For most of us, childhood is kind of like a river, and we’re kind of like tadpoles.
We didn’t choose the river. We just woke up out of nowhere and found ourselves on some path set for us by our parents, by society, and by circumstances. We’re told the rules of the river and the way we should swim and what our goals should be. Our job isn’t to think about our path—it’s to succeed on the path we’ve been placed on, based on the way success has been defined for us.

It’s not that thinking is bad, or you should never do it, but not thinking is a useful skill to learn, especially in meditation.

Clock time is not what most people think it is.
It is not a transparent reflection of some sort of true and absolute time that scientists are monitoring.
It was created, and it is frequently altered and adjusted to fit social and political purposes.

Nicheless: Think. Write away.
Nicheless is a micro-blogging platform for raw, unfiltered thoughts. It's like long-form Twitter, minus the status games.
I built it because I needed a place to write about things I wanted to think about, without the fear of public judgment.
Nicheless is that space for me, and it could be the same for you.
