who am i?
who... am i? do you mean...

where i'm from?
born and raised in the philippines. traveled a lot.
fulfilled my dreams (or so i thought) in california.
hit the hard reset button. now living in portland.

what i've done?
i was a software engineer at a big tech company in silicon valley. one of hundreds of thousands of employees cogs in their capitalist machine.
i never want to be a part of that again.

what i do?
nowadays i just make whatever i wanna make.
discord bots, stardew valley mods, android apps, art memes, extremely niche automation scripts, obscure python utility libraries... the list goes on.

what i dream?
i want to do cool things that actually matter.
not things whose raison d'être is to line the overflowing pockets of the top 1%...
things that make the world a better place.
things that make good people smile.

do you mean...
what i've seen? what you see?
who i love? what i've lost?
what i one day might become?
who am i?

i guess who i am is...
exactly the same as who you are.
not better than.
not less than.
because there is no one who has been, or will ever be, exactly the same as either you or me.

what is this?
inspired by a quote from Sense8.
(also probably way too long, sorry (not really))
