*entangle 얽어매다, 걸어서 꼼짝 못하게 하다

*brilliance 탁월함, 뛰어남

*come to terms with (특히 좋지 않은 일을) 받아들이려고 애쓰다, 받아들이는 법을 배우다

It was just step-by-step proving to myself I can do it.

In a way, that resonated quite a lot.

*strife 갈등, 다툼

*endearing 사랑스러운

*win over 설득하다, 자기편으로 끌어들이다

*to win one over 설득하다, 마음을 얻다, 동의를 얻다 I try to be endearing, charming, whatever, to win them over.

+) The salesman tried to win me over with a discount. 

*to some degree 어느 정도는

We all do that to some degree.

*A game 최고의 상태, 최상의 컨디션

*be on your A game 최선을 다하다, 최고의 컨디션을 유지하다

 But it gets very frustrating.

You're trying to be on your A game.

Words of affirmation are not a big thing in Asian culture.

Did your parents embrace that part of American culture?

They're getting better, I think.

*receptive 수용적인

*wrap someone's brain around ~을 분석하다,이해하다

It's fine, if I can wrap my brain around it.

Infinity is something I cannot wrap my brain around.

I find that all very unsettling.
