Things That Smell Good

I have a theory - Hand soap is the best scent carrier. Casual, refreshing and it’s always your own scent experience.

After years of looking, here are the winner babies.

I Need a Job But

Do I want it? - Observations from all my previous jobs.

Why do jobs suck? Why does almost no one like their job? It’s taken for granted; we joke about it, but it’s a deeper problem.

We as humans are born to work. Work is dignified; work aligned with our heart is enjoyable. But why can’t jobs be?

Unbothered As F

Are Mola Mola dumb? Probably. They couldn’t swim fast. They couldn’t escape when being hunted and bitten by sharks and seals.

After a ferocious bite, they drift away - some die, some just live on. Do they feel the pain?

To me, there’s a quiet, immense strength behind their unbotheredness.
