I just came across an interesting animated film, so I watched it. My verdict: I disagree with its views—if you're ill, get treatment first. Memory Management Bureau To be fair, the animation looks quite good, and the music is nice too (although it doesn't match the visuals very well). The main problem is that its ideas are nothing new, and the concepts it presents feel too shallow. The same old overbearing older brother from childhood, the same old school bullying, the same old dysfunctional family of origin. Is trauma in mainland China always so formulaic? To be fair, because I'm here, I can say this: if you have a problem you can't solve on your own, why not go somewhere else where that problem doesn't exist and build a life there? The world isn't as vast as we imagine, but it isn't so small that a person must remain nailed to the same spot forever. If there's a problem, solve it. If you can't solve it, distance yourself from it, and come back to deal with it once you've grown enough to face it. The meaning of a person's life already exists simply because they exist here. What you possess is neither the past nor the future, but the present that you are actively creating. Instead of crouching in a corner fantasizing about how wonderful the future will be and imagining its countless possibilities, make a decision, face yourself, accept the responsibility of giving up other possible futures for the sake of one particular future, and take a step forward now. Only then can fantasy become reality. In short, my verdict is that I disagree with its views, and I suggest getting treatment first if you're ill.

Happy birthday, Shinku 🎂 May the year ahead be filled with happiness too 🥰 Here are some pancakes 🥞

A seaside stroll with Shinku～ My very first drawing XD

Thinking about it carefully, perhaps only now am I truly beginning the next step in exploring myself. Who I am, who I can be, and who I should be—from thoughts within my mind to conscious reflection, from the desire to act to the reality that is beginning to change and overflow into the world, I am starting to feel the depth of my own existence.

Honestly, I recently started learning about blockchain, and unexpectedly, it feels more like the way I used to study when competing in ACM. secp256k1 requires catching up on all kinds of mathematical knowledge and proofs, and when I looked at the actual implementation in ethers, I found code with that familiar competitive-programming flavor again—which was also incredibly enjoyable 😊 Come to think of it, I originally expected it to feel like learning a Java framework. Looking at it now, learning from the perspective of the wallet as the central subject may be a pretty good choice.

Recently, I have begun to notice the difference between an incremental mindset and a fixed-pie mindset. Although a stable salary provides a steady income, it can also lead people to confine their thinking to that level of spending and similar considerations. A stable income should serve as an anchor for peace of mind, not as a reason to limit the boundaries of one's actions. Even in today's bubble era, there is still plenty of hot money to be made. There is no reason to give up one source of income simply because you already have another.

Arrived! Neri is so cute

I've officially moved to mizuki 😊
