I know I know I know I shouldn't be comparing myself to others and that everyone is on their own timeline or running their own race or whatever,, but I came across the girl on tiktok who said she coded a spotify/twitter bot when she was in high school and like I know those are the types of skills that one needs to build up to but she mentioned it as a throwaway line like it was nothing but it sounds so complex and I wouldn't even know where to begin (the logical side of my brain would like to note that the creator is about to graduate with a CS degree while I have taken a single CS class). My focus is learning bioinformatics this summer so I can get those skills down. I still plan to work on shell-based cyoa's in my downtime to keep the skills up (and maybe also working on that piggybank idea I had to try out some other skills). I will worry about creating spotify-based things some other time.

For now, I've got the github student developer pack (probably too early but hey why not) and I will keep on carryin' on at my own little pace.

My roommate is gone for the summer which is exciting in some respects but also terrifying in others (probably only bc I worry about things a lot). Like living alone is great and all, but there's also no one immediately nearby to check if I'm okay. I had a major tummyache last week and there's no one around to grab me remedies if I can't get them myself. I mean there's my lab mate.. my.. island-friend who lives nearby but right now she's on vacation! My parents check in occasionally and I chat with my sister often but if I went missing people might not know for a scarily long time.

Like last weekend I went to a party in a part of town that I don't really care to frequent alone, but there's no one really in my immediate area who could be my anchor, my hey-im-going-out-i-should-be-back-by-midnightish go-to person.

So I need more friends/closer friends nearby.

Got it. Cool.

Uhm something I learned last week was that raw broccoli is good for you but only in moderation. Eat too much and they'll unionize in your stomach against you. I was eating it daily as a little snack to get my fiber up but then after a few days had these dreadful stomach cramps and my mom told me that the veg could actually be the cause. Few days of no broccoli later and I'm good as new lol. So messed up because I thought I was getting my life together while I was actively making it worse :(

Today I'm thankful that the breakfast casserole I made this morning turned out amazingggg. I added cinnamon swirls to it but I think I went a little light. Next time, more for sure. And maybe nutmeg.

Also thankful for occasional rainy mornings!! Especially when they give way to partly cloudy afternoons.

Anyway keep an eye on this space bc I uhhhh I might be about to buy a bass maybe? And like, in a way that aligns with my values? fingers and toes crossed for a response [edit, next day: meetup planned, very anxious about it]

Thursday November 9th

6am Woke up really well rested! Good!

Got sad when I saw I didn't have any messages overnight. CBT: This is your anxiety plugging emotions into nothing. Nothing has transpired, there's no real reason to feel anxiety, the anxiety is only coming from inside you.

Why hasn't he texted you? He's sleeping and he's a POS you don't need that controlling your energy. You can't control what he does. Reclaim your energy.

What am I thankful for this morning?

- nights rest, stretches, soft blankets, cool fan, and the fact that I have no hw due tonight! Think about that! ❤️

630am I should buy another candle for the bathroom for my showers lol don't know why the last one went so quick

7am tumblr can be a really nice positive space, it's like the only positive social media like that's kinda insane.

8am about to get ready for class, I can't stop thinking about him. I would like to try to not text him today just to see what happens really. I'm afraid he won't notice or not care and just not text me either. Maybe that's what I need. Whatever this is, is clearly not working. Got to leave early enough to get a coffee bc maybe that will distract me. Drink for lunch too, I'm tired of gorging myself and wasting money on food. Just breathe oh yeah I'm going to take a benadryl and maybe that will help with anxiety.

830am I want to text him so bad but I really shouldn't lol. He doesn't care enough to change. I won't say he doesn't care at all, but he doesn't care enough for me to keep doing this. I got an iced coffee and an egg McMuffin :)

11am Daydreaming about traveling over the break. I need to be realistic tho. I know I am able to take off on a flight somewhere but let's be real I probably won't have the time off and money to do something like that. I'll keep it in mind, but I don't want another Disney scenario where I just go completely broke on one adventure, I'd rather do day trips, maybe an overnight if that even sounds like a good idea. I like sleeping in my own bed unless it's for a really good reason tbh. I want to focus on things around here that I don't typically have availability or mental capacity to do. I know I'll have fun regardless. Maybe even do the plasma thing some afternoons or mornings really to fund the adventures I'll have on my true off days. Just thoughts :)

1130am I passed my HIV patient counseling! It says satisfactory in the gradebook! For some reason I can't see my rubric so I started to panic and doubt myself, but now I know I'm not the only one who can't see their rubric, so I'm sure that part is a fluke/ irrelevant :) just breathe and enjoy the passing grades ❤️ if something is wrong, someone will let you know ❤️

12pm lunchtime! I'm getting curry chicken. Journaling is actually helping a lot and made me realize how intrusive and repetitive my thoughts are when I don't write them down. It's like I need a little vent port for these thoughts to fly out of my brain like steam out of a boiling pot of water. Crazy tbh lol.

1pm Ate lunch outside with some friends and it felt great!!

3pm lol I zoned out during the whole Verbal Defense (not mine!) But then he texted me good afternoon so I sent him a picture of my sweet tea, nothing crazy. I won't let him control my evening. I just wonder what is his motive lol. During class I was looking up free and cheap things to do and it's funny how a little googling can come up with a thousand things to do! So much fun to be had in the world :)

4pm he got me looking at my phone for a text back bitch guess what I'm taking a nap just like I planned lmao I'm not waiting around to talk to you wtf. Call me like I asked you to if you wanna talk, I hate this texting shit and he knows that. What am I a high schooler? Texting bs got you into this mess in the first place dumbass. I'm eating a cupcake and taking a nap.

6pm I have woke up from my nap. No messages lol I guess he just wanted to see if I was alive?? Don't know don't care. Nap was ok, cats kept waking me up or micro waking me up I think but that's ok too :) - There's really only one week left of this bullshit I am so proud of myself ❤️ I actually love the idea of NOT burning myself out the last week so that when I leave school I don't necessarily NEED to do that hibernating thing where I feel like shit for 4-5 days afterwards. I'd like to exit my verbal defense maybe take a nap just like I did today to refresh and then shit take myself out for a nice dinner and get dressed up. Instead of getting drunk and passing out, I can do that most other nights after a closing shift 🤣 I want to start my vacay right away with no need to "recover" in such a drastic manner. Let's see if we can make that happen :) I think that also includes NOT avoiding fun things the next week, bc I always avoid fun stuff when I'm stressed as if I'm going to jinx myself, but I think I'm ready to break that curse of "all work and no play." We shall see ;)

9pm A little tipsy but I'm getting my work done :)

11pm I keep wanting to text him because I'm in a GOOD MOOD but when he doesn't reply it puts me in a bad mood....... So solution is simply DON'T TEXT HIM AND ENJOY YOUR GOOD MOOD QUEEN 😂 he's stupid for leaving and he's missing out on this drunken chill fest tbh and one day, I'll have a fuck ton of friends I've acquired through the years of being myself that I can randomly snap my thoughts to and they'll actually reply and care 😂

12am I know I texted him some dumb shit but idc I still feel good and I love journaling and Tumblr. Getting tacos again for dinner bc JFC I did a LOT of dumb shit work today. He's such a loser he can't do shit by himself not even get a taco 🤣 tbh one day I feel like you'll find someone who's gone through what you've gone through and you'll have so much in common and everything will just be EASY. Yeah I'm fucked but I'm not the only one going through this so I know I have an army of ppl out in the world who would have my back in a heartbeat and THAT'S what matters and what keeps me going fr.

1245am What a weird day. I want to keep journaling so bad I think it'll help me alottttt. I texted him a little but it's like it doesn't matter as much as it did previously lol. It's different now. Let's keep it up :)
