Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
He came to see me, Even if I forgot. He was the inspiration, Behind every lovely shot. He always sat there, Fulfilled and lone. Beholding me gracefully, He jollied and shone. I remember spending nights, Thinking of him on my roof. I crave this gorgeous- He lives aloof. I ask the ones whom he met, Is he the same he…
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…
Hola querido lector, lectora. Estoy a las 3:31 am de un domingo desde un lugar en México escribiendo este texto. Gracias por leerme, por suscribirte. Desde hace varios meses he estado buscando un lugar dónde escribir. Twitter me parece un lugar al que ya no merece la pena invertir mucho tiempo. En los últimos años…
Few things offend me more than ignorance masquerading as knowledge. “In our polarised world, a productive disagreement is a rare occurrence. People would rather talk to a stranger who shares their political views than a friend who doesn’t. That’s a travesty.” When you preach, you’re trying to convert people to your…
I'm cooking pasta al ragù and it's going fairly well. It's not my first time, everybody is happy when I make it, everybody seems to love it. I'm not a great cook and not a stickler for detail. I'm currently stirring the sauce in the pan and at the same time stirring the noodles in the pasta pot, I'm doing it with the…
When you were a child, this was a recurrent scene: It's Sunday, all your family gathers around the table to have breakfast. Your mother is pouring the coffee and your father is reading the paper. You see him scanning the pages, looking for something that grabs his attention. He reads and nods a few times, doing some…
When hunter-gatherers discovered fire, they would have felt it was magic. But now, when we look at fire, we just see it as a normal thing. In recent times, there are a lot of AI tools popping up. When looking at tools like ChatGPT, it feels like magic, but in another five years, it will become a normal thing, like…
timeless, you would be working more overtime, over time.
Focusing is like a mythological beast to me, something you heard of from many but never saw with your own eyes. Whenever I decide to start my study session, even if I feel my willpower strong as a rock, i quickly lose everything, finding myself staring at the void of a white wall. My productivity has vanished and I…
it would have been cool. me & you, the chance at romance. i think you would like it. i wish -- just let me know.
In February 2024, I opened an account on 750words.com — a private journal for free-writing, where the goal is simple: write at least 750 words, every day. As I typed, I noticed a short lag between pressing a keyboard key and the letter appearing on screen. The lag was subtle, but erratic enough to start grabbing my…
Did I mention this anon stream has been going on for 4 months? When I found it through the 'Random' feature, I pinned it right before it swapped to the next random streamer. And I've been returning to it every night to check for updates. Some posts in the stream have words in Spanish and others in Japanese. I do not…
It began back in early march of 2024. I'd just returned from my birthday trip to Iceland. My partner at the time, recently unemployed had come along for the trip. I'd already felt some resentment from having to pay for everything on my own birthday trip, though the trip was my idea, so this wasn't justified. Upon…
Eu demorei tanto tempo pra voltar aqui que tive que logar novamente. Depois da morte da Glória Maria passei uns dias derrubada, e não apenas por isso, que por si só já é uma grande coisa. Lembro que fui com um crush comer Burger King e não consegui me concentrar em nada do que ele dizia sobre divisão de contas em date…
My day feels more like wake up, exist, sleep and wake up again! During the day, looking at emails as I wake up, commuting to and back work, working and handling calls till I sleep off, limited socialization with family and friends, zero leisure activity other than TV. Even on weekends, I think the familiarity of the…
You might be a lifeline in a social setup but lifeless underneath, you have a gallery full of smiling selfies but you don't have one smile for yourself everyday.You have a phone full of contacts but you don't want to dial to any one. When you try to analyse yourselves you come to conclusions like I am an introvert, I…
Similar or familiar. Like-minded. Something old and new. Wabi Sabi. Perfection. A gift from me to you. Happy memories. Warm fuzzies. Like a nod to the golden. Best friends. Your favourite jumper. Positivity. Feeling eternally soulful. Confidence in dressing. Lace up. Your humble tribe. Where kindness shared, is…
Intelligent people will put themselves in positive situations When they answer questions They will put them to a better position Not lesser than before (like giving people doubting you) So face is a problem too - sometimes by the agave you can see Intelligent people put themselves in a good position too - even w their…
So I happened upon marketing by accident. I began my career as a psychological researcher. I was in charge of putting out flyers to attract people with major depressive disorder to a study where they could receive free treatment. One day, I was instructed to put fliers in doctor's office waiting rooms, cars in parking…
Perceptions give me the benefit of the doubt with an unseen cost
being the nice guy is not going to get you anything. you think you are doing people good but no you are just killing yourself bit by bit. people will go on doing what they want to do. hurt you. worse, not even care about you. people are just trauma. you got to be an asshole to get what you want. put your own needs…
Day-3 of my 30 day atomic essay streak. In essay-2, I wrote about the concept of mindful repetition. Quick recap: It's a repetition of a simple actions that moves a system towards stability and makes it sophisticated with time. This sits very well with personal habit formation a.k.a building daily life systems (DLS).…
Today morning I awoke with the dial of time cinched around my waist. As I folded my sheets, made my bed, brushed my teeth, I felt the seconds tick around me and subsequently my throat closed up. Not a good thing to happen, especially, when your mouth is full of toothpaste and a brush. Very absurdly I felt like 15…
I saw the movie, the score stole the show, and Zuck was in my memory, not cool. life carried on and being snide about Facebook and Mark became easy and status quo. Then I read a a blog and the author remarked about how smart Mark was and how he was the fastest learning she ever met. And I thought to myself “have I…
Running around my neighborhood has made me bitter. I see piles of trash on the side of the road and I tell myself a story about people that don't care. I see more and trash and I feel more anger. What can I do? What control do I have? The same control I tell my kids that they have - I can only control myself. So I'm…
vriendschap door de jaren prachtig weer voorspeld aimabele gebaren door armen warm gekneld zorgen voor hierna wanorde vandaag verjaardag na verjaardag rijping van het grijs een nieuwe tijd van leven sneeuwklok in het gras kameraden niet voor even bier op het terras /28oktober2022
I used to think it was. Most of us get conscious if someone asks us about our hobbies, or what we like to do for fun. Do we wonder if we're the only ones not doing more? Some of us grew up in environments where education was the topmost priority. Everything else took a backseat. We may have stopped pursuing a hobby we…
The people you love and care about make you want to go out and be present. In the past, I preferred to stay at home, lock myself away, and avoid socializing. But this changed with the right people. True friends, a loving family, and loved ones make you proactive, eager to make memories and go out, I don't feel lazy at…
When a technologist designs a solution for a specific community, particularly one they live in, unintended consequences are more manageable. But when that same solution is massively scaled, we have to carefully consider three concepts: 1. The technologies we create reflect what we value, but they don’t necessarily…
There's some quote out there which says that things which converge will diverge and vice versa. I feel we humans are in a divergent phase today. You can see signs of it all around - rise of nationalism in countries like US, India, UK, high tensions between superpowers like the US and China, outright war in Ukraine -…
If someone were to actually see how I'm doing this right now, they'll realise that the question isn't rhetorical. I'm dictating this to be transcribed directly on screen. I like this kind of dictation-transcription because I'm very used to doing this in my daily professional work. I know some purists among journalers…
we started the day with a to-do list of "things we can tolerate doing today plus some things that seem pretty necessary" just items flying out of our mouths - drain, fill, drain, fill, drain, fill water tank - return packages - laundry - replace thermostat and so on and i have done TWO things and now i am taking a…
A dream is like a seed in a garden. The right conditions must exist for a seed to achieve its full potential. The environment must yield the right amount of water, sunlight, air, nutrients. A gardener initiates the process and works with nature to sustain it. With dreams, we mistakenly believe that everything is up to…
Every self contains multitudes. It can be helpful to sort these elements of self into defined parts. This can help you conceptualise these competing and contradictory bits of you. One distinction that’s been super helpful to me is the child and parent, the maiden and knight, the experiencer and the agent. Separating…
i've been talking to a newish friend a lot lately and i am getting oversaturated with him! SATT. gnuag g'ha he is great in some ways; tenacity of spirit, willingness to try, writes great music but my god i know other people with spirit, willingness and talent and who ALSO have verbal intelligence and philosophical…
Seriously? It makes me cringe when I hear people say this re: political violence, insurrectionism, or far-right extremism. I mean, I was watching TV on January 6th just like you were. Pretty clearly, that was us. Here's the thing: That's always been us, at least in part. We've always been more than one people. What's…
It's counterintuitive but I think it's true. We struggle to find time to stretch our creative muscles. But modern creativity doesn't come with more freedom. It comes with more restriction. Think of Morning Pages. It became wildly successful among creative professionals because it forces you to write 3 pages. No more,…
some of the first things that i want to read now, before i really start reading a book, is the "about the author" section and i've noticed that it is usually like - birth year - birth place - current place of residence and it's like: why? why is this the info they choose to share? and when talking about artists of any…
26 May 2022 0342 I'm on a date with a woman I don't know IRL. We're walking around in the south side of my home town and go into an old bank building I used to frequent. It's a combination library, pool hall & convenience store. There's a yellow & black strip down the middle of the floor dividing the room in half -…
Dear Habibti, Nobody knows tomorrow. We might get back together, or we might not. We might get married, or we might not. But I just want you to know that I have never felt the kind of oneness I felt with you with anyone before. You are special to me. I love you and I always will.
You're a man, 1. Wake up early. 2. Pray. 3. Make your bed. 4. Brush your teeth. 5. Drink a glass of water. 6. Review your to-do list. 7. Meditate. 8. Read. 9. Write. 10. Lift. 11. Stay sober. 12. Increase your income. Nothing hurts a man like zero progress in his life.
You know the second question we ask anyone we meet, after of course asking for their name. It is inherently understood, we are asking if they have a job and how they make a living. It's a weird way to put it no? "What do you do?". Is work the only thing that we do? Don't we all play many many roles in our lives? But…
Today was tough. But here I am, staying true to the promise I made to myself – to write and publish something new at least five times a week. Problem is I don't have anything to write about. The goal was to read, learn, and write about the difference between Aetiology vs Teleology. But anxiety had different plans.…
I am the type who like analogies. I understand things better with analogies. I am aware that this type of thinking is not dynamic, and perhaps out of touch with reality. But as a thought exercise i enjoy doing this in my head. sometimes it helps me avoid bad startup ideas outright. And many times it makes me believe a…
Time always passed by Those always “don’t have time” probably have something wrong on their system, or discipline that doesn’t allow them to have time management Even if you work out on self discipline Now you gotta think what is critical and good use of your time Don’t let others dictate what you should do with your…
“I’m through with this fuckin war, through with marchin in the dust, through with gettin shot at. I’m done, I’m goin’ home,” spouted Jenkins as he got up from the fire. “Quit bein’ a pussy, ain’t one of us here that don’t wanna be home” countered Carlton. “I ain't no pussy.” “Sure acting like one.” “Evenin’ boys”…
One of the best parts about my time in university was the people I met. Even though we were all very different people and quite literally, came from different places, I feel we were on a similar wavelength. We cared about similar things and as we discussed our varying points of view, we moved forward and deeper…
To quote John Biggs: "Ok now what." Seriously though, I like this vast empty space with just a black text thing. Good stuff.
