Thinking of going back to school next spring. Finally made a savings account. Changed my loan repayment plan. Saw 3 friends in one weekend (I rarely do this). Still reading and going to the library :). Going out more often which is great, but a lot of money is being spent. Hey! Using it while I have it. I’m happier. Consistent journaling. Practicing… ## [I don't remember...](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/i-dont-remember/) _2026-04-18 · silvers · from: silver_ 2026. Wednesday. April 15. 3:15PM. Lunch break over. A quote pops in my head. "Must've not been that important, if you can't remember." I was either told this, or I've read it a lot somewhere. Maybe both! It got me thinking. I forget important stuff all the time. I should blog about this. So here I am. Fearing I would forget this thought, I searched for my pen and something to write on. Ended up… ## [Finished my fifth book of the year!](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/finished-my-fifth-book-of-the-year/) _2026-04-15 · silvers · from: silver_ On my lunch break today, I finished reading Boulder by Eva Baltasar. I have been reading 5 books simultaneously and this was the fourth to make it to the finish line. In the past, I've had this issue with falling asleep every time I would read. In college, waiting between my classes, I would go to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square and read. Well, I tried to read. Maybe 10 pages into each book.… ## [Articulate](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/articulate/) _2026-04-15 · silvers · from: silver_ I wish to articulate my thoughts more clearly. My mind moves much faster than my mouth. Stumbling over words and freezing. Everything is so clear in my thoughts, but when I open my mouth. Nothing. Sometimes after I write I erase it all, because it doesn't read like how I want it to. I wish I could accurately describe everything I see or think. My mental images, my thoughts. I wish to start a… ## [Out of sight, out of mind](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/out-of-sight-out-of-mind/) _2026-04-11 · silvers · from: silver_ This is an update for Struggling with the phone . Allowing myself to only use social media on my second phone has been a game changer. Initially, I put a 1 hour limit on the second phone, but eventually turned it off because I was iffy about it. Turns out I did not even need the limit. I've been averaging around 30 minutes of screen time on that phone. Huge difference of my social media usage,… ## [Spent some money on myself today.](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/spent-some-money-on-myself-today/) _2026-04-11 · silvers · from: silver_ I finally hit the purchase button. Decision paralysis defeated. I have trouble buying things, especially for myself. The guilt that comes from abandoning my hyperfixations is quite unbearable. I'm working on it. I wouldn't necessarily say I have a spending problem. Maximum 4 times out of the year I splurge. It isn't repeated consistent spending, so I give myself some grace. But the parts leading… ## [Struggling with the phone](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/struggling-with-the-phone/) _2026-04-05 · silvers · from: silver_ My phone addiction is nearly uncontrollable on the weekends. Throughout the week it isn't so bad since I work full-time, but if I don't have plans during the weekend it gets pretty bad. It's not even about it being the weekend. I've always struggled with not doing so well when not having a structured routine. It's so easy to slip into phone mode. Almost like I've been conditioned to be this way. I… ## [Draft not for long](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/draft-not-for-long/) _2026-04-05 · silvers · from: silver_ The last I posted on Bear was not too long ago. Not beating myself up over it. But man the drafts that are piling up on my dashboard. Now those. You see. Yeah. Overwhelming. Perfectionism and shame love each other so very much. I need to separate those two. This one being a shorter post compared to the others is bothering me. While typing out the tags, I'm wondering what I can call these types of… ## [Open directory of blogs (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/rhvHP1gfq6M8) _2026-04-05 · **Sponsored**_ Drop URLs or OPML — get per-blog pages plus machine-readable JSON, OPML, text ## ["It's not you, it's me"](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/its-not-you-its-me/) _2026-03-29 · silvers · from: silver_ In the past, I would get annoyed when people asked me questions that they could easily find the answer to on the internet. Not with real life conversations, but in online conversations or texts. I think it's wonderful that we get to be curious and ask real human beings we know, or don't know, things. It has a certain charm. I wondered why it bothered me so much. Did some thinking and found the… ## [Revisiting places](https://silvers.bearblog.dev/revisiting-places/) _2026-03-29 · silvers · from: silver_ Recently, I visited one of my local libraries. I have 2 that are a 10 minute walking distance from my house. The route to the one I went to on this gloomy Friday has a similar path to one I would walk from school to home. The beginning of my walk felt. Heavy. My body remembered the anguish. I grieved for my younger self. Something I do from time to time. Feeling it through familiarity of… ## [The Story of Pritha](https://riteshjsr.wordpress.com/2025/11/04/the-story-of-pritha/) _2025-11-04 · Ritesh · Lined With Gold_ “When the fire came for me, I did not run. Some flames burn the body. Others set the atman free.” I am Kunti. I live in this ashram in a forest not far from Hastinapur – a place that I retired to, a few years ago. My days pass in meditation, listening to the sages … Continue reading The Story of Pritha ## [So Nice!](https://riteshjsr.wordpress.com/2025/10/14/so-nice/) _2025-10-14 · Ritesh · Lined With Gold_ “Why are people here so nice Baba?”, asked my 12 year old daughter. We were in a tile making workshop in the village of Athanagudi in Chettinad, Tamil Nadu. A few minutes ago, we were welcomed into the workshop, and two men there were kind enough to show us how these famous tiles are made, … Continue reading So Nice!
