What I Learned From Leaving Things Unresolved

Last week, I wrote about overthinking an unresolved situation and using one question to stop the loop: “Do I have new information?” You can read that post here A few days later, I finally did get new information. Nothing dramatic. Just a small sign that things were moving again. I felt relieved. But I was not particularly excited. That reaction taught me more than I expected. When communication changes, it is easy to treat the silence itself as an answer. […]

I did almost nothing today.

Or at least, that was how it felt. I stayed in bed rolling around with one of my cats until noon. I went out for lunch. I vacuumed. I played with my new vacuum, because yes, a new vacuum deserves playtime when you bought it at a good deal. I mopped the floor sometime around 4 or 5pm. I had plans. I wanted to prepare some content for the coming weeks. I thought about bringing one of the cats out […]

What ChatGPT Observed About Me After Hours Of Conversations

At one point, I asked ChatGPT a simple question: “What have you learned about me from all these conversations?” What came back was not a personality test result or motivational quote. It was more like reading a behavioural reflection written by a neutral coach who had been observing recurring patterns over time. Some parts felt accurate immediately.Some parts made me uncomfortable.Some parts explained behaviours I had never fully connected before. This post is not about whether AI “knows” someone deeply.

When Your Brain Keeps Running “What If” Scenarios Nonstop

Cluster of glowing question marks intertwined in a spherical shape

A late-night reflection with ChatGPT turned into this post because recently, I realised my brain has been constantly branching into “what if” scenarios. Not only for major life decisions. Even small things became mentally exhausting. Examples: Every situation seemed to split into multiple possible outcomes. And before I could even complete one task, my brain already started simulating: At one point, even resting felt difficult because my brain refused to stop anticipating. How This Usually Starts At first, anticipatory thinking […]

Overthinking

In my line of work as project manager, I’m used to make worst case scenario because when running a project, we need to be prepared. So my brain usually will think few if-then-else scenarios and prepare some contingencies when certain events happened. However, it also makes my heart panic from low key panic to really panic. No matter how prepared I am. That makes me thinking, does it have any relation between as we grow older, we will have low […]

To give yourself a pat on your back

There was one event I joined for the first time last week, Cat Adoption Drive. I usually come as visitor than as participant. In June I rescued a cat from my block because she was new to the territory and has been chased by resident cat. Here is June’s story. It was first time for both of us to join this event. And both of us were nervous. The crowd was overwhelming. I feel lucky that we have friends helping […]

For Love’s Sake 2018 Movie

Or the original title is “恋のしずく” It looks like ordinary drama at first but I decided to give it a shot since the Japanese movie selection in Polish LOT was limited. Turned out, it’s a normal drama indeed. But sometimes there is a beauty in the ordinary. So, one takeaway from it was, you need to face your problem. Which is obvious, but it’s a good reminder. The main character and the co-star were having different problems all together. And […]

One step at a time

What happened to me last week reminds me of my mantra during running that always one step at a time. And repeat till you reach your goal. I recently rescued a kitty under my apartment. I’m not a rescuer. I just felt heart pain of the chase and war cry almost every morning. And now I’m looking her a home where she can feel relax and enjoy life. I watched other rescuers’ work through Instagram and it’s not easy. Sometimes […]
