What’s The Most Underrated Life Skill?

Honestly for me it is listening. And while on this site we obviously listen to lots of great music, much like the song below…

https://open.spotify.com/track/7x8dCjCr0x6x2lXKujYD34?si=2c7d7c016ff8442a

In this case I actually mean listening to each other. We go through life most of the time in tunnel vision like we are the only ones who matter. But everyone has their stories, motivations and thoughts. I truly believe we all become better people by listening to each other.

Everything is Not What it Seems

What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?

View all responses

I am not at all a personal mantra or philosophy guy.

In fact, I struggle to be positive in general or even remember inspirational quotes to throw into dire situations. Recently I’ve adopted the practice of having a few gratitude pages in my journal where I try to write down more “up beat” affirmations about life. This has been somewhat painful for me.

I’ve even tried making a list of hard things I’ve accomplished so I can go back and look at some of the calluses I’ve created within my soul for when things get difficult. This is wildly inconsistent as well. Some days I can think of a few different things. Other days, it is simply that I got out of bed.

I do, oddly, believe in the good of people. It is something that fascinates me as a writer and person. The paradox of the human condition. Causing both suffering and happiness with each individual action.

Most people who follow me on here understand that I have a dark POV and I very much fit the stereotypical brooding poet stereotype. I wear black a lot, enjoy sad stories, and occasionally like to sit and stare at a lake on a cloudy day wearing a peacoat. So getting any sort of personal mantra or philosophy out of me is a bit tricky and arduous. I do have one though:

Everything is not what it seems.

Now this might not seem like a mantra or philosophy because it is inherently vague and almost distrusting, but I adopted this when I was young and just starting to understand the pain and insecurity that was being passed to me through generational trauma.

Even at this point in my young development, I was trying to convince myself that there had to be more to the people who made me feel so uncomfortable, so ashamed to be me, that their lack of acceptance towards me was really aimed at their own souls and identities.

That is what this saying is geared towards. That is what this quote relies on. I manifested it young as a survival tool. Now as an adult, I see how accurate it is when examining people. Malice, anger, cruelty, more often than not is a symptom of tragedy, trauma, and hardship.

Now, that isn’t an excuse for crappy behavior. You have to own your pain. It isn’t fair that it happened to you, but it also isn’t fair that you take it out on others.

Your trauma is your responsibility.

Everything is not what it seems also points to the motivation to simply stay curious in life. To ask questions. Both Ted Lasso and Walt Whitman talked about through their media and lyrics. Stay curious because everything is not what it seems. And, just to be clear, I certainly don’t mean this as a conspiracy theory or tinfoil hat mentality. There are hidden motives to the world, but nothing worthy of a tinfoil crown.

Everything is not what it seems points at the hidden worlds inside of us that has captivated me as a writer for so many years. It transcends everything I do as a writer in fact. Whether it is the Unnamed from the Greenland Diaries, and their various complexities or my poetry about lonely ghosts wanting to recreate a family. I look for monsters to understand them, because part of me wants to understand their pain.

Whether that is pain inside of me, in others, or even in society itself.

I’m constantly trying to understand the monster.

Additional Personal Philosophies

Moving forward or looking backward? Weekly Recap 10/5/2026

I’d like to share a piece of advice that I heard recently:

“Moving forward while looking backward is usually not a very good idea.”

How often do we find ourselves progressing in life, but too focused on our previous missteps to enjoy the forward momentum? The wake doesn’t drive the boat, as they say. Our past can only indicate where we’ve come from, not where we’re going. Better to look ahead!

Of course, in this particular instance, the above quote was uttered by a father to his son, immediately after the child careened into me at a restaurant.

Still, it’s fairly straightforward and practical advice for many situations. Remember y’all, the lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of the understanding.

Good morning and happy Monday, friends! Happy October! ‘Tis the season to load up on cinnamon brooms…

…and sushi.

I had another blurry week of school, but there have been some highlights.

Selene and I traveled to Rhode Island again. We left on Friday afternoon, hung out for a few hours, and then flew back home late Saturday. With the layovers and connecting flights, it felt like we were traveling for infinity hours.

I found the ocean in the self-proclaimed “Ocean State.”

Well, technically… it’s a “harbor.” But it all connects, right?

And I did get that coffee milk latte that I’ve had my eye on for a few months.

It was good, but it was also basically just a regular latte. I think I can now finally end my obsession with coffee milk.

While passing by a LEGO store, I couldn’t help but notice they have an Enterprise D set. Now that’s something I would build.

We got back just in time to pop into StaarCon for my presentation. I gave another talk on runes. More StaarCon thoughts shall come later, time permitting!

I also encountered someone who said they enjoy being on my mailing list. I won’t out them, but to this individual (you know who you are), I would like to say: thanks. It’s sometimes strange to think that anyone [other than my wife] reads these words.

Speaking of my wife… at some point this past week, she made medialunas.

They were delicious.

I’m done with festivals and presentations for a while. I’ve had to delay my M3 schedule slightly, but as soon as I catch up with school, I’ll have a new episode out for everyone!

That’s all for now, friends. Stay tuned for more soon!

It is forbidden to ridicule and recite nicknames in the Holy Quran

What Does It Mean To Be A Good Person?

For me it means treating people how I myself would want to be treated. If I have treated people poorly then I would understand others doing the same. Giving to charitable causes, tipping where needed and helping people in need. It’s pretty much the blueprint…

What’s a Personal Mantra You Live By? Mine Is a Test, Not a Quote. 🧭

What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?

I don’t really have a fancy life mantra.

But there’s one rule I keep coming back to:

“If I can’t explain it simply, I probably don’t understand it yet.”

As a B.Tech CSE student, I’ve had plenty of moments where I thought I understood something just because I could follow the lecture or remember the definition.

Then someone asks me to explain it.

And suddenly… 😅

That’s when I realize what I actually know and what I’ve just memorized.

So now, whenever I learn something, I try to explain it in simple words — even to someone who knows nothing about the topic.

Because for me, real learning isn’t about remembering more. It’s about understanding well enough to explain.

What’s one rule you genuinely try to live by?

Not the quote that sounds good — the one you actually follow. 👇

The plague of scientific titles and his prayer of humility and devotion to the Lord of the wilderness

https://alborz8.wordpress.com/2026/10/05/the-plague-of-scientific-titles-and-his-prayer-of-humility-and-devotion-to-the-lord-of-the-wilderness/

Trust in the Lord and Keep Going

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5–6

I’ve come to these words not because I have life figured out, but probably because I don’t.

There have been many times when I didn’t know what was going to happen next. Times when plans didn’t work out, when people left, when I had to accept things I didn’t want to accept, and when I found myself starting over in ways I never expected.

There were also moments when I simply felt tired.

Not physically tired, but tired in that deeper way where you don’t really know what to do with everything you’re carrying.

And yet, somehow, I kept going.

I don’t always understand, and that’s okay

I pray a lot.

But I wouldn’t describe myself as a very religious person.

I’m more of a prayerful person.

There is a difference for me.

I don’t always know the right words. I don’t always understand why things happen. Sometimes I question things. Sometimes I get disappointed. Sometimes I simply say, “Lord, I don’t understand this.”

And that’s usually where my prayer ends.

Because I have learned that I don’t always need an explanation.

I just need to trust.

I can be confused and still have faith.

I can be sad and still be grateful.

I can be disappointed and still believe that there is something beyond what I can see right now.

I look for a church when I travel

One of the things I make a point of doing when I travel is looking for a church.

It doesn’t matter if I’m in another city or another country.

If I have the chance, I’ll go.

Sometimes I don’t even stay very long.

I sit quietly. I pray. Sometimes I light a candle. Sometimes I just look around.

I don’t necessarily go because I want to attend a service or follow a particular religious practice.

I go because I like having a quiet place where I can stop for a moment.

I’ve walked into churches where I didn’t know anyone and sometimes didn’t understand the language being spoken. Yet there was something familiar about being there.

I could just sit.

No explanations.

No pretending.

Just me and my prayers.

And maybe that’s why I like doing it when I travel.

Travel can be exciting and busy. There are places to see, maps to follow, restaurants to find, trains to catch, photographs to take.

But every now and then, I need somewhere quiet.

A place where I can pause and remember that my life is bigger than whatever problem is occupying my mind that day.

Then I walk back outside and continue my trip.

I find my coffee.

I take photographs.

I explore another street.

I get on a Grab and probably check Google Maps five times. 😂

And I keep going.

Keeping going doesn’t always look brave

I think we sometimes make strength sound too dramatic.

For me, keeping going isn’t always some great act of courage.

Sometimes it’s just going to work when I would rather stay in bed.

Sometimes it’s driving home after a long day.

Sometimes it’s calling my children.

Sometimes it’s doing the things I need to do even when I don’t feel particularly motivated.

Sometimes it’s making myself a coffee and deciding that today is another day worth showing up for.

And sometimes, keeping going means admitting that I’m having a difficult day instead of pretending I’m not.

I still have days when I feel lonely.

I still get homesick.

I can have a wonderful trip with my children and then feel a little sad when the trip ends and I have to go back to my normal routine.

I can be happy and sad on the same day.

I’ve learned that these things can exist together.

Life doesn’t have to be one emotion at a time.

I don’t need to have everything figured out

Maybe getting older has changed the way I look at life.

When I was younger, I thought I needed to know where I was going.

Now, I’m more comfortable knowing that I don’t.

I still make plans.

Of course I do.

I search for places before I travel. I look at the map. I check hotels. I think about how close I want to be to the places I want to visit. I plan my days.

But I’ve also learned to leave some room for things I didn’t plan.

A different road.

A little café I didn’t know existed.

A conversation with someone I wasn’t expecting to meet.

A place that wasn’t on my itinerary.

Life has taught me that not everything worth remembering was planned.

I still have dreams

Being 51 doesn’t mean I have stopped dreaming.

If anything, I think I’m more aware now that I shouldn’t keep postponing the things that make me happy.

I still want to travel.

I still want to write.

I still want to discover new places.

I still get excited about a good coffee shop, a beautiful view, a thrift shop find, a quiet beach, or a city I’ve never explored before.

I still have stories in my head that I want to put into words.

I still have things I want to learn and things I want to create.

There are still places on my map that I haven’t visited.

And I like that.

It means there is still something ahead of me.

So this is where I am now

I don’t know what the next chapter of my life will look like.

I don’t know where I’ll be a few years from now.

I don’t know which plans will work out and which ones I’ll eventually have to let go of.

But I don’t feel the same need anymore to have all the answers.

I’ll make my plans.

I’ll do my part.

I’ll pray.

And then I’ll trust God with the parts I cannot control.

That’s really what my mantra has become.

Not a complicated philosophy.

Not something I repeat because it sounds good.

Just something I’ve learned through living.

Trust in the Lord.

When I don’t understand.

When I’m afraid.

When plans change.

When I have to start again.

When I don’t know what’s next.

And then:

Keep going.

One ordinary day after another.

One prayer after another.

One journey after another.

Maybe that’s enough.

Maybe I don’t need to know the whole road.

Maybe I just need to trust the One who sees it.

And take the next step.

Trust in the Lord and keep going.

That’s how I want to live the rest of my story.

What’s the Best Way to Explore a New City? Throw Away the List. 🏙️

What’s the best way to explore a new city?

Whenever I visit a new city, I try not to plan every minute.

I like leaving some room to just wander.

Forget the “Top 10 places to visit” list.

Walk. Get a little lost. Take the road that looks less interesting. That’s often where the real city is.

Eat somewhere local. Talk to someone. Wake up early and see the city before it gets busy.

For me, exploring a city isn’t about checking places off a list.

It’s about slowing down enough to actually experience it.

You don’t explore a city by covering it.

You explore it by letting it surprise you.

Now I want to know yours:

When you arrive in a new city, what’s the ONE thing you always do first?
