Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
How do I start leaving more of a legacy behind?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
Are the systems around us, across countries, built to support or bar us?

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
Watching the lunar eclipse at the beginning of the month! I am not someone who has ever been connected to nature in any way, but I have been moonwatching with a friend every month, and it feels like a very welcoming and manageable first step to kindle that relationship.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
I saw a close friend deal with grief and loss and it took a much bigger toll on me than I had anticipated. It struck me, especially because I felt powerless and like there was so little I could do for the person.

Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

October 2, 2025
I originally assumed:
I used to think I couldn't have a friendship with my family members. I am not detached from my family whatsoever, fortunately, but it's always been more of a familyship; a sister-brother bond, a father-son connection, rather than friends.
October 2, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
I'm transitioning into a notion of wanting to have a stronger relationship with my immediate family. Essentially, the essence of a friendship within our existing relationships. I don't have much of a plan yet, but trusting that they feel the same way has pushed me to action!
October 2, 2025
A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Opening up to my sister and being vulnerable with her for the first time. It was too brief, it was also too intimidating, but I am happy we shared a moment where I opened up about some of my feelings, even if shortly.

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
What I had previously considered the "cliche", getting to know someone new by having day-to-day conversations, has surprisingly worked wonders. I have reached out to people, Doug and Naomi reached out to me, which is a super pleasant surprise.

Hi Anna!
It's genuinely amazing to see you show up in so many spaces in The Flight School, even as you navigate loads of transition and uncertainty in your own personal life. You seem so grounded and ambitious, and it's always genuinely heartwarming to see! Keep being Anna :D

Hi Zawadi!! Thank you for being genuinely proactive and interested in getting to know me through co-creation. I will definitely be taking a page out of your book as I found it quite admirable and kind! I genuinely look forward to creating alongside you :)

Your proactivity thus far in being steps ahead of the program in planning for Japan, but also checking in on me and helping me when I miss a session, has genuinely meant a lot and is inspiring me to push myself to do more. Always a pleasure and always grateful <3

Kashimani Simasiku
Thank you so much for being an amazing friend during the month of September. I have come to find you a confidant, and I have been able to share my struggles during my visa process, and you have been a huge support during that time, and I am truly grateful.

I spent a week in Oman with my father in the month of August. Not having much to do whatsoever throughout the week, we unintentionally spent almost 4 hours in this beautiful tea shop we had visited. We got to talk about everything from his work and my gap year to favorite movies and politics. It is not often I get the opportunity or space to connect with my dad so it was quite wholesome and I was grateful afterwards :D
The fourth photo was on the morning of the day before and it's definitely my favorite capture from the month :P
unexpectedly left behind a legacy, had more of an impact than I had thought...

It's fulfilling knowing you're still remembered when you leave a place important to you.
ALA wasn't the easiest of times for me; it had its ups and downs, but since grad, I have repeatedly tried distancing myself from it.
A week-ish ago, I received a message with a Google Doc from one of my juniors, whom I was always close to. A draft of an assignment to write a letter to HIS juniors to give them advice, as they are at the very dawn of a two-year journey.
Lo and behold, right there, as the very opening words of the letter he wrote, my words. A quote from a short film I had made about my anxieties before graduation, yet apparently, it touched one more heart than I knew. <3.
