Sometimes, I just want to go outside after work.
I’ve been staying in way too much after work for the past few years, and nowadays I feel cabin fever more often. I want to go out more often to get rid of cabin fever, and because there are more things to life than just work. Locally, there are so many cafes to explore, and so many tourist spots to visit and revisit.
(Intramuros comes to mind as I type this. Maybe I should go back there soon.)
Sometimes, I still have a hard time falling asleep.
Bedtime is one of the moments when I overthink more than usual, and I had to double the effort in relaxing my nerves instead of thinking too much. My brain gives me the most vivid (and sometimes craziest) dreams, so at least it should take a break before I fall asleep.
Sometimes, I wish I didn’t get discouraged easily.
For example, I remember getting badmouthed for drawing more than studying when I was younger. While I understand that studying is very important, I ended up abandoning one of my true passions because I get discouraged easily. If I had continued to draw despite the disapproval, maybe I would’ve gotten an earlier start to become better at illustration. My flat art style is cool, but I wish I could’ve learned other styles earlier in my life.
