I never thought of my life as a thought experiment. But a paradoxical freak of nature. One of those exceptions to the rule. The irregular verb. I guess in this world where all the well-meaningness of everyone and everything who wants to tell you who you are, I say there is nothing like: finding the answer for yourself! Clue. there's more one "right" answer :-)

The only thing to figure out is that there is nothing to figure out, you just exist. You aren’t a project that has a final answer, you are a just person. Even if there was such an answer, what if you never ā€figure it outā€? Will that stop you from living the life you want to live? The answer to that question should always be no (unless you’re a scoundrel then control yaself) Just existing isn’t the end of this, but choosing to live will be

Trying to answer this made me realize that I really don’t have a solid answer. I remember at my Dad’s funeral, the priest said, ā€œI’m sorry, he was much too youngā€ and he died in his 60s, so I started fixating on the amount of time we have and everything that we can do and how many lives we can touch, but that lost steam pretty quickly. Then it was all about my little brother and helping him grow up and talking to him about my mistakes and just being a friend that I didn’t always have at his age, but if I’m being honest, sometimes that task starts to feel a little tall. Right now, it’s probably the amount of love in my life. I think that 3, maybe even 2 years ago, I felt so lonely and like I had no place in anyone’s life, and it’s crazy to think that I don’t feel that anymore. I couldn’t visualize what my future could look like, and how many people I would love and how many of them would love me back, so now it’s about what else I’m not able to visualize yet that could still very well happen in my future. And sometimes I just think, ā€œdamn I’ve been here for so long already and so much shit has happened, I just gotta see it through at this point. where else can the story goā€ and that kinda does it. And I also think that if I really believe that we all have the capacity for change, I wanna see how often I can change and how much I can change and just seeing what I can do and what’s possible. Long story short, I don’t really know and I’m not sure if I even answered your question (mostly because I can’t go back and check while writing this šŸ˜…) but I think that my answers change frequently and the longer I do it, I think the answers have started to come easier, and I hope in the future that they don’t need to be as substantial. Hoping a ā€œjust cuzā€ can get me by someday.

I contemplate these questions often, I feel like one conclusion I have come to is learning to trust myself first. Obviously sometimes that means you could be wrong, but when you listen to yourself - in your heart & in your gut - it has the answers more often than not. Sometimes that takes going through new experiences and learning new things about yourself. Allowing it to look like whatever it needs to look like. Some say utilizing stillness will help, but for others it may be chaos that helps to gather the insight and wisdom you seek.

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow. The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see,"Ā John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Python! Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

I read that happiness is when your expectations falls below the reality. A new mind project for April. Good prognosis.
