- Systems Thinking
Systems thinking is a way to look at the world and understand how everything is interconnected. It is also about the idea of thinking about thinking. You get to know the mental models that you have built, how your actions are defined by your assumptions and beliefs, and so much more. If you have time, do comment with the place you are typing from, because I am really curious about the scope of this website. We are after all being connected by a shared interest in typing.
Michael Moorcock
- Stormbringer's Boon
He unstrapped his hell-sword and filing it on the bed of tumbled silks and furs. Wryly he thought back to earlier times when he had given in to despair and how those incidents which had engendered the mood seemed merely gay escapades in comparison to the task which now weighed on his mind. Though weary, he chose not to draw Stormbringer's stolen energy into himself.

- Quoting a pastor
A pastor said "companies should always be hiring followers of Christ. Because it is the Lord who led them to that employment since he knows that the employee is perfectly suited to the job with their current abilities and will thrive as he or she grows past their current capacity." My only question is how to decide that the interviewee is a true disciple or just the average Christian in that short hour? Colossians 3:23.

- Single Man Tear
A single man tear slips down his face. He shows emotion without a trace. He hides behind a mask so strong, were it that he could be wrong. I wish that he could see the way I see him. The perfect brother, a man without sin. 'Cause underneath the manly sheen, it is my brother, a boy named Dean.
Carl Jung
- Isolation
I truly believe at what Carl Jung said. "No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you."
Avenue Q
- For Now
Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied. Everyone goes 'round a bit empty inside. Take a breath, look around, and swallow your pride; for now. Nothing lasts. Life goes on full of surprises. You'll be faced with problems of all shapes and sizes. You're going to have to make a few compromises; for now. But only for now. Don't stress, relax. Let life roll off your back. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now.

- The Deal
"What's the catch?" the boy asked, his heart beating just a bit too fast. The demon's grin widened, its eyes glinting with ancient, wicked glee. "Ah, young one," it purred, "the catch is not in the deal itself but in the price of understanding".

- How Did I Get Here?
I don't really know how I got here. I really don't know what's driving me anymore. I don't even know what I believe. I feel like I've become a puppet, to spout positions that are good for the party. I am a cog in the machine.

- Neovim btw
Calling all programmers who'd like to improve their editing skills and non-programmers who love keyboard shortcuts. If you're already using VSCode, you can try the Vim extension. To start, you can just learn about the motions instead of immediately jumping in and using Vim or Neovim as an editor. You can carry this skill with you everywhere you go!

- To think you would fall in love.
Approaching a girl, if only you'd thought about it sooner, you would've stepped forward, seized your chance at shooting your shot. Standing before perfection, you think to yourself, do I go for it? Before your brain settles on an answer, you doubt yourself and come back to the question again. Then the opportune moment slips further and further away, leaving you with your own thoughts to torture yourself with. An man's endless peril in society.
Sensei Wu
- Long before time had a name
Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all: Lord Garmadon. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.

- As it happens, here we go again.
So, in an effort to disguise that procrastination, we end up here, typing unceasingly. But I came up with a solution. Create a custom text of a few lines length in which you state what tasks you should complete by the end of the day or what you should be doing now. Then type it again and again. Hopefully, when you get tired or bored you will direct your attention to the tasks that really matter and that you can't get out of your head.

- Thoughts
I just want to travel. I am self-conscious of the fact that there is an entire world out there that I have not seen because of the stupid and petty obligations that seem to surround me. Many of you are probably in the same boat - going to and from school or work everyday almost without any sense of meaningfulness. What will it all matter in 50 years, when your youth is depleted and your vitality is gone? I'm not advocating for mindlessness - do what you have to do, but also enjoy life now.

- Luv(sic) Part 2
Once again, now where do I start, dear love. Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here. Every mornin' I awake from a cavernous night, sometimes still pondering the previous plight. Seems life done changed long time no speak, nowadays I often forget the day of the week. Taking it by stride if you know what I mean, no harm done no offense taken by me.
Into the Woods
- Giants in the Sky
So you scramble down and you look below, and the world you know begins to grow; the roof, the house, and your mother at the door - the roof, the house, and the world you never thought to explore. And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between. And you're back again, only different than before. After the sky!

- Touching Grass?
Why touch grass when you can sit in front of the computer and do typing tests? Why touch grass when you can sit in front of the computer and program something cool? Sitting in front of the computer isn't necessarily bad, it gets a bad rep these days but only because some of us do it too much. Get up, take a walk, look at something faraway to rest your eyes. But hey, it's okay to sit in front of the computer. I'll allow it.

- Marriage without Lust
The concept of waiting until marriage becomes more desirable as I age. As a young man, if I want my future wife to be relatively celibate, I should hold myself to the same standard. And by doing this, I am now starting to see so many benefits to my mental health, use of time, and overall productivity because I'm no longer chasing the box.

- Dreams are Visits sometimes.
I just read a quote where they were talking about dreams and how you needed to make them happen instead of saying it made something you dreamed happen. Well I firmly believe that dreams we have of loved ones passed are "visits" from that loved ones spirit. And I can only speak for myself when saying I am thankful for those dreams.

- prison for life
I'm a feminist, obviously, but I wouldn't really mind him saving me. And I know that I'm fine without a man- but I think I would like his protection. I'm just being honest, can't change what I like. I'll never forget, he told me one night: "If anybody hurts you... I'm going to prison for life."
Igon, Elden Ring
- bayle
Curse you, Bayle! I hereby vow, you will rue this day! Behold, a true drake warrior, and I, Igon! Your fears made flesh. Solid of scale you might be, foul dragon, but I will riddle with holes your rotten hide! With a hail of harpoons! With every last drop of my being!
