EARL GREY WITH LEMON.
This post is a quick dive. This is more of skimming the pool. A light splash in a puddle on a bumpy road or like unfortunate fortunate condensation turned image at the bottom of a teacup.
When would I flex my flowery language, then?
SLOW LIFE
I have embraced the slow life off of social media in 2022 of last year for several reasons (which can be explored later), but for me essential.
With its best intentions, this newsletter is to gleam different insights from the ‘ikigai’ of my life and bring forth some inspiration, insight, and creative musings that some could find helpful or interesting and allow me to create without constraints of a hyper-professional structure.
You know, “Writing for leisure. Writing for expression. Writing as Therapy.”
Pay attention to what is not being said. Despite all the context, what is not said is where you find the most information. This pertains to works in art and prose but also conversations.
It is true what needs to be most impressed on a person, a persona will purge in the first 10 minutes. A little life hack I learned from the observation deck.
CATURDAY.
Caturday is total work interrupted. There is another shift on the horizon. I didn’t gestate or hibernate fully to bring forth my next step. Yet here it is. Life keeps all of us on our toes. Here is another morsel to chew on,
“You want something different. Do something different.”
I wanted different, and now I am differentiating full circle.
Cryptic language is for secret ring decoders, those who catch the patterns and imagery.
REFLECTIONS ON THE POND:
What assumptions do people make about you?
What generalizations and stereotypes have you broken?
Do you think perception always makes projections?
With Gratitude,
