2025: Week 49
OIC. Oh, I see.
Notes from the day
Mon, Dec 1
Spent lunch talking to someone from Portugal about startups and it made me miss building—the product, the business, the culture. Who knows, I might get another shot at it again.
Tue, Dec 2
Toby’s Estate’s Gibraltar remains goated in my caffeine universe.
Wed, Dec 3
Things that in theory shouldn’t be good but is: peppermint in coffee and chocolate ice cream.
Thu, Dec 4
Finished reading The Psychology of Money and one of my takeaways is this: In saving and building wealth, the small things you do again and again will always carry you farther than the one-off, flashy moments.
Fri, Dec 5
Nothing hints at burnout quite like strolling around the office with a physical copy of Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory.
Sat, Dec 6
Watched Zootopia 2 with the family today and this line from Nick Wilde stuck with me.
I don’t care that we’re different. What I care about… is you. Okay? I care about you. And I didn’t say it earlier, but I should have said it, but I didn’t because… I am an emotionally insecure source of your discomfort who is not good at expressing his emotions. Probably because I’ve been on my own my whole life. But that’s not an excuse. It’s just that… It’s just that instead of telling you that you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, I make jokes about your ears and tell you that you try too hard, when the truth is I don’t want you getting hurt… because no one else in the world matters to me more than you do.
Sun, Dec 7
Traffic was, for a lack of a better word, abhorrent, today. Glad I have the option to use my bike for quick dinner runs.
On a completely separate note, I want to get another tattoo: my bike rendered in minimalist brush-stroke style.
