Come on, give me the chills

Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.

  • easy to forget

    It’s easy to slack, to lose an habit, because we tend to fall for our traps.

    laziness is first, and it’s one of the many things we have.
    I myself tend to avoid things too, and writing (lately) has been on of those things, but I know I shouldn’t.

    Keeping up with what you preach and promise is part of how you define yourself and your integrity and it builds up the way you “live” the world.

    If you ignore this and let the slack grow over you you’ll end up being a version of yourself you didn’t expect.

  • what makes friends differ from each other

    Warmth.

    How much warmer is their hug? How vulnerable it is?
    That is my difference, how I look into the relationship.

    A hug, the way they greet me and I greet them. The way I try to connect silently with no words.

    The way I think of them is all about the way our bodies interact, not what we say, but how our “start/finish” behaviour is.

    There are so many different hugs, so many ways of saying goodbye, and you can tell the difference.

    You can spot a bad moment in their life just by looking at how they greet you when you come and go. How much they hug you strongly, how personal the kiss on the cheek is.

    Some take distances, some do not.

  • the streaming era

    We are losing possession of what we pay for, is that good or bad?

    I look at my book library in my house and I think that, 10 years from now, many people won’t have it anymore, replaced by a kindle.

    Movies? You got netflix.

    Sound? Spotify/Apple music

    And the list goes on and on. We pay for subscriptions instead of buying real things. We end up with nothing on our end.
    It might sound problematic but that’s the way it goes and for some of these things it makes sense. We all want to spend less and have more, streaming is a solution for our problem.

    If the world takes this route, it is because we are the ones guiding it.
    We are the ones deciding what we want.

  • recognizing the effort

    One of the things I’ve learned over time is to recognize the efforts other people make for me, at work on in general life.

    Why is this important?
    First, it is my duty to notice it.

    Second: it rewards them because they know their effort, whatever the outcome, has been seen. It’s not wasted, even if the result is a disaster, the only fact that their work is recognized makes it worthwhile.

    It is such a simple act you can do to others (and to yourself) and it is so fulfilling and so beautiful.

  • producing a high level tv show

    Just finished watching person of interest and I must admit that producing a high quality tv show is hard.

    The talks in the show must be reasonable, characters must behave congruently and not change. The show should be plausible at least.

    It seems easy to condemn a tv show, but producing one? A hell of a work.
