I pulled an all-nighter working on that programming project I had yesterday and I feel so groggy. I slept for 3 hours or so, during 8-11 a.m. or something. The morning was such a blur. I continued to work on my coding project after waking up. After I passed my work, I tried to get some much-needed rest and "me time" for a while.

In the evening, I decided to cool off by going outside to BGC alone and walking around. It's been a while since I've done this, and I remember that my past times of going to BGC were always filled with anxious emotions, but now I'm not anymore. I'm thoroughly void of any anxious feelings from my days past. I keep circling back to Past Lives and the whole concept of inyeon (인연), how destiny/fate eventually wills people together.

I'm sure I've yet to meet the person I have 8,000 layers of inyeon with. I walked around, thinking of how my life in the future will be better if I take the paths I truly desire, and letting go of things that don't offer me growth anymore.

Regardless, I had fun out in BGC. Some girl beat me consecutively at Wangan Midnight, I got to chill at my favorite Starbucks place, and I got to go outside and think. Also this one REO Speedwagon kept playing while I was on the ride home, it was nice and my evening was pretty peaceful afterward.
