Assurance

Assurance, does it serve for eons to come?
This great blue embraces me
When it all goes wrong
Do I loath indolence, or do I loath inconsistency?

Impinging upon a full year in New York is a whimsical sentiment, I feel these foreign faces have imprinted a familiar shade on me.  Let me tell you, Reader, of a story when I was 11. Cindy, my only close acquaintance in elementary school in Toronto, had haughtily told her mom in English that Lisa hasn't ever read Nancy Drew nor Geronimo Stilton books. That, in comparison, she has finished both series and enjoyed them.  She knew that I couldn't understand English well enough to answer her articulately in English, much less to read those books. It was my 4th month in the North American continent.  Perhaps it was her effort to impress her mom, or a childish tease at an immigrant's poor English--- she succeeded. Her mom said that her Cindy is the smartest, and some children can't read yet. Cindy's mom wanted to see me hurt, so she said it loud and clear, in Chinese.   But I was the Head Girl in Beijing! My fragile ego felt tremors. (Interestingly, they never warn yo...

A year, introspectively summarized

               A year, introspectively summarized      A primal and gravitational feeling is the feeling of belonging--- though the whole sense of "purpose" is artificial, defined deliberately by people who want others to emulate them.

I am delighted by the platform that I am given to practice my agentic self, now and continuously onward.       There will be a time when t he basis of your understanding, you learn, was fabricated---even some of your strongest beliefs need reinterpretation, the very framework under which you operate proves inflexible and restrictive. Perhaps the best remediation strategy then is desensitization of the action-oriented part of your mind. You must compromise scaling for precision.       In January, I wrangled with partial differential equations and AI Safety fundamentals course with BlueDo...

To comprehend 2024 is to comprehend fleeting moments, and a romanticize them sufficiently.  The Chanin building stands in its auburn limestone glory at the heart of midtown. The low-hanging facades are visible crossing to Grand Central Station, rendering low marine lifeforms: fern-like organisms and tertiary animals crawling about. The Chanin building is the most beautiful when the daybreak radiance reflects into its neighbor, Socony-Mobil building, and all the 1930's warehouse windows have stopped quaking in the aftermath of the strong afternoon winds. These strong decade-long winds bring fortunes benevolent and malevolent.  I have felt the city's electrifying energy from the magnanimity of wistful silence. In California, it was a competition of who is the loudest--- garnering attention and acclamations. Banal tomfoolery bathed in Pacific saltwater deemed fitting. I embraced it. New Yorkers enjoy subtleties of intentional disguise. Suppressed emotions, lowered gazes, and hush...
