Self-understanding

Those who’ve seen the most of the world often have the dirtiest shoes. Watch your step — but don’t forget to look up.

You can’t control how people respond to your work. But with AI, you can practice hearing feedback — at the pace you’re ready for. That’s what this experiment is all about.

I used AI to generate a podcast where two hosts talked about me and my writing. Not just summarized — talked. Awkward. Humbling. The feedback wasn’t real, but the self-reflection was.

That awful swirl of excitement, embarrassment, and regret after you share something? That's the Cringe. It sucks. But, it means you showed up. You did the thing. Keep going.

CODE. Capture. Organize. Distill. Express. It’s a note-taking system I loosely follow — but ultimately, it’s less about the method and more about making it yours. Doing what works, for you.

Expression isn’t about being loud. It’s about making what’s inside you clearer, so you can see what matters — and shape your voice along the way.

Ideas only matter if you can find them. Organizing isn’t just filing them away — it’s turning scattered thoughts into something useful and ready when you need them.

Capturing matters. Make it easy, so you’ll actually do it. Not just to remember, but to express. To practice. To let passing thoughts grow into something more — your own words, your own voice.

Off days happen. When they do, don’t perform. Don’t force. Just ask: what do I genuinely want right now? Then do that — your version of it, for today.

I’ve written every day for 21 days. The biggest lesson? Stop overthinking. Just start. Do the whole thing. Do it your way.

These days, I write a lot and reflect a lot. But it wasn’t always like that. I didn’t start to feel good. I started because I couldn’t afford to forget.

A $10 mic. A cheap pen. A steak knife. What they all have in common? They remind me every day that it’s not about getting great stuff—it’s about getting great at stuff.

Who am I? Who am I to tell people what to do?
