My weekly progress #1

I want to record my weekly daily life updates as a way of reflection

I’ve been doing better. I slept through the proper hours last night, unlike the entire week that I spent on 2-4 hours of sleep everyday. I still have a lot of work, but I am feeling like I am getting back on track so the panic has slightly subsided. I told off a few people for the bullshit they were trying to pull on me. Pro tip: when scared of confrontation with a person, think what’s the worse they can do at the end. Literally, so what if you offend them, what will they do?? There will always be moments when you’ll hesitate speaking up for yourself in fear of making the situations worse. But what’s more important? Your self respect or that person’s ego? I ate well today, and have rested. No getting back to work and planning the upcoming week, satisfied with my progress in the last few days.

Song of the day!!

Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys. Yes I am quite slow in actually looking up renowned tracks and understanding why they are famous.

One person at a time

When discussing political and social issues with people, more than often I learn new cases, happenings, and facts about the topic. Then I also discover that the people stating these facts did not research properly and are speaking with information they got from hear-say. They proceed to make lengthy arguments and stating conclusions based on I can never understand what. That’s the part that pissed me off, especially when the person in question is an influential entity. People speak random rubbish without knowing what they are saying and the spread of misinformation like this makes people believe that so called opinion. That opinion becomes a (baseless) fact and everyone’s thinking is altered.

So guys, just think before you speak. One person at a time, one step at a time.

Song of the day!!

Solo by Myles Smith. I like the little Wordplay in the lyrics during the chorus a lot. This song expresses some raw feelings and hurt in the softest way.

How to crush your crushes?

Not the people, the feelings!!

Okay so pro tip for people out there. If you ever find someone new cute or interesting, either stalk their socials or talk to them. Most of the time when you see how they actually are in real life, your tiny crush will instantly be crushed. Half of the time because we will realise they are just normal people like us and do not have a glowing aura like we expected. And other half of the times they are either not our type, or genuinely shitty people. Find out about the people you like, it helps a lot in removing distractions.

Song of the day!!

Pretty Distraction by SkyDxddy. An amazing track on the struggles faced by women on daily basis, unfortunately. Well executed vocals and a music video portraying the song with the worth it deserves.

Same Difference? Nah

It’s strange. I have been with these people so less, yet the air feels lighter with them than those I spend almost all my days with. Both the groups’ causes interest me, and both the groups require tremendous hard work and dedication I don’t mind putting in. Everyone is busy everywhere, trying to compete with time to achieve our goal. Yet staying in one group feels like a task while staying in the other seems to be natural. Is this my mind prioritising my interests and creating an illusion here or it really is what it seems?

Song of the day!!

Let Me Down Easy (Lie) by Why Don’t We. Light, pop music to vibe with.

We just got to know you!

So is it just me or do you all also find people you like getting social validation for things that were in the past? Like some people just don’t get over their school or college days and brag about them any chance they get. They love it when people are intrigued about this apparently “peak” life of theirs and get offended when the same isn’t validated. I mean, chill out mate no one cares if nobody knew you 5 years ago even if you thought the opposite, there is no one to be mad at here, because we literally just got to know you!

Song of the day!!

Lonely Road by Naits. This one has slight R&B music that’s somehow electric and actual meaningful lyrics that you can sing because you really do feel them.

Pressuring, not crucial

They think they are collected but they are not

I find people who believe they are in control of themselves, but they are far from it. They think that the motivation they have to be constantly dedicated to something is because it gives them happiness. Nope, it’s the pressure. While the activity may be joyful, they take it in a stressful manner in an attempt to make the most out of it. Is it beneficial? Not much. The person may work to achieve something, but makes it so unpleasant for themselves as well as others around because they suddenly feel as if under uncontrollable pressure. They want to get past every obstacle at once, and want others to do the same too, forgetting that the ‘others’ here are different people with different lives. The person under pressure will be angered when others don’t that activity as much priority as them, leading to a series of negative emotions being generated and released. The person will think it’s because that activity is important and it does need urgent attention. But how can every activity be this crucial?

Song of the day!!

Therapy by Voilà. Another melodious track by the artist.
