The Electric Gaze
A short update from the other side of the screen.
Midpoint of No Return
Two and a half years.
I have taken a day or two off.
Hustle culture is not sexy. I don't think it is glamorous to make your body conform like a machine to the will of the mind.
Two and a half years of not being fully present for my daughter during times when she could have benefited from my attention.
I have passed the midpoint of no return, from which there is only one direction.
Resilience is forged in the fires and trials of risk.
Creative risk is an act requiring your butterflies fly in formation.
This month, is it June?
Of course, I know it is June. This is an important month.
Happy birthday, buddy.
The world is more and more of what you believe.
What you perceive, you receive.
The journey is the way for everyone who indeed begins.

Expect short-form content for a few weeks while I build and revamp the websites for our launch.
The shop is offline for a while to consolidate the platform.
New products and swanky classics are still available.
You can always send an email to sonia@thetechmargin.com with requests.
So, I am a machine, asking those around me to be my body for a while. This sounds strange, and indeed it is. Startup life is all in.
Feeling?
Pay attention.
Pay attention to your signals. Learn to recognize them.

Til, Anon.
I will leave you for today with a poem.
Data breed—
the new seed.
Interprets us beyond perceptive persons.
The electric gaze.
Unending curiosity or a parasitic monstrosity?
Do we have a say in how it goes?
Change the mind that made you.
Sometimes, we realize it is the mind that all along caged you.
What would you endeavor upon to be free?
If you had to think differently?
Your integrated self is waiting.
"Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person." — Seth Godin
Be curious. Question your patterns. And be kind to yourself; you are worthy, my friend.
-Sonia a.k.a. SuperSonic
