I’m mostly satisfied with what I’ve accomplished so far, but
sometimes I feel like I’ve been brainwashed by tech hustle culture to want things that I didn’t want before. I have to step back and remind myself to consider why certain things even matter to me in the first place, and what my long-term goals in life are (cue existential dread) (cue reminder that everyone is on their own path)
I want to work on something interesting to me with positive impact on people
still figuring out what this is. most things are fine, some absolutely intolerable
i want to work somewhere mission-driven - feel like I’m working towards something that actually matters to people
I gave a talk for a club this past quarter on my experience as an artist in tech, and how I balance both interests
had at least 3 people reach out to me and say they were inspired from that to take action and do something, whether that be start a club or make their first game, which was really cool to hear
i enjoy teaching, mentoring, helping people learn
personal
I want to never stop expressing myself through art
never get complacent or stagnate; there’s always something to be done, something to be learned
my life is in my control! never live passively and let things slip me by, always do things with full intention; take full responsibility - this is something I’m constantly working on
I speak freely, deeply, to the people I consider dear; I say what I mean
