Now that I'm back from Copenhagen, the realities of life have hit me hard in terms of my profession. The practice of sequencing is novel, somewhat foreign, and very important. But this did not stop me from working hard - from nil to something! Over the past 3-4 years, I've grappled with the daunting task of transitioning from a void of creativity to delving into the intricacies of sequencing.
Having trained in science, I take a practical approach to all of my future undertakings. I am well aware of the hereditary predispositions to cancer that run on my mother's family, as well as the dismal fact that males only live an average of 65 years. This awareness fuels my determination to make the most of the next 20 years.
Today, I revisited the starting point: https://cric48.blogspot.com/2014/06/start.html. I dug into my old works, looking for solutions to help me navigate the next 20 years.
Aging is not a disease, and it doesn't need a cure. It's simply something I must embrace in a healthy manner.
Yep, that was me in the middle of Danish lands. Little did I know, just a couple of years after that adventure, my vision would blur due to myopia. Additional fat would accumulate around my belly due to sarcopenia.
Looking back, the naivety of youth is apparent. At 30, the future seemed uncertain. Yet, with the remaining years ahead, I'm determined to fill them with meaningful pursuits, hopefully for the better. InshaAllah.
