you have to move through life and love assuming the answer is yes. assuming people want to see you, help you, hire you, hug you, love you. otherwise, every bid for connection or growth will be laced in fear and desperation. and people can smell that from a mile away.

permissionless action will set you free:
> want to be a marketer? go and write/blog/make video content.
> want to be a vc? scout for founders & send dealflow to funds.
> want to be an engineer? build passion projects and share them to the world.
you do not need permission to take action, do this long enough and it will set you free.
cleaned up and made art with my niece this Diwali. my first Diwali in more than a decade?! life’s truly peaking 🥹🧿✨
and for those whose Diwali feels a little less bright, wherever you are, i hope joy finds its way to you, too. gentle reminder that you're far from alone, if festivals feel lonely. 💪🏻
will pay any amount of money to a salon to just stfu while im there to be pampered. never in my life have i gone to one, in India, and not been bombarded with stupid targeted questions to make one insecure enough to sell a stupid shampoo or a more stupid treatment. esp as a curlie hair girlie, argh.
i obviously fell prey to them, when i were younger and naive and looked for any reason to hate myself. things are so different in SEA, never ever have i seen them, in the 283938 visits i made, sell something to me.
high high highhh time these businesses find a better narrative to meet their monthly sale targets. and STOP STOP selling straight hair ffs at least this festive season.

This is an old fashioned take, but I think if people held themselves to a higher standard...
In how they speak, in how they dressed, and how they treat others...
They'd feel so much better about themselves too. There is a reinforcing loop that happens that would be positive.

Leadership is lonely. Ambition is lonely. Building is lonely.
Even if you have a great company or great spouse, a lot of the journey is internal & you're on your own.
It's really hard to bear, and most people will drop out over time.
You have to want it in your core.

had made these custom pink glares but couldn’t find the exact magenta-ish marker, and also didn’t want to add the glares digitally, so i decided to do them by hand.
