Reflecting on everyday life in a few words. From my perspective.

It’s 2026 and people still feel the social pressure to have a “coming out”. Thought we would be beyond this by now.

Why should anybody other than me care about who I love? Or how I express love?

Loud, he calls tonight
into the dark silent void
forever hopeful.

I always felt sorry for people having to commute to work. So much time, just wasted. But reading a short post on Thisness… on Sourcefeed today got me thinking.

The commute can be a ritual. Quality time. Being alone with yourself. A stop at Starbucks. The first morning coffee. Singing along to the new album of your favorite band.

Working remote, I have to deliberately create moments like this. Maybe having to commute isn’t that bad after all.

Think of everyone who’s left a mark on your life, from the day you were born until today. Now imagine a map that shows where they are. No, not like Google Maps. Like the Marauder’s Map from Harry Potter. And imagine the map moves through time, tracing everyone’s path.

I bet you’d see quite a few „paths crossed” — people walking right past you — years before you’d actually meet them.

If we all would be a little bit more like Terry Godier, the world would be a better place.

Thank you for doing what you are doing, Terry.

I feel like we should normalize ending meetings five minutes early and starting five minutes late. And spend the extra time to talk off topic or grab a coffee. Just ease things up by default.

Pasta, pepper, cheese, water, salt. Five ingredients. All taste. Life can be so simple.

Man, do I love my coffee routine.

On that note: I think it is really essential that we teach our kids to embrace boredom. Just sit and don‘t think of anything. Can you?

Screen Time should also consider frequency and the overall total of opening an app or the phone itself. How often have you picked up your phone today to do… nothing, really?

I made a mistake. I borrowed my father’s Zuriga espresso machine while he is traveling.

While watching one of Apple’s stunning screensavers on the Apple TV, I just realized:

there must be several film teams constantly traveling the world on the hunt of new drone shots that capture the most spectacular perspectives of our planet earth.

Well… maybe in another life.

Elon Musk is a terrible person, but his company caught a gargantuan rocket booster with “chopsticks” today.

Imposter syndrome can hit hard.

Raising a child is the toughest job on earth. It has good compensation, though.

I’m fully aware of our consumer society and its implications. I tend to lean against consumerism.

But the urge to have, to need something I discover that ticks all the boxes, is so strong. It’s really hard sometimes to take a step back, to resist and reflect.
