every new year I write a post about my aspirations for the year, this year I wrote about how I just want the year to be uneventful, and why the word "uneventful" bodes very well for me: https://t.co/y6840AT9wM

wrote a 2024 review post. it may get quite depressing – "2024 is about learning how to live in a world that is slowly getting destroyed." – but otherwise contains mundane bits of my life: https://t.co/SJSngpQLPh

while prepping for a trip recently i was reminded that i didn't used to buy travel insurance because i was so oblivious to the potential dangers in life. so i wrote about some thoughts on the contrasts between then and now, on how i am feeling my age: https://t.co/DmF9ps76Hr

inspired by a quote from a book i wrote about why the ability to see our selves for who we are can impact so much of the quality of our lives: https://t.co/ycSUgEZT41

@iwelsh thanks for the response….not to mention the negative emotions do eat away at our physical health too.

around one year ago I started strength-training, so I wrote about the journey. when i started writing i thought it would be a short easy piece, but it turned out to be 2,000 words?? I used to be really physically weak, so this means a lot to me: https://t.co/WiipFewqxN

I seldom write book reviews because they are so tedious to write, but the book "Endure" impacted me enough to do so. here i share my book notes, and thoughts on how it relates to my self and my day to day life: https://t.co/EpB8X0498p

using games (and stardew valley) as a metaphor, i wrote about how these days i live life like i am playing a solo rpg – just doing my own thing, without interacting much with people: https://t.co/VAkmNZOUKu

sometimes i write posts with no specific topic but meanders around thoughts swirling in my mind – inner transformation, the prison that is my mind, why i like exercise, seeking happiness & fulfilment in the context of this broken world: https://t.co/DJnvBTLRd6
