How I See the World & Why I Build the Way I Do

There's a concept from The Element by Sir Ken Robinson that has always stayed with me:

If you want to understand your purpose, look at what you loved doing as a child.

When I look back, my clues were obvious. I just didn't have the language for them yet.

As a kid, I used to sit on my parents enclosed porch with a chapter book in my hands, not to read it but to rewrite it.

Word for word.

Line by line.

A private world I could control, rebuild, and slip into.

Then there was music.

Nsync, Backstreet Boys... my first concerts, my first hit of collective emotion.

After school, I'd lock myself in my room turn on MTV's TRL and watch music videos to memorize choreography like t was a secret language.

And science. Always science.

My solar system project became legendary in my own mind: plexiglass base, painted black, CDs as planets, orbital rings marked out perfectly.

My own universe on a sheet of plastic.

Those threads never left me.

I can still stare ate the moon for hours.

Astronomy still feels like breathing.

Light polution frustrated me because the stares are the one place where you can feel both infinite and small at the same time. A reminder that we're looking backwards in time every time we look up.

As a physic major, everything started to click:

Everything vibrates.

Everything is energy.

Everything has movement, frequency, color, flow.

Nothing exists alone. Nothing stands still.

And that's how my mind moves. Analytical, cosmic, intuitive, deeply pattern-based.

Quiet spaces is my comfort.

Thinking in stillness.

Being in my own world.

Sharing private moments with people who matter most.

That kind of peace I protect the most.

But ther's another side of me - the festival side.

I love music festivals and the EDM culture, even though I have to mentally prepare myself for them.

Not just for the noise, but the energy of it.

Festivals feel like pure human connection. No judgement, no hierarchy, no pretense.

Just music, movement, and the sense that for a moment, everyone is part of something bigger than themselves.

It makes you wish the outside world worked the same way.

I've always been a builder.

A few years ago, I had a very specific vision of the dining room table I wanted. The size, the shape, the feel, the wood.

I could see it in my mind long before it existed.

One daye, I drove to the store, bought the wood and materials, hauled everything to my parents' house, and built it in my dad's shop.

Sanded it.

Stained it.

Painted it.

My dad helped where I needed a hand, but the blueprint was mine.

I check astrology daily.

Not for predictions but for patterns.

For rhythm.

For energy shifts.

Social interactions drain me.

Small talk feels like static.

I want depth, knowledge, dry humor, puzzles, systems, connection that actually mean something.

For so long, I didn't understand why I saw gaps in systems instantly, why patterns lit up in my mind like constellations, why i spoke differently, why i connected things that shouldn't connect but somehow do.

Therapy changed everything.

It stripped away the noise.

It let me finally see the architecture of my mind.

And the most liberating part is slipping into that flow state where time disappears.

Which makes sense, because time is an illusion.

Energy is the real measurement.

Nikola Tesla said it long before any of us had the words.

This is why TETHYS looks the way it does.

Not because I followed a plan.

But because TETHYS is my mind externalized.

It's the blueprint I've always carried.

MoodWave is the clerest example.

Most peopel will never know the science behind it. The nervous system regulation, the emotional decompression after the concerts, the BPM logic, the psychological layering.

They'll just feel better. Grounded.

Seen by a system that understands what they need without saying a word.

They don't need to know the architect.

The inention is enough.

Because I dont build for hype.

I build for meaning.

Purpose.

Actual impact.

Looking back at the girl rewriting books, painting planets, studying the stars, building tables from imagination, oscillating between solitude and collective connection. It all makes sense.

This is how i see the world:

Everything connects.

Everything vibrates.

Everything matters at its own frequency.

TETHYS wasn't created outside of me.

It was already written in my system, waiting for me to recognize it.

This is my blueprint.
