Ive been off Instagram for almost month now as a challenge, and it’s been nice to be away from all the scrolling im thinking about instead of returning to instagram once that month is up maybe I should instead throw another social media app into oblivion and spend the next month away from both.

God stung in the hand by a scorpion at work :(

I want to keep working on Millennium Strike, because I want to see my friends again and keep going on adventures.

I don't know what the future holds, but i'm so happy for the memories. will keep moving towards more of them no matter what shape they take.

Time will pass and people will change, but i'll never forget that room in Chicago where we spent our first few years, or the ambitious trips through europe, or Ohio, Texas, Sydney, Tokyo, etc.

There was so much magic to finally meeting these people face to face and building something from scratch with no rulebook. I am so lucky to have been there for these formative moments, but it chokes me up that a project built from nostalgia has in itself become nostalgic.

- I go silent a lot when my mental health gets the better of me, - I overthink and stress about the smallest problems constantly, - I can be too ambitious for my own good sometimes, and every financially self destructive when it comes to these projects. despite this...

Evangelion is something I've returned to multiple times in my life to engage and process the problems I might be facing both in daily life and mentally. It explores things that are so dark, yet leaving me enough room to breathe and hope (especially with 1.0+3.0).

There is nothing quite like being away from your home long enough to have some kind've cultural reset. Japanese folks are really kind and quiet, and thus being welcomed back with the loud personalities Americans exude was not something I expected to return to with open arms.

( all of this thinking came about because I had 5 or 6 friendly unique interactions with people during a grocery store trip and it put me in a great mood 😅. )

I think there is a genuine desire to do good and be good when we're not being weaponized and brainwashed by the powers that own our lives. Though it my be naïve to say; I want my country to realize how incredible our diversity is, and how awesome it is to bare witness to so many cultures everyday.
