Confessions of a Man Who Was Kidnapped and Robbed in Colombia

This occurred in April 2023, this is not a current 2024 crime wave fear monger, I’m a latino american, do not look american whatsoever, pass for brazilian (important for later) and am fluent in spanish with a slight accent that could sound brazilian.

I was invited out to Vintrash Bar (Gringo Tuesdays) by a friend in Bogota colombia, I was hesitant to go and did not really like this club I had a free cover charge so I just went to go along, I brought along my burner iPhone 11 who’s Sim card stopped working that exact night, no banking apps or anything other than navigational apps and uber.

Why Your Budget for Books Should Know No Bounds

Forget the latest gadget, the trendy outfit, or the fancy meal – the most valuable investment you can make isn’t material, it’s intellectual. I’m here to propose a radical idea: ditch the traditional budgeting approach and declare an unlimited budget for books. Yes, you heard that right. Unlimited. Sounds crazy, right? But hear me out.

Books aren’t expenses, they’re investments. Each one holds the potential to unlock a new world, a fresh perspective, or a life-changing idea. They can teach you a new skill, challenge your assumptions, or ignite a passion you never knew existed. And the return on investment? Immeasurable.

The Liberating Power of Not Always Needing to Be Right

“You always need to be right”

I’ve heard this sentence directed at me from countless different people. It’s true, I do like to win an argument and be correct. However, I don’t really see how that’s such a negative thing. I think through the things I say and believe them to be right. I’m not going to stop believing them simply because you don’t. Think of a better argument than saying I only win because I want to win.

In the end I don’t want to be right, I want to know the right answer. I know I’m dumb and don’t have all the answers but that fact doesn’t win you the argument.

Anybody else in here considered a know-it-all or thick-skulled for needing to win arguments, when in reality you genuinely believe in your side and are open to be proven wrong?

Confession: I used to be like this. Every conversation was a battlefield, every opinion a flag I defended with the ferocity of a lion protecting its pride. But somewhere along the way, the weight of needing to be right became, well, heavy. The constant tension, the defensiveness, the strained relationships – it all started to feel less like winning and more like losing myself.
