2021

spent three months in govindapperi, a small village near tenkasi

overconfident with progress, consumed by work and study, lost discipline for yoga, meditation, felt the reprocussions

studied agriculture, developmental economics, manufacturing

comparing religions, finding unity among the mystics

obsessed with sri aurobindo and emmanuel swedenborg

2020

felt viscerally the power of sacred sites and sages

left india for home

leaned into isolation

excited by work, for the first time in my life

2019

prayed, seriously, for the first time in my life

read too many occult books and conspiracy theories while pretending to be a normal person

went to chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, ayurvedic doctors, salt caves, and sensory deprivation tanks

went to some strange "conscious events"

quit facebook and flew to india in search of health and mystical experience

2018

felt something while writing

graduated. regretting the majority of my academic decisions

moved to nyc to program for facebook

earnestly lived the 9 - 5 concerts cocktails brunch weekend trips lifestyle
