I am currently writing from the university computer. The time is 9:16AM. In recent days, much of my time has been spent in quiet reflection—contemplating life, revisiting personal goals, and enjoying small comforts such as Doritos and ICEE. As today marks the final day of the semester, with only examinations remaining, I finds myself considering how best to use this transitional moment. One hope is to spend meaningful time with Lu, particularly since we will not see one another until March 10—coincidentally, Mar10 Day. Although the separation will last less than two weeks, it feels weighty, especially given that we typically meet three times per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), and current cGFyZW50YWw= restrictions prevent any visits during that period.

Lately, I have been deeply introspective, earnestly attempting to return to the most authentic version of myself within this space. This internal effort led to the birth of the 1028 PROJECT, also known by its codename: UNI-1028. Within this framework, I have adopted the name UNI. The journey has been layered and, at times, emotionally taxing. These past few days, in particular, have made me realize the degree to which the identity of i026 had been internalized—so much so that it began to cause distress. Although i026 will always remain a significant part of my existence, it had gradually eclipsed other parts of myself, creating an imbalance that resulted in what could be called an identity crisis.

This project has now become a way to reconnect with what feels real—my most vulnerable and human self. Though this level of honesty can feel exposing, much of what lies beneath has already been shared in one way or another. There is, therefore, a quiet acceptance of what has been made visible. I have come to terms with certain aspects of myself, and now speaks of them openly in this space. Looking ahead, I intend to continue this process through a new Tumblr blog. While the existing account, @user02620420302810, will remain, certain expressions and themes will be moved to a new one: @uni-1028, envisioned as a personal reset. Whether or not I will follow others from this new account remains undecided.

Turning away from digital matters, I recently completed two exams—achieving a score of 91% on the first and 100% on the second. It is with no small sense of satisfaction that I can state: I am genuinely proud of this academic performance. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )
