Over the last 24 to 36 hours or so, I've had a major uptick in mood. I remember I had a healing sort of dream where I got my feelings out to some characters from my dreams and weirdly enough, I woke up the next morning feeling better. It...
I haven't come here to write in a while because I've been extremely tired and depressed. Over the last week or so, I've spent most of my time asleep. As I am writing this entry, my fatigue persists. It's been rather frustrating dealing...
This is a rewrite of an old story I wrote back in 2020 and was initially published on Substack. This isn't a major rewrite—just some revisions to make it flow better and have a bit more logic to it. I hope you enjoy! “Go into the woods...
So I've been going back to the gym lately and I think I hit a wall today. I was just too tired to go, and I don't enjoy how I don't seem to have the capacity for many things in life anymore. My body is also really sore and honestly I...
I've been feeling better today. I was able to go to the gym and do my laundry. Overall, I feel like I'm out of depression once again. Now I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm happy, but I at least don't have any of the destructive looming...
I've been having a greater desire to escape my head lately. I've done better at cutting out addictions and other escapist tendencies in my life as of late because I know that it's not good for me, but the urge to go back to those things...
I don't know what's been going on, but I've been on a self-deprecation kick over the last 24 to 36 hours. I haven't really done much externally to show this, but internally it's been quite the war. I seem to have this bad habit of...
I've been feeling rather prolific this last week or so, but that's clearly due to the continued novelty of my new workflow. I had to switch from nano to micro today because I couldn't do proper text wrapping in nano, which is completely...
I felt a brief pause before starting this entry today. I have this desire to try and maintain novelty with my thoughts, so I don't want to harp on the same thoughts over and over again in sequence between entries. Unfortunately, though,...
I decided to do another entry today because I'm feeling the novelty of my new desk setup and writing almost exclusively in nano (my text editor). I also have a new tool called proselint which is a python tool that scans my prose and...
Well probably the most exciting thing that's happened today is that I got a new desk. It's a much needed replacement from my old one that was this stupid L-shaped thing that I had to build myself and I did a really poor job, so it was...
Today is just another day, really. I don't have a whole lot on my mind at this present moment, but I feel compelled to write to not only keep up my habit and get all of my metaphysical gunk out, but also because I still want to feel the...
It’s a hot one today, perfect weather for summer drinking at the watering hole two blocks away from campus. The bar is nice, but it’s old. I’ve been working here for about six months now and even though I have to deal with broken taps...
The Machine By the time you finish reading this article, someone in the United States will have died due to an addiction. It’s widely known that addiction ends and ruins lives. Its effects on almost every aspect of life are profound, but...
Setting up this blog has been a complete pain in my ass, man. Apparently the Zola + Neocities stack is just not intuitive at all despite Zola claiming triviality with regards to deployment. Fucking trivial my ass, straight up. I spent...
