Digital Journal Entry

Hello world!

Today I am writing this entry a bit early. I usually write them in the evening when I’ve done most of the things I was going to do. It means I can comment on them in the journal entry of course. But today I had a weird but important thought that I guess had to go in my journal, and I didn’t want to forget it.

I thought about lockdown 2020 and what I was doing during it. I thought about how I moved out of my dad’s house to move into a place on my own at the age of 16, which wasn’t a normal thing for a 16 year old to do. I did it because I was unsafe in that house, but I won’t go into vast detail. It made me think that I am a person who does things, and it’s quite a cool thought. I moved out of my dad’s house on my own. I moved to Manchester on my own. I travelled Thailand on my own. And I moved to London on my own. It’s quite liberating. I try to be a person that does what they say, which is a good character trait to have in some eyes.

Anyway, that was it. I feel proud that I do things.

Today I’m going to work, again, and continuing the grind. I also am trying to tell myself that it’s okay to just lounge around the flat and do nothing all day when I’m not working. I get so stuck in my own head that I need to get out and be productive, which just isn’t healthy. I should be allowed a day every now and again to just chill and recharge. It also saves money so that’s a big bonus.

Thanks for reading this short thing. I hope life is funky and chill.
