Just a few days after I found out she was battling cancer again, I lost the person I loved and respected the most. I know you’ll always be watching over me, and I owe everything I am to you. She was always a fighter, but I’m glad she went instantaneously w/o pain. RIP Mom. 🙏❤️

Celebrated my 24th birthday yday! The last year has by far been the one with the highest variance emotionally. Fun parts: interning, graduating, new job all exciting! Took my dad out to dinner before he leaves for Mumbai. Onto hopefully a year with higher EV & lower variance 🫡

@ty_johannes Is the strength of the opposition for both significantly different? Wouldn't this impact your results? (Speaking as someone who is suspicious of Neimann, want to be sure this is not a spurious correlation)
