Well wishes from oceans away

Almost almost 27

I received my first birthday present already! From a dear friend. Meant to be held in escrow, but, of course, I couldn’t resist and ripped into it ASAP!

critics rarely create

Lots of things about work are hard. Dealing with trolls is one of them. Trolls are critics who gain perverse pleasure in relentlessly tearing you and your ideas down. Here’s the thing(s):

1. trolls will always be trolling
2. critics rarely create
3. they live in a tiny echo chamber, ignored by everyone except the trolled and the other trolls
4. professionals (that’s you) get paid to ignore them. It’s part of your job.

“Can’t please everyone,” isn’t just an aphorism, it’s the secret of being remarkable.

A Conspiracy of Improbabilities

The stone…after the throw

The word…after it’s said

The occasion…after it’s missed

The time…after it’s gone.

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Such a lovely movie. Love story. Love.

I never quite got into the book as, to me, it simply defied logic and I couldn’t understand how many of him there were at one time, and how, if its in the chronological order of her life, he can meet her half-way through the book when she’s young again! However, I thought to myself, I’ll just watch the movie without analysing the technicalities of it. So I did. Perhaps that how some things should be appreciated, simply as they are. The film is lovely. Must watch.

He can travel back in time and meet who people who have since passed, and she tells him thats such a good thing. He says it doesn’t make a difference; he can’t change things, whatever happens to them will still happen to them. So true.
