Wanting to go deeper, sometimes I feel going deep can be bad. Not wrong, but bad for who doesn’t have much to offer. Surface level, with a dose of small talk is where I meet most people. I will take a different approach on opening up for more reasons.
I don’t want to be the smartest in the room. I want to grow going through many different rooms. So keeping the door open is one of my key actions I use daily.
I guess I am craving deeper connections and actions than what’s given. It’s ideal I have to break the norms and my surroundings and grow outward. Work on changing my environment to use if I can find what I and truly looking for.
Are you happy with the environment you are around? Which type of environment would you like to be apart of?
Today was a lovely day, a bit of rest and workout. Even though I went to workout late, it’s still counts. Today I got to reunited with a friend I haven’t seen in over 5 years. It’s crazy how this much time has passed. Life definitely has changed for both of us.
Our bond was so tight that it was even hard to order our food, as we were so deep in our conversation to catch up. So much the waitress who was trying to serve us had to come back 3 times.
I can definitely say it felts more like connecting with a family member how it was a great moment.
I am so happy to had experienced this movement. It was a great ending to August.
I think I need to share more stories and moments in my life on the weekends. I don’t think it should be all passion, creativity, it can also be people. I need to connect more back with people.
*note: Have you ever just got lost for a few days? Trying to pick apart and bring together things you having figured out yet. Like the future is tomorrow but you in the 1900th. The brainstorm days adds life and a life line to what is to come. Don’t skip the step that actually enhance your story.
With a prayer and good conversation, knowing everything is real. Everything about the night and good essence is what you feel. A humble thought, and kindness running through and through. Loving yourself, and happiness is what you need to do for you.
Just a note to self to remember the small and soft things. As the world finds themselves in miserable days, but you under the shade from the hot sun, be thankful.
My gosh, I am on a roll. I never thought I would be so consist with learning a new language and more. I am in love with learning and growth that I created some amazing habits I am proud of.
Over the last 365 days, yes 1 whole year straight, I have consistently logged on my Duolingo App, to learn a new language, practice and expand on many other elements.
It’s all started off with my saying hey, I want to go to Japan one day, and have always wanted to learn Japanese. My brother said hey, why don’t you use the Duolingo App. I was like oh snap, I forgot it was there to realize, over the many years it has development and got much more easier and fun to use.
Of course many who have used it, also say, it’s a bit too easy or too skewed. They have also said it mad annoying and always telling you to log in and create a streak and other tactics. Well, that’s what I wanted. I wanted someone, something, to hold me accountable. Tell me stop doom scrolling and wasting my life on social media and a bunch of dumb ish and get back to things you really want out of life. And for me, it was using my brain and learning Japanese.
So in now time I started learning Japanese, it began fun, then hard then satisfying. Then all those anime, and martial arts movies that were Japanese started to make sense.
I even stepped it up another level, after going 90 days straight. I wanted to learn French, and I was right in there learning, practicing, talking those small steps. And no lie, I was horrible at French. Then I remembered I was more familiar with Spanish so I decided to step my game up. I was working with 90% Spanish speaking persons, and they wanted to invite me into their culture. They kept talking in Spanish and said hey Jixi you need to learn Spanish so we can have better communication, so I did.
I gained so much more acquaintances. They were loving it, and I too. After my push back in Spanish for another 90 days, I was like wow, 6 months in, let’s get back into French. Duolingo had just released an update to learn Chess.
I have forever suck at Chess like real bad. I knew how to move a little, but I lacked understanding, strategy, and confidence. Well after spending years of being on of the greatest at checkers (yes I am boasting), I finally can now say I have learned how to play chess practically. I still have ways to go.
In conclusion, over a span of 365 days and onwards, I have committed time, brain power, and intention to learning everyday, simply by opening up an app, Duolingo. No no no, they are no paying me to write this, I genuinely love to learn and have a new found love for all the languages mentioned above and can’t wait to get deeper and be more fluent them all.
I kind of can add a bit of cocky brag to my resume to say I know and can speak multiple languages. Now c’mon, that’s a flex. By the way, I am looking to make new Spanish, French and Japanese friends. I need to practice using my new owned skills.
Just in case you want to know what languages I am going for next, it will be Chinese, Portuguese, and Italian. I have a very long road to go. My commitment for the next 3-7 years is to learn more and grow in all these languages.
Thanks for reading.

By the way, which language do you speak? And which would be interested to learn?
Carrying my little sanitizer bottle and lotion everywhere. People are dirty, things are dirty, and put those together dirty people in dirty place. But not me, I got the clean solution on me at all times. Whether I am in the car, a sports game, in a New York City train cart, going up and down stairs, I got it on me.
The feeling of joy and clean and no worries, the best feeling.
Okay okay, there are lots of clean people in this world, but let me ask you this, in the public, is there more clean places than dirty places, hmmmm?
My first rock concert in a long long time. OMG, how I love a live band. This concert is well deserved after following this band for almost my entire life. To see them bounce back and trying to continue the legacy is vital lesson in being a creative. I will have a break down of the experience in future post.
Are you a Linkin Park fan? Do you have a favorite or a song you loved from them?
