  • Went on a lovely little weekend trip with my wife last weekend and we had some serious talks. I realised I’ve been dishonest with myself about a bunch of things. The common denominator is the fact that I’ve never really learned to talk to people about things I struggle with. Even though I’ve been doing fine in life in general, I’m really starting to see the boundaries of what friendships and family connections can be when you’re always trying to keep the peace and never bring anything up that could sour the mood (in my mind, anyway).

    Something to work on, but it’s scary. Maybe I’m more afraid of being rejected than I’ve been telling myself I am.










  • Had an intense weekend. I went clubbing twice and now suffering the hit on my immune system at work, oop.

    Starting to figure out a way to talk to my friend about her self neglect and poor handling of her friendships. Sometimes life is a lot easier than I think it is. Just have to talk to people about stuff, it doesn’t need to be the perfect conversation each time as long as I’m bringing up the subject I guess.


  • Getting into the second week of my new job after a mostly relaxing weekend. The first week was fine, mostly tiring because there were a lot of impressions, but I’m really happy with the soft landing my new colleagues arranged for me.

    Yesterday (Sunday) I finally got to run the 10k I’ve been training for since July. It was my main motivator to get out of the house and stay busy while I was looking for a new job, so the timing couldn’t have been better. Last week I didn’t run at all because of the new job, but I didn’t need to anyway. All went well and I’m very happy to say I ran a new personal record at 47:30 mins :)

    Don’t really know yet if I’ll try to keep in shape for future races but for now I’m definitely resting my legs, hehe.





  • Had a great weekend!

    I started a D&D campaign with friends and it was a great first session. I love my character coming to life. There are some background things to figure out still but I love love playing them so the whole thing is already a big win in my book.

    This week will be my final days of chilling at home before I start my new job next Tuesday. I’m excited to start doing something again after 2.5 months unemployed. Trying not to think about how tired I’ll be in 2 weeks from now 😅
