oh got obsessed with outer wilds, fun. wish i hadn't looked up spoilers for that or elden ring
I like this thought I had: Over the weekend did nothing but play outer wilds, got completely obsessed with that game, can't stop thinking about it. I liked the idea of timeloops that someone isn't aware of, lately been thinking about that, if the human sentience can experience time in only one direction, the limitation would be, perhaps your sentience could move along that timeline back and forth, but you'd never be aware of anything back, only what's forward, so you'd not know if you'd managed to go back, you'd have no "memory" of doing so. If you went forward along it… well, you only have one speed it seems. And since all your memories of events before and after a "leap" would be there, it'd be impossible to tell that you'd "jumped" along it more quickly.

We live our lives through distinct but interconnected aspects. Take a look at the areas below and ask yourself what the significant events in each of them were. Write down your answers.
- Personal life, family
couple's therapy with tammy expressing my emotions more not letting myself be held emotionally hostage, expressing my needs hanging with tammy's family japan trip with tammy's family mom's birthday party in mexico
- Career, studies

tons of mental health improvements through couple's therapy in terms of paying attention to my own needs, seeing them as valid, not throttling them for tammy's sake or to maintain peace or because i think they're not as important as hers in general more paying attention to my feelings i'm guessing more meditation this year than ever, can't be sure getting off buproprion was big, maybe that was causing brain fog? hard to say lots more confidence in myself as an engineer read some books like the habit and creativity one that may have affected me some of the philosophy was good too very little death fear, that's good

Three of my biggest accomplishments
- list your three greatest accomplishments from the last year here
- The cofactr contract, and, completing it
- Food camp and medical team
- The moda submission
- What did you do to achieve these?
- Got my shit organized, plugged in hours, had confidence in myself, had patience for others, had years of experience
- Trusted other people to get shit done, but also, just organized fuckin everything on my own lol, docs, spreadsheets, recipes, threw money at it with the van rental. Babysat anna, was supportive.
- Cranked, hard, and dug deep in myself for my dreams for the world, and emotions for what i thought people could feel.
- Who helped you achieve these successes? How?
- Riley for getting the position and organizing API stuff and having my back. Morgan and tammy for doing the engineering. Tammy for supporting me.
- The other lantern burn leads, a bit. Jesse and amos and nish. That ruby girl, and noah. Some randoms that helped cook.
- Audrey tang for letting me know. Tammy for peer reviewing.
Three of my biggest challenges
- List your three biggest challenges from last year here.
- Working with tammy on me expressing my needs
- Everything about cofactr
- Getting sued by johnathan g for that white people article
- Who or what helped you overcome these challenges?
- Therapist plus me sticking to my needs, morgan, riley, jesse wasson. Tammy
- Both tammys, morgan. Staying rigorously organized, writing out tickets, delegating. Clear requirements. Riley for talking with matthew. Morgan for doing curative.
- Tammy for supporting me, paying lawyer with TWD. Irene for finding lawyer. People in houston being supportive. And NYC. David being really angry on my behalf. Emily for finding instagram and laughing.
- What have you learned about yourself by overcoming these challenges?
I'm pretty good at being organized, but also it's really necessary for me in order to be successful I really am a senior engineer, i can build out apps from scratch i have needs, emotions, they're valid I can be affected negatively by other people lol, i can feel anger and fear and outrage
Forgiveness
Did anything happen during the past year that still needs to be forgiven? Deeds or words that made you feel bad? Or are you angry with yourself ? Write it down here. Do yourself good by forgiving.
Well, i'm angry with myself for not losing weight. Or kinda wasting some time after cofactr just not doing anything maybe?
also for not doing as much g0v as i want for submitting my moda thing to the wrong category
matthew for not appreciating, riley for being riley tammy for being tammy
Letting go
Is there anything else you need to say? Is there anything you have to let go of before you can start your next year? Draw or write, then think about it and let it all go.
Let go of worrying about not having spent time well regarding mandarin studying, or watching too much youtube. Or not having lost enough weight. It doesn't help, can only focus on the future, and what you can do every day to get better. "Cast votes for the person you wanna be."
The past year in three words
Choose three words to define your past year.

The book of my past year
A book or a movie was made about your past year. What title would you give it?
"Continuing the Dream: Realizing the Second Stage of Success in a 10 Year Plan"
Goodbye to your last year
If there is anything else left that you would like to write down, or there is anybody you would like to say goodbye to, do it now.
Lol alicia you fuckin crazy, peace, no regrets around you now What jonathan g was mostly just pathetic, sad, and cringe, and i'm glad i don't think about it anymore, i never should have worried goodbye to buproprion i guess? goodbye to hiding my feelings and needs goodbye little beta fish we lost, or maureen's fish that got sucked into the filter

dare to dream big
> What does the year ahead of you look like? Why will it be great? What would happen in an ideal world? Write, draw, let go of your expectations and dare to dream.
It looks good! It looks flexible, and a relaxed competency. Probably more simple, but just as if not more dense. I laugh at the little experiments i was doing with [BROKEN LINK: afe38b28-bf86-4144-8653-7754b5e82159], or like, logging my days and stuff. [BROKEN LINK: 3614bbfe-3e81-4e3e-91f7-af1e64a27594] should be easy and have a good purpose, overloading myself with data is no good. Like how i shoot in [BROKEN LINK: 4918f146-ea06-4251-895d-5888ce7d974e] now: just keep it simple and light, but effective.
Ideally we do at least as much [BROKEN LINK: 8ee60c31-fe5e-4f11-a7da-14265b92a2b4], at least as many friend events and hangouts. I want to be very organized this year, and explore my needs and desires and actualize them more. I want to be fit, finally.
