Genetic Identity of Bengal. AI-Generated.

The genetic history of the Bengali population is influenced by a blend of indigenous South Asian genes and multiple waves of migration over thousands of years.

There Is A Light
I am seeing everything clearly now. I’ve been watching services of a pastor talking about God. He’s been opening my eyes to see that we are containers and it's up to us what we choose to represent ourselves as. I am not a believer of “we are nothing without God” because everybody's something. It’s a matter of what we do with this something that we all are. No I am not a Christian but I agree that there is a creator. I know because she talks to me through everything and everyone. She’s in us all, and she loves us all. If she didn't, all of us wouldn’t have had a chance to be conscious. I say if you’ve had a chance to live she’s definitely put thought into your existence. Some people don’t truly believe in her or know her, but that doesn’t stop the love that she gives. When the pastor said “without God you are nothing” I thought no. We’re all something; some of us just don’t know it yet. It’s not until we recognize her, that we realize we are something. We can live in the illusion that we’re nothing, we can think or believe it, but it’ll never be true because there’s always someone outside of us believing something different. I see this is the beauty of life; this is the meaning. Perception, realization, sight. What we see is what becomes true in our lives, but it doesn’t have to be true in other people's lives. I love that; I love how I can see other people’s greatness before they can. I love that I can acknowledge it and give people their flowers. That’s because I see the beauty in myself. That’s because the forgiveness and grace I’ve given myself is free. Whilst other people’s love and grace comes with a cost. Not to say this is wrong, but I see life becoming easier when I can have the grace to let go of people’s flaws and my own. I’m not here to be perfect; I’m here to be me. I’m not here to be right or seen by anyone other than me. I love this new era I’m in; this era of self discovery. Thank you, Divine, for always bringing me back to myself. Thank you for the ups and the downs, thank you for this roller coaster we call life. You’ve been so good to me; you’ve created me to see you. Not everyone gets this luxury so I thank you. There are some days I want to give up; some days I want to give life back to you and sleep peacefully but I comprehend why I’m here now. I’m living in gratitude now instead of despair and anger. You’ve helped me overcome this; all I had to do was ask and you were there. I’m glad you see me worthy of help. I’m glad you see me worthy of forgiveness.

Flicker. Content Warning.
OMG why is time moving so slow. I swear it said 10:53pm for the past 10 minutes on this desk clock. Wonder if I can just leave 7 minutes early without anyone noticing. I'm so exhausted & feel like I am missing a lot of hours of sleep from last night however I did some good work today. All the work is done for today and the next few days. I decided that I am definitely gonna start packing up so by the time I am done my relief is here. HOPEFULLY!

Philosophy of "doing more with less"
Buckminster Fuller's philosophy of "doing more with less" is a profound and transformative concept that has shaped modern thinking about efficiency, sustainability, and the responsible use of resources. This philosophy, often encapsulated in the term "ephemeralization," underscores the idea that technological advancements can enable humanity to achieve more with fewer resources, thereby reducing waste and environmental impact. Fuller's vision is not merely about creating efficient technologies but also about fostering a mindset that values conservation and sustainable practices.

Confusion is like a road block
Information overload happens sometimes. Did I watch too much television? Did I read too many articles online of various topics? Did I inquire too much about various possibilities as I was trying to figure out how to "get a life"? Probably. It's like going to the buffet restaurant. There's so much! Where do I start? What should I try? What will I like?

I guess this is 2025
Happy New Year. According to some. Not all. Some people celebrate their New Year on different days throughout the year (as discussed here.) But if January 1st is your go-to New Year, then I hope it is happy. I hope that all of your resolutions stick, and you reach all your personal goals for the year, and I hope we don’t all die or lose our rights or our healthcare or the ability to vote or aren’t swallowed whole by the rising sea levels or tornados in places there shouldn’t be tornados. Truly. I hope that we all survive the next year, and at least the three years that follow. I’m not feeling confident about this, but I’ve been wrong before. So, cheers to being wrong! And speaking of healthcare, here’s a special cheers to Luigi Mangione, who I do not believe did anything wrong (literally I think he is a fall guy,) but cheers to what he represents for a lot of us. Cheers to raising awareness of social injustice, class warfare, and the ruling class of oligarchs and billionaires. Let them eat cake for once. It’s been awhile.

Bye Bye 2024
2024 was the year I broke up with the love of my life. It was near the end of February. One of my best friends said it was the best birthday present he ever had because he hated my ex-partner with a passion because of the way I was treated. I felt like I had lost a big part of myself because the breakup was painful, but at the same time, we saw it coming a long time ago. I was just too stubborn to admit it. The red flags were there, but I didn't want to look up.

Perseverance...
2024 was a year of massive changes in my life. January brought a realization that I could not continue living life in fear of the next explosion from someone I cared deeply about. I couldn't keep running with my kids every time this individual lost their temper.February brought trying to be flexible while holding the boundary that I was single...March brought my first surgery with a hard recovery and the realization that I couldn't maintain the boundary of keeping my personal property and body safe by myself.April brought becoming a lone home owner - officially! And turning to the very system I am terrified of to help keep myself safe.May brought a lot of unknowns and changes to the property as other's belongings (mostly) left. It also brought a new friend into my life.June brought more changes and stressors regarding my children.July brought rediscovering myself and trying to show myself self-love after years of never being allowed to take time for myself.August brought sadness and grief as I moved in my journey towards acceptance. It brought anger that I wasn't enough and fear that I would never be enough for anyone - especially not myself.September brought the closing of a chapter - and the urge to end my story completely. It helped show me the parts of myself that I still needed to heal, but I couldn't move past blocks within myself.October brought a new diagnosis - and new medication. It was a game changer, but it always brought a new reality for me to consider and adapt too. It brought farewells to some friendships and caused massive amounts of self-reflection.November brought lots of disappointments, lots of triggers, and lots of inner work. It brought a lot of anger with it as I came to realize that my intense guilt and people pleasing could have been helped years ago with this new medication... and accepting that not feeling guilty and so inconsiderate for taking time to myself was how most people feel... and again being angry because I had been working so hard in therapy when a simple pill made it so much better!December brought good things and bad things. Some triggers improved. Others did not. Learning that I could just be who I am, without feeling bad when people didn't choose me, and that that doesn't make me uncaring or unloving. In fact, I realized that letting go of nouns (people, places, things) that no longer match with me IS not only loving myself, but also loving them. *smile* December ended with a major life twist for me... and it took me some time, but I'm okay with it and it'll be a good thing either way it goes!
