Hey it’s another low

Pretty low low

Just a bad day

But maybe not really a bad day, just a combination of things that are unpleasant

I tried to take a melatonin pill yesterday without water

It kind of got stuck in my throat, I thought it went down the wrong pipe, I started panicking

Spilled water over my bed

Still couldn’t fall asleep then bc of the adrenaline

Then today at work I honestly got a lot done

But most of the people on my team were in another office

And I just don’t feel that close to that team

I feel like I should have been promoted during the reorganization

Instead, I got put on another team- basically demoted

Then they pulled me back up 2 months later

I don’t think everyone is happy with that – or I feel like people are making me know that I’m not shit in their eyes on purpose

I’m not sure

I looked back on some photos again

Honestly I was with some people I liked liked

But they didn’t work out

One because I was moving across the globe

The other because of her background and trauma and my bad response to it

These couple of months I’ve been trying to focus on cutting out addictions and being a better man

For a while I was getting better

In terms of taking care of my appearance, I’ve gotten new glasses, am thinking of lasik

Bought better clothes, started to work out at least twice a week again

Got a perm for the first time and everyone loves it

But in terms of the addiction to porn

It’s just been difficult

I’m learning all about addictions man

Crash course addict right here

I bought a porn blocker and have just found other ways around it

Memorized pathways to it become more creative

Found an actual girl and she just can’t hold my interest

Tough realization right?

Work then porn then sleep then work then porn work out sleep

Is that crazy?

And I am aware of it and I hate it so much and I will break out of it

I am not sure how many people are living like this

Today someone from work, in my team but like newly added kind of leader

She kind of talked to me like I wasn’t important

And I just hated that

There are deeper office politics but I don’t know if I am on the stronger side of things

I am taking Spanish classes

Thinking about Peace Corps

I should just get back to trying to get better

Sometimes I just run out of gas

Last week was a 6 day week with a makeup day from New Years

And I just ran out of gas

That’s it for today I am going to sleep- I just felt like I should write again

Because I know for a fact it helps

There was a big earthquake today, some balloons were popped

I’ve started to look into writing my own NFT tracker

And my favorite part of the January 1st new years was when mom bounced up to me super super happy when it turned happy new year

Tomorrow will be a new day

So I’ll brush up and start getting better then
