If I loosened my grip on a plan, a person, an old version of myself, or a dream that no longer fit, I thought I was admitting defeat. So I held on. I held on to arguments long after the other person had moved on. I held on to expectations that made ordinary days feel disappointing. I held on to regrets like they were proof that I cared. I held on to people who had already stepped out of my life, replaying conversations and imagining better endings....]]></description><link>https://gotrarishu.wixsite.com/zetetic/post/how-learning-to-let-go-changed-my-life</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4000a9f69fbd60c76c9cba</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 22:26:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8f4f4c_ad9986d28fed4e719d941e4ca331d092~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_740,h_423,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>gotrarishu</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE SPLIT BETWEEN MAMMALS AND REPTILES.]]></title><description><![CDATA[There's always been an arms race between reptiles and mammals.

Look where you want to go.” This is the very first thing I heard when I was learning mountain biking. At that time, it sounded simple. Almost obvious. But it stayed with me. Later, when I started riding more seriously — especially with my son — I heard a variation of the same advice over and over again: “Look where you want to land.” “Don’t look at the lip.” “Don’t look at the drop.” If you stare at the lip of the jump, you get intimidated by the magnitude of it....]]></description><link>https://gotrarishu.wixsite.com/zetetic/post/look-where-you-want-to-land</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a41497797220de384b16544</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 16:19:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>gotrarishu</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is How I Started My Learning of Cryptography.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Cryptography is often called “The Art of Secret Writing.” Cryptography is often called “The Art of Secret Writing.” It is more than that.
