A complete blur of a year with plenty of highs and lows.

As the great Karl Marx describes alienation, it is a kind of estrangement from work, people, and thus from life itself.

So here is my epic 2025 collection of living life, and the lessons on not getting alienated from it, taught and constantly reminded to me by some of the people I love:
1. See the beauty in things that are ephemeral.
2. Health is vital. bad health steals the joy of life.
3. Everything is impermanent, yet we still take it for granted. The small things matter more than we realize.
4. The future is in Asia. Go Asians!!
5. Hobbies heal.
6. Gratitude changes perspective. Even on the darkest days, there is always some light.
7. TruFru is really good but overpriced but still worth it when you’re eating it with people enjoying it together.
8. The music you post with ur IG story isn’t that deep. Go touch grass.

At the end of the day, the day ends. The point isn’t to have everything figured out. just to stay close to loved ones, talk to actual humans (pls not AI), and remember you’re not an NPC. by @calvinonge

🎓🎉 Congrats, JieJie! 🎉🎓

Finally! Even though I couldn't be there in person to see you toss your graduation cap, I was, in fact, doing backflips (of joy) from the other side of the world.

You did it!!! Graduating is just the beginning of the incredible impact you're going to make on the world. Your dedication and passion for social good are inspiring, and I can't wait to see how your adventures will contribute to making society a better place.

I have no doubt that you'll accomplish amazing things and your adventures will create positive change. And for that, I'll be celebrating from afar with a confetti cannon and a house playlist.

Here's to a brighter future! 🥳 taken in Columbia University by @calvinonge
