Time well spent

One of the best parts of losing everything is that all you have left is family. And not even all of your family, for me it’s just my dad. He’s 82 now. I last saw him a few months ago, and his thought was that he would likely see me 3-5 more times in his lifetime. When I had nobody else to turn to, even most members of my family, he was there for me, and sprung into action with renewed purpose harking back tao his days in Vietnam. And even though he worries about me every day, it’s been a blessing for him as it has for me that we can see each other now with such frequency. I feel like it’s coming full circle. When I do leave my 10 square meter cave now, it’s mainly to have some soju over a meal with him and hear his stories, and to let him know that yes, I’m still here, pushing forward.
I tried to wake up at 8 today, but it just wasn’t happening given that I went to bed at 3. So having started my exercise at 11am, I didn’t get to work till 1. Today was the first day of the Leo Moves program — an entirely bodyweight 4 week circuit. There were some cool moves and I’m glad I subscribed. Being able to get 90 minutes of direct sunlight has been hugely beneficial since I started a few weeks ago, and I’ve now hit the point where getting 60-90 minutes of work in is just like brushing my teeth. You don’t even question it at a certain point, because it’s become routine.
All the learning today was focused on Blender. I made a pretty dope burger and managed to bring it into the ThreeJS environment, and felt quite proud of myself, especially after curling that cheese!
The other cool thing was playing around with Skybox AI from Blockade Labs after seeing it referenced in the Environment Mapping lesson from ThreeJS Journey. Was very proud of my friend Marguerite for sticking through all the ups and downs over the last few years with Neon District and bringing such a cool product to market. I subscribed right away.
There are a lot of people from the past life that I think of now and then, and most of the time it hurts to think of how disappointed they must all be in me. But then I remind myself that to stick with the pain of the past, acknowledge it, and continue carving forward is the only way to survive. As Marguerite herself tweeted recently, “Don’t think. Don’t talk. Own nothing. Be happy”.”
