An Update On Life

Hey friends, it’s been a long while, 3 weeks to be exact. Sitting down and typing these words right now, it just feels weird lol, I definitely didn’t plan to be away this long but it was one of those things where one week became two and by the second week I had thought about putting out a post but was like you know what let’s just take another week off and just clear my head and hit y’all with an update post when I collect all my thoughts. I’ll say this, yeah I was gone for 3 weeks but y’all were running up the views on the blog lol so thank you for that. If you know me, you’ll know I’ve been in the process of moving which is why I’ve just been so busy as of late. We sold out house like a year and a half or two years ago and my mom was taking her time looking for houses then covid hit so we were just chilling for a while. Then a good deal came along and my mom jumped on it and before I knew it I had like a couple of months to pack up my entire life and move from my childhood home. I literaly grew up in that house, we were in that house for over 10 years. I think it’s where the blog got started, so many memories just hit me all at once as I was packing and as the moving day got closer and closer. I don’t wanna bore you with all the memories lol but it was nice to just look back at all the fun times spent in that house. So yeah moving took up most If not all my time, especially since I’m a procrastinator so that last week was real hectic lol and the day before moving I hardly slept just trying to finish everything since we had movers coming the next day. Now that I’ve moved in and it’s been like a week and a half, I’m slowly settling in but I def underestimated how annoying and what a process unpacking is lol I guess part of me just thought as soon as I moved it’d be done and over but I thought wrong. The first few days definitely felt weird, like I was sleeping in someone else’s house but it’s gotten better. There’s still things that are harder to get over moving from a big house to a condo like just the amount of overall space and how you can’t really go to another floor if you want space or some quiet time. I def also miss my old neighbourhood but I found some pretty cool parks and residential areas near my place to walk and it’s pretty peaceful, reminds me of my old neighbourhood. Now that I’m done moving though it kinda feels like I’m back to reality, back to trying to serach for jobs, back to working out, back to trying to hang with friends. The funny thing about motivation tho is that it’s hard to find it sometimes you know…like looking for jobs or writing a blog it’s hard to just like pull motivation out of nowhere and just start doing it. It’s crazy to think we’re like halfway into the year and we’re finally starting to see daylight from this pandemic, like things actually look like they’re progressing and we’re be back to ‘normal life’ soon. It’s funny I did a curbside delivery at work and this customer was like you guys aren’t open and I’m like nah sorry, and she’s like. I thought everything was opena dnI’m like not yet and she goes “so life isn’t back to normal?’ LOOOOOL I laughed and I was like nah sorry miss lol. I hope you guys have been practising self care and also checking in on the mental health of the people around you. I hope you’re taking care of yourself whether that means going out and treating yourself to some good fod, going for a walk, seeing friends, whatever it may be. I’ve found a lot of peace through working out a lot lately with a friend and just having dope conversations with him about anything and everything. It made me thankful and also realize the importance of having different outlets and groups of friends to be able to talk to about different things. I have friends I can obviously talk to about anything, I have friends who I sent memes and funny videos too, friends you just talk about guy stuff with, friends you talk about girls with. Like I’m super thankful because it/s always different dynamics and I think you need those different outlets. Whatever you’re into you need people to satisfy like the different interests you have. I’m somebody that loves rap music but I also love r&b and even Korean music, I love movies and shows but I also love anime and wrestling, what I’m trying to say is like you need different people in your life to be able to talk to about all those different things that you are into. And I’m super thankful to have found friends that dig multiple things that I’m interested in cuz conversations never get stale or boring. You’ll be sending memes one minute then talking about anime the next, it’s refreshing lol. I’m sorry I’ve been gone, I tend to do that a lot clearly, half of it is not really sure what to write about despite the numerous saved posts in my phone, half of it and a bigger half I’d say is just lacking motivation. It’s hard to just sit and start writing about something deep or personal lol. It’s kinda like essay writing, I can’t just sit and write especially knowing it’s not due for like weeks, but then when that last week comes, I’m like alright I have a deadline so I’ll allocate time everyday to work on it or kill it in like the lat k2 days lol that’s just how I work. With blogging I guess it’s kinda the same thing, it’s just a feeling and if I’m not in the mood it’s hard to force it you know. I hope you’re doing well, I hope you’re taking care of yourselves physically as well as mentally and I def can’t wait to catch y’all up with the things I’ve been learning and talking about these past 3 weeks, stay tuned and I’ll see you son, peace.
