Still not a Musketeer
Elon Musk– Ashlee Vance I’m not a big fan of biographies. Or of the main star in this one, to be honest. But I have been trying to finish every book I start, and believe you can’t know less from reading. Even if it’s not a favourite, there are always lessons to take away. This…

Nowhere, Everywhere
Why do I have to choose one place? And why must I live there? Can’t I just visit and roam around, then elsewhere, and then roam again? And the cycle continues- as it always does- till death. Or Mars. I envy. Or rather, I wish. Teleportation was real. Because I don’t know about living- setting…

Lost and Finding
I don’t know if these things we’re finding are really the things we lost, or if they are just lying around waiting for whoever passes by first. Like the birds and the worms, or talent and hard work. You know, rewards for those who show up. What I found, I didn’t even know I had…

The Small Talk (and Maybe Work)
Honestly? Checking in on people’s moods-especially my bosses’- before I settle into work and plan my day. I’d love to just arrive, breathe and get on with things as I please( within reason, mostly), without having to gauge whether today is a good day for them.. or one of those shouty, stormy ones that could…

Chasing Stars
Most famous or infamous person has to mean that the world at large-or at least a large percentage holds this person to such stature. If that is the case, I will disappoint greatly. As I have not had a chance to meet anyone, face to face, that would fall into this category. My kind has…

Pass: Of Good Grades and Passionless Subjects.
I don’t think I had one. Sure, I did not enjoy religious studies- more specifically Christian Religious Studies (CRE) as I did Maths or English or science. But even those were just subjects. Things to study, memorize, and pass. That was the goal. Not curiosity. Not joy. Just survival. With the way education was structured-or…

Time and Time Again
From whom? At what cost? Do my loved ones get some, too? Also, is it more time? Or time away from something? I sure could use some time off this adulting business. Is that on offer too? Like a short break from having to deal with mean bosses and unsatisfied customers. And an increasingly annoying…

Same Actor, Different Script
This is a bold question. Very bold. Especially when I’m still trying to figure out how I got here in the first place. I’ve read- and heard- that we create our lives with our thoughts. That the life we’re living now, we have created with our thoughts consciously or unconsciously. And if this is true,…

Mindfulness, Algorithms, and Adulting: A Rant. A Reflection. Maybe Both.
There’s so much advice out there on how to be mindful-or maybe it’s just my algorithm. But I really hope it’s not just me. I hope we’re all getting bombarded with guides, steps, and ideas on how to be present. And more than anything, I hope we’re actually trying. Because let’s be honest: there’s a…

All The Above
Okay, so I’ve tried. I really did. I wanted to invent a holiday. But turns out, that’s not my ministry. I’m not the architect-I’m the enthusiastic participant. The confetti thrower. The one who shows up with snacks and good vibes. I have, however, read some brilliant ideas today. And honestly? I wish we’d just adopt…
