A day late and a bit of personal take on Valentine’s day.
————————————————————————————
For the longest time, I loathed myself for being single. I felt that being single defined my value, that those seven years said something about me not being chosen.
What I didn’t realize was that I had uninterrupted time for myself. During those seven years, I was able to pivot and build my career as a motion designer. I reached a professional level of proficiency in Cinema 4D. I gained a wide range of experiences through my work. I built a career in a foreign country using my third language. I found a community I never imagined I could have. I had so many first experiences, and I fell in love again and again — with learning, with growth, with cultivating myself.
I ran a marathon. I hiked a snowy mountain. I fell in love with bouldering and skiing. I lived my life as fully as I could.
I’m not saying I didn’t have doubts or difficult moments. I slacked off sometimes and retreated from everyone. I overcame depression multiple times and found my way back to myself again and again.
Those seven years were not long, dreadful, lonely years. They were years full of growth, compassion, learning, resilience, and discovery — years of finding out who I am and who I could become. They were defining years of my life. And what is that, if not love?
Valentine’s Day may conventionally be reserved for couples, often excluding people like me from the narrative. But I want to take this moment to celebrate how expansive and wide love can be. This is my take on love — and on how it shapes my life beautifully, with all its imperfections.
Happy new year!
Hope 2026 will be a year full of productivity and growth, a year for more works and explorations to come 🔥

I used to be so afraid with glass material but I guess it's time to really really embrace them 😂
Just started at a new company 2 months ago and I've been learning a lot on the job. Glass material was one of the things that I learned recently from a colleague.
I wanted to do more studies and exploration and more personal project for next year (starting early from the end of this year) and I wanted to be consistent throughout the journey (as much as I could)
Hope next year will be a year full of growth and discovery 🙏
