Bah.. I seem to have slipped

I haven’t written in a while.

Perhaps it was necessary. I needed to drown out and think through some of the voices that were boggling my mind only to arrive at the same conclusion I theorised in the beginning – Ignore everything but yourself.

I’ll need to start writing again – if not for anything else but to silence the ever noisy voices in my head.

Embracing Minimalism and Reducing Footprint

Reduce Your Footprint.

Recently, I took some time to evaluate and reevaluate again everything around me. More importantly, how I as a person affect the world around me and within me.

I believe that everything has a soul. We are all vibrations and thus how we do anything consequentially affects how we do everything and how everything responds back to us.

This may seem like a quirky concept but it has helped me dig deeper and delve into the abyss of my mind with a filter or lense that helps me in making sense of it all. By doing this, I somehow arrived at a new purpose in life. Continue reading

Darkness Reborn…

Hiatus and Shift in Thinking

So I have been in hiatus with my writing particularly because I had a few last minute stuff to resolve and move back to my home. Its great to be back online though.

While I was in the midst of getting all these done, I had alot of time to think and ponder upon topics of interest. I’ve also been kinds off in a letting go mood. Not really committing to things that are not in the top of my priorities list. Its kinds of an interesting shift considering how I have been living for this past life of mine. I kinda want to give myself a rebirth now. Do things my way rather than the ways that surround me. Continue reading

This post is for Humans Only …

Have you ever had one of those days ?

You know, the days where you just feel like you’re brain isn’t working at its optimal pace and all you feeling like doing is curling up and sleeping. If you say no, chances are, you’re one of those super highly motivated, constantly productive, mythical beings and if you are one of those, please ping me because I’d love to learn how to not ever have those days.

For the rest of us though, my initial investigations lead me to believe that this could be brought on by one of two things : Continue reading

Linear Thinking vs Lateral Thinking in Blog Posts

Because writing lists is so yesterday, sometimes.

If you have noticed, a bunch of my most recent blog posts were not step by step, list oriented blog posts. Most of them were very abstract ideas and thoughts and visions that were floating around in my mind for quite a while and I desperately wanted to get them out on paper and to the world.

Why I choose to write such blog posts despite having the knowledge that my most popular post so far was a list based post is because I am a strong believer in Lateral Thinking when it comes to expressing ideas. This does not mean that I am dismissing Linear Thinking under any account but instead what this means is that I encourage more people to start thinking a little more laterally compared to the inverse.

The Secret to Setting Goals and Achieving Them

Because New Year Goals are too Mainstream

As we approach the new year, I am sure there will be a ton of people out there who begin once again a diligent ritual of setting goals. While I don’t oppose the notion of goal setting, I instead oppose the pseudo significance of placing one day among all other days of the year on the high pedestal of personal achievement.

You better mind what’s out there…

I wonder what’s out there

Have you ever wondered what’s out there ? In a space where most claim to see and feel and understand but instead, fill with their own filters and lenses.

Have you ever pondered what’s beyond the boundaries set by a force you so fail to comprehend? A force so diligent that it starts working and never stops, instead only tainted by age. Continue reading

Why Samuel Beckett and not Yoda ?

I’ll admit. I have been slacking. Quite a bit actually. The goal was to produce a ton of content for this site but I must say, failing to do so seems to be the current norm.

I have not been in much of a mood to write recently. Perhaps its the lack of sleep, or perhaps a little too much of it. More importantly, perhaps its the fact that I just concocted that excuse earlier is what is holding me back. Continue reading

Knock, knock. Wake up Neo…

Can’t Sleep

There comes a time when you feel as if the wind just got blown out of you. Someone sucker punched you in the gut and gave it all they got leaving you breathless. For that moment in time, everything stops. Time ceases to exist. The world around you pauses and you realize, DAMN, I can’t believe this has happened. I can’t believe I am here. I can’t believe all the decisions I made in life thus far resulted in what I am now, where I am now, who I am now.

Your entire life flashes before you. Like no other. You question everything. You look back and attempt to see some form of logic in the decision you made. You attempt to arrange and compartmentalize the chaos that stands before you. Suddenly, you realize that path before you that you thought was shining so brightly is suddenly pitch black as you stare into the abyss hoping something would happen. Hoping anything would happen, giving you a semblance of hope that everything, and anything made sense.

But you realise, in those fleeting moments that nothing does makes sense. It seems like everything up till now is a waste and worst, its because of you. Its because of the stupid decisions you made and the idosyncracies that come with those carefree decisions. You suddenly realize that alot of what people preach and tell themselves and worst, tell you is all just fluff. Sack of lies created to bolster them from the bitter reality that life isn’t what it seems to be. Life didn’t go as planned and instead of fixing it, what most people do is succumb to the reality and embrace the so call light of their being. They compromise. They become the person they think they want to be, not the person they really should be.

And here I am wondering, doesn’t that bother anyone just a bit. Doesn’t that burn a hole right through your heart ? Lying to yourself everyday. Being someone you’re not. Doing something that’s not truly you.

Knock, knock. Wake up Neo…
