A quiet corner of the net
for my thoughts & training logs.

A retro-future corner of the net where I write about cycling, running, swimming, gaming with side projects, and trying to stay human in a very digital city.

City lights, tired legs, and overthinking

Dec 2, 2025 5 min read

After a long day of classes and a late run, the city felt like a video game loading screen and my brain refused to shut up.

Late night Feelings Running

There’s a specific kind of silence when it’s late and almost everyone is asleep. It’s not really quiet — there’s a bus in the distance, a car door, some random siren — but it feels like the world is on pause.

That’s when my thoughts usually get the loudest. Future plans, training goals, dumb memories from years ago, conversations I wish I handled differently. All playing at once like different tabs in a browser.

Walking home after a run helps. My legs are tired, my brain is buzzing, but at least I feel like I’m moving while I think, instead of just lying in bed staring at the ceiling.

Balancing classes, people, and recovery days

Some days I want to see everyone and hit every workout. Other days I just want music, a hoodie, and zero plans.

Life Student Training

I’m still figuring out how much social and training energy I actually have. I love my people and I love pushing myself, but I also really need time where nobody needs anything from me.

Lately I’ve been trying a simple rule: one “full” day, one “soft” day. Full days are for classes, workouts, plans, being around people. Soft days are for slow mornings, games, journaling, or doing nothing on purpose.

It sounds small, but it helps me say “no” without feeling guilty and say “yes” when I actually have the energy to show up.

Three tiny upgrades to my brain firmware

Oct 31, 2025 3 min read

No giant self-help arc, just little rituals that make training, studying, and existing feel less scrambled.

Habits Mood

Instead of trying to “reboot my life”, I patched a few tiny glitches. Nothing dramatic, just small things that make days smoother.

  • Putting on Brain.fm when I need to focus instead of random playlists.
  • A 10-minute walk after long screen time or hard training.
  • A rough shutdown time for devices most nights.

None of these fix everything, but they give the day a start, a middle, and an end. That already feels like an upgrade.
