Growing up comes with its challenges. Just like the chick breaking its shell, I have to go beyond my space and limits as I get older. Each step forward brings both gains and losses, and it’s usually through those losses that I learn to appreciate what I’ve gained. In many ways, growing up is an aggressive act, and it must be to break the shell.
A beautiful definition of compassion: the gentle and sensitive use of power
I've been thinking about moving out of the city I’ve lived in for 13 years. I realized I had already started to leave these city and place in my mind long before I made the decision. Maybe it's time to finally make a choice. Even though it's a heavy decision, part of me feels excited to start fresh. Despite all the unknowns, I know is that I can settle in again and make it feel like home.

Sona Jobarteh, the first professional female virtuoso from West Africa’s Griot tradition, is an incredible talent. She’s a master of the Kora, one of Africa’s traditional instruments, and has beautiful voice.
Having a good time here, I occasionally go on X. After getting a taste of X's chaos, I come back and feel thankful for the in-depth analysis of tomatoes.
About our relationship with time
If you had a choice: play or not?
Reality comes to us in a raw and unprocessed form, often too intense, complex, or overwhelming for the mind to fully grasp. The mind processes reality, softening it through thought production.

Grotstein: What we believe we experience is a kind of virtual reality.
a "virtual reality"—a Reality that is "virtued/laundered" by the refractions of light created by fantasy, imagination, illusion, and symbolism.

Thinking is a tool for thought production. Sometimes no matter how much you think, nothing comes out of it. Because it is still raw and has time to cook.
You reach a point where questionable situations arise
"Leiblichkeit" is a way of looking at the body as more than just something physical—it’s part of how we live and experience the world. Imagine your body as the lens through which you experience everything around you. Your thoughts aren’t separate from your body; they’re shaped by what you feel, touch, and sense. This means your body and mind are always working together. So, in simple terms, the way you experience the world with your body plays a big role in how you think about it.

Thinking about my own desire to join any channel: Am I really eager to contribute? If not, follow is enough
In the creative process, holding in mind what something will become and feeling the passion and dedication towards it, can be the most pleasurable aspect of creation.
I enjoy digging into the history of a word or concept. Words and concepts embark on their own journeys of migration. As they carry the heritage of one language to another, they gradually transform and acquire new meanings. As people's paths intersect, languages touch one another.
I love Saturdays, especially the slow start to the day and listening to my neighbor practice the piano.
"There is an early communication from skin to skin; the skin is the first organ of meaningful exchange. Acts of mirroring movement and words can only develop on the foundational ground of mirroring rhythm, warmth, and touch."

The pain a person feels does not come from the thoughts they think, but from the thoughts they can't think. The thoughts they believe are causing their pain are not the cause, but the result. The thoughts that rise to consciousness take on the emotions of the ones that can't. It's believed that once these thoughts are resolved, the emotions will go away. But they don't. Even when problems are solved, they remains.
One sees in others the flaws they repress in themselves.
Just before I fall asleep, I play a little game with the images that pop into my mind. I imagine holding a paintbrush and painting everything white. By the time I’ve painted everything, I’m already asleep without realizing it.
Death cleaning is part of preparing for death. Mostly older people sort and reduce their belongings near the end of life.

Decluttering is usually done by loved ones and comes with emotional weight. It's interesting that people choose to take on this responsibility themselves.

In this process, they connect with the stories behind their belongings. It feels like one last chance to reflect on life and the past.

It’s a form of minimalist lifestyle from a death perspective.

This article helped me express my conflicting feelings and thoughts about everything becoming more digital/online. I feel pressure to stay online and keep up with transformations, while at the same time, I have a desire and longing for offline, tangible experiences. I deeply appreciate the value of real-world experiences, physical products, and face-to-face interactions. While I get excited about new technological advancements, I also feel nostalgic for the past. I agree that the digital world is permanent, but the view as if there’s no alternative makes me feel trapped. We seem to have reached a saturation point, and with AI, it sometimes feels like we’re at the point of a breakdown. We need technologies that allow us to interact with the world around us without isolating or mechanizing us.
