Journey of Curiosity
Trauma lingers, shaping both mind and body. It’s not just about what a person experiences, but how deeply they feel it. Those emotions don’t disappear; they stay hidden, affecting life in unseen ways. Healing requires effort, warmth, and time. While trauma changes a person, it’s possible to grow beyond it with the right support. Happiness, like healing, doesn’t just happen—you have to actively work for it.
There was a time in my life where I had very few connections of my own, but each one was too strange to explain. I remember the anxiety creeping in…was I the only one surrounded by such weird and dark people? Why couldn’t I just sit down with normal humans, share a conversation, and feel like I understood them, or more importantly, that they understood me? On the surface, nothing about my situation was particularly surreal, but my overactive brain (how many stories should I share) twisted it into something far more complex…too many emotions, too much mental static for me to handle. That’s what I learned from reading Haruki Murakami, that magical realism isn’t just confined to novels but to real life!
Self learning is often chaotic, frustrating and demotivating. But like everything else, with time, we can get better at it.
As I jot this down, there’s a mix of sadness and relief. Love isn’t just a chemical reaction or physical attraction; it’s about presence and connection. The women I’ve loved had more than just charm—they had a unique essence. Even when love feels past tense, it never fully leaves. We’re all trying to grasp this feeling, writing and reading about it, but maybe we never quite do. And that’s okay.
My exploration into music’s intricacies challenges predictability and the brain’s comprehension amidst infinite possibilities. Evolution shapes our musical tastes, while the human brain grapples with classifying ‘good’ music. How it navigates trillions of musical permutations remains a mystery. This quest extends beyond music, questioning truth and personal preferences. It acknowledges diverse musical tastes, from ‘tiktok’ to classical, and ponders if exposure to mature music shapes mature minds. Ultimately, it probes how our brains claim to fathom music amidst limitless potential, inviting contemplation on broader truths.
Despite the ease of finding information online, the author, a self-taught engineer, prefers human mentors over purely automated learning tools. The author’s mentors and experiences, including billionaires, scientists, and peers, helped them overcome challenges and provided diverse viewpoints. They discuss the concept of altruism and how helping others can be beneficial in personal development. Consequently, the author aspires to provide guidance and support to others based on this principle.
