Catch Up

Hey friends,

Wow, it’s been while...but honestly it hasn’t really felt like it lol. It’s been almost 3 weeks since my last post, tbh I’ve been busy with work for one but I’ve also just been unmotivated and there hasn’t been much to talk about. Well actually I guess there has since it’s been so long, but a big part is just being unmotivated I guess and not really feeling it. Like these past 3 weeks of not putting out a post, tbh I didn’t really notice it. And I guess that’s both a good and a bad thing. But this is called catch up because I wanna catch y’all up on what I’ve been doing and what I’ve been learning. For the most part it’s just been work, work consumes so much of my time and I love and I hate that. I hate that I’ve been so busy that it’s hard to find time for family and friends and that I’ve had to drop a lot of responsibilities at church and stuff. I hate that I don’t have much time to myself or to do little things like go to the gym, play basketball or visit my old teacher. I love that I’ve become super disciplined in trying to sleep earlier in order to wake up for my early shifts. I love that I’ve been grinding and really working hard that my days off and free time feel well deserved. I’m super happy and thankful for this opportunity because I know that’s exactly what it is. I’ve been blessed with this opportunity and I’m glad that most of my coworkers are hella jokes and chill cuz if not it would make work terrible. One thing for sure is that seeing my coworker so often reminds me how important it is to have friends outside of work, to have a support system outside of work cuz as much as I love my coworkers, I have this one coworker where we’re both like yo we just need some time to ourselves and with our own friends LOL. Being at work has taught my how important it is to get along with people on a professional level, whether you like them or not. But also just in general how important it is to get along with people to make things smoother and better overall for both parties. Aside from work, my days off are spent either chilling and relaxing or going out with friends or family. I’m always conflicted with wanting to spend my days off sleeping or watching Netflix but I’m also like well I haven’t seen my family or friends in a while so maybe I should go out lol. Being at work had also reinforced to me how important it is to find enjoyment in your work. I would hate to wake up everyday dreading to go to work and repeating that same cycle every single day. I’m happy to be able to have good conversations with a lot of my coworkers about sports, music or even our personal lives lol. I’ve been thinking about the future of the blog as of late and just the future in general, what I wanna do with my life and all. December’s gonna be the 9 year anniversary of this blog...this year also marks an all time low number of posts on this blog. Like the number of posts per year has been dropping since like 2011, but the content and quality has always still been there. This year, I dunno whether y’all realize it or not but there’s only been 37 (well now 38) posts for this year so far. Like in my head I’m just like wow I’ve been hella slacks/hella busy/hella unmotivated or whatever it is...but all that just has me seriously wondering what I wanna do with this blog moving forward. But enough of that lol, that’s what’s been going on in my life and in my head as of late...hope to see you sooner rather than later, peace.
