Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Mais uma rede social? Mais uma "plataforma"? Pois é, eu me defini como um "arroz de festa" em uma conversa, alguns dias atrás. Toda rede social ou plataforma de comunicação que aparece eu tenho curiosidade de conhecer e experimentar. No fim, acabo usando mesmo só umas poucas, e cada vez mais raramente. Mas quando tive…
I am trying to listen to my body. I continued to be exhausted today, so I fell asleep, I took breaks, and I said no to things that I could. I also limited time spent on WhatsApp. I think that was really helpful. Additionally, I had tried to limit my interaction with other apps, etc while I work on some stuff. I still…
if i wanted to lie to you, i'd say the storm inside you will settle. it will not. see the thing no one tells us about storms is that they're not meant to destroy. i think a storm was a child whose mother never held his hand when he was scared. or maybe the storm didn't know how to tell his mother that he was scared.…
I love non fiction. The Master & His Emissary by Ian McGilchrist is ideal, a fascinating study of the brain and how it works. If you are interested in creativity it’s a gold mine. Sadly I can’t say the same for fiction. Of course I SHOULD appreciate the works of great authors but impatience kicks in, pages gets…
na tentativa de RESOLVER (coisa que amo e sou viciada em) os milhares de pensamentos que me rondam todo dia estou aqui. já tentei 130 mídias papel post it páginas matinais, nada me parece muito sincero, sempre me edito e tento deixar mais polido do que é na mente. sendo um pouco cria da internet vai que aqui me sinto…
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
Its 16/Apr/2023 I have entered a weird patch in life where I dont know what I feel. I am turning 25 and that's not making anything better. Its been more than half a year I escaped an extremely abusive family and the trauma still lingers on. Too broke to have a therapist. It feels horrible, I feel like I am fighting…
Hoje eu acordei um pouco mais tarde, tomei meu banho, lavei meu cabelo, escovei os dentes, coloquei uma roupa que logo se mostrou o look errado pro sol que ia sair depois das 10h da manhã e fui mais uma vez para o mercado central. Desta vez, para comer pão de queijo com pernil desfiado e, pasmem, queijo da canastra.…
I procured a taxi driver poster at 18. It followed me everywhere since then, much like loneliness did with De Niro in the same movie. The poster was perhaps a silent token of my acknowledgement of my struggles with loneliness. Upon graduating, presuming that perhaps loneliness would no longer follow me, I left my…
We as a society have always glorified selflessness. Selfless by definition means : concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own. Whereas selfishness is lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. We do our jobs because we either like…
We hadn't formally launched Trilegal yet when my friend Vinay, who was with a law firm in London, called. It was early March 2000. Him: "Have you guys opened for business yet?" Me: "Why do you ask?" Him: "Because I have a deal for you." Me, struggling to hide excitement: "Well yes, then we're open." This was a…
I've been quick to dismiss most books as too long. Here's my logic: Books need to be thick enough for customers to feel like they're getting their money's worth at a bookstore. Hence, publishers create incentives that result in books being 10X longer than they should be. However, I recently discovered an added benefit…
Pari hey. Let’s be real. Are you feeling bad that Shivani is dating Nelson? And if so, why? I think yes, I am. And maybe it’s because I’m feeling like her liking nelson enough to date him is like her taking his side? This person, whom I carry so much grudge and dislike and disrespect for, my own best friend (Who I was…
Humans are weird, they kill each other for a thing that brings people together .Now unlike Stranger Things , this thing isn't so strange . In Fact it is quite common all around the world. That thing is religion. Religion was supposed to bring peace , hope and harmony among people . Now unlike our mouth, there are many…
I have remained fascinated with the sea, ocean and pretty much all sorts of water bodies since a child and my interest is piqued when I hear any story about the mythologies surrounding the sea. The foundation for this was laid as a child when I visited the aquarium on Marine Drive. Housed in an art deco building, the…
It’s been several years since I made the decision to bid farewell to my excess body fat. My journey towards a more active lifestyle began during those days. Prior to that, the thought of being physically active didn’t interest me much. Simply walking to the subway or bus station and occasionally taking a taxi…
I'm sitting in my garden enjoying the last moments in my house, fresh air, tranquil and great weather. Time goes by so fast, feels like last week when I would come back to school to this feeling.
Following routines are the easiest way to build a new habit. If your new habit is journaling, to reduce the daily struggle by using a format as part of your routine. As a beginner, you don't know your ultimate format. Start with a simple format to increase your chance of consistency. More complex formats can come…
To look back at this year, I need to go back further, starting with 2007. I have a tainted memory of a late night wrestling with my thoughts, I seem to remember thinking to myself that I was insulated from the worlds problems because I live in the UK. A few months later, I witnessed a global financial meltdown and the…
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…
Kara Swisher interviewed Twitter's former head of Trust and Safety, Yoel Roth, shortly after he left his position at the company. Two things in particular stuck out at me during the interview. Firstly, Roth seemed genuinely interested in presenting the arguments and perspectives of people with whom he disagreed in…
every one i see talks about how essential freedom is. how it's what our soul craves. truth is, freedom has a price. hell, everything has a price. we're born when a mother pays the price of pain. to have something, we must give something. i have never felt so free and yet bounded. you cannot leave who you are at home.…
ahh imagine a space to experience music that is not physical. the whole are becomes a visual representation of the music playing. vivid colours and shapes form in response to the music. smooth surfaces for a love song, a sharp point for a heartbreak, or even drops dripping to the floor in a puddle over a loss. this…
coming from the fertile goddess that is indonesia -- where you spit on the ground and your saliva grows into a giant beanstalk -- back to the arid desert that is italy, i'm thinking: why are we deforesting biodiverse gems of the earth? why don't we farm more seriously in barren places like most of the "1st world"?…
Human thought is shaped not just by what we consciously know but by the invisible assumptions embedded in our culture, education, and social norms. These frameworks operate like mental software—unquestioned yet profoundly influential. Gregory Bateson, in That Every Schoolboy Knows, urges us to interrogate these…
AHH. There are many objects in the world. this makes me wonder how do i decide on what are the things that i desire? i thought long about the answer; it must speak with me. i find the following quote very true "As soon as you put on one garment, it speaks to your personality" by Virgil Abloh. objects may seem…
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…
A typical week starts on Monday morning with office work and suddenly you realise that you have a lot of things pending to be done and you convince yourself that "I will do it over the weekend". This list piles up and finally when the weekend arrives we would have forgotten about it and when we realise the weekend…
https://voca.ro/1hJFed3yuwpt me, practicing for gig night i need to file my nails it is so hard to play the F chord
I am a shelf builder who displays my creativity, in my areas of practice, on my shelves. Recently, friend, Marlon, shared about the three domains in creativity - corporeal, hermeneutic, analytical - where Christian Julmi unpacks Hermann Schmitz's phenomenological approach. In the same conversation, Marlon and I…
There are many productivity gurus out there who talk about automating things as much as possible. I don't think that would fly with me. Just today, I realised the 'confidence' that small tasks - like cleaning the house, doing laundry - bring to you. Small tasks compound to big tasks. There is an American colonel…
I recently bought an electric fly swatter to handle the flies in our house. It felt satisfying to quickly zap them away. However, today I encountered a fly that exhibited surprisingly clever behavior during its escape attempts. It almost seemed as if it knew what was coming and was afraid. Killing this particular fly…
I've been seeing a few founders lately that already have 3 or even 4 projects and working on them simultaneously. Even if they operate under the same brand, to me this is a red flag. It's already really hard to build one really good brand/project, imagine if you have to build multiple at the same time? The common…
The world of crypto has been rocked (yet again) with the FTX news. Weirdly enough, Meta also announced that they were laying off 11,000 employees today (the bottom?). The whole FTX saga unfolded really fast - just a few days - and that's what I find fascinating. One might view this as bad since FTX was a pretty large…
"The inspiration just didn't come!" Well, we've hear that one before right? Turns out that creativity can be reached in two different ways. One, you are the super creative, free thinker, your mind is firing up like a pinball machine and there is NOTHING that makes you think about nothing. Two, you're as structured as…
Lately, everything seems a bit blurry. Too many thoughts. Too many feelings. A mix of the two and it's a mess. I'd wish to not feel, but being on a perpetual high, due to the pill-popping, makes me feel emptier than usual. The emptiness engulfs me, leaving me completely bare and broken. I've been feeling like this for…
You can know everything there is to know about a subject, but without credibility, no one will listen to what you have to say. Understanding that credibility in most fields is demonstrated through group affiliations, not IQ points, can help you present the truth in the best light, without fabricating it. In the 4-Hour…
i just did a yoga session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2D1WYgUeuM i thought about karl the whole time. who is karl? karl is a white haired old man we met at a port in greece everyone was freaking out!! because a flotilla came and dragged everyone's anchor karl was cool as a motherfucker. he stood there pitying…
I didn't see the loneliness coming, the solitude I craved turned on me. I'm trying to reach out, to feel some sort of connection. But I won't beg for it, I deserve to be wanted.
There is only one God, luck. Every individual is more often than not a captive of forces beyond their capacity. Such is the power of luck that it can effectively put hard work, effort and persistence to shame. Helplessness is one of the many brutal emotions known to human kind. For that is when the mind decides to…
Sometimes, I find myself self-critical over my apparent lack of focus, worrying that my broad range of interests doesn't get me anywhere. "Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev has helped me see the value in my widespread curiosity. The book highlights that exposure to diverse experiences is not just beneficial but…
I‘m thankful for all the beautiful people I have in my life. I‘m grateful for all the amazing experiences I have made so far. I love being me. I truly appreciate all of this.
I am currently in the random situation of helping a big German influencer film the first episode of her new podcast sponsored by Spotify and I‘m extremely surprised by how incompetent she is and how little of a clue she has. It’s crazy how far you can go by just acting competent. It’s all about the attitude.
and it pains me not to know whose orgasm i came from. Everybody makes babies about moms. But everybody’s born from their dad’s orgasm. It’s almost like as a society we were meant to make numerical decisions. If you ask one person to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar, they will likely get it wrong. But if you…
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…
Como é bom descobrir alguém novo e gostar. Hoje fui no show da Salma Jo com meu boy com ingressos que ganhei de uma amiga. Ela comprou, mas não conseguiu mais ir. Disse que era porque estaria em outra cidade, mas eu acho que é porque a namorada dela falou que ela tem ido a muitos shows. Isso aconteceu em uma discussão…
It's been 1.5 days since I underwent a surgery to repair my shoulder, and I can't believe that I've been struggling to find non-work thoughts and activities to fill my time. Persistent anxiety about the state I've left certain projects, which have been all-consuming in recent months, even manifests in my dreams. I've…
A universal aspect of any given human culture is the accepted method by which disputes and disagreements between individuals are resolved. Some methods that have been considered acceptable at various times in various places include (a) engaging in violent physical combat, (b) challenging one's enemy to a shooting…
