Melancholic 2023 12 03 0355H

I feel like I am running in place. Tired but not getting anywhere. Hard to give attention to 3 kids while their mom is doing residency. Love my kids but between work, and trying to find a way to make ends meet and almost failing. Not gonna lie it is getting to me. Thinking of just burying myself in a new project or something. Feels like crypto is my escape right now. The only part of my life that seems to be going great.

Drowning 2022 10 27 0230H

I feel I am slowly losing myself.

I had a suspicion that this would happen.

But nothing is ever free.

My family gives me so much joy.

Hugging my kids make me thank God I am alive.

But, What is this dread that I am feeling.

Two things have never left me since I’ve heard/watched them.

John Mayer’s Stop This Train I want to get out

and Before Sunset’s “Life is about fighting for meaning”

The past 5 years were extremely hard.

I had to fight for what I have right now.

I had to swallow my pride and muck it up in the estero.

But, because of this I am facing this situation.

Basic needs met, now facing existential dread once again.

What will I see when I walk this unknown path.

Silent Scream!!!!

Realisations 2020 12 12 0412H

I realized something while watching Discovery Episode 9 Season 3. The writers with one scene made the Admiral a good leader in my eyes. Good writing.

But it started me pondering why I can’t seem to watch a new show right now. I have such long a backlog that I have been actively ignoring watching CLOY, Itaewon Class, Startup.

I try to be introspective, I even have the fantasy that my default mode is introspection first.

I have been try to keep a semblance of normalcy by not watching new things.

The seeming contradiction is I am watching KPOP a lot.

Upon further thought I am just going back to the college age mindset to try new things or maybe more accurately a midlife crisis type of mindset wherein you try youthful things to capture ones youthful mindset again.

All in all I am not Okay but It’s Okay not to be Okay.
