Retrospective
Privacy

Before I started writing daily, I was a much more private person. In many ways, I still am. There are things that are off limits. I would never consider writing about them or sharing them on a public platform.Β 

When I saw Brene Brown's TED talk about vulnerability, I wondered...

Social Media

I find myself on social media even when I don't realize it. I am very aware that it is addictive and not good for mental health. I have done my best to avoid social media as much as I can.Β 

However, it seems like everything is marching towards that format....

Here to stay

I just saw this news report from Israel. They seem to be actively making their citizens take a booster shot. Even that will not be enough beyond 6 months.Β 

The report itself seemed very scary. The vaccine isn't a guarantee anymore. And to have this type of a mutation in...

Retrospective
Oct 3rd

About 2-3 weeks ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do by a certain date. It was a very detailed list. I made sure that I incorporated a lot of things I want to work on.Β

Strategy

I belong to the hard working people category. Not very strategic ones.Β 
I have come to appreciate that there is some benefit to hard work. But as I get older, I need to learn how to be strategic. Time being the most expensive asset we can have, hard working takes...

Filler post

I am having panic attacks about forgetting to write a post and messing up my streak.Β 

This is a filler post.Β 
I am still editing. I think I finally have a working title figured out for the Medium writing competition. For the image, I whipped something up with Canva myself....

Tired

Β Between yesterday and today, I spent a majority of my time writing, rewriting, editing and re-editing.Β 

Trying to wrap up my story for the Medium challenge that is due by Tuesday. When I wrote the first draft, the word count was close to 2000. So many crazy things happened in...

I am in trouble

I feel a certain type of anxiety as I type this. I made the fatal error of opening Medium.com. I was welcomed by a post recommendation that just grabbed my attention.

The title, the image, the content - EVERYTHING was a different tier.Β 
I immediately got deflated. How am I...
