The Week Of Social Events And Nights Out

Some context for anyone reading as this comes out, after about 150 blog posts in a row, I’ve missed the last 3 weeks of Life Update posts due to my laptop breaking and a bit of partying so there might be some context missing from the last 3 weeks, but I’ll be getting around to backfilling those posts soon 🙂

Also, out of respect to my friends, I’ve put group photos and such behind locked sections, which is why there are so many this week.

This Week

• Driving back to Canggu from Uluwatu.
• Many, many nights out with friends.

Where In The World Was I?

• 🇮🇩 Uluwatu (Bali, Indonesia)
• 🇮🇩 Canggu (Bali, Indonesia)

Back To Canggu

I was in Uluwatu (spending time and partying with friends) for the weekend. Monday I drove back.

Finally got back into the gym just for a little run, but felt good.

It’s Not Over

And I THOUGHT I’d come back to Canggu and just lock back in and stop partying and going out but apparently not lol

Started at Origen with some friends.

And then Luigis, (THE place to go on Monday nights). It’s a pizza place that basically turns into a club at night on Mondays. Danced a bit and also just sat and joked around a bit. Had some seriously genuine laughs this night together.

Out Again

Hippie Fish with some friends

Then went out to Desa Kitsune, another place that’s a nice restaurant during the day and a club at night (popping one day a week).

Very expensive but I actually had a lot of fun. And this was also despite being absolutely DRENCHED in sweat there.

Being with good people and good energy makes such a big difference.

Most of the group left, I ended up going to Mexicola with those that were left.

Hung out and danced for a while, then headed back.

Met some of the group still up and just hung out for another 45 minutes chatting and messing around.

Wait… I Didn’t Go Out?

Ended up going to Luigi’s (early) for dinner with some friends.

And then actually went to bed early (10pm).

I had gone out 6 nights in a row 😂😅

It felt refreshing to actually sleep and feel refreshed in the morning lol.

Give It All Networking Event

Went again! Like last time it was: networking, speakers (anyone can sign up), networking break, more speakers, more networking until you want to leave.

It was great! Met a lot of people, started at least 4 conversations with people, just went up to them and asked for their name and started talking. Very proud of that.

And went up to one of the speakers after and gave her the “if you could be any fruit which fruit would you be” question lol.

I stopped by Bossman for food on my way home and a friend met me there.

We ended up having this fantastic deep conversation about life and energy.

This is a taste of what we were talking about

202507032345 Don't create energy, ride and channel it

#journal 

Just speaking to [name] about life and energy.

The key takeaway:

The universe has infinite energy.

And in my note from last week about giving energy instead of mirroring, the idea was to come to exchanges with energy, be the energy and have the feminine energy receive and mirror it.

This giving is masculine energy, it's action.

And when does this usually happen? When I'm confident. And also after meditation and allowing myself to feel the feelings.

So when you meditate, you remove the blocks and filters that stop action.

That channeling of the energy from the universe is what I need to work on more.

I'm already good at receiving and mirroring.

It's the channeling.

But it's not giving. It's not creating or generating.

It's riding the wave, it's channeling the energy that already exists somewhere in the universe and channeling into someone else.

Also, this is also why is struggle to talk to [name]. I need a mediator like [name] or [name] to be able to play with that energy and become more playful and jokey.

Love these conversations so much.

The Villa

Moved to a villa for a couple days with some friends.

Another Night Out

Dinner at Openhouse with a group. This place is always popping. They had a live DJ Friday night, it felt like a club but people are just eating dinner.

Then Black Sand Brewery (another “THE place to be” Friday night)

Went to Desa (again) with a friend and just hung out. It was meh, music wasn’t what I love and both of our energy dropped pretty low. But it was fine.

Lunch Date

Dinner

Got dinner with some friends, then had a little adventure to Dang Cookies and The Bench after.

Life Lately

I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a position where I’m not actively doing work for anyone/clients right now, so I’ve been absolutely milking it and taking advantage of it.

A lot of the past month has been less work on external things for other people and a lot more internal work.

I’ve grown a LOT in terms of self-confidence and learned a LOT about energy, feelings, and managing emotions.

I already feel significantly different compared to a month ago.

Bali is such a wild and special place.

So how have I been spending my time?

It varies, but something like

• Morning coffee, journaling, reading
• Hanging out with friends
• Social and networking events (community dinner, masterminds, networking events)
• Lots of conversations with people and meeting new people
• Gym, sauna, meeting new people
• Dinners with friends
• Going out and partying with friends

It’s also been interesting to see how I’ve ended up talking to a handful of people about YouTube and I’ve also gotten in a handful of coaching-style conversations with people. I’m in a bit of a social phase and I’m seeing a lot of value from it already.

I’m learning to 1. let go of control and 2. letting things and life flow and develop naturally rather than forcing it.

The stuff in between all the nights out:

Thoughts From The Week

202507021146 You’ve changed

202507021146 You've changed

#journal 

So I was at Desa Kitsune last night with the group: [names] and some others.

I was dancing with [name] and she goes

"Do you remember what you said when we talked about if you're an introvert or extrovert?"

I said "yeah"

"I think you changed"

I smiled, paused, and then said "do you remember what I told you after?"

She looked at me thinking...

Then I said "... 'and extroverted around the right people and energy'"

And she did an "ohhhh yeah" nod recalling it

And I smiled

And she smiled :)

202507040925 Needing a mediator of energy for some people

202507040925 Needing a mediator of energy for some people

#journal 

The more I talk and interact with people the more I see people having different levels of energy.

And I'm starting to find that with some people I need a mediator. I need someone else in the exchange.

Examples:
- [names]

Non-examples I don't need a mediator for:
- [names]

I'm not quite sure why yet.

Maybe part of it is a lack of natural interest? But [name] is an example of someone I've been interested in and wanted to talk to more.

But the way I've thought about it and described it is that I'm great at mirroring energy (which is more feminine), but still developing the ability to give or be the energy in a conversation or situation (more masculine).

If I'm with [name] AND [name] I'm way more flowy, playful, comfortable, and can joke.

But if it's just me I feel more stuck. I fall back into the dry "what are you up to?" type of conversation.
