A Eulogy For Me.

Описание: A personal eulogy for the version of me that achieved everything I wanted since childhood. Now it's time to let her go.

What I'm leaving behind:

Global businesswoman identity
Speaking at conferences, closing deals, building teams across 6 continents
Structured, disciplined, work-obsessed lifestyle (7am-midnight daily)
Type A, rigid, boxes and labels
Economics field pioneer (10 years building a career from nothing)

Why I'm letting go:

The old world changed (AI, isolationism, attention economy)
What worked then doesn't work now
Reached plateau - no longer growing
Too structured, too stubborn to adapt
Identity = only work (unsustainable)

What I'm embracing instead:

Renaissance woman - multi-talented, artistic + scientific
Adaptability over rigid structure
Speed, emergence, experimentation
Mastery across multiple unrelated fields
Integration: work + hobbies + social + family + self

New explorations:

Art, dance (ballet), tea culture, teaware, tableware
Porcelain vs bone china, wood, leather, silk
Physics, fashion, craftsmanship
Speaking with artisans, learning from hands-on creators

Key insight:
Not forgetting the old me - those skills stay. But removing the anchor, the box, the label. Ready to experience a new lifetime within my one lifetime.

Macro context:

Post-Trump re-election
Post-COVID shift
AI emergence
Multiple waves (micro/macro/medium) crashing simultaneously
World moving from collaboration → inward focus
From value creation → attention economy

The metaphor:
Empty cup to fill it with new things. Can't add to a full cup.
