I don’t agree but I understand
Some people are exemplars of the majority. They’re the ones at the top of the middle of the bell curve. They know how the trends work and how to keep the status quo. They are the ‘majority wins‘ and more often than not, they do. Some people seem to live in an entirely different world.…
Boundaries with time and the calendar
Ah, what now? Flow state: this is the most pressing thought in my mind. But I feel as though the answer is closer than I think. That to sleep when I ought to sleep, wake up when I ought to wake up, walk for at least ten kilometers daily, and then get in my room…
Flowing, nature against nurture
오후 9:00 Habit tells me to still put in the time. Hahaha. Writing… typing on the laptop right now. A very simple set-up for tonight: just the laptop, mouse, and then the mic. I was writing on my journal notebook when I felt the inclination to put my thoughts down here instead. As I was…
Sometimes the point is that there is nothing
Ever spend hours, days, thousands, patience (in other words: a lot) on nothing? Not nothing no-thing, but the one that ends up futile, no results, you-didn’t-get-to-where-you-wanted or not-have-what-you-needed. Then when all is done and done, what now? Usually when this happens, I ask myself: what was that for? How can I make that not worthless?…
Playing darts 501
Once you get the hang of it, throwing darts on the board is easy. But that’s not all there is to the sport. Eventually, you’ll get to the bullseye or one of the other higher-scoring parts of the board. An amateur is satisfied at these occasional lucky throws. He throws the dart and hopes for…
Holiday spirit
I was up until the A.M. last night (this morning?) and wondered if I had been dreaming upon seeing the date, 1 December. What? It’s December? How time flies. How times especially in a year of a pandemic. I wonder how Christmas is going to be like this time around. And the new year’s? How…
Flow and music, after the new keyboard arrived
I had one like this some ten-ish years ago but I don’t really remember how that went. Just that, it was a forgettable thing, so I didn’t even realize when the old keyboard left the house. Hahaha. I’ve been drawn to music these days and apparently when you let yourself go ‘with the flow’ you…
Sleep is freedom
Sleep is freedom for the child who longs to go on wilder adventures in dimensions different from their boring adult’s. Sleep is freedom for the adult seeking relief from their boring grownup world and a fast way back to childhood. Without spending a dime. Sleep is freedom even for those in non-boring non-grownup worlds, in…
It’s not a matter of quality vs. quantity
The quality vs. quantity debate isn’t just an oversimplification of a complex issue; it’s a dangerous shortcut. The answer to this, and to many other matters relating to a creative process, depends on just one thing: you. Should you focus on creating a lot or on the results of what you create? Neither, because you…
