Everywhere and at all times, it is within your power to acquiesce in your present condition. Treat those around you with justice, and be careful with the thoughts you allow into your mind. Do not let every impression take hold of you. Examine it before you accept it as truth. Do not spend your life looking into the minds of others, or wondering how they choose to live. Look instead at your own nature, and understand what life asks of you. The world will continue to change, people will come and go, and things will happen beyond your control. Your task is not to control everything, but to meet what comes with reason, and to act with kindness wherever you can. — Inspired by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book VII.

You find your way into me, like sunlight filtering through the trees Your gaze slips through the aperture of my heart, driving the darkness away I may drift farther from you, but what I feel keeps flowing, You find your way into me ... Poetry: myself

My heart longs for the sight of you, with a hiraeth words could never explain A longing only my heart and I know, a distance only we can feel.

The human mind is in an incessant state of motion. Thoughts pass through our minds like clouds drifting across the sky One after another, never really stopping. For example, on my way to work today, out of nowhere, I thought about checking Farcaster to see what today's word was. While thinking about what to write, I was also wondering what else I should check, how many more metro stops I had before getting off, what tasks were waiting for me at work, and about a personal appointment after my shift. All these thoughts, happening almost simultaneously. Imagine if we could control our thoughts and focus on just one thing at a time Perhaps we'd discover something close to a miracle.

As children, we feared monstrosity Growing up, we fell in love with monsters.

I love you in the most quotidian way like breathing, so ordinary that I rarely notice it, yet woven into every moment of my life

I’m not a melodramatic person, but I meet so many people throughout the day, and some of them express their pain as if no one has ever suffered the same way From a simple cold to something much bigger, pain is part of being human we all suffer in different ways, but sometimes, we make our pain louder than it needs to be

I see unctuous people at work getting promoted through flattery and smooth talk They do less, sometimes don't even do their jobs properly, yet receive greater rewards I'm not really upset with them This is how they've learned to live What disappoints me is the people in charge who are so easily swayed by flattery It's their shallow perspective and poor judgment that bother me most.

I start my days caffeinated and end my nights waiting for tomorrow so I can caffeinate again At this point I’m not sure if I drink coffee to start my day or start my day just to drink coffee 👀 Gm / Gn ☕️

We use words to convey what we mean And sometimes, we exploit them so skillfully that we make what isn't real look like reality.
