Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Persist, For this cloud too Shall pass. Well, what can I say except that I have old school work ethic. But this mindset is certainly rewarding - not necessarily in terms of material success, but certainly in terms of mental peace. Persistence. To persist is to stay on despite the odds. Persistence derives its energy…
What happens when the community and beliefs that helped shape our minds and lives start to fail us? When the questions start to accumulate and remain unanswered or unacknowledged, a gap starts to form. If we’re fortunate enough, the community recognizes this and starts building bridges. If not, we’re forced to jump…
I tend to resist structure as it feels like a slippery slope to conformity. But as more and more of life consists of simply changing tabs or apps on a fixed screen, it's easy to get lost without any sense of beginning or end. We talk about feeling stuck because of our 9-5s, and tout the benefits of blending work and…
Hoje eu fui na festa de aniversário de uma colega de trabalho. Super novinha ela, esqueci de perguntar a idade, mas não passa dos 23 anos. Linda, solar, alto astral, com tudo pela frente. Feliz de estar perto de gente jovem que ainda não perdeu a esperança na vida. Refresca e renova real!! Ela escolheu o parque…
Eventually, it's a world of one. I don't mean this in a nihilistic, pessimistic, or even a narcissistic way. I just mean that eventually, it's a world of one. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does give me the occasional existential crisis. Now that I'm starting a venture of my own, I'm more empathetic…
'FOMO', although a very gen-z term ,is somewhere a deep rooted fear of many. As, no matter what, grass always seems to be greener on the other side. All these apps such as instagram, snapchat, netflix etc are thriving because they instill fomo in individuals. The world has too much to offer and one wants to grab it…
I'm 27 years old and I haven't experienced a lot of things. You'd be surprised to know how many of them are small things. Last weekend, I went to bowling for the first time. 🎳 I had a proper hair spa for the first time. 💆♀️ I smoked for the first time. 🍀 I almost solved my first mystery in an escape room. In one…
Cara, vou começar pelo sonho. Com frequência eu sonho com comida. Mas não são sonhos normais. São sonhos mega realistas, tão realistas que eu sinto o gosto das comidas e acordo louca querendo aquilo. O sonho da vez foi com um bolo de chocolate. O processo da receita envolvia maracujá, manga e, claro, o chocolate. Um…
A classic blocker is the idea of your siblings reading what you wrote (i.e. that thing you thought in a certain circumstance): that is pure deep terror.
I mean I have been saying this on HN for so many years. Again PPC ( Performance Per Clock ) is not the sole factor to consider. A much better method would be Performance per watt over different wattage. The 7840HS is Zen 4 on 4nm while i7-13700H Raptor Lake on Intel 7. Worth noting we expect the first, super wide x86…
It all depends on you Never have the slavery mindset You might be smart and be good at your job But what you believed in And your guts to stay true Stay logical and see things through Do not use emotional Don’t count on motivation Use logical Count on discipline As long as you put your effort into ANYTHING Including…
I know that "Your brAnding is mOre tHan jusT Your logo" is a tired phrase of the 21st century design world and everyone seems to be throwing it around like confetti in a feeble attempt to add depth to their content. And while I'm here to mock it with you, I'm also here to be a party pooper and say it's true. Just…
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.…
Hoje eu tava mt ocupada de manhã. O que me traz para o texto do dia quase 22hrs. Meu processo tem sido assim: abro aqui e escrevo o que tem na minha cabeça. Por isso que alguns textos ficam parecendo um bolo que deu errado, mas tô curtindo. Bom, comecei a morar sozinha em dezembro de 2021. Eu já tinha morado fora da…
I have rejoined the Linking Your Thinking (LYT) cohort. Currently in Workshop 9, I am serving as a mentor, as well as enjoying updates the founder and host, Nick Milo, has created. An exercise from yesterday's first live super session (via Zoom, of course) included "STIRring knowledge" - Space, Time, Importance,…
The most recent film I watched was her. It was beautiful, not just the story but the cinematography. I'll be writing these little blogs about the movies I've watched and love. I don't intend for it to be a review or an analysis. I only intend to write down how it made me feel. her. I was doubtful about the emotional…
Yes, the freedom is great. You can set your own time, your own rate - which is usually higher than an employee, and you can work on exciting stuff. But most of the time, it is very mercenary. You are not a part of the community that surrounds the project. You weren't there when it was only an idea, and often you're…
Writing is something I enjoy doing. Not because it's easy. It's hard, so hard I always avoid it. But It gives me a sense of improvement or fulfillment. ever since I've read "How to take smart notes", I've been writing more and more, for myself. At one point, I wonder "why do I write?" To learn, to think better. So…
i have been continuing a visual style for over a year now, developing it further with each iteration. the world of narcissus; a delicate focus around oneself and their desires. what defines this world? the context to the world is irrelevant so it is not present in many creations. the water expanding to the horizon…
Every successful entrepreneur Find their own set of problems Not waiting for someone to tell the problem And move No they know how to get there Knowledge is a form of power. You can see that in meetings, in conversations Who’s the most outspoken and displayed confident Has known how to direct their words And ensure…
Li A hora da estrela, de Clarice Lispector e hoje discuti no clube do livro sobre como a obra me tocou. Também me pergunto com frequência se sou um monstro ou isso é ser uma pessoa, Clarice, por ir contra minha criação principalmente. Ver uma pessoa tão simples economizando a vida, repetindo crenças que não fazia…
I don't even know Why am I here HE didn't tell me Just left me in fear To figure it out For myself Without making sure That it is all clear This is not fair In any which way What else is to be done Someone who knows Please come And quickly tell me The direction to be taken Whether to go This way or that one This is…
Knowledge sets us free, art sets us free. A great library is freedom. -Ursula Guin. Public libraries are where we witness the entirety of human existence. The youngest members create their imaginations while the oldest are constantly trying to understand the present and future. The middle aged are upskilling…
It’s funny how many arguments are essentially semantics and can be made into total nonsense if you play taboo. Another big category seems to be essentially arguing about various axes of morality. “You hate the rich and yet you drive an SUV which is bad for the environment? sus!” But these are two different axes. You…
Everyone loves trees. Planting a tree is universally positive and wholesome. It invokes an image of care and nurture. Hands full of dirt, investing in the promise of a green, fruitful future. Add to this picture, a 2019 study published in Nature claiming that planting a trillion trees could capture a third of the…
Casey Neistat moved back to NYC in September and started putting out YouTube videos again. His recent videos all center around the chaotic rawness of NYC. We see a place brimming of energy. It's buzzing. It's shaking. The people are all main characters. You watch the videos, and you can't help but fall in love with…
Sometimes, we hesitate to uncover why we love certain things, fearing that understanding the reasons might lessen our enjoyment. But in reality, it’s not just about liking that particular thing—it’s about how it connects with our identity. Having “our thing” gives us comfort and a sense of self. Identifying the why…
Curiosity Motivates. And when it’s satiated, the motivation dissipates. Motivation is a minor fuel injection — it simply helps course correct. It’s what the coach uses in the locker room to bolster the team for the second half. It's the climax for the movies. It's cinematic. But it doesn’t sustain. Follow through is…
My journey with gratitude grows like wildflowers. It's like a packet of mixed seeds. You don't know what kind until they bloom. My simple gratitude habit bloomed into other complementary characteristics. I’ve often written about how my gratitude practice makes me look for the positive in my life. Something that seems…
It's one of those experiences that tell people how 'further' and 'farther' they are from the ones around them every day. You see laborers, officegoers, businessmen, students, people from different parts of the country, from different countries, and more. Today, I sat beside a laborer, and my financial woes suddenly…
When I touch my thumb and my index finger together, if feel a sensation. I can try to convey my experience to you in words. Pressure, skin, temperature, bones, soft, hard. These are just words. We love words, that's why were are here on nicheless. But in no way, you can ever know what this sensation feels like for me.…
i once had a piano student who had glenn gould energy a little baby of 7 or 10 years old and he told me he only plays the piano to impress girls i thought so young...and he already knows what life is about.
The room was silent and my body was motionless. But my mind was agitated. I’d been sitting cross-legged on the floor for over an hour, with sweat dripping down my brow, and intense pain radiating from my knees. It felt like they were being crushed by giant invisible fists that were provoked by my stillness. I needed a…
ppl dream so small. every comment on every live performance of every artist says "i want to go to their concert". not i. i want them to sing this to me privately in the fucking shower. matt healy. "robbers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu2QXKDNoWs this. in the fucking shower. let's go.
Today has been another day of just constant “Shivani-nelson” static. On top of that, I saw a slack ping from Varun (top boss) on a thread, where he directly addressed me. Here’s me noting down how my body reacted to it; 1. Immediate heart rate increase 2. Sinking feeling in my stomach 3. Thoughts in my mind about -…
I recently watched a viral clip of a podcast in which Tyler Cowen asks Marc Andreessen about the concrete advantage of web3. Marc attempts to explain, but doesn't do anywhere close to as good a job as you'd expect him to. And the skeptics loved it. That got me thinking - I've been bullish about web3 for quite a while;…
the act of cooking alone fills my appetite, I guess I'd been picturing eating it so much that I got full is this true also of sex and love? that the thought of sex fills you such that you have no more room for love? i made tom yum soup and realized that the secret is a ton of lime juice this is the "essence" of tom…
In the foggy winter of 2011, my father constantly nudged me towards a tennis class, just two blocks from home. He was concerned for my fitness, as I had, for over three years, preferred the digital companionship of my PSP over evenings outside with neighborhood friends. A crisp, filled-out form for Penguin School's…
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…

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"
Something I have learnt about myself. I was always confused about why I was an F in MBTI. I thought I was through and through T. I overthink all the time, don’t I? But I now realise that I’m very dependent on my feelings, and they really dictate my life. For example, I can think something, it can make a lot of…
Sometimes when I look at something that I have written, I can't believe I thought of these words. These words, they just come to me. I have to put pen on paper and give it form. I feel like a messenger at times. The universe or some cosmic force whispering to me. Sometimes these words don't feel like mine. I never…
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tech industry made two inferences that broadly informed strategy: - Software is now going to eat the world at a massively increased rate - Many people now like to work remotely and have a better work/life balance The industry accepted this as a package deal: fine,…
I have always been anxious when presenting, I even get this increase in body temperature when I answer questions in big classes. But, for some reason I have been feeling comfortable when presenting in class, the groups are small and personalized, there is no pressure from teachers, because for them by doing the task…
1. What's something that puts a smile on your face instantly? 2. Who's that someone you look forward to sharing the good news as soon as you receive it? 3. If money and responsibilities are taken out of the equation, would you still live in the same city? 4. What's your favourite childhood memory? 5. Do you feel…
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, falls victim to the shiny new object syndrome. In the world of tools for thought (aka TfT) or personal knowledge management (aka PKM), this is doubly true. Every other week there is a new tool that promises to deliver EXACTLY what you are looking for. How could you not try it out, right?…
It snowed today. During the school year, snow means the possibility of a snow day or at least a late start. Snow falls so softly, blanketing the ground in silence. My desire to stay inside to enjoy the scenery from the shelter of a warm home is strong. If I were many years younger I would want to run out to be the…
