Hello
hi what day would you relive?
Oh man! That's a tough question haha
it definitely is
I'd say a day from a family trip this last summer. We spent a day in Mexico and it was so fun. I had never been before what about you?
fun! this may sound pretentious, but i've started meditating recently and i think it's best to not focus on the past do you know what i mean? like it's more important to embrace right now and just be happy rather than wishing for a day in the past maybe i wish that question was "what's your favorite memory" instead
Haha. No that makes sense. I'd agree with that too. I love to remember stuff like that, but if your reminiscing turns into wishing you could go back in time... that's bad
exactly, i agree
cause then you stop moving forward. My mom has a funny little sign that says "stop looking backwards. You're not going that way"
true something important i learned is that depression comes from focusing on the past, and anxiety comes from focusing on the future
That makes perfect sense!
yeah! i love thinking about these things haha
Very philosophical haha I find that looking both forward and back is good in moderation
do you like philosophy?
In moderation hahaha I enjoy talking about it to a degree, but I don't spend much time thinking about it lol
Yeah philosophy can definitely end up just thinking yourself in circles are you more of an engineering applied science guy?
Haha too true sort of.. I'm a wired hodgepodge... I am a very technical person, I study computer science. But at the same time I have a very artistic side. I also have an animation emphasis what about you
i'm a computer science major too! i also wanted to do the animation emphasis, but i just decided on the bioinformatics emphasis actually
oh nice!! That stuff is super interesting. No way I could pull it off though ahah kudos
well i'm just barely getting started, we'll see how things go haha have you done a lot of animation yourself?
yah!! It's pretty fun! VERY time consuming my focus is visual effects
that's awesome so do you use after effects and such?
Actually, not a ton. The name after effects is a bit deceiving. Technically speaking after effects is a compositing software. Basically that's a fancy way of saying that it's purpose is to put the different layers of stuff together at the end We use houdini FX and maya mostly
interesting
Houdini's strong point is physical simulations of real world things.. Like water and fire
sweet. have you ever seen those satisfying water simulations on reddit and such?
