Hey, how are you doing? Hope you’ve been well.
I’ve been good myself, just a few thoughts here and there. In the past few days, I’ve had several thoughts cross my mind. Outrageous thoughts; some mere conversations I have with myself, while others arise from curiosity. But overall, three of these thoughts kept reoccurring at different times.
Vanishing Inventions
What if inventions vanished when their creators died? For example, what if, when Thomas Edison died, light bulbs disappeared into thin air, leaving us all in darkness? Or when Michael Jackson passed away, the concept of breakdancing and all his music vanished from our minds and every music streaming app or storage device. Life would be difficult, backward, and meaningless because there would be no point in trying to make the world a better place if even our loved ones couldn’t benefit from our hard work after we're gone. Thank God we can create legacies and enjoy the legacies of people from centuries ago.
Baldie
I don’t know where the idea of going bald is coming from, but it’s something I’ve seriously considered in the past few days. It has crossed my mind more times than I can count, and if I were someone who acted on impulse, I’d probably be bald by now. But I’m holding back because I fear the outcome being one of those "what I imagined vs. what I got" scenarios.
Will I do it eventually? 100%.
Weak Arms
This isn’t really a thought, I have weak arms.
On Saturday evening, I was with some friends, and one thing led to another, and we found ourselves doing push-ups. Well, I couldn’t successfully do a single one. I didn’t feel bad about it because I had already tried in the past and made peace with the fact that I couldn’t do push-ups. But when I got home that night, that peace disappeared. I couldn’t understand why a 4-year-old boy could do 8 push-ups, and I couldn’t even manage one. I felt challenged. So, from that night, I’ve been working on my arm strength, doing upper body exercises and different push-up variations just so I can one day do a proper push-up and prove my weak arms wrong.
