Today I went to the library and picked a random book about marine biology. I didn’t know anything about deep sea creatures, but I sat down and read. I learned about jellyfish that lived forever and how ocean vents release gas from under the seabed. Sometimes, stepping into the unknown teaches you just how curious you really are.
Today I tried being a parent to my younger sister. It was exhausting. I had to get her to focus on work while juggling my own, and it felt impossible. She kept asking questions and needed constant attention. At one point, she lost a math assignment and broke down crying. We spent an hour trying to find it, only to realize it was under another account. I got her a cheese bagel and Mod Pizza to cheer her up, and it helped.

Today I fasted from sunrise to sunset. The hunger came and went, but what surprised me more was how much I thought about food out of habit, not actual need.
