  1. Sometimes, you need a break from competition. My doctor told me to avoid contact sports for 6 weeks after I got mono. To protect my spleen from the competitive scene.
  2. That’s the fancier way to say it, yes. I personally prefer to call it the “Kiss from God”
  3. What does a genuine friendship look like to you?
  4. Let’s zoom out and replace “an experimental vaccine” with “a society”. Society seems pretty experimental, doesn’t it? People have the right to leave society and live off in some cave or forest. Let’s see how that goes.
  5. Did you express your disappointment to him?
  6. My doctor just called and confirmed that I tested positive for mono. She has confirmed I am Alone in the Universe! Being all Alone is a positive feeling.
  7. A healthy collaboration between teacher and student is key. Even masters have blind spots. The student can certainly teach the master if both are open to it. Recall a time when you were able to challenge (and even change) a professional’s original assumptions. This is possible by not only respecting the authority of the master, but also respecting your own authority.
  8. You’re better off approaching 100 people and having short conversations with them as opposed to watching 100 TikTube Shorts. Short interactions are not inherently wrong. They give you a potential taste of something interesting, but it’s your job to deepen that connection and not automatically move onto the next short thing. Think of it like waiting at a train station. Your train comes in 10 minutes. What will you do in those next 10 mins? Talk to the woman next to you? Scroll through Instagram? Give some money to a homeless man playing guitar? Don’t over analyze what to do. Take a short 30 second break to feel into your body and observe.
  9. Paradoxically you also can make this stuff up, and that’s what makes life magical.
  10. A diagnosis is not a life sentence. In other words, they’re important, but don’t make it your entire identity.
  11. You can consider adopting a kitten and calling it your baby.
  12. The real question to contemplate on: Can a chair be Awake? What makes Ralston more special than a chair?
  13. Maybe try the burning thru karma technique. Watch YouTube Shorts 10 hrs straight or until you lose your mind
  14. AI is a powerful tool, and just like a strong substance needs to be used responsibly and with proper intention. The best wingman can guide you, but can never substitute for you doing the actual approach and learning the socialization skills for yourself
  15. There is a beauty in ignoring. Not everything needs your attention, no matter how juicy it is. I personally struggle with this still.
  16. There is a period where much effort, resistance, and inner work is required. To skip this is to miss an integral part of the journey.
  17. Ultimately, no one else can define you but you.
  18. That’s a very Apple thing to do
  19. I’ve been dealing with a viral infection for a month. Lots of suffering, very little regrets. Made me appreciate life even more.
  20. The biggest assumption here is that aliens thrive on human conceptual time.
  21. The benefit of glass compared to stainless steel is you do a quick visual scan to see how much water is in the bottle. It’s a personal preference. I personally use stainless steel and like to feel how heavy it is to see if it needs to be refilled.
  22. Nice, I was obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh! As a kid. I also love how you altered the hand position and added shoes.
  23. The Universe communicates universally and is itself a universal university.
