Digital Journal Entry
Hello world!
Today I went to Hebden Bridge to tick something off my “pre-Japan” bucketlist. It’s just one of those places I constantly hear about, probably because I live nearby, and thought I may aswell just go since I had a spare day. It was alright! Just a very pretty British town with not much to really do and see besides some old buildings and trees. It was nice to get out of the city for a moment at least, but I can still safely say that at the age of 22 I’m still a city-dweller. I had a brief chat with my friend about that today, how most people get to a certain age and decide on moving to the countryside, and that might happen to me, but definitely not for a long time. I love the hustle and bustle of the city, and I love the convenience of everything being super close. That’s why I’m going to the biggest city on Earth!
I don’t have anything else to mention besides that. I have been rotting in bed a lot recently since I haven’t got work, and trying to play/finish some games. I finished Sleeping Dogs which was decently fun? It didn’t break away from the “GTA but in Hong Kong” descriptions but it was quite entertaining, so it’s alright. I have been spending loads of time on my Steam Deck at the minute though and it’s super fun to just sit in bed and play stuff, as apposed to sitting in bed doomscrolling. That’s honestly one of the main reasons I got a Deck, so it’s working!
Also I’m going to call the allergy clinic later and see if I can finally get something booked in, because I’m allergic to something but I have no idea what it is. Probably some type of mushroom, but luckily I don’t regularly eat mushrooms. It’s more of a precaution for moving away, because for the most part I’m very healthy and don’t have to worry about hospital visits, but moving to a new continent means I might explore with new foods and try something that could hurt me.
Finally, tomorrow I am going to karaoke with friends, and that will be a bit of fun. Another night out with people where I don’t drink! I’ve been really good with it so far, and I think it’s been three nights so far of being invited to a bar and not ending up with a drink. That’s pretty good of me, and hopefully I can keep it up tomorrow.
That is it though for now. Just rotting in bed, saving money, and occasionally going out with friends to drink loads of coke or water.
