Note to Self

I keep losing the link to this video, which seems to be rather singularly uploaded (under the wrong artist’s name (Marco DeMark, not Marco Denmark), so I’m posting it here, because I love it.

Also, somewhat related; I discovered Hol Baumann’s [Human] album, which is absolutely amazing. There are several tracks that blow me away, but this is probably my favourite:

Sleep

The last few nights I’ve been getting good quality and quantity of sleep, and I currently feel amazing. This stands in start contrast to the way I’ve felt the last two weeks, which makes me believe I should just accept that I’m not one of those people that does well on prolonged periods of sub-optimal sleep. GIVE IT UP! Accept it and move on to a better future. :)

Caution

I’ve been a little cavalier with my alcohol intake this year, and I don’t like what it’s doing to me and I don’t like the implications of it. Previous years, the amount of times I got really drunk was no more than a handful, which was questionable by itself, but it seems to have really peaked this year.

It hasn’t escaped my attention that these moments of extreme excess usually coincide with periods where I’m not in a good emotional condition either, which is further cause for worry. I’d like to think I’m fairly reflective and that I can use these signs of bad behaviour to rectify what’s troubling me. I just need to hone my skills to do it before crossing the line. I’m nearly there.

One of Those Days

It’s one of those days where I’m hyper emotional. No matter how often they come and go, I never seem to get used to it. I miss my parents. I miss my friends. The urge to escape for a while comes in waves and usually doesn’t lead to “healthy” behaviour, so I keep it at bay for a few days until it passes.
