Hey, it’s been a while.
Between midterms and moving prep, I’ve barely had time to sit down and write. School’s been hectic as usual, but the biggest change? My girlfriend finally arrived in Canada from Korea. After months apart, we’re finally building our life together here—and honestly, it’s been amazing, chaotic, and kind of surreal.

We’ve been busy figuring out housing stuff, buying furniture, adjusting routines, and getting used to sharing the same time zone again. It’s a new chapter for both of us, and while it hasn’t been smooth 100% of the time, it feels right. I’m grateful every day that we’re finally in the same place.

And while my personal life has been in transition, the markets… well, they’ve been doing their own thing.

Tesla took a dive for a while—nothing surprising if you’ve been watching tech stocks lately. But just like that, it started bouncing back. Investors love a comeback story, especially when Elon’s not tweeting weird stuff (which, let’s be honest, is rare). Bitcoin, too, had its dip moment, but it’s been crawling back up, slowly but steadily. It’s like the market needed a breather after all that hype—and now it’s cautiously coming alive again.

Even Trump’s tariff talk has started to quiet down. At first, it felt like we were heading toward another wave of uncertainty, but it seems like the dust is settling—at least for now. I’m not saying we’re out of the woods, but the panic seems to have turned into a slow, calculated wait-and-see.

Honestly, I haven’t been trading much recently. With so much happening in real life, I’ve taken a step back from the charts. And you know what? That’s okay. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your portfolio is to just… not touch it. The market moves whether you stress over it or not.

Lately, I’ve been learning to enjoy small moments again—morning coffee with her, late-night walks in the city, and the comfort of knowing that even if the market is uncertain, some parts of my life are exactly where they need to be.

Let’s see where things go next.
