  1. I liked that book.
  2. Love isn't conditional at all times. People have loved others for their character and connection. Love is zig zag.
  3. You would only know something through thorough communication. Even with that you should be open to interpretations you thought were never possible.
  4. Great post. Ultimately what you want is up to you.
  5. Kanye has always been the odd one.
  6. What's funnier is everyone keeps operating from that main character they're trapped in.
  7. I often see floaters and something moving darting really fast through air like a small worm. Don't know what that is.
  8. How do you know if others perceive it as an A game? Kinda sus.
  9. She won't appear out of the blue if she isn't already emotionally invested in you. Build a solid plan. But before that, try having a long solid conversation, if she keeps going, you know she is interested, if not, most likely she will flake on it.
  10. Make it a point to make some changes every month. Change needs time and patience. Make a list of things you want. Don't expect too much early on. Keep going. Life will pivot on it's own.
  11. I don’t think authenticity is a scam, but I do think the popular definition of it is immature. Authenticity isn’t radical transparency—it’s integrity across contexts. Every human being translates themselves depending on where they are, right? the difference is that conscious people notice the translation, and that awareness creates friction. What you’re calling a “character” isn’t necessarily false, it’s a partial expression designed to be metabolized by the social environment. Most people don’t reject truth, they reject being overwhelmed, destabilized, or made to feel small by it. So resonance happens at the level of recognition, not depth. The split you’re feeling doesn’t come from having multiple selves—it comes from believing only one of them is real or worthy of connection. That belief turns a natural social adaptation into a moral conflict. Consciousness often trades mass resonance for precision, fewer people, slower connection, but less distortion over time. There is an alternative reality but it isn’t mainstream and it isn’t efficient. It’s built through selective honesty, patience, and accepting that not everyone is meant to meet you at your interior depth. The fatigue eases when you stop asking the wrong layer of people to recognize the whole of you. Hope that makes sense.
  12. There are health apps on phone that act like a smartwatch. I'm just wondering how accurate all these AI devices will be in the future or just another tech gimmick.
  13. Get blood work done to rule out possibilities or health issues that interfere with appetite. You need to build discipline and maintain balanced control over what you consume, then slowly introduce more or different foods over time.If you push too hard too quickly, your body can revert to its old patterns, and eventually the weight is likely to return.Do the emotional work—learn to feel and process your emotions instead of numbing or suppressing them with food. This is a major factor. Avoid the foods that contributed to weight gain in the first place, and replace them with whole foods or healthier alternatives. Exercise daily and spend time outdoors. Stay occupied so boredom doesn’t trigger cravings or the urge to eat for a quick “reward.”Gut health strongly influences the brain. I recommend getting tests done to check liver and gut health to rule out underlying issues.
  14. VFX is safer but SFX feels real.
  15. I thought it was the other way round. Consciousness was inside space.
  16. That's fascinating. Do you often do that?
  17. Well said and I absolutely agree. Even the identity of “one who has awakened” must eventually fall away. Otherwise, spirituality becomes just another costume the mind wears to avoid disappearing.
  18. I wonder if part of the exhaustion comes from trying to hold everything at once—the whole ocean instead of the next breath or the next step. Maybe steadiness doesn’t come from comprehending the entire cascade, but from recognizing which currents we’re actually responding to in a given moment. We don’t need to know what’s doing all the bumping to orient ourselves. Sometimes it’s enough to notice where we are, how we’re reacting, and what helps us stay balanced—without turning the chaos into a cosmic verdict.
  19. We don’t move from not knowing straight into wisdom—we pass through assumptions, partial clarity, and even false certainty. That’s often how understanding refines itself. Maybe the mistake wasn’t “thinking you knew,” but holding on to that knowing too tightly. Openness isn’t just saying I don’t know—it’s also being willing to let go the moment reality contradicts our assumptions, without turning it into self-punishment. You couldn’t have fully avoided it, because insight often only arrives after experience. What you can carry forward is humility, curiosity, and a softer grip on conclusions. Not as fear—just as flexibility.
