Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Today's 14th Feb, 2023. I'm 10 days away from turning 25. I watched a 40 min yt vid about a college senior's coming out story. I didn't know him, he was a friend of a friend. He seemed pretty sorted from the distance, hence the struggles he talked about in the video made me wonder how much more there is than meets the…
- tao lin + andy warhol + terence mckenna as Worshipped Rebel Gods - harnessing a type of energy - my fav podcast [i laughed on the bus] - people who give me the feeling of "mm i like that" when they talk about their lives - funneling the energies i like into my life honestly energy is a thing you can touch and see it…
Disclaimer : this might feel like a let down if you were expecting profound insights. Assumption : increased screen time reduces the evolutionary fitness of a person (yes yes that is debatable) Children who have had seizures are advised to restrict their screen time, because flickering lights can induce a seizure…
the songs that excite me for gig night: - somebody else - she's so high (like she's so hiiiigh, high above me) i think two song is enough i don't want to bore them
hj é feriado aqui onde eu moro acordei 5h da manhã com a cachorra gritando com o dog dela filhote. bati a janela, coloquei protetor auricular e voltei a dormir com a promessa de que acordaria às 7h pra tomar meu remédio contra infecção urinária que entrou por umas das janelas de estresse. veja, colocar protetor…
Another question I’ve been wondering lately: can a woman who only reads in German ever read Ulysses? Can a woman who only reads in Chinese ever read Virginia Woolf? Can I ever read any of the Russian texts? I believe the answer is rather obvious but I also think it’s sometimes better not to read a thing in its…
If you could get all of your wasted past. How much time would you have? Would it be enough to start over.
liberal societies such as Europe unequivocally call for abolishing death penalty, arguing that it violates the fundamental right - the right to life. further, it is also argued that emotional impulse for revenge does not justify capital punishment, neither is there evidence to support that death penalty is a potent…
aren't you afraid, that you'll get so good at controlling your emotions, that you'll become impervious to pleasure?
(original: 2006 03 April) tasks and priorities constantly change. learn how to prioritize. - Silver Lining somewhat related to (or contributing to the antithesis of) SL Tip 7, prioritizing is critical when on the job. (actually, it's basically similar to making decisions about how to spend your money ... but wait!…
DAY 1/90 - 16:00 My loved ones seem to have reduced hope in me? just feels that way, I cried a lot till I was tired of crying. The atmosphere feels so strange. I am really really broke and will be having only 2 meals this week till my salary gets credited. I am back to feeling pathetic and numb. Gonna to a 3 month…
....Haha got you! You're welcome to read this even if you're not a swimmer, with the disclaimer that the sentences will meander with almost no meaning and most certainly put you to sleep! However, if you've spent a better part of your childhood training in a 25 or 50 meter pool, some of this may be relatable, so read…
Eu me sinto um ET quando depois de um dia inteiro de trabalho intenso, não tenho energia para ir pra bar e ficar bebendo até 22h, sendo que eu sei que preciso acordar amanhã de novo às 6h e pouca da manhã... Onde essas pessoas (a maioria) arranja energia para fazer isso? Sinto que vim com um defeito de fábrica. Hoje…
hearts are complicated organs. when i wanted to become a surgeon, i knew i'd choose neurosurgery. there was something - something i haven't still defined - something the world hasn't yet uncovered - that makes a mind make a heart. complicated, isn't it? we look for answers where we know there are none. we wait when we…
I have been sitting here on my couch for about 45 minutes attempting to write something. I obviously got started (as you are reading this now), but I'm curious about what took me so long. I'm very distracted. So many more things were interesting to me than writing 300 words on this blank page. Here's everything that…
I believe in the power of swiping. I believe it is a song continually singing left or flipping right, delighting in the minor and major of it all and the fall of the green and the birth of the ice and the magnificent way we all stop to think twice about our lives, our dreams, our reams of baroque reasoning our ways…
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…
Okay, it's 2022 and i'm 45 y/o and i still don't know what i want to do with my life. I wonder if surviving and not to be a burden is good enough goals.
I kind of want to read Holzfällen twice, in German then in English because I feel that the voice is completely different. perhaps I should read Murakami again, in Japanese. or try to... Philip Gabriel's translations of Murakami is such a special voice and I really really enjoy it but what does Murakami actually sound…
The paradox of life is, It gives,the lightness of joy and the burden of pain; and takes,so we may learn the worth of what was given. Every gift of joy or burden of sorrow, arrives with the promise of its leaving. And though we may celebrate or grieve its passing, It was never meant to be kept....only experienced. Time…
One of the surprising facts I learns was that YouTube are now doing up to 2Mbps H.264 Video for 1080P content. And the quality is quite impressive for Internet Video. And the world doesn't seems to want to save bandwidth from Audio Codec, vast majority of it are using 256Kbps AAC / Opus rather than 128Kbps. As…
I recently read an article by the creator of Gumroad, Sahil Lavingia, discussing their work values and how this has influenced Gumroad’s journey (no pun intended). It made me think about what I want for my business as it grows, and what my own values and expectations are. Like Lavingia, I believe in embracing the…
I love just how quiet this interface is.
When it comes to marketing, I'm confused about the 'who'. Conventional internet wisdom says you should pick a tight niche. But the reality for most successful products is that they cater to more than one type of person. Think Canva, or Uber, or Freshdesk, or Basecamp...do any of these market to a specific niche? The…
ایکیگای ۴ محور اصلی دارد. کارهایی که دوست داریم انجام دهیم، کارهایی که در آنها مهارت داریم، کارهایی که از آنها میتوانیم کسب درآمد کنیم و در نهایت کارهایی که جهان به آنها نیاز دارد. از چه کاری هیچ وقت خسته نمیشویم؟ چه مواقعی خیلی خوشحال هستیم؟ هنگام انجام چه کاری گذر زمان را متوجه نمیشویم؟ در گذشته چه کاری ما را سر…
To understand a system, you must define its boundaries, forming its own “universe.” While we often think of individuals as separate from their environment, in reality, they are deeply interconnected. Evolutionary constraints highlight this relationship: organisms are shaped by and respond to their surroundings. The…
I saw this prayer for someone and it seems similar to what I pray for you. So edited it a bit to make it suit you and to how I usually pray. Here's my prayer for you: God please save him Heal his heart and protect his glory Expand his mind and bless his story Help me protect his peace no matter what he's enduring Keep…
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?
Pemuda ini bernama Timoteo Rhousdy. Tak pernah ia tahu kapan sesungguhnya ia lahir, kapan sebenarnya namanya hadir, dan kapan pula ia akan tahu siapa sejatinya orang tua kandungnya. Berkat kemuliaan hati sepasang suami-istri Teguh Fransiskus Rhousdy dan Anneke Lim, Timo—begitu panggilannya—diangkat menjadi anak bungsu…
I was robbing myself by multitasking. I thought by multitasking, I was getting more done. I could check off the boxes and move on to ... more multitasking. Every task was stressful. I was robbing myself of enjoying the process of completing any task. Now I’m consciously trying to be present in what I choose to do at a…
If I could just tune out these distractions, I'll be fine, I told myself. It wasn't just the gadgets. It was the people in my life. The constant, oppressive need to make money. Deleting apps on my phone and turning off notifications was the easiest step. Eventually, I ended up quitting my job. I told myself I needed a…
ahhhhh i feel to create a more relatable design it helps to introduce imperfection. it provides the end user to continue the process of creation making the outcome more unique...
Hoje eu comecei meu dia um pouco mais tarde. Era 9h e eu ainda estava preparando para tomar banho. Fui bem devagar e bela para um brunch no Copa Cozinha enquanto eu participava do clube do livro. Esse não era o plano. Eu parei antes no café bonjour PORÉM gente eu me recuso a pagar 20 reais num cafezinho só porque…
By age 27, all of us have become scarred by our experiences to some extent. I can see that most of us have done things that we regret, have reacted in ways that we shall not anymore, now that we are stronger, better wiser. Is part of growing up also just learning to make peace with past mistakes and past regrets? I…
O último gole de álcool que tomei foi na virada do ano. Prometi começar 2023 aderindo a um detox alcoólico, aqui chamado de "Dry January", campanha que muita gente abraça no começo do ano ao lado do "Veganuary", mas eu achei muita coisa para dar conta e só abracei a primeira. "Beber menos álcool" está sempre nas…
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, ❤️
Intuition is subconscious pattern matching. When your gut tells you something feels right, it's often smart to listen, even if you can't rationalise your reasoning. However, there are situations where listening to your gut is a dumb idea. Here are a few rules I try to follow, although I usually fail: (1) Don't rely…
My first post here. Exploring So far so good. I <3 nicheless's clean interface 0 bloat.
Ahh revealing a piece of my personality. it was scary at first, but once released, i was surprisingly calm. i now exists...
People don’t like getting sick, but I do. Getting something like the cold has several stages. First, there’s the feeling that it’s coming. Then you’re actually sick—the low point. After a while, you start getting better. It’s the getting better part that makes me like getting sick. Why is it enjoyable, exactly? You…
Have a different flavour One room has mismatched socks Another, discarded earrings And yet another a space on a pillow. The kitchen is silent too Empty vessels that make no sound Wine and water turned to stains On spoons and rims of glasses. And the flowers on the balcony Nod silently And bloom regardless. December…
Happy Halloween. May your candy bucket be full and the odds ever be in your favor.
Às vezes ela chega sorrateira, se acomoda como se estivesse na sua própria casa e vai ocupando cada espaço... quando nos damos conta, ela está toda esparramada, tomando conta do lugar como se fosse dela. Você tenta expulsá-la, mas ela bate o pé e fica. É destemida a ponto de começar a mandar na casa. Não te deixa…
Gotta be living the best at every moment. Ang mo vs Asian mentality Do you like yourself at this second? Would you be liking yourself if you were someone else? You don’t need to decrease your energy level to match the same as PS You need to stay focus and be focus Not thinking of something else dirty with her You need…
I never fail to have something to be grateful for. How can this be? My life is ordinary. I have a good life, with a home, food, and health. My ordinary doesn't look like your ordinary. For all of us many days look almost identical. You can only write the same thing in your gratitude journal so many times, right? The…
The title sounds cliched, but is so true. My current read, Four Thousand Weeks - Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman is peppered with gems in the first three chapters. Phrases like Stubborn Gladness, Bright Sadness and Sober Joy jump off the pages. These describe what a cancer survivor feels when they come…
They say that if you die at home, your cats won't even wait until your cold until they start eating you. I'm completely fine with that. It means my cats will survive until someone finds me/them and looks after them. Is this a weird first post on here? Oh well.
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…
