Beyond labels

Job titles inflict pain as any definition does — they curtail thinking outside the box. Imagine what you can do with a bank of experience under a “title” — now take that and get LinkedIn to your next gig. The individual is undefinable. Creative consciousness is an act of free will, a pragmatic solve for…

Freedom’s tension
•
1 min read
Freedom’s ambition is to remain unattached, untethered from the yolk of others. Yet, it’s always the force that remains untapped. Why do we remain intrinsically straddled? Only one minute observation says we have excess rapport with the good stuff. In other words, we need more constraint. Freedom from constraint can come and go with a…

Trivial proportion
•

A trivial proportion, work that’s immaterial. The precise category of work is a lifeline to a crispy identity. Experience often fails to deepen mastery. There’s no such thing as a stress-free gig. The world is our palette, an energy field flung wide. If we’re lucky, we’ll meet the brushstrokes halfway. Perfection is fragile, as the…

The smell, the smell
•

The smell went right into the brain, bypassing all the cartilage and hitting straight to the neuronal wires. The eyes and ears no way could imagine the deep interconnectedness of a waft that struck memory with such venom. Certain smells melt into wavelengths to a world we once knew, pinning the once visible and invisible…

The paradox of loneliness
•
1 min read
To dine alone or bowl alone are events that blend strangeness and familiarity. Yet, they, too, are entirely social. The export of one human mind to another happens in an instant. Apes are always burning toward an ambition of experience. Psychology aside, we can ill afford to do nothing in spite of our paradoxical intention.…

To the moon

So little it’s immeasurable — that’s how improvement works. Effort is compounding. To remain elastic means to remain wide awake. The template for true consistency emerges changed, not validated. Baby steps create a sense of dimension of age-related invincibility. Like the Puya Raimondii, we grow for years and shed it all in an instant. In…

Too content for content
•
1 min read
Time, infinitely manufactured, trains our brain to think forever. Eternity remains a distraction. In reality, time is scarce, the waning seconds escaping like quicksand. “One day” becomes the procrastinator’s potion. The situation calls for urgency, deploying the brain and the spine. After navigating the flood of idleness, we get hypnotized to create. Albeit, briefly. Fighting…

Into the sinkhole
•
1 min read
The river of worries, always tangled up in the present. There are none more inundating than the pervasive daggers, unwanted and given the majority position. The inertia gives them space, a collection of content trash driven into a introspective sinkhole. Let them in, they said. To what end? Go ahead — invite them over. But…

Expecting the least expected
•
1 min read
Taking a stand, gradually and then suddenly. The forever longs and forever hopes of doing something urge an itch. It’s the experience that radically transforms your life. The bold are there to tell the unmotivated and scared what it’s like to trade away comfort for a bundle of qualities centered around risk. It’s the pause…

Virtually experienced, hardly seen
•
1 min read
We record events, to realize that they’re happening — not necessarily that we want to experience them. The aperture opens the lens to reality, the touch of technology comes before sight. The light beams onto the subject, probing for a source of security. Is this even a tangible object? The mind’s eye sticks onto an…

Rightsizing life
•
1 min read
The reduction of ambition rightsizes one’s life. Suddenly, those magnetic forces, trophies, hefty pocketbooks, and rich attractions lose their lure. All the stylization and mimetic desire mean little. The sheep collective drowns in the waterfall of white fountains. What matters is cultivating a satisfaction with fomo that becomes intrinsic. The reward for sitting out or…

The visionary compass
•
2 min read
To be interesting, we have to be interested, that is, an atypical perspective discovers atypicality in our surroundings. Different is a way of seeing. But it doesn’t come naturally, it flows through some mental defect, which, if lacking, takes some pre-programming to tilt the visionary compass. Taste is grown and groomed by shapeshifting through variegated…
