I don’t hear music anymore My ears are tired of all the pictures in the words Cause you are in them…still.

You still don’t listen to me, I hate it.

And by the end of today, I will be closing this chapter of my life out.
We got older, but we’re still young.
We never grew out of this feeling that we won’t give up.
Mini-Goal for this week: Take pictures of random spots around the Bren that bring back vivid memories of my times here.
This will probably be one of the last times I’ll ever be backstage here.
Taglish: Where It All Began
I walked into Troy’s freshman dance nervous. Coming in sheltered from Pius I didn’t know what to expect at one of these “public school dances.” I had no idea how to dance with a girl. Despite that, two girls from ASB came up and “dance sandwiched” me right when I walked in. I immediately tried to “grind,” though I definitely didn’t know what I...
Note to Self: One Week Left
Between making the Senior Suite Mix and finally seeing the cover photo, it really is beginning to hit me that my last PACN is around the corner..

Money Is Not Important: Compensation →

There are those who believe that money and happiness go hand in hand. Truthfully, it does—to an extent.
At a certain level, money’s impact on your well-being begins to diminish. When you don’t have a lot of money, it doesn’t take much to make you happy. A thousand dollars can change one person’s life, while someone else might simply call it “Friday night”. The more you...
All these people you took for granted for so long. You begin to realize they are aging, and won’t be around forever. Their hair begins to gray, you see the age in their eyes. You realize that while you’ve faced so many challenges in the 21 years you’ve lived your life, they’ve experienced that and another 30 years on top of it. You begin to realize why it’s harder for...

Three games from recent memory worth playing
Felt like writing this down somewhere to remember what games I’ve enjoyed recently.
Journey
Portal 2
Stanley’s Parable
Short games, but definitely made a stronger impact than several 20+ hour games that I’ve played over the years.
Saw something inspiring, yet heartbreaking tonight. Haven’t seen dancing that raw, that heartfelt in a while.
It was a reminder for me too. A little over three weeks till my last PACN, and a few more months till my time as a UG staffer is up. Seeing that tonight definitely gave me the drive to push as this part of my life comes to a close.
Keep in touch, it’s been a blessing...
Without internal growth, you'll never know if...

Something I need to grasp daily.
Thinking about it, I can’t believe I’ve been able to look back and laugh at it so many times.
"Why I am Leaving Goldman Sachs" →
I eagerly await the end of this constant battle I have with myself.
I am excited for the day that “who I am” is exactly “who I want to be.”

It was around this time of the year, two years...
That I decided that this was the team, this was the family I am supposed to be with. Through all the hardships I had with them and myself as well, I knew they would be there to catch me before I hit the ground.
Oh, these times are hard,
Yeah there making us crazy, don’t give up on me baby.

The world is full of consumers. Be a producer.
Nothing in life is ever certain.
Always remember that.
Make it back or not, the fact that I gave it a shot will clear any doubt in my mind on whether or not I can truly do anything like this anymore.
I’ll be happy either way.

In this world, we often make the mistake of placing too much emphasis on making more money. We sacrifice time with family and friends, neglect hobbies that we enjoy, and constantly worry about keeping up with the Joneses. You’ll never be fulfilled by constantly chasing a bigger paycheck.
Ask any…
The change you desire begins with you.
Eight years ago, I found something very special to me and used it to improve myself, to inspire others, to keep me going.
Somewhere along those eight years, I seemed to have lost it.
As I slowly close these chapters of my life in these upcoming months, I aim to find what I lost. Because despite how long that special something has been missing in my life, I can’t move on without it.
Can’t believe it’s almost been a year.
Part of me wants to go, while another part is afraid of going. Afraid it’s going to hurt being on the other side this time.
The me a year ago would’ve never expected all the twists, turns, blessings, and pain that were to come.
And so the first week ends.
Eight years, and it’s finally coming to a close.
One last time, then I close this chapter in my life.

On another note, had a chat with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Seems like I’m not the only one who felt that way.
Back to the Beginning
That phrase keeps popping up over and over in my head recently.
