Letting Go Of Presumptions

There’s a very liberating feeling that comes about when a person lets go of all the things that they felt used to hold them back – a sense that maybe things are easier to do, a feeling that nobody is restraining them.

That’s definitely how I’ve felt about making content recently, even as I make things that not everyone may agree with or things that people may feel are controversial.

Some people say that it’s dangerous, and maybe that’s true, but the way I think about my content is that I should make content that is true to myself, to what I believe in, and what I’m fighting for – and that if there is a social aspect to what I do and choose to create, it is that it should reshape society in an image that I want it to be reshaped in.

I find it odd that I didn’t use to think this way – that somehow or another it always felt difficult to say what I truly wanted to say, that my voice was somehow caught inside a metaphorical throat filled with narrow passageways and constant blockages, refusing to allow what came from within to be expressed.

Moving ahead seems a little easier now, and it is something that I will do.

Looking forward to sharing more with the world soon 🙂

Making Every Minute Worth It

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how time is finite.

The moments that we have on earth, the memories that we have, the seconds that flow by… Everything is finite.

You think that the moments will roll and everything will come and go infinitely – but it’s not true; all of it is part of a set of flowing sands flowing through glass crevices into a pile that lies down below, and whether we like it or not, these moments will one day all fade away as we hit inescapable limits, bound by biology, time, and energy.

We have all the reason to make every minute worth it.

Every ounce of energy earn something.

Every part of our minds, our cognitions, our planning yield some sort of meaningful and measurable benefit to our happiness, our joy, our wallets, and everything in between.

As the year comes to an end, it’s strange to see – my energy has multiplied, my peace has come closer, and I am moving forward faster than I ever have, with so little compunction or fear that it’s interesting to watch someone who seems to be of a different body and mind than the person who had been here before.

There are many good things that I feel about who I am and who I will become, and I look forward to seeing where things will go 🙂

Doc.new

Just discovered the doc.new shortcut, and it’s lifechanging. 

All you do? Go to Chrome, and type in “doc.new” into the address bar, and poof – here you are, with a brand new Google Document.

Why do I even know this? Because I use Google documents every day, and I like to make things just a little easier for myself so I don’t get the excuse of saying that I didn’t do things because they were too cumbersome or too difficult. 


Here, I was trying to get a shortcut to create a new document and I was looking for the easiest possible way to do it – a way of enabling me to do things more easily, in more refined a fashion, in more simple a way to make things happen and develop.

Docs.new is one of the most elegant things I’ve discovered this entire year, and it’s a shock that that realization came in nothing more than a single search for the shortcut and a single phrase typed into a keyboard.

It makes me wonder how many other instances of this exist out there in our strange universe.
