Hey there! Hope you're having a great day, and as always I hope this serves as a comforting space to you. It's Friday, which means it's time to once again drop the anchor into the sea. Funny enough, today's topic involves fish (Figure 1.1).  Figure 1.1 : My attempt to draw a fish So this week I spent some time with a friend (Unnamed) who recently graduated from FIU. I haven't seen this particular friend in a long while, and I was incredibly happy to re-establish our friendship. Because of our prolonged disconnection I asked how life was generally going and what her next plan was. My friend gave a strong sigh and said he/she didn't know, and he/she felt overwhelmed because of it. As I stated when I started this blog, I believe this is a normal result of our transition to the "real world", but I was still confused as to why we commonly feel this way. Then something happened.  At one part of the conversation I told my friend about my blog and ...

Hi there dear reader,  Hope you're having a good day, and if not I hope this space provides some comfort. It is Tuesday, which means it's time to drop the metaphorical anchor ( Figure 1.1 Some humor) in the Sea of Ideas and take some time to write.  Figure 1.1  : I hit a fish with the Anchor, enjoy my bad drawings! To begin I want to explore a central idea I've had for a while, one that's profoundly influenced my work and life. I like to call this idea the Applied Paradox Theory . This probably won't be the last comprehensive post on this idea, but I think it finally deserves and introduction to the world.  When we start growing up, we have a tendency to ask questions. If we're really good at this, we might remember upsetting our parents and/or some other authority figure. I think at that age all we want is to "know", to feel that we have a grasp of what is going on around us.  Asking all these questions did little to quench my immediate ...

Hello there, First things first - I hope you had a great day, and if not then that's ok. Life is kinda crazy sometimes, and we find ourselves constantly asking how we got here, where we are, where we are headed, and what it all means.        Figure 1.1 Like many of you I constantly ask these questions, as well as get the occasional existential crisis . But how do we answer them, let alone ask them? Really, take a moment and ask yourself. Personally, I've looked for answers through philosophy, art/music , science and self-reflection. Nonetheless, I found myself lost in an unsteady sea of ideas sailing the best I can to say the least (Figure 1.1: Microscopic view of the Sea of Ideas). Navigating through the turbulent sea of life turned out to be a much, much, much more complicated affair than I anticipated. Maybe a little too complicated to be described in a single Medium Article or a YouTube video.  Do I have the answer? Absolutely not , but it ...
