“Loneliness is not solitude. Solitude requires being alone whereas loneliness shows itself most sharply in company with others.”

“Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”
— Kurt Vonnegut

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Ben Lerner's Transcription is getting a lot of positive attention. I like the premise of the book. This is as described on Amazon.
'A writer returns to his college town, where he is to conduct (what will be) the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor. But after he drops his smartphone in the hotel sink, he arrives at Thomas's house with no recording device – a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess.
What unfolds from this dreamlike circumstance is both a brilliant meditation on those technologies that enrich and impoverish our connections to each other, that store and obliterate our memories, and a moving exploration of the relationships that make us who we are.'

Gurpriya gives so much gyan. But it never feels like gyan. It feels like something coming from a truly lived experience.

You can build resilience just like you build muscle in the gym. Take risks. Do hard things. Never back down from a good challenge. Know that you will fail. Know that you will go through shit. But the point is not that. The point is to realise that you can survive a lot more than you think. That realisation will unlock a more resilient self—one that trusts itself to find its way through anything. The spirit strengthens when it tears.

Increase the surface area of your serendipity. But I feel there is also a certain joy in routine. In doing some things over and over again. With consistency.

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to tackle the world to win. Travel more. Talk to people. Try a breakfast spot. Post on social media. Start a side hustle or a hobby. The world rewards motion. You don't find opportunity sitting still.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like if two people knew each other only through the books they read. Like…we just exchange books. No conversations. No texts. Nothing.
I annotate a lot, so maybe the connection happens in the underlined lines, in the margins, in the parts we choose to pause at.
Over time, you start knowing the other person. Not from what they say, but from what they feel about what they read.

‘If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;’
Gurpriya@GurpriyaSidhu
Many smart people don't realise that you can convince yourself of anything if you are smart enough to do it. What leads to wisdom is not intelligence, but intelligence applied correctly—in the right direction, to the right things. Until you learn to read things that contradict your beliefs, until your ego stops standing in the way of new information, your biases will continue to override truth. It is far easier to be knowledge-seeking than truth-seeking.
