A Question Mark

Creativity boost! Answer: questions!

If there is something that always gets me knock out of writing, drawing, and anything that has something to do with creativity is in fact, the lack of creativity. It’s not that I lack of creativity, but that at the moment, there no inspiration, and no creativity, as an energy value, not as a adjective, [...]

Complaining about something you don’t like?

Some time ago I wrote in my notebook “Change things to complain about by different things to complain about”. As almost always, it was in the night/morning time —I was sleepy—, and by the time I woke up the next day I forgot the meaning of that. It sadly happens a lot, but just few [...]

Yes

Yes. The power of a single word.

I don’t really like the concept of neurolinguistics and honestly I find it unrealistic. Yet I do find interesting the words “yes” and “no”. Not as words per se, but as essences of affirmation and negation, respectively. People usually tend to balance, to think affirmatively about some thoughts, actions, behavior, and negatively about other thoughts, [...]

Take a moment to think about moments

Every moment you do something or don’t do something is different. That’s obvious, but what’s not is that we usually don’t think about time as a series of moments. We think about years, about months some times. We think about weeks as a separated time unit, more attached to days than to months or years [...]
