Apr 15, 2024

Mon

Today was absolutely horrible. I don't know why, but I couldn't sleep since last Sunday and I couldn't really sleep, even though I've tried. I got that weird acid feeling while trying to sleep, so instead of sleeping, I went outside to buy a breakfast meal that won't trigger my acid reflux. I went outside to get some wheat bread, non-fat yoghurt, and spread. I basically had those as my only things to eat for the entire day.

Work began and I had a pretty light workload today. Things were supposedly doing okay. In my break, I had time to play Left 4 Dead 2 with a friend and we had a difficult time trying to kill the zombies in the carnival stage. It was pretty weird since I wasn't playing L4D with Rachel nor Exavier and no one is spilling tea while the game was going on. Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my "therapy games" where I just turn off my brain and rant, talk about random things to my friends. But this time, things were fairly focused on the game. I guess my lack of sleep hampered my skills because we died twice and ended the game there.

By the afternoon, I got off work and something bad happened out of nowhere. It was only for a bit and then I just slept to get back the sleep I had lost.

Even though there were some bad things that happened today, I tried my best to handle it and I can say that I did well, despite the overwhelming pressure from not being able to sleep.

A Dream Come True

I'm mildly surprised at how I realized that I had one of my dreams in high school come true. I'm really tipsy, but I can still write (with okay-enough punctuation and grammar) so, while my thoughts are pretty "unrestrained," I guess I'll

Slapped by an Epiphany

This is a pretty weird time in my life. 2022 feels like a year where I've experienced so much growth in the span of, oh say, 5 months, compared to the past 3 years. It feels weird because the person I was in December, 5 months ago, was

ENFP-A:

Extraverted
|

ENFPs are often known as campaigners, people who are into big ideas and actions that reflect their hope and goodwill. In the past, I've developed a lot of projects that involve a lot of concepts that I consider as innovative.

Out of all the traits I have, my predominant one is extraversion. I'm pretty much an extrovert who's into many friend groups, from old friends since grade school until now with my present coworkers.
