People underestimate how much they underestimate

Indie Hackers often use the rhetoric of only wanting to make X money or not needing to make it big, but when I observe their message I think they still don't realize just how big their ask is.

I don't mean the dollar amount. Wanting to make $100-300k USD isn't an...

As a society we use popular stories to prepare ourselves for big journeys. I think because we sexualize women too much and also tabooify menstruation that we put a lot of girls through a lot of unnecessary pain. I imagine that it's rare that a girl feels super supported when...

Pay your dues

It's hilarious how we go through life proclaiming we're ready to do something, but go against it everyday. It becomes even easier when the proclamation is a well accepted thing that we've seen our heroes proclaim. Something like the term paying your dues . Everyone knows that whatever domain they...

The 30 minutes a day writer

So I guess I'm writing just as much today as any other day? Why? Because even if it's my girlfriend's birthday, there are moments when I actually do get some free time. And I haven't reached a stage where I need 3-4 hours to write in a day.Β

Buchimgae

It's a Korean tradition to make seafood pancakes -- or buchimgae-- when it rains. There's two reasons for this. First is audible, the sizzling in the oiled pan sounds eerily like rain. Second is the cool calm that follows on a rainy day.
