One thing I’ve always felt captivated by is the strange feeling of realizing that you’re able to do something only after you’ve done it, not before – it’s weird because you don’t know how you’re going to have done it, but somehow or another, by the time you’ve actually done it, you’re left with some weird and heady mixture of feelings that just make you think…

Whoa.

Did I seriously do that?

The feeling’s always the same – like a sort of explosion of color, a sense that something happened that I can’t quite grasp; the world has changed, but in a way that was wholly unpredictable.

It’s kind of weird to see myself change, and frankly there are times when I look at myself and it seems like I’m just an observer looking inward – but there’s a lot to be thankful for.

Who would’ve thought that this would be such an interesting ride, in the way that it chose to manifest as an interesting ride?

Not me, haha.

I’m still figuring things out, though.

One step at a time!

Secretlab Atlas VS Titan Evo: A Review!

Got the SecretLab Atlas because I wanted to see what Secretlab’s task chair setup was like after having purchased 7 different Secretlab Titan chairs across time. Beyond vibe, which it does check (in a different way from the Titan), it is quite different from the Titan Evo in a few […]

Location of Culture?

I’m reading “The Location of Culture” by Homi K. Bhabha, and frankly, it is a hot mess.  Either that, or I am the hot mess, and I don’t know what’s actually happening. It was so bad I didn’t understand so much of it that at some point I actually messaged […]

The Privilege to Not Care

There’s a specific neoliberal idea that is very common in online content creation, and it’s one that online gurus tend to repeat one after another as if it were coordinated and they were all given the same script: “Post whatever it is that you want. Nobody is looking, nobody cares. […]

Hi it’s me again.

I finished Orientalism today, and it was truly unexpected that I would have. I was plodding along with the book as usual, maybe spending just a little bit of extra time. As I reached page 323 out of 378, fully expecting that the whole project would last much longer, I […]
