Q: When did you feel something inside you die—without tragedy?
A: February 5th, 2025.

Just like that — no grief, no noise. Only clarity.

It set me free.

Q: What do you keep in mind like a strategist—when others are in panic?
A: A 15-year plan.

Q: What do you want to be the first in history for?
A: For how I run things.
For the sheer number of Easter eggs in everything I create—layered so deep that anyone can find one meant just for them.

Not one.
Not as a baby.
Not later.
Never.

Q: How do you cope with being ‘an inspiration’—while crying at night?
A: Easy. I cry on the bus during the day — got a solid 30 minutes for it.
At night? I grind.
No tears, just war.

Here it is: one of the two recipes I’m currently surviving on.
There’s a good chance I’m sliding into another wave of depression — my body only accepts two meals, and this is one of them.
