Abraham Kim last shared their writing George Baker enters the cafe
George Baker noticed the ding only after the door had closed behind him. That was an anomoly, he thought. Most of these store door bells dinged upon opening. He turned back to look up at the bell that was stuck onto the side of the door rather than hanging from...

Backoffice Apps

I have a fetish with horribly designed, outdated back-office apps.

Maybe I can't claim they're horribly designed. That's too subjective . 

How about instead: I have a fetish with established back-office apps that people often complain about. I would even guess that they love to complain about these apps....

Actually not a single one of them I bet could tell you what they stayed for. I mean they'l give you their reasons, but do they believe themselves? If you look into their eyes as they ingest another puff of smoke do...

Before the habit vs After

Before I forged a solid writing habit I took myself too serious. 

I walked around with this pressure, a ticking time bomb. I needed to finish something meaningful, and I needed to do it soon. 

My reason for wanting to write was grandiose and ego driven. I could only pull...

30s are tough from a lot of my reading. A lot of significant events tend to happen then. The one that becomes stressful is that you are expected to make very long term decisions. Like a partner, career, house and maybe even legacy :).

801 Nathaniel

After the world shut down I began working from home.

It was kind of nice to not have to be anyplace. To dress however I wanted. To cook homemeals at my place and feed bits of it to my dog Toby. But the best thing I loved about working from home...

Who to impress

Even if we don't think we are, most of us live lives trying to impress virtual imaginations of how famous people would think about us.

How much time have we spent trying to mold ourselves into someone who would impress some famous designer? Or a CEO we admire? We watch...

Excitement is fuel not product

Excitement is helpful a helpful vibe to produce to. It makes working on a project more fun.Sometimes it can even feel more fun than having fun in the more traditional sense: for example going out for margaritas or jetskiing. 

But after a few hundred days of writing daily I've recently...

October's Formal - 6

You wouldn't believe how much attention went into this one event. In fact for the past two weeks I don't think my friends talked about anything else. I'll also admit that I wasn't free from all this excitement. I too couldn't wait for this Saturday to come.

October's Formal - 5
