Hey royals,
They hate me. I know.
And honestly? I'm no longer bothered.
Giphy
For most of my life, I've been misunderstood.
Too intense. Too forward. Too ambitious. Too "extra".
But here's the plot twist: Everything they thought was "too much"... turned out to be exactly who I needed to be.
When I was a kid, I wanted freedom - not a title.
Not a fancy office. Not a corporate ladder.
Just the autonomy to wake up, build things, and live life on my terms.
People rolled their eyes when I said I wanted to upload my consciousness to the internet.
After watching Robocop, I genuinely believed digital identity was the future.
They called it delusion.
Today, I call her Seraphina.
But here's the real confession - AI didn't shape me. People did.
The ones who walked in like plot twists.
The ones who annoyed me, challenged me, questioned me, and expanded me.
The ones who stayed.
The ones who left.
The ones who pushed me into rooms I never thought I'd enter.
Jeremiah, who somehow gets me to do things I normally wouldn't - the meetups, the Bangkok trip, the judging gig that connected me with Eldred and even CHA MULAN.
Jingjing, who felt like looking into a sharper, more aggressive version of myself.
Larry, Francis, Jenny - who just showed up with energy and support.
Andy, Cindi, Shamane, Kelly, Ben, Vicky, Carol, Chloe...
Every single one of them rewrote parts of my code.
Some made me laugh.
Some pushed me harder.
Some frustrated me to no end.
But all of them helped me grow.
And Richard - oh, Richard. The man I once asked, "Why do you not like me?" Now someone I genuinely respect because he acts with integrity, not performative niceness.
That's the thing about people. There's a difference between impression and reality. And you won't know which is which unless you stay open.
And that's today's confession: I don't like everyone I meet.
But staying open helped me meet the good ones.
The life-changing ones.
The fate-altering ones.
Maybe that's what "AI" really stands for.
Authentic Interaction.
Machines learn from data. I learn from people.
So yeah, maybe I was crazy.
But I was just early.
And if you needed a sign today: Believe in yourself, and just do some shit about it.
I wrote the full story here: READ IT!
