student is acting out, and it's severe enough that it must be…
i feel like ppl who doesn't know how to write, write "poetry" i want to try reading the bell jar even tho i'm against reading books by depressed people since depressed people can only speak from the point of view that life is pointless but i want to know what the fuss is about and i want to know how to dismiss it in…
I woke up today and found out that Azuki, a project that I've been bullish on since I discovered them has airdropped me 4 NFTs worth (currently on the market) 3ETH each. For believing in this project since the beginning, I got rewarded 40K... just like that. Feels like something that only happens in the NFT space. But…
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.…
there was a study with mice where "the mice have a lever that they can press any time they want. When they press the button, a special optical sensor, which controls specific neurons in their brain, activates their dopamine neurons" anyway they pressed the button until they died with no desire of food or drink if…
Sometimes we only miss something when it's gone, and then we feel an emptiness in its place. The art should be to be aware of this even before the void appears. To fully appreciate every moment while it's still present.
You should be asking yourself what’s the goal Else you’ll be working under G And problem with people like him is they never tell you their details They just want what they wanted People working under them won’t feel so appreciated and it’ll be in another words: pain in the ass You walk through IKEA finding yourself…
Hi all, this space caught my attention. Let's see how long do I continue writing here.
Ahhhh some days are experienced yet sit deep within my subconscious never to be recalled on. today could be one of those days...
Beneath vast open skies, Mountains stare and Oceans rise, A view serene, so complete, No walls, bounds or goals to meet.... Yet man, in folly, stakes his claim, Assigns to beauty, price and name, As if the earth, confined by gold Will reveal its beauty for the price its sold The lake reflects the moonlit glows, Waves…
Many eloquent words will have been spoken and written around the world today about this tragic day in Liverpool FC's history. Best just to use those of Rodgers and Hammerstein here. When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the…
Sono in campeggio, dormono tutti. Io sveglio da un'ora e mezza a pazzeggiare. Questo è il mio momento della giornata. Sono spaventato dal resto della giornata che sarà molto pesante! E' tutto così stancante. Vorrei essere solo!!!
there are some scenarios that people think of as "adventures" but that are NOT in fact adventures!!!! if you know how it's going to end, it's NOT an adventure!! like skydiving. not an adventure. true adventure is responding spontaneously to life's calls and not knowing where you'll end up i have a sense of adventure…
It’s Saturday. I should be grading homework and unit assignments. I have a master’s portfolio proposal to write (separate, apparently, from the actual master's thesis I wrote last semester). I have grad school homework to do. Instead, I’m on the couch. My youngest child has his legs draped over mine; he’ll follow me…
