Haikus

On moving on
What if [something else]
Wistful counterfactuals
You will never know.

Many homes
There's love where I am
Tears toh kudina smiles
Leaving, arriving.

On not acting
I like agency
When the ball's not in my court
Its hard to let go.

Syllable overflow
With uncompressed thoughts
You'll run out of syllables
I guess I'll just stop n...

Task overflow
A glance at the clock
Wave of things not done builds up
Breathe and pause through it.

Neutral jing
You don't have to act
To observe can be enough
As it passes through.

Spring forward
Breathing in spring air
Pretty skies, a gentle breeze
Calmness radiates.

Learning
Weak prior knowledge
Can make concepts hard to grasp
Ughhh steep learning curve.

Literature Review
So much work's been done
Stand on shoulders of giants
How to get up there?

On doing the brave thing
Face fears heads on
You can do it! Keep going!
I am exhausted.

Choices
The world's your oyster
To ease ball of anxiety
Embrace not knowing.

Being on the job market
I care about [things]!!
Sketching out a persona
Is it who I am?

Interviewing
Please describe yourself
Saying same things many times
Begin to feel fake.

Growing up
With the change time brings
This disillusioned adult
Misses earnest me.

Signs from the universe
Life is hard, complex
Can't plan/ understand all things
Be humble. Let go.

To-do list horrors
'Nother day is done
The unchecked items persist
But hey, so do I.

Priority queue
When more add() than pop()
O(n) space overwhelms
Delete nodes. Do less.

The way through
Cramps, but for the heart
When strong jolts of sadness hit
Can't explain? Observe.

Gardening
Post hard, sweaty work
Yard is mostly thistle free
And so is my mind.

Permanent impermanence
Imperfect ensō
Stays with whats true here, now
While free from the shoulds.
