10 things this month

Here are some thoughts from this past month.

1. Welcome spring! After shorter gloomy days here in Vancouver and a short and intense Summer time in Brazil (with 35C somedays), I can’t wait to see some flowers.

2. The balance is sometimes a beautiful dance, sometimes a tough pill to swallow.

3. Being back home really made me aware of how perception of what it is and what it was is coloured by what are the memories that stayed.

4. Living abroad makes every hug leave a deeper mark. They don’t leave, even when I do.

5. Every time I say: “next time I’ll pack lightly” (including expectations).

6. Expectations are anxieties pretending to be dreams that only carry frustration and inability to live in the present.

7. I want x They want = No wants

8. I’ve been testing Firefly and some AI tools lately. I still am unsure about many aspects of this technology. What does it mean for our future? How will it impact creativity/creation/ my profession?

9. But I can’t say I’m not impressed. I wouldn’t say I feel safe though.

10. Future, future on the brink, will our civilization finally sink?
