The door cracked open, just enough for a nose and a little curiosity to slip through. Some days, that’s how life feels half in, half out, just peeking. 📷

5 Albums That Got Me Through the Week
Saturday, February 22, 2025
Sometimes, a week can feel like a roller coaster of emotions—one day you’re riding high on excitement, and the next you’re in deep reflection. Music, for me, is the constant companion that colors these ups and downs. Here are five albums that not only provided the perfect backdrop for my week but also helped me rediscover different facets of myself. Drake & PartyNextDoor – Some Sexy Songs 4 U I’m a big fan of Drake with the melodies just as Kendrick pointed out (lol).
The beauty of ordinary things:
the war between wanting to be fully seen and wanting to stay safely hidden. I want to write freely, and to carve out a little corner of the internet where my thoughts can breathe. Here’s where I wonder… what if someone reads too deeply and forgets I’m human first, resume second?
The Quiet Power of Listening to Coworker's Ideas
Friday, February 21, 2025
In every workplace, ideas tend to float quietly between conversations, often unnoticed. We get so focused on our tasks, our deadlines, our rhythms, that we forget something simple: every coworker carries a unique perspective that we haven’t lived. Listening to their ideas, not just hearing, but really listening, can unlock solutions we never expected to hear. Sometimes, the breakthrough don’t really come from the loudest voice in the room but from the passing comments, maybe a half-finished thought in a team meeting, or the brave suggestion from someone usually quiet.
We’re about to step into a whole new era of F1, and honestly, I can already feel the chaos (Max & Lando) or (Lewis & Charles). The F1 Live event was a massive success, bringing fans closer to the action, the teams, and the future of the sport. With new regulations about to be in play along with fresh talent the bottom half of the grid about to be crazy along with the race for the championship.

Why Cardio Felt Different Today
Monday, February 17, 2025
I hit the gym today, fully committed to cardio. Usually, I treat it like a chore kinda like another box to check. But today, I let go of the numbers and focused on the movement. A steady jog, a few incline sprints, and suddenly, I wasn’t just working out. For it kinda seemed like as if I was clearing my head. By the end, I felt lighter, not just physically but mentally.

The beauty of ordinary things: The way socks disappear in the laundry like they’ve been drafted into another dimension. A quiet reminder that mystery lives in the everyday. 😒🤔

I’ve been looking for a trustworthy site to subscribe to the digital version of GO OUT, a Japanese magazine. I read a few print issues while I was in California last December, and it was such a great read along with awesome coverage of outdoor tech and clothing.
I love Not Like Us as a track, but I don’t want it to be the defining song of Kendrick Lamar’s legacy. He’s so much more than that record. His discography captures the Black experience in a way few artists ever have, powerful storytelling, raw emotion, and social commentary into every project. He truly cherishes hip-hop as an art form and never takes it for granted. I just hope people take the time to dive into his body of work and really understand why he won that Pulitzer.
Kendrick Lamar one of the greatest artists of our time. Great halftime show I just wished it was longer.
Time, Honesty, and the Things That Really Matter
Thursday, February 6, 2025
Lately, I’ve been sitting with a thought that keeps resurfacing: some truths in life don’t reveal themselves all at once. Whether it’s love, vulnerability, or understanding the kinds of connections that truly nourish us these things take time. They unfold slowly, almost quietly, often when we’re not even looking for them. But it’s not just time that brings clarity. It’s honesty. The kind of honesty that requires courage the kind that makes you pause and ask yourself the uncomfortable questions.
Told the mechanic I just needed an oil change. He nodded, then whispered, ‘That’s what they all say.’ Then I go down worry that’s all I’m paying for.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an X link on Reddit once, but good for them though.
Many of you entered that booth fully aware that lives would be impacted, rights taken away, families torn apart, and information suppressed.
I think I might have gotten one of those traffic light tickets this morning. I assume they not only track your speed but also check if you’re using your phone. All I remember is seeing one of the brightest flashes in my life.
As we navigate through life, many of us begin to question what we truly want out of a relationship and whether it’s something attainable. We all are unique in many ways, shaped by our experiences and the ever changing circumstances around us. Here’s the question, finding someone who aligns with our values and goals or about growing alongside someone who challenges and complements us in unexpected ways. Relationships, like people, evolve over time, and the journey to understanding what we seek can be as enlightening as the connections themselves.
Not me finding the perfect sleep position, only for my brain to say, ‘Let’s overthink instead.’
Freedom or Chaos?
Tuesday, January 7, 2025
Mark Zuckerberg is getting rid of fact-checking on Meta platforms. Why ?… Fact checking helps hold people accountable for the information they share. Without it, lies and misinformation will spread faster. Only people with something to hide hate being fact-checked. This move seems like a win for liars and scammers. It’s hard not to see how this will lead to more misinformation and even cult-like groups growing based on false promises.
