When my daughter was little, I'd say, “Nothing's impossible—just stuff we haven't figured out yet.”
“Impossible” is just fear talking. We get scared of what we don't know. Life isn't split into possible and impossible; it's more about what we know and what we're still learning.
As Arthur C. Clarke wisely said:
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”
So when I’m thinking about all the things in life that seem impossible, I remind myself: we’ll get there—we just haven’t figured it out yet.

History is a cycle of chaos and progress—which side you feel you're on depends on your perspective… or which news headline you’re reading.
A reminder to myself not to get too wrapped up in the news and to focus on what I can control.

My attention has been mostly on my new Leica D-Lux 8 lately, but I still pick up my Fujifilm X100V occasionally. Each time I do, I’m reminded of how much I love the way it feels in hand. It also takes pretty decent photos too. ;)

In this TED Talk, Will AI Make Us the Last Generation to Read and Write?, Caleb Everett presents a thought-provoking discussion on what I believe is an inevitable shift in our society.
As someone who has always been more visual, I don't personally find this evolution uncomfortable, but I recognize that many might. Paradoxically, Everett touches on a feeling I can relate to—guilt over not picking up a traditional book and instead consuming content via audio or video.
While I don’t believe reading and writing will disappear entirely, I do think they may become skills reserved for a small percentage of society, much like how literacy was once limited to the elite.
