Reflection

The velocity at which I’m updating my beliefs about the world has never been known to be slow; saying “Oops” and updating my beliefs implies updating my behavior if needed. This oscillating pattern of behavior has been defining the kind and amount of love I receive in this world, updating a behavior is either bringing me joy by interacting with people, loving myself, or appreciating the world, or has led me to a series of overwhelm led by the need to solve the questions I’m cornered with.

There’s a point at which everything you learn requires you to learn the opposite thing. If you learn to be patient, then eventually you’ll need to learn when to be impatient.
If you learn to control your anger, then you’ll have to learn when it’s good to be angry. And if you learn to be gentle, then you must learn when to put up a fight.
Life isn’t made up of a set of solutions for you to find.
It’s built on extreme behaviors you learn to balance.

To nerd out and talk about a particular topic that you are deeply interested in/ obsessed with, requires you to unveil part of yourself. Your personality, your affection, your love for that topic. Often, it feels like dancing in the symphony of that subject(my analogy is very consumed, but I feel it holds true here).

I’ve taken things for granted before, and I always do. it doesn’t mean I don’t recognize the value of someone or something in my life, it’s just that I’m mostly busy and never able to find time to reflect upon the things I have in my life.

Learn to write, I’m dead serious about that, because… pick some hard problems and learn to write very, very carefully. when I say pay attention to the word, I mean that pick the right words, organize them into the right phrases and get your sentences straight. read and write everyday and see if you can discover what is true.
