Considering WFH(otel) setup
By: Naoki Satoh

We are going to stay at hotel for a week because of the replace work of boiler of our appartment. (We cannot use heater nor hotwater for a week).

Unfortunately my work does not wait for me to compliete boiler work, I have to do not ordinary WFH but WFH(otel).

I used to go on business trip and I am kind of professional of business trip setup. But it is not same as working from Hotel.

When you go on the business trip, basically majority of your work should be done at the local office. so premise is we have at least good office environment for work.

Yes, I do work at the hotel time to time. But it’s the small part of the work. such as… checking emails, and checking some data. So it’s always enough to open your laptop on the small table in your hotel room.

However, I have to consider a bit deeper as I have to do a full set of work whole day in the hotel room.

Since March, I have been working from home and never been in the office. I have set up quite a nice WFH envirnment since then. LG Ultrawide display (essential), nice wireless keyboard and mouse, speaker and microphone as well as Sony’s mirrorless connected for high-grade webcam. All are connected to a USB-C hub so one cable does everything.

I don’t believe I can bring my ultrawide to the hotel room (or can I ?lol), I wish I had a portable 4K display which can be connected only one USB-C cable. Forget about it, no budget.

According to the hotel’s website, there’s “Confirtable working space” in the room. You will however never know how “comfortable” till you’ll really be there.

Anothe idea would be to use TV as big display. but it would not be likely as the layout of TV set in the most of hotel room isn’t ideal for it.

I won’t be totally locked out from my home so I might bring minimum stuff on day first and bring extra as needed. The first plan is to put two laptops (company’s and my own) to use as extended desktop.

My company provides us VDI environment. Besides we can access Azure DevOps or Outlook (O365) without VDI, so my own laptop can also be used as at least sub monitor (thanks to Microsoft).

I plan to use this kind of stand for the main laptopn, might it be too big vertical gap between two laptops tho…?

(I usually use it to adjust the hight of my laptop to fit the ultrawide. very light plastic but stays strong….so far..)

I will write the actual setup once I’ve done at the hotel :)

Gadget Paranoia
Tags: Gadgets, Stress And Anxiety, Tech, Wabi Sabi, Anxiety

A couple of months ago, my almost 2 year old laptop got a hella tiny scratch in one of its corners. Like it was so tiny I had to tilt my head and squint my eyes and give it my undivided attention to find it. But that didn’t stop me from obsessing over it. I kept on telling myself I should’ve been more careful, ignoring the fact that I had kept it intact for 2 years. I really appreciate the things I own so I make sure they’re always well maintained and I knew that about myself. I also knew no matter how much I care for the things I owned, damage and decay to physical objects are inevitable. But that didn’t stop me. So I just googled “What to do when your gadgets are scratched?” — I really didn’t know what I was expecting to find but what I did find was there were a remarkable amount of people who feel the same way I felt

Although I was already relatively familiar with the philosophy of wabi-sabi and I knew I wasn’t going to find anything reassuring, I still googled “How do you mentally deal with scratches on your gadgets?”. I really don’t know what I was expecting to find but what I did find was there were a remarkable amount of people who feel the same way I felt.

So why do I feel this way? Why are there so many others like me? The underlying phenomena of “gadget paranoia” is nothing new. We probably all know people who keep the plastic covers on their toaster, or who won’t open books properly, for fear of cracking the spine. But never before has such fragile gorgeousness been so basic a part of our daily routine.

You buy a laptop or a phone for their functions, not their beauty but you get the beauty too, and that beauty demands upkeep. You become the proud owner of something so sleek, but that’s pride with a background hum of anxiety. After all, it’s a blemish-free slab of sleek aluminium and that means you can never quite forget the risk of dropping or scratching it.

How do we deal with this? The obvious and helpful answer is “just get over it” but that’s of no use. I guess we can start by realising that things are meant to be used and spent and no matter how much we care for the things we own, damage and decay are inevitable. They are physical objects after all.

And then we can embrace wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. It’s believing beauty can be imperfect and incomplete and it’s most certainly impermanent. It focuses on finding beauty within imperfections and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay. And what’s more is that this philosophy doesn’t only apply to things, but to life itself.

If we use things, they will inevitably wear out and it’s just part of the cycle. So the next time something you own gets a scratch or a dent or a gravy spill despite your best efforts to prevent it, appreciate that it is serving its purpose and be grateful that it’s still functioning(if it’s not functioning ie. it’s in pieces or completely ruined you can whine and moan coz that really sux).
Samsung Announces Massive 110-Inch MicroLED TV
Tags: Samsung, Gadgets, Micro Led, Television, Technology

It has a 99.99% screen-to-body ratio and 5.1 channel sound system without an external speaker.

By Matthew Humphries

LCD, OLED, and Quantum Dots, stand aside: Samsung is rolling out the next generation of display technology for its newest television with news of a 110-inch 4K HDR MicroLED TV arriving next year.

Samsung has been working with MicroLED for a while now, and last year launched its modular luxury TV, The Wall, which can be scaled up to 292 inches. But the company is now using the tech for a much more conventional television—albeit a massive one.

“As consumers rely on their televisions for more functions than ever, we are incredibly excited to bring the 110-inch MicroLED to the commercial market,” said Jonghee Han, President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung MicroLED is going to redefine what premium at-home experiences mean for consumers around the world.”

The New Apple Airpods Max Case Looks Like a Bra

The New Apple Airpods Max Case Looks Like a Bra

The Airpods Max over-ear design is primarily what’s trending in many areas after the press release on December 8th. My guts tell me it’s going to be loved by Apple fans, even if the price might be a problem at $549.

AirPods Max combine a custom acoustic design, H1 chips, and advanced software to power computational audio for a breakthrough listening experience with Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and spatial audio. AirPods Max come in five gorgeous colors, including space gray, silver, sky blue, green, and pink, and are available to order starting today, with availability beginning Tuesday, December 15.

(Apple, Newsroom.)

Everyone’s all about the spatial audio and the active noise concellation which doesn’t quite compare to Airpods, the most popular headphones as at now. in my opinion, it’s going to be a hit.

Regardless, let’s talk about the case.

Photo of Airpods Max pouch from Apple

According to Apple, AirPods Max come with a soft, slim Smart Case that puts AirPods Max in an ultralow power state that helps to preserve battery charge when not in use.

I love how Apple comes up with interesting designs without fail. This time, their design looks like a bra. Not just a bra. It also looks like a designer handbag/baguette, a sleeping mask, face mask, and a cup holder. The 90s bikini bra works best for me. I mean, it’s soft and slim — quite similar in my opinion.

The case has an unusual design that wraps around the headphones and leaves the headband exposed — Apple calls this part the “breathable knit mesh canopy” — and it’s drawing comparisons to a purse or a bra.

(Business Insider)

Still, Apple manages to pull this off. Yes, I definitely see Apple walking away with this.

What is the iPad’s Role Among the M1 Mac?
By: J.P. Scott
Tags: Gadgets, iPad, Mac, Apple, Technology

Photo by Ashkan Forouzani on Unsplash

With the addition of the Magic Keyboard, the iPad Pro and Air become the ultimate hybrid devices. As an owner of a Surface Pro and an iPad Pro, what Apple has done with the Magic Keyboard is a more complete vision of what Microsoft set out to do with their hardware. The iPad may lack traditional productivity software, but it makes up for it with alternative applications that can fill the same role (LumaFusion and Affinity Photo come to mind.)

So, that settles it. The iPad is Apple’s Surface Pro!

Well, not quite…

The iPad makes up for the Surface’s shortcomings with an interface designed for touch and battery life that you would expect out of a tablet. Where the iPad begins to trail is in the software department. Alternative apps do help bridge the gap, but industry standards are standards for a reason. The iPad may benefit from a more robust software selection in the future as developers transition to Apple Silicon — but we’re not there yet.

Apple may find success with an educational market push. It wouldn’t be outrageous to choose an iPad over a Chromebook, especially for digital note-taking with the Apple Pencil. The iPad hits a wide range of price points, and with desktop-class browsing, it’s definitely a contender. Students may be disadvantaged by the lack of browser extensions and the additional keyboard they need to lug around.

Is the iPad redundant?

On paper, the iPad is redundant. But, there’s something about the device that doesn’t translate in the numbers. It’s a joy to use.

As a companion device to a laptop, it can be a lightweight media device that can handle a moderate workload in a pinch, and it can serve as a second display for your laptop.

As a solo device, you’d be hard-pressed choosing an iPad over an M1 Mac. The current MacBook lineup will give you better performance, battery life, and a richer software library.

I love my iPad, I will still reach for it 9/10 times for my home computing, but I hope Apple has a plan for the device going forward.
A Very OneZero Gift Guide

Many of us on the OneZero editorial team have at previous jobs spent months fending off PR agencies pitching gadgets of questionable use and longevity in order to produce an annual Holiday Gadget Gift Guide that may or may not have been littered with affiliate codes.

This is not that.

This year Dave Gershgorn convinced the members of our team to tell him about the service or gadget that helped them endure this year. Yes, you might see AirPods, iPads, and Nintendo Switches on this list, but you’ll also see color-changing lightbulbs, deck-building video games (I had to look that up), and other gadgets and services that bring us joy when we step away from what senior editor Sarah Kessler calls, our “desk/prisons.”

Please enjoy our list and click and buy this stuff for yourself or others only if you want to — not because you think we’ll be getting back some money from affiliate codes. And if you really want to support us, feel free to give the gift of a Medium subscription.

Google Wants Creators On Chrome OS

Video/Photo Editing

WeVideo (2-Months Subscription)

If you want full video-editing power on any Chromebook, this is your best bet. WeVideo’s entire process takes place in the cloud, allowing even the slowest of Celeron processors to get in on the action.

If you’re using a Chromebook as your primary computer, I think apps like this one are necessary to close the functionality gaps you might run into. If you’re on the fence about purchasing one of the premium tiers, now you can try them out for free. If you want more info on how this performs on a mid-range Chromebook, I reviewed it last month.

Kapwing (2-Months Free With a 1-Year Subscription)

Screen capture by author

Honestly, this app is more of a meme-maker than a serious editor. Plus, you have to drop $200+ on the annual subscription, making this more of a discount than a gift.

Either way, it’s nice that we have the option of using three different editors in the span of a couple of months.

PicsArt (1-Month Trial)

PicsArt is one of my favorite tools for quick edits. Recently, they’ve added video editing functionality too, making this a great pick up if you’d like to dip your toes in both Videography and Photography.

The annual subscription is about $55 as well, so this trial period will help you decide if it’s worth it to you.

BeFunky (2-Months Trial)

Screen capture by author

Designed to be a complete photo-editing workshop, BeFunky describes itself as an all-in-one tool for everyone. Besides working on your photographs, the app has graphic design tools, too.

There are quite a few programs with this same functionality, but it’s nice to get a couple of months to try this one out.
Apple Watch Series 6 Review — More than I expected
By: Bugra Gulculer
Tags: Gadgets, Apple Watch, Health, Apple, Technology

I was so close two years ago when Series 4 was announced, but I couldn’t pull the trigger. That was because of the significant price increase in where I live. Now, it is 2020; we are mostly in our homes and don’t know what we want to do with our lives. That was the motivation for me to buy the brand new Apple Watch Series 6. I accept that it is a weird motivation, but here I am, talking about it.

Like in the iPad Pro 2020 case, I made the buying decision for this device incredibly fast. To be honest, I had many questions in my mind, thinking about if I need it or not. I didn’t know the answer, and the only way to find out was to buy it or leave it. I decided to buy it; if I can’t find any value, I would still return it so, I purchased the Space Gray Nike Edition 44mm Apple Watch Series 6. That is a long name.

When the package arrived, I was unbelievably excited. Inside the main box, two boxes greeted me, one for the Watch and one for the band. I don’t want to talk about not having the power brick; I understand that it makes shipping much easier since it is much smaller in volume, but power brick is still an essential part of any device. I mean, we need it to charge the device.

Back to the Watch, as a person who doesn’t wear any watch for the last couple of years, having something on my wrist felt different. Sometimes, I just wanted to get rid of the Watch because I was not used to carrying something on my wrist. Still, I feel different in some moments in a day, but I am starting to get used to it more and more. This is a personal problem.

After I unpacked the boxes, I immediately opened it and set it up. It was super easy to set up the Watch. In 10 minutes, it was ready to go. There were clear warnings and some notifications to make some cases clear. Compared to the iPhone and iPad set up, you will see the same kind of information. From now on, I want to discuss the watch topic by topic to keep things simple and straightforward.

Entrepreneurship 101: How to fight like a warrior… inspired by Joshua Wong
By: Marianne Caroline Hughes
Tags: Leadership, Courage, Entrepreneurship, Fighter, Inspirational

It’s been a while since I put pen to paper on a blog post… but I felt like today was a good day to do it, in remembrance of someone called Joshua Wong.

Joshua Wong, like many great Entrepreneurs and Creatives, knew how to fight a battle. It’s often been said of me that I know ‘How to fight’ which I take as a great compliment, but it’s been inspired by my experiences as well as inspirational people. At times we are all called to fight like a warrior… but how exactly do we learn how to do it? This is one of the questions I will consider as I reflect on the memory of Josh.

To fill you in if you don’t know already, Josh passed away on Christmas Day due to cancer. But it doesn’t mean he lost the fight. In fact, I think he won it in many ways.

As a bit of background, Josh was an incredible creative who held a few titles: Film-maker, Movie Director (self-funded!), Entrepreneur… and for Kno Global, our Creative Director.

I got to know Josh for the first time over a coffee, where he decided (to my surprise) that he wanted to support us and the company I started in more ways than one. He quickly became part of the team, saw me in some of my worst moments, and taught me a lot about how to have successful relationships at work.

He was a fighter. From the day I met him, he always seemed to be fighting for something… whether that was a cause or a person he cared about. There was always something big and worth fighting for in his mind! Which I think is something we can all relate to. So, what are some of the things I noticed about him, which made him a good fighter?
Your path to inner peace #2 : Accept your circumstances
By: Shreya Garg
Tags: Self Love, Self-awareness, Acceptance, Courage, Self

So you have hit rock bottom. Nothing is going right. This is the end. Okay. Agreed, your circumstances may not be as good as you hoped them to be. But you can’t just give up already!

I know. I know. It’s very difficult for you to think straight right now. So drop it. Drop the idea of trying to control everything. Often times we feel we can control our circumstances. But in reality, we can’t do anything about it. The damage has been done. And you just have to live with the damage for some time. Don’t hate yourself for it. Oh no, not at all! This is life, buddy. School is over. You feel you are unlucky. But the harsh truth is you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Stop fretting.

Accept your situation. Just accept it for what it is.

Day 5: Disappointment

When I started this journey 5 days ago, I was brimming with hope as I had two whole readers on Day 1 and I was just hoping for 3 readers the next day and so on and so forth. But its day 5 and reader count is zero. Nada. Zilch. I’m thoroughly disappointed and asking myself if there is any point in continuing? But then what did I expect after getting back to blogging after so long? And what do I have to lose? Confidence? Well I don’t have much of it anyway, so here goes nothing. This journey shall continue, no matter what. Wish me luck!

Your path to inner peace #3: You are stronger than you think you are Shreya Garg ·Dec 26, 2020

Things are bad. Oh they are terrible! You need to fully accept your situation. As it is. No assumption. No 'what if' or 'why me’? Just accept the truth for what it is. It is brutal. It makes you feel worthless. But it is so very true. Irrespective of how you feel right now, don’t lose yourself. I know you have been wronged. I know the world’s unfair. But I also know that there’s a lesson for you here. This devastating situation is to strengthen you. You will break down. You will cry your heart out. You will feel pathetic for days to come. But, what if you actually survive this emotional upheaval? Wouldn’t you consider yourself stronger and more mature?
Persevere till you walk free

February 11, 1990, 4:15 PM. A tall, sturdy, seventy-one-year-old man in a well-tailored suit walks out onto a street of over 50,000 people and raises his right fist. He stands tall. Unbowed, unbroken, unbeaten. Nelson Mandela was finally walking free towards the dream that was always his destiny.

Three prisons. Ten thousand days. Twenty-seven years. Eighteen of those years in an eight-foot by seven-foot cell lit only by a single 40-watt bulb that would stay on day and night.

There is much to be said for routine — when we assume it ourselves, it is a form of stability, tranquility, symmetry. When imposed upon us, it becomes a form of oppression, domination, harassment.

Mandela would rise at 5.30 AM each day, wash and shave in cold water, empty a small iron bucket of his faeces, eat tasteless porridge, and go to work breaking rocks and digging in a limestone quarry. He exercised each day and studied law and history when he was allowed to, distracting himself from news (delivered by guards through newspaper clippings left outside his cell) of the death of his son or the constant harassment of his family. He constantly found ways to protest and make his point — they could imprison his body, but never his mind and soul.

Working in the quarry permanently damaged Mandela’s eyes, blistered his hands and rendered him ill several times (for which he would be locked up in a cold, wet cell as further punishment). But it could never break his spirit or blur his vision of a free, fair and equal South Africa which he would one day lead.

Nelson Mandela walked towards his dream slowly, surely. Year after year, week after week, day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. Through every excruciatingly painful second. For twenty-seven years.

Will you have the perseverance to walk till you achieve your goal?

What single thing you should only focus on?
Tags: Life, Courage, Development, Ideas, Happiness

You can spend hours and hours thinking about what would you like to learn, what you need to know, in what you have to focus on…And you will always come up with great ideas, great to-do’s lists, great plannings for the coming months. But they are not important. And achieving your utopian life is impossible. Whenever you achieve something you will want more and more, you will never ever feel satisfied.

But you have only to focus on is in nothing. You have to learn how to live with no worries, with freedom, with just worrying about living! Dear friend, it’s important you just enjoy your life, and that’s the focus.

I’ve spent so many years, and a lot of letdowns when I achieved all of my goals and more but I wasn’t enough sated, to realise that the most important and appreciate moment in life is when you are just living. When you just appreciate this beautiful moment and disconnect from your work stress, from family problems, from your discussion with your friend…When you don’t overthink. When you just say “hey, I am enjoying this”, and it doesn’t matter if you are just laughing from a bad joke of trash TV serie.

You can enjoy in a lot of ways, it doesn’t mean that to enjoy life you have to live in a paradise island, drinking mojitos, dancing and with no corona-virus. Enjoy life is drinking your coffee every morning, it’s a walk to buy some groceries, it’s a call with your auntie, it’s a running after work, it’s a hot shower in a cold day, it’s taking a nap, it’s watching a good movie with your friends, it’s a makeshift dinner with an old colleague, it’s just f*ing living.

All of us want the best of our lives, we want to be rich, have a good family, have time to travel and to spend holidays in Caribbean…That’s not a secret. Neither that a lot of people will achieve this dreamy life, but having all of it will not make them happy, because they will still focusing in earning and achieving more and more thing.

Life is not a bingo. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win. Just living you are winning. Because there are friend we don’t know what is behind the other door. So to really enjoy life just focus on enjoy it.

I am going to challenge you, during the next hours, the next days, the next weeks, the next months: the next year — Try to focus in living. Try to enjoy has much as possible every pretty detail of living. I imagine you are thinking that you spend 24/7 working or studying, what this can also be joyful!!

Meet your colleagues, argument your points, make your point, convince others why you are right, have the courage to fail, speak a lot and listen more, take a bio-break, propose something new, learn about this skill you have parked for some months, focus on the details you love of your work or career…

When he walked out that fateful day of July 27, 1890 ready to end his life, how could Vincent van Gogh have possibly imagined the impact that he would leave on the world for centuries to come?

He had been called everything from a madman to a failure. His lovers spurned him and his friends forsook him. Even God abandoned him, as he failed his theology exams and was dismissed by the church authorities for “undermining the dignity of the priesthood”. His only acceptance came from deep within himself in the form of his art.

And what art it was! Still lifes. Portraits. Landscapes. Oh, the richness of color! Carmine. Cobalt blue. Emerald green. Blue and orange in contrast. Yellow. Mauve. Each painting a blend — of creativity and madness, passion and obsession, fantasy and reality. He painted while grieving, he painted while rejoicing, he painted while intoxicated, he painted while restrained, he painted when ailing, he painted when strong.

In an artistic life spanning a mere 10 years, van Gogh completed 860 oil paintings and over 1,300 watercolors and sketches. In his entire life spanning 37 years, he sold only one. The world would open their minds and their eyes to the magnificence of his art only years later.

Will you have the perseverance to continue if your heart says it’s right?

Imagine you

In your tiara

Trying it out

Thinking it’s funny

Liking the spectacle.

Courage in your hand

Down your throat

Slammed on the table.

Imagine you

Standing on a hill

Next to the knife's edge

Tasting the horizon

Facing your Northern star,

You point to your pen

You push against the wall

And dare yourself to move a plan.

Imagine the distance shrinking

Between you and a friend

You can hear their whispers echo

“You can fly”

You can fly

-So you take to your wings,

The ones you recently won

But were reluctant to use

And you consider for a moment

Jumping off your pivot

Into a perfect glide,

Free floating like a mermaid

Across the sky.

Dedicated to Oscar Wilde And Gloria Gaynor

Imprisoned

and sentenced to hard labor

for being a homosexual,

Wilde’s Portrait of Dorian Grey

captured,

as well as any work ever,

the costs of having to live

a secret life.

As our species moves

towards understanding

that being gay

is no more a choice

than being straight,

we must accept heroes

of other cultures

and remember

Wilde’s final words,

spoken from his deathbed:

“Either that wallpaper goes,

or I do.”

You’ve got to admit,

that maybe this

could be a fighting anthem

for every brave

drag-queen to ever

strut onto a stage . . .

Risk

My memories start from the age of three. My world even then seemed very different from my childhood friends; bigger, more troubling, and more beautiful. Their worlds seemed so small; all about them and their immediate wants and needs. They could be so mean and cruel in trying to meet their desires, indifferent and/or oblivious to the feelings and existence of others. I realized later that many people, sadly, never grew far beyond that. We are what we practice and think about. Those who are selfish can’t serve themselves enough….those that are thoughtful and feel compassion, find ways to cast their net of caring farther and farther.

I feel so blessed to have had the sense, for as long as I can remember, that I had angelic or ancestral protection. I wasn’t scared to take risks and trusted that I would be o.k. and things would work out. I could extend myself for others without feeling I would have or be any less. I could follow my passions, which often involved some risk, and know that I would land on my feet. While life has frequently not gone as I expected, and I’ve definitely had times when my faith was shaken, I’ve always found my way back to that place of knowing things are unfolding beautifully and perfectly. The more life I’ve lived, the more the evidence for that stacks up.

When faced with risk, I make it as measured as possible, but keep moving forward. While I often get a sense of what’s up ahead, sometimes the next step or two may be all I can make out, like Indiana Jones crossing over the fire when the stones of the pathway appear only as he takes the step. I certainly feel fearful at times, but tuning in, the fear subsides, and I see the next step to take. I’m grateful I haven’t shut life out by trying hard to make or keep it too sterile or safe. I’m glad to have found a level of comfort with that which is outside my control and enjoy the sense of truly living.

Communication requires courage, too. Often, it is easier to stay in silence to avoid any unexpected misunderstanding and yet another conflict. Thank you for sharing this story.

As he lined up in Lane 5 for the 400m semi-final at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Derek Redmond felt good about his chances. Forced to withdraw from the first heat in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games due to injury, Redmond had refused to accept the limitations of his own body and come into the ’92 games as a medal favorite.

Less than 17 seconds and 250m later, his dream lay shattered as he pulled up in agony. His hamstring had given way. In what would later become a “Celebrate Humanity” video of the International Olympic Committee, Redmond insisted on finishing what he had started, hobbling slowly and painfully towards the finish line. A packed Olympic stadium watched and applauded as Redmond’s father jumped onto the track from the stands and helped his son past the finish line, where he collapsed, crying inconsolably in his arms.

History, clinical as it is, recorded that he “did not finish” as he was disqualified for receiving external help. Humanity, emotional as we are, recorded it for posterity best through a Visa advertisement noting “he and his father finished dead last, but he and his father finished.”

Derek Redmond would never achieve his dream of winning an Olympic medal, but he did give the world a valuable life lesson that day — giving up isn’t an option.

Will you have the perseverance to finish what you’ve started?

Here.

I take responsibility.

Of the past and the present and the future.

Of everything, I have been and I will be.

I take responsibility for the choices and their consequences.

In isolation, I take responsibility for my solitude.

In indecision, I take responsibility for my words.

In rejection, I take responsibility for my ability to recover.

In recovery, I take responsibility for my losses.

In this phase of growth, I take responsibility for the mere mortality of my body.

In this limited existence, I take responsibility for my relentless unlimited soul.

I take responsibility for not having taken responsibility for the things that matter to me the most.

I take responsibility for every single time I accepted less than what I know I deserve.

I take responsibility for lacking courage in the moments I needed courage the most.

Self-respect.

I discover self-respect through the words coming out of my soul.

I embrace self-respect through the unchartered territories that I have already traversed.

Within me, there is a surging, uprising voice that is conquering every voice that has ever made my spirits feel weak, feel timid.

I am discovering self-respect in my voice, as I learn to voice everything I did not voice yet, on my behalf.

I see now, through my limited ability to understand life and the world as it is, only through the mere experience of being human.

On my spectrum of extremities, I discover balance in my self-respect.

Here I am myself.

Here I am alive.

Here I have self-respect.

Here I have courage.

Here I am free.

Here I am speaking my truth.

Here I am walking yet another new territory.

Here I am alone.

Here I am complete.

Here, I sit with my self-respect.

Here, I find myself complete.

Keep Your Dreams/Hopes Close…

…but your nightmares/fears closer.

Never let your enemies know

how to do you harm because

if they know how, they will.
