Iphone told me that I have around 3h of phone screen time. But I already neither browse nor text people through social media (consistently). The majority of the time was spent on reading manga instead, though it's tapering off as I have exhausted the pile of legible (not even masterpiece) manga and don't wish for more. Any case, it means that I am already not on social media. For the few people I…
So apparently I am a Peter Pan. It actually checks out pretty nicely. I was a precocious child. I was a high achiever, at least academically. I am non-committal. I am a daydreamer. I am keeping my options open, not committing to anything, not realizing any of the potential life I may have. And being Peter Pan is killing me.

I have no grand philosophical thought this week. Just some random ideas bubbling up in the shower or away from keyboard. 1 I think I have had a lucky life so far . It's just somehow I keep forgetting that and needs to remind myself over and over again.

Around it were only tiny creatures — small frogs, snails, and crabs. Looking up from the bottom of the well, the frog could only see a small patch of sky, no bigger than a pot lid. Every time the frog let out a loud croak, it frightened all the…

I subscribed to a niche small-timeYouTuber. Sometimes in the live stream, he will just watch and react to TikTok videos. For a period of time, I saw videos with a dual screen setup. Half of it is a nonsensical AI video promoting gambling, the other half will be Subway Surfers Gameplay. What is remarkable about it is not the fact that AI video is that realistic. What repels me is the fact that…
