Ideas Borrowed

We all are so heavily influenced by the “inputs” in our life. Books we are reading, podcasts we are listening to, TV we are watching, etc.

These inputs will often find a way of connecting, and this blob of an idea becomes absolutely essential. “You must focus on this now, NOW”

My brain has this habit (bad, good, neutral?) of getting excited about this unformed “thing”, before eventually succumbing to the next urgent thing.

This is all to say, I have idea ADHD. The result is a very inspired life, filled with many incomplete projects and half-thought-out philosophies.

As I’ve gotten a bit older, the importance of choosing these inputs has become clear. My brain on TikTok works a lot slower than my brain reading a book (honestly, ANY book).

My ideas are a lot better when I am engaging with an input actively.

I wanted to create a personal space that can document some of these inputs in their primary format, as well as the spark that got me excited about them in the first place. I think better when I write, even if the writing is poor. And when I think better, maybe these ideas can no longer live aimlessly zipping around.
