Leave the world better today than yesterday.

My defining moment came this year (2022) when I lost my father to cancer. He was such an integral part of who I am. He was a software developer, a tinkerer, a fixer, a constant. Cancer is a bitch.

I remember my first aspirational career was to be a garbage man, then an astronaut, to a civil engineer, to eventually follow my father’s footsteps making bits go round. He was the problem solver. He was the one that taught me self-reliance. He was a good person and the one person that I cherished my conversations of me proudly fixing things or building things around my house. I miss him dearly.

When I look back on who I am today and the impermanence of life my greatest struggle is finding to make sure my small part in this human existence, means something.

I’ll never have millions to fix world problems (or billions) but I am blessed. I need to do my part. I believe that’s so important that I never forget that.

I don’t think money nor fame brings us joy. I believe doing what’s right, being kind, and taking care of each other. What we do today, how we treat each other is our legacy.

We need to do better. I need to do better. Humanity can be so much more then our often selfish intentions and petty arguments.

Thanks for reading this and god speed on your adventures. Find your joy.
