Feb 05, 2025 from Meadow My son only wants to hear stories and I feel like a TV Lately, my son has been obsessed with asking us to tell him stories. At first, I eagerly jumped on every opportunity to do so, but now I just find it tiresome. At the same time, I can't really say ...
Jan 29, 2025 from Meadow When our feelings & emotions go against what we think is best For the past month or so, I've been trying to craft (for it is an act of craftsmanship) a morning routine for myself. In an ideal world, it would look something like this: wake up around 5:20am (ki...
Jan 26, 2025 from Meadow Good morning Woke up pretty early today, around 4:30 AM, and didn’t manage to go back to sleep. But all is good. I spent pretty much the whole time listening to Brandon Sanderson’s Rhythms of War, and it was aw...

Nov 22, 2024 from nutcroft Goodbye I had been struggling to write for many years. Back then I was dreaming of having a blog with lots of entries. Now I do. I admired the people who did and now I'm one of them. The feeling now is: th...
Nov 20, 2024 from Meadow Initial thoughts on The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle I finally started reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I've tried to start this book many times before, but I always stopped in the first chapter or so because I felt that the author was bein...
Oct 03, 2024 from Meadow On surrendering and the fallacy of control Yesterday, around 1:30 AM, I woke up with a feeling that I needed to vomit. I tried getting up, but I immediately felt faint and did indeed faint. I was a bit sick all over the place. Thankfully, i...
Sep 09, 2024 from Meadow Judging is a trap I was going through my Obsidian notes and noticed that there are a couple of almost-finished posts that are actually quite good—more than a couple, in fact. My intuition tells me it’s both good and...
Sep 06, 2024 from Meadow Emojis are cool I use a lot of emojis when I write (especially chat), and it has always struck me as interesting that most people around me don’t. “Don’t they want to convey how they feel about this?” I ask myself...
Aug 30, 2024 from Meadow RE: Write like you talk Earlier today I was reading some new posts by Visa. There’s not much to say about that, except that he uses pretty normal words and writes very well. This might seem like an odd comment, but it ste...
