… On doing difficult things
Figured out why I’ve been bored with life.… feeling lost. When you play a game and it seems too easy, it gets boring. When it seems like you’ve gotten to the peak of the game, you get bored. What do you then do? you either quit the current challenge and go for another, or you…

Lost
Been trying to put a label to this feeling. Not sure what it is. It’s as though I’m lost. Life is good but I’m lost. I’m uninterested in anything. Not the best feeling honestly.

Brand New Underwear
I was going to title this – It’s all in the mind but figured it’ll be bland, lukewarm…which is certainly not the feeling I’m trying to convey. Now, growing up, when I had an occasion which I wanted to be pumped for, I’d wear a brand new underwear or accessory. Significant memory of this was for exams.…

What if I did pushups everyday for the rest of my life?
Ripped this title off some influencer who’s currently recording every day of her life but I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. There’s love in sharing. I did 100 pushups in one day sometime in January, 10 at a time. Wrote about it actually. After that, I did pushups a few times a week for fun. Sometime in…

Raise the bar… higher.
Most of my blogposts take a minute to write, but I’ve had the longest most-intense week. Had to solve for something at work and it’s drained me but I’m determined today so here goes…. My model for hiring is to bring on bar raisers. People who are significantly better than myself with excellent executional standards. …

…hard things
I’m struggling at work. I’m trying to build a framework for something where I have no frame of reference. Been thinking so much that I think my head could explode (see I’m still thinking). Can’t wait to solve it. I know I will, but not struggled with anything in a long while that this is…

…on writing
A friend was speaking to me this morning about a few luxury items she’d like to buy. She went – something wrist, something neck. I responded; and I formed the first poem I’ve written in a while. Something wrist, something neck Something silver, something Gold Something shoulder, something finger Something simple, something bold It reminded…

…on being happy.
My friend asked if I was happy and I couldn’t answer. I said I was calm. I said I felt like the sea on a hot afternoon – normal tides, no waves of excitement. I’ve felt this way for a bit. As though I needed something in particular to make me happy. But there in…

I swam, literally, and into a new age
I might have one of the worst cases of claustrophobia. Been scared of anything where I feel submerged so swimming has been a no no. Started swimming classes 3 weeks before my birthday and in the first two classes, I barely made any progress. The friends I went with were doing pretty well. Thought I’d…

On leading a team that loves you
This evening, a team member called me. 3 hours after work. To talk about how he could be a better leader. 40 minutes into the conversation, I was filled with so much joy. I’ve built a great time. I’ve built ridiculously smart and responsible people. People that know and give me all the respect I…
Got any recommendations on things I could try out?
