The untracked parts of being alive. Books that unsettled me, ideas I cannot shake, and honest writing about what it actually feels like to be human in a world that wants you to optimise everything.
Siddhartha wanted nothing. We cannot stop counting.

On frictionless lives, hollow mornings, and the strange comfort of washing your own dishes.

On structured problems, wicked problems, and why speedcubing exists but speed-startups don't.

On moral performance, the psychology of public correction, and why doing visible small things can replace doing meaningful large ones.

On color, light, green spaces, and the invisible design of your emotional life

Why rainy scenes feel emotional, uncertain, and personal
