Gyuri’s Special Tomato Chicken Sandwich
Fresh tomatoes, all the kinds of cheeses in the pantry, and lots of butter for the crunch.
Pro-tip: cool sandwich a bit after grilling to get that A+ crisp and serve with a fat mug of iced americano under a gentle sunset-like light.

Three-layered iced latte
And a normal hot latte with lots of love.
(I’ve almost gotten the hang of the heart shape, right? I’ll try a rosetta next time.)

Certainty lies beyond thought; it is impossible to think one’s way to sureness (but this is a good thing)
What’s that called again? Analysis-paralysis? Overthinking tendencies and all the fancy words for when one is stuck on thinking so much that one cannot at all act anymore. And why is it? Because thought itself is an act, sometimes a more exhausting one. One can spend all of one’s time and energy on just thinking and not a single thing would be done. Usually, because not a single drop of time and energy would be left for the doing.
Not only that but even when there is some time and energy in excess afterward, too much thought can make the doing more difficult. One difference between thought and action is that the latter concludes more easily. It is easy to stop doing. To move requires energy; hence, the contrast: no addition of energy is required to stop moving. Thought, however, is more like the bowling ball in space. Thought itself is inertia and it would not end unless one wills it to.
This definitely depends on the person and context. There I’ve said it; now it is the truth.
But the question is this: why would one be drawn to endless, excessive thought? Most times it isn’t because humans are drawn to [reflective (Edit: 2023)] thinking (going back to that point, thinking in itself is an action and so it also requires energy and cannot be done indefinitely) but that they are drawn to what it seems to lead to: certainty, answers, sure answers.
You take all the options and weigh them, study all the differing paths and compare, apply all the theories, and wait for The Best Possible Answer to come up. Except it doesn’t it; it wouldn’t ever. That’s either because humans just can’t ever know (our minds however mighty might not be able to comprehend the complexity that is the Correct Answer for Anything) or that such just doesn’t exist. Whichever it is, is just one thing: it’s beyond thinking.
I’d say beyond us, humans, but maybe it isn’t. You know when you’re experiencing something and you feel something more than what your mind can put into ideas? Like when you’re doing something and you just know that it’s something you’re supposed to do, it’s what you exist for? Or when you’re listening to music and it ‘just vibes’ with you?
Or, heck, you’re taking a bite of that sandwich or a sip of that coffee and it brings back lifetimes you cannot even imagine but it’s there in the deepest part of your soul.
It is beyond thought but never beyond existence (Being or life or what you call it).
