Bloodlines in the Cloud: When the Algorithm Meets the Ancestor
People say that time changes things. It doesn’t. When I was younger, I believed that I just had to wait for the future to come, for my life to change, and it would magically be everything I imagined it to be. I believed that when the time was right, things would happen, and if I kept hoping for something different, my life would eventually transform into a better one, that I would travel, I would have incredible opportunities, I would finally feel fulfilled.
It never happened.
I spent years waiting, assuming that time alone would bring change, that something external would shift and suddenly, my life would be what I had always imagined. Then one day, I got fed up. I realised that I had already wasted so many years and nothing was different. I couldn’t leave my life to time and fate anymore. I had to do something about it. Sitting on my couch and watching DSTV was not helping move things in the right direction either.
