"Whenever you feel incapable of doing something, a very effective practice is to write down your own list of all the things that you had at one time you believed you would never achieve, but ended up managing to do. Sometimes they can be silly inventories, but they help to knock down the walls between you and your confidence."

"It is not always a matter of laziness. Sometimes we are simply busy maintaining what we have devoted so much time to building, and we have neither the time not the energy to take it to the next level. Or perhaps true change scares us?"

"Whether out of laziness or because of the fast pace of our lives, we end up eating and sleeping in the same way, until our body gives us a serious warning, or we become stale with our partner until a crisis if provoked, and so on in all areas of our lives."

"It's a sad reality for me in my late twenties. At the beginning of the decade, the people I was close to seemed like friends for life, people I could never imagine not seeing every day. But life happens. Love happens. Change and growth happen at different paces for different people, and sometimes the paces just don't line up."

It doesn't feel like bossiness to me. It feels like desperation. I want order. I want peace.

Short Attention Span

Hirap ako makatapos ng task nang isang upuan lang. Ang bilis ko ma-distract sa mga bagay-bagay. Kaninang 5am sabi ko isusulat ko to, pero ngayon 7am na, saka pa lang ako nag log in. Kung saan saang website pa muna ako napunta - Instagram, Reddit, Facebook. Minsan kahit naka focus na ako, biglang may maaalala akong walang kwenta tas ise-search ko sa internet, tas kung san san na ako mapupunta hanggang sa dalawang oras na pala ang lumipas. Baka hindi ako ang problema, yung oras ang problema - masyadong mabilis! Freelancer work ko ngayon. Nagma-manage ng LinkedIn account ng client, tas 3 clients on top of that. Pag magwowork, nakaupo lang. Sa previous jobs ko, hindi ako nakaupo lang. Laging nakatayo, palakad lakad, minsan patakbong lakad, at kapag urgent, takbo na talaga (sa hospital mo ako makikitang ganito). But I loved what it gave me - nice shape of hips and legs. ESL teacher, marketing staff, at hospital secretary pa lang naman jobs ko bago maging freelancer. Nung nag ESL teacher ako, hindi man palaging nae-exercise ang legs ko, nahahasa naman ang Korean skills ko doon. Once, I could do a casual conversation with the natives. The skills just faded in time. Matagal nang out of practice. Nung marketing staff naman ako, most of the time nakaupo lang din ako, pero pwede ako nun maglakad lakad, sisimoy ng hangin sa labas ng building, akyat sa elevator, baba sa hagdan. Best part siguro yung maglalakad pauwi kasi madami at magaganda ang mga puno doon. Sa job ko ngayon, after work... sa kwarto na ang punta. Minsan ang workplace, kwarto na rin. Nag open na ako sa boypren ko dati na nabo-bored ako, ang sabi nya marami raw gusto mag freelancer, nasa bahay ka na lang, mas mataas pa ng husto sahod ko kaysa sa kanila at higit sa lahat, hawak ko ang oras ko. Less than 5 hours lang ako nagwo-work everyday. Oo nga naman, di ko na to ipagpapalit no - unless may kayang tumapat sa sinasahod ko for less than 5 hours everyday din hahaha Pansin ko na hindi rin ako makatapos ng libro nang isang upuan lang. I've read some good books. Pero di ako mapakali kapag nakaupo lang. Kahit na maganda na yung binabasa ko, isasara ko libro at maglalakad lakad sa bahay. Minsan mag-i-squat. Oo nga, hindi nga ako mapakali. Ngayon ko lang napansin na ang gulo ng thoughts ko, bakit isinama ko pa yung job experience sa kwento, e di naman mahalaga. Wala lang. Naalala ko lang. See? Short attention span! Okay, back to the topic. Napansin ko na mas productive ako kapag nagte-take ako ng breaks after every task na natatapos ko. Hindi ko kaya ng isang upuan lang? E di dalwahin. Hindi pa rin? E di tatluhin. Basta take lang ng take ng breaks hanggang matapos na lahat. Pag hindi na yan effective, ewan ko na lang. Iisip ulit ng ibang hack para matapos ang tasks.

bye.

Learning smtg knew abt yourself, that's what I'm saying. Smtg you've never done before, and never expected you were capable of doing it.

TIL that if I'm horny and I watch porn, that's okay. But if I'm not, I fckin throw up I could go not eating anything 2 days in a row (I shouldn't though).

[masterlightt]

I had to turn my back to swallow. I don't want you to see me drooling over you in a black apron and just boxer and shorts underneath.

I don't understand how they say sex is still taboo. I mean that's what literally everybody's talking about.

I don't get people who are into dating but don't expect to be ghosted.

It's like confessing your love but don't expect to be rejected. Why are you not readying yourselves for disasters like that?

I just see a lot of people ranting on the Internet how they were ghosted. Welcome to the dating world, I guess.

Before I entered the dating scene, I have read a lot of self-help books. I think I've read everything I needed to know... yeah, including STDs. İ think that's why it was easy for me to move on if İ dated guys and İ felt like we did not click. No apologies said. No expectations, and no second dates. Hell nah, if you did not put in effort enough to be impressive on the first date, you're not gonna put in effort ever. That's just me, though. And if you didn't like me on the first date, that's on you.

So these people that are very hurt they got ghosted, aren't they pathetic? Don't push yourself to them. Else you're just gonna force the other party to pretend they like you and that's toxic. Pack up, get back on Tinder, find another one, and move on!
