onto today’s topic: neurons firing 🗽 

i’m in nyc right now for yet another side quest and wow, i feel electric.

i was organizing a hack & hang event with soma capital and i forgot how much i love being in a physical space filled with people that want to innovate and bring their ideas into fruition.

it was an office full of developers, founders, researchers, vcs, artists, models even, and all so ambitious in our desire to create something in the world. what blew me away was how rich every conversation was in both humour and great ideas, especially when the crowd winded down and there were ~10 of us left.

while hacking away at a project and whiteboarding new ideas, i met dozens of new people and we talked about our hometowns, dreams, travel plans, life stories, approaches to health, movies, and so much more. 🌟 

it felt like there was 0 friction in being my whole self. as soon as i stepped inside homebrew, my home for the weekend, i felt instantly buzzed with energy and excited to chatter away. this is something i still don’t entirely feel after 6-ish months at unc chapel hill, and i have a few hypotheses as to why that i still need to mentally unpack.

my neurons were firing in a way i haven’t experienced for a while, and i realized i missed the feeling. 🧠 that ambition and discussion shouldn’t be restricted to only being a byproduct of my environment, so i plan to make a more intentional effort of finding these pockets of community in north carolina as well.
