I left 25 a few days back. The closing note was shooting an erotic art music video experiment thing, and in another few weeks I'm heading to a letterpress program in Switzerland. Life takes unexpected turns. Looking forward, how can I imagine where I will be in five, ten, or twenty five years if I don't even understand how I got to now? I only started learning letterpress eight months ago and am—at first glance at least—almost a stereotypical programmer. Part of me is afraid. I have met with so much success that where is there to go except down? Part of me is hungry. I want that next challenge, to take things to larger scales. And as I don't think I will live very long, why wait? When I start to feel that I am already behind, I have to remind myself that I am only 26. And I try to stop and ask myself, "If this isn’t nice, what is?" Advice for future me from the present: - Remember what it feels like to be on the outside. - Don't dismiss, or be beholden to, or fall back on past you. - Look out of the spotlight for people doing interesting stuff that they believe in. Try to help them, or at least say hi.
