In this short monologue, the speaker recounts a personal self‑discovery practice adopted in their early twenties: each year they deliberately chose to master a single new skill. The goal was to avoid dying without truly knowing themselves. Over successive years they learned to scuba dive, play the piano, fly an aircraft, sail a boat, and even performed at an open‑mic comedy night. The narrative emphasizes a simple, sustainable system—one new skill per year—balancing ambition with everyday responsibilities.

In my early 20s, I wanted to discover what's inside of me. So I needed a system, right? I didn't want to die having not discovered it. So I decided every year I would intentionally work on learning one new thing. Figured 2 or 3 or 4 might be hard because I was, you know, we're all doing our work and whatever we do. One I could do. So one year I learned how to scuba dive. One year I learned how to play the piano. One year I learned how to fly. One year I learned how to sail. One year I learned there was an open mic in a comedy club on Thursday nights.
