I cooked sinigang today. Not for nostalgia, but as a marker of contrast.
Last year, I had a different structure. Now, I am engineering a new one.

A year ago, I was operating in a system that I had outgrown.
In engineering, we call this System Drift.

You stay in a container that no longer serves the function it was designed for.
Transitions often feel like a collapse because old routines die before new ones form.
But this is isn’t collapse. It is renovation.

The work now is simple:

  • Establish a new baseline.
  • Build new systems.
  • Define a life not dependent on a single source of validation.

I am not asking for deliverance.
I am designing my next architecture.

Thank you 2025, I have evolved.
