"text": "hmmm today has been both up and down. i didnt go to my computer graphics lab which i really should've gone to because i know basically nothing about the course and it's already week 3 but oh well, and then because of that i got a bit depresso but then i felt a little better and jonathan came around and we played some music and then i went to dagar's place to see nikhil and dullah and daisy. we smoked a bit and watched some netflix and argued about why fascism is bad (even though nikhil for some reason defends fascists and their violent opinions???) but on the way back i met this awesome chill uber driver (i forgot his name but it was like nidum?) and he was so happy and joyful and from bhutan and even though our drive was short i really enjoyed talking to him, he seemed like a lovely person. over the course of the day i also played around a bit with tidalcycles and tried to get parrot working but couldnt so setup gnome on a base nixOS install which i'm excited about switching to. shouldn't be too hard, and hopefully i'll be able to set up a permanent rice. looking forward to using gnome and paperWM though I'm curious to see how it does in 2 screen mode. might just have to switch back to BSPWM or i3 or some shit if it doesn't work out to my liking on desktop but i'm not worried about that :) ",

"text": "Today went by rather quickly. I almost don't remember it. Between playing with my phone and doing some work stuff, I don't really recall a whole lot happening. That's something I'm not happy with. Being mindful is something I appreciate and even though I tend to be aloof and dreamy, I would like to stay cognizant of where I'm spending my time. Not to the degree that I must track every hour, or every project, but simply to know what I did during the day. During my reflection today I found it hard to even think of where the day went. I suppose this is part of growing up, you find a routine and it just fades into the background. You begin to move through the motions so effortlessly they no longer become worth remembering. In some light, this is a good thing. If the habits I've cultivated are leading me to a future I desire, having it be effortless is the best thing I could do. However effortless and mindful need not be mutually exclusive. It also makes me yearn for something more, exciting? I guess I should leave the grand visions of life for fiction, hah.\n",

"text": "I had a lovely dream last night. There was this blue crystal cube-ish structure in the middle of the ocean with paths around the side leading to the top, in fact the whole dream had a blue-ish tint like when it's foggy or cold out at night -- It was pitch black asides from the blue light. At the very top laying down on her back was Tanushree. She looked jaw droppingly beautiful. She was wearing the same dress that she was when Yayu went to visit her, it's this blue dress which she looked amazing in, but also had sparkles surrounding her, and this mesh blue blanket. I believe she also had wings but that might not have been the case. In any case she looked truly stunning. She either seemed to be singing or was telling me something but I couldn't hear her. I also vaguely remember it either being a music video (there was other staff there and microphones and a camera) or a vision within my dream, like I was dreaming in my dream or was being told something important. I couldn't hear what she was saying or singing, so I went out to find her and the structure.\n\nAfter some wandering I found the structure but after looking for Tanu I couldn't find her. Instead there was this man trying to tell me about how the structure was built and about some code or something and how to recreate it but I wasn't paying that much attention because I was looking for Tanu. When I couldn't find her I was sad, and jumped into the cold blackness of the water and then woke up. I can't seem to get the picture of her lying there, just gorgeous, trying to tell me something I desperately want to hear. I wonder what my dreams are trying to tell me. Actually, I have a vague idea, but I'm not particularly happy about it...",

"text": "I've also been thinking about how Pearl and I got romantically engaged again, and I think it all started that night on MD when I told her I thought it'd be fun if she stayed with me for a while. Knowing what I do now it's pretty obvious that she would try and push that angle if I basically told her I liked her and thought about her a lot. She then moved on to telling me how she's sexually charged because of birth control, which is also pretty suss and defs changed our relationship towards being more sexual, if not romantic. Now she seems much less sexually charged and I wonder if she's still on birth control or ever was. It's not a very nice thing to assume, but her telling me that she's loved me for a long time does make these things a bit questionable, and I do feel like I've been manipulated a bit, but that's okay. I still like her a lot and miss her tons and wish she was here despite all those things.\n\nWhat's even weirder is that even in spite of all those things the thought of Parul kissing someone else or having sex with someone else or even being romantically involved with someone else makes me uncomfortable. I don't usually feel this way and didnt feel this way about Yayu, Charly or Tanu when I was interested in them. I can only describe this feeling as jealousy and its not something I like or am used to. I wonder if it's because being with her takes me back to when we were in school together and I did believe I was monogamous rather than leaning poly. I mean a lot of our relationship does seem rooted in that time so it would make sense. Writing this out felt rather cathartic. I hope I'll get over it since we can't actually be together. I imagine I will.\n\nOn a another note, actually about my day today, Tanvir and Aathira came over today and we jammed out a bit and I had a good time. Hanging out with them is lots of fun. I like them as a couple. After that I did some work until I went to the gym with Aaron. I spent more time than I anticipated because first I went to his place, then we went to the city to get dinner at Happy's (Aaron found a piece of plastic in his food there, yuck! also originally we were gonna eat at Red Chili, but it was too expensive so we went to Happy's instead. After we ate we both decided that it wouldve been a better decision to have stayed despite the higher cost but also because it wouldve been closer to the gym. We did get the rice free because of the bit of plastic though) and then it was raining so we were just waiting for the rain to pass because it was really cold. And then after that we finally ended up at my place and did an Aerobics session. It was funny because we did a Bipasha Basu session and he didn't know who she was. Eventually he left but then I dicked around on my phone instead of getting more work done, but that's fine. Some progress is better than no progress and the constant pressure of finishing my assignments is beginning to burn me out. I can't even imagine what it'll be like the 3 or 4 weeks I have to work full time. I can do it though. I will grow and become stronger. That's what moving forward means. ",

I don't know how to break the news to Anshul, but I'm going to have to figure it out. I hope I can find something a bit more private, and where I can spend time by myself because being in this environment and not being able to do that is driving me crazy. basic hygiene would also be nice, but at this point i think i'll settle for less. which makes it hard because I don't think there's anything Anshul can do or say that would make this easier for me, let alone easier, possible. but that's one thing to get through.\n\nin part because i've been in this environment, going to uni has stopped altogether and that bothers me a lot. i don't tend to sleep before 4am on most nights which is really bad. i dont know how to fix any of that asides from leaving this place so i think it's what im going to do.

"text": "i've had the place to myself basically since work ended today, but i learnt a lot i would say. especially since i spent basically all of that time with my friends. i learnt that niko is actually a trustorthy pesron (especially because chtl trusts him, i trust him) and even though he's resistant to change at first, theres a good reason for that and that his intuition is good. i want to become better friends with him. i'm reminded of the last time when we really had a DnM, and he told e about how he didn't really accept me at the start and was apprehensive, but that it was a coming from a place of watchfulness and that you cant accept everybody into our group. and at the time i kinda just shrugged it off, but now i respect that a lot more.\n\ni also learned that even though me and debs have chemistry, nothing can happen between us. she mentioned how it was weird introducing her current boyfriend to the group because elliot still such a big part of it and that was all the hint i really needed to understand that nothing could happen between us. i was so close to telling her that it ould be really awkward if she dated anyone from within the group, but im so glad i didn't say that because from her own statement it was just implied that she would not date anyone from within the group. i mean i always figured that, but hearing her say it really solidified it for me to the point that i now can be better friends with her, since previously i had this aura of should I shouldn't i, i do like her but what to do, and now i know that it will never happen and makes it easier to not fret about it and just become good friends with her. i think it's a good thing, because i really like being friends with debs and me liking her was getting in the way of our friendship in very obvious ways, and now and especially tonight, i didn't worry about that at all and was able to connect with her much better in a way that was cleary just friendly. i hope tocontinue with that, and when it comes time ro me to date agin i will fiend someoen out side our friend group. i'm actually really happy about that because normally when i becoe atrracted to a person it's really hard for me to navigate and they cnsume my life, so i'm glad i was able to nip this in the bud, before it spiraled out of control.

"text": "i've had the worst fucking luck these past two days and it's turned my life into chaos so quickly. so on Friday I lost my battery charger case for my earphones (again!!) wwhich was super frustrating because i swear they were in my pocket right before I opened the door to our building. then on saturday my phone just up and died and is still dead, and that was probably the worst part. I'm still tryna think about what data was on there that is now probably gone forever and the one that sticks out the most is the habits data which oh my fucking god how do I still not have a backup system in place???? so that sucks hardcore. i hope i can at least fix my phone if not with the data. the dumbest part is that during work I did get it to turn on for a little bit before it died again, *and still didn't take a fucking backup*. god im a retard sometimes. the other annoying things that happened included not knowing how to turn on the oven, the course i wanted to get into being full, and sleeping nowhere near enough these past couple of days. i kinda wish i had at least one or two days to just relax after coming back from Perth because my room is a mess and I would like a couple of days to get everything in order but it seems like it'll just be go-go go. i dont even know if a couple days would help because with a roommate like Anshul around some scene is always going on and I enjoy taking part. \n\nI was somehow remembering Vanessa today, and how I've totally come around to most of her way of thinking on lots of things. I wonder if that would make us more compatible? at least right now I think so, but that might just be because im lonely. i want somebody to love and hold and kiss. ugh im such a romantic lmao. i want to say that there's more that made me dislike her than just her (at the time) radical politics, but i cant really come up with much. i wonder if that makes me kinda problematic. i wonder what she's up to now. she was sweet. or at least this revisionist history version of me thinks so.",

"text": "i actually had a great day today. again, i think its residual from yesterday's work out session but today really was good. It was going alright during work, I got my website working and mostly just sat around the rest of the tine feeling p good that i got my website working. Then I came home and met Cammy and Aaron at Bentspoke and we had a great time there too. Really fun conversation and booze is always a good time. Then we came back to my place and played some melee and continued having a good time. What a lovely day. To top it all off I got my ergodox and boy is it soooo cool. I'm really enjoying it already and I only got to mess around with it for a half hour. I'm super keen for fixing it up and configuring it tomorrow. But even from the short time I spent with it, it was super fun. Wow I'm really glad. I havent had such a great day in a while. It's been lovely :) \n\nToday again I was really feeling the energy and didn't want to be depressed anymore and decided I didn't want to be. Let's see how long that lasts. ",

"text": "Today was my first day at work again! \nI got hired by a small company called ThreatDefence.com as a developer to fix odds and ends and develop little security toys to sell to business. Zlatko the owner says there's nothing threatDefecne shouldn't be able to detect or stop and so feel free to build anything that you think will help. I'm really happy with the amount of autonomy I have but also all the help I recieve. The main guy I report to (Nick) seems pretty cool as well so thats kinda awesome. \nIt feels good to have a reason to complete challenging tasks, because even though I knew about some of the technologies we're using, having a reason to see things through to completion is good. Lord knows how much I lose motivation doing my own projects. and yet in some way, a part of me yearns to be free and lazy once again. I don't particularly enjoy the time when I was looking for a job intensely, but the other times when I was just doing nothing but my own stuff had been really fun and I look back on it in fondness. In some sense I do wish I \"got more done\" but I know thats not a good way to think. Perhaps once I build up more skills and get more used to working for long streches on time with things that actually stimulate and bring me joy I will be better equipped to handle \"managing my own time better\" or just using iit more effectively. \n\nIn other news I went to the first Melee tournament hosted in Brisbane for a long time, and the first one I've been to in years. I came 4th! I had a lot of fun! Though I did have a fairly lucky bracket run, I came so close to beating Auro I wish I had. And while it's nice to fantasize about that, I can't focus on it too much otherwise its bad for me. Seeing Gareth, Niko, Sam and Gerd was nice though. It feels like I'm truly a brisbanite now, even though I got lost in the city on my way back. Plus since I get to work remote I probably won't have to move to Sydney any time soon. \n\nIt's been a really great day, and almost like the journey I had been on is now entering it's end. Now that I've dyed my hair, got a job, moved to brisbane, everything really has fallen into place. It's good to look back on where I started and how much I've changed, even if it isn't exactly growth in the strictest sense, I am proud of all the steps I've taken and the person I'm becoming. It's crazy how much landing a job changes my sense of self worth. I guess I just wasn't getting that from my own projects no matter how much I tried. I geuss the capitalist mindset is still deeply rooted inside me? because I wasn't particualrly worried about money for the time I was unemployed, and yet I felt less fulfilled. Something to think about. ",

I don't really remember it but i remember being stoned and feeling awkward. \n\ni think i want to switch my entries to scuttlebutt (like i want to switch a lot of things to scuttlebutt in the long term, but my journal is one that would be very easy to swap. having it fragmented across devices would not be fun though. i guess ill just keep this for now. im also testing (log)[https://github.com/joshavanier/log] by Josh which is kinda cool.

"text": "during meditiation today i was reflecting on the dumb shit i said at gareths place during his couch quest. something along the lines of 'this seems like a bottom tier game out of all the couch quested games so far\" but i think it was interpreted as \"this is a bottom tier couch quest\" and that makes me cringe, as thats not what i was trying to communicate. Though I believe it got hashed out and nobody paid much attention to drunk anish says dumb shit, it's still something i feel sorta bad about. \n\nthe other thing that came up, was i noticed that chtl doesn't give me a hug anymore when we meet, and she was the first one to give me a hug when i first stepped into my new apartment. obviously, this is because i kinda fucked up during the whole hair thing by not inviting her, and how that changes our relationship. i do want to get back to that point, but i dont know how to get there as of yet. i think it will come from small things adding up over time, rather than a big gesture. just knowing that i was thinking about her and care about her. this is something i want to do with greta as well, and at least there i know how (i want to buy her a candle as a gift, to start, just as a way to say thank you). this is something that Riri talks about as well. how it's the little things (though she always coats it as 'not asking too much' -- though so did greta), and it's something i need to pracitce to get better at. paying attention to the little things has never been my strong suit. (i noticied that Tash and Casey both always give me -- and it seems only me -- big hugs when we meet. i think it's because i took the time when we first met to actually get to know them, and that im generally pretty good at interacting with girls and making them feel included in our big group. thats a great example of a little thing that makes a big difference, and the more of these little thuoghtful things i can accumulate, especially for longer term consistent behaviour, the better i think i'll be at developing relationships)\n\nanother thing i have noticied is that my endless positivity seems to have changed. i'm no longer the hype man for all occasions endlessly cheering on my friends who do cool things. i wonder what caused this. a big one would be just having to work, and that changing my energy levels. but ofc i have worked before full time and i dont remember feeling that way then (though this is certainly possible). the other ones that come to mind are moving in with jxN and seeing my friends consistently now instead of just online for the most part. i think a combination of these two certainly plays some role, but moreover it may just be another transitionary period where i'm not as excitable and invigorated by friends progress. this is another avenue for growth to previous normal, just as above. i love sharing the love and giving my friends validation for doing awesome shit. it does make me sad that i haven't been doing that as much. \n",

I can sense myself falling apart again. im sleeping a shit load, I'm barely eating and not spending my time well, but also since I'm sleeping so much i hardly have any time and this is not a good combination. all the people i used to talk to on a daily basis doesn't really happen anymore our relationship changed and i think I'm largely too blame for all of them and that also makes me nervous. like i dont even understand who i am and how i relate to myself much less the world.

I'd say I'm able to do about half of them now, maybe still a little less. next week i want to do at least one black one. I think being able to do the purples boosted my confidence which in turn helped with my depression. \nBecause of this my mood has been excellent and my productivity levels somewhat high.

I'm charging $35 an hour and building a WordPress site for a colleague, whose name is Kenedy. I've also restructured taskwarrior to be more appropriate and less long and moved things to the other tiddlywiki file, proj. as a sort of reference to where i am with my things. This has helped and im excited to work on my first real project. If I make more than $300 from it I'll be quite happy. \nin more fun news im now looking into buying a dev machine. originally i wanted a switch, but i thought about it some more and I dont want one yet. i dont really have time to game much anyway, and after watching dunkeys video I kinda caught the metroid bug (especially since I wanted to play hollow knight more than anything) so now I'm playing through metroid zero mission on my psp and after that I'll probs play symphony of the night. \n\ni feel satisfied with myself and I want to keep going. i believe in myself and want to work hard and keep trying my best because that's all i can do.",

"text": "Today has been a pretty good day overall. in the morning I didn't really know if I should go to Bsides, but i did end up going. and at first I felt lonely and out of place (perhaps in part because I was speaking to yayu and tanu who were visiting each other and having a ball), but I'm glad I went in the end. I got to see some cool talks, and build the badge which was pretty fun. then I did some lock picking which was awesome to finally try out! When I got on the bus home it was raining a lot and then it got really cold. After I came home I played minecraft with the boys. That was fun but we kept restarting because we did dumb meme-y shit. eventually we finally settled on a world, and we had been playing for a good hour just building stuff, during which we realised it wasn't hardcore. and then after a while longer russy pointed out it wasn't on hard either and we all collectively lost our shit and rage quit for jxN wasting our time.\nAfter that me, jxN, russy and callum played Splendour and we had the most fucked game ever. Russy got to 10 points pretty quickly and had a 5 point card reserved for which he only needed 1 blue gem to buy. The rest of us all teamed up against him to hoard all the remaining blues and golds so that he couldn't get one. We cucked him soo hard. Eventually he decided to top deck a card and got a cheap blue he could purchase, and at that point we knew there was no point in cucking him. However since he had his turn after me I had to keep cucking him for the golds. This led to me not only catching up in points, but also being able to sneak out the victory the turn before russy got his by buying a 5 point card from the board with 4 golds. It was so crazy. I'm really glad i got to be there and also be the winner. ",

I've been watching Will Schroder's videos and my god, I'm already in love with him. Just the things he says and the way he articulates them and all the effort he puts into things it's amazing and inspiring and is the reason I chose to give up being a lazy person and actually try. I think a new conclusion I've accepted is that thoughts are for doing. Will also goes over this briefly or tangentially (ironic that I can't remember -- I did just remember, it was his Bojack video in which he talks about how it isn't enough to just think about being a good person, or wanting to be forgiven, but taking actions to become a better person.) and this is something ive been struggling with for quite some time. But I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. Thinking is for doing. And to put care and effort into the things I create and be more patient and give it my all. Focus!",

It's been over 4 years. I wonder what she's like now. I wonder if we'll still get along. I'm really glad I booked a flight to Korea yesterday, I''m excited to see what it's like. To get lost in the city. Chan will also be there which is dope, I'll always have someone to show me around. What a lucky coincidence that he had to go home too because of the HK protests. Worked out in my favour for sure. I wonder what I'll get up to in Korea. It'll be a fun trip :)\n\nI really wish I got my fx tec pro 1, I think it would make writing things down a lot easier. I did however get my onyx note pro, which is also v fun to use, though I still have to incorporate it fully into my workflow, I decided to bring it along to see how it goes. Reading mags on it will be good too, I didn't have a good way to read digital magazines, and now I do so that's good. \n\nI'm really nervous about getting the Sydney job, I really hope I do, and even though it's only been a day and they haven't got back to me I'm getting worried about that.

"text": "uff where to begin. perhaps best to start with the fact that im drunk. its been a really great night, started off with a zoom call with slack and that totally changed my mood around (was feeling really low before then) and then got really drunk with cammy and we had great chats. its been a good night. \n\nbut what i really been meaning to write about transpired last night. Soumya, who i'd been texting everyday for about two weeks now, shut me down again. i guess i shouldve seen it coming tbh, she'd said so in the past. but i guess im a creature of habit just like everyone else. i had this image in my head about how im a bull in a trough with nowhere to go but forward and she's holding a shield and whip and telling me to back off, but i have nowhere to go but forwards. i was a little upset about it, but im glad she told me the truth instead of leading me on, even though she'd said as much in the past. i feel i may have to learn this lesson again anyway. \n\nand then i thought about how she reminds me so much of parul and how basically the same thing happened with her too. that made we even more sad. i think im still a little bitter about that to be honest. i thought i was over it, but the same feelings keep coming back up and i dont know how to deal with them. i was thinking about how even when we were in school she did something similar with guhan and me, except this time im on the recieving end. that made me feel a little better, being able to identify the pattern. but i still feel bad about it. *sigh* i dont know what to do. i want to wish for nothing but her happiness but i dont know how to be that person yet. theres still a selfish part of me that wishes we couldve been together. i mean not really, writing that out didn't feel totally honest. but theres something there, something i dont quite understand still. i suppose to some degree it'll always be like that with her. lately ive been thinking a lot again about how we never had sex. i think thats certainly part of it, for better or worse. maybe i wouldn't be so hung up then, i dont know. that does feel gross to say though. ughhh. just sorta stuck in my ways, i guess. i think whenever i feel lonely i turn to her. she's always been there for me. and thats obviously not great. since it reminds me how she can't really be there for me, or at least not in the way that i want. its almost as though i dont know how to move on, and instead i fill the void with whatever i can while i can, but i know it's still there. i think another part of it is still being jealous of akshat. i dont know what it is with her, but she's one of the few people i think i'll always feel possessive about. even writing his name here rubs me the wrong way. argh.\ni hope one day i find a way. to be the person i know i can be for her, because she matters to me a lot and i want to be in her life even if we cant be together. \n\nthere was a meme i saw on spiritual science channel on telegram that reminded me of this, even though i was thinking about it just yesterday. \"this is a time for healing deep emotional trauma. situations you thought you cleared are coming up again for more awareness. healing is done in layers. you have to continue to spiral through the same emotional experiences until there is no energetic charge left to trigger you.\" i think thats especially true of this situation. i kept thinking that i was past this parul stuff but im still not. it keeps coming back up. before i tried to convince myself that if ever the opportunity arose that me and parul could be together again that i would turn her down, because of the emotional damage she did back, what 2 years now (god that feels dumb to say). but the truth is i never really processesed it. not entierly anyway. and thats what this is about i guess. how Soumya reminded me of that, because when she was around it was easy to forget about Parul, but now that she's not I turn to the same pain i haven't dealt with. one day. :)\n\ni think theres more to it too. but maybe im just projecting that. what i have noticed at least, is that the boundaries are different. she'll only text me every other day. as though she's trying to get me to not rely on her so much. but i dont know how much of that is real and how much is my own delusion. so i dont think its productive to think about. \n\n",

I was in some sort of apartment late at night, and standing on the balcony I thought I saw Vishal and Tarun running around downstairs. I was high up so I couldnt quite discern, but I thought it was strange because I wasn't in India. A bit later they showed up at my place and I was over the moon, and we started drinking. Moments later Vishal threw up all over the balcony, the idiot lol. He wass trying to vacuum it up, and I gave him a mop instead. and then my friends just kept showing up! basically all my friends eventually showed up and i was so blown away that they all came to see me I didnt know how to react, it was beautiful. the last people to come were Sarayu, Kishan and Mum and Pa. When Sarayu came we danced together and I grabbed her hips, and then i got a bit of a boner and was worried, but she didnt seem to mind. and then we kept partying. it was lovely. in between i woke up and was sleep paralyzed and saw Papa standing in the door into the balcony, so I thought I was actually there. It was really magical. \n\nMy next dream was a horny dream involving Sarayu that I feel a lil guilty about, and worried that she will become the girl of my interest again.

"text": "I've been down in a bit of a rut again the past couple of days but that's not what I'm here to talk about. \nWhat I'm here to talk about is how to break down my walls. Watching Queer eye has really inspired me to firmly understand myself and everything that entails. I have a lot of things going through my mind, and I want to talk openly and honestly with my counsellor so I can make real improvements. I get that I can be a sad fuck sometimes, and that I'm lonely a lot but my problems go beyond that. My relationship with my parents, my lack of a support network, my idealogicial purism. My porn habits. My drug habits. These are just a few of the things that I need to actually face and come to terms with or tame in some manner to become the person I want to be. That's something I've been thinking a lot lately. Is that I'm not the person I think I am. And I want to be that person. I really, really do. I want to thrive and become a good human being (this is actually hard for me to write because saying out loud or putting it in words scares me), whatever that may entail. I still don't know entirely the kind of person I want to grow up to be, and if I don't ever figure it out I'll never actually grow up. And I think I do have to grow up. I can't continue to always be a child despite how nice it may be. I can still be a child sometimes, and engage in playful childish behaviour on occasion but I also have to be an adult, I have to learn to be a more than just a productive or functional human being, but one that flourishes on my own terms. \n\nAnother thing Queer Eye taught me that is related that I'm still figuring out is bringing my worlds together. A lot of the people they help lead very seperate lives between all their different social groups. I'm exactly the same, and though I do believe that to some degree I will continue being slightly different in different circumstances, I would like to make worlds collide and generally be a more \"solid\" person for lack of a better word. \n\nAnd finally QE also taught me a lot about how to love myself. I hope to be able to apply the things they show and teach all those other people about how to care and love yourself and put your best self forward and that kinda stuff because I am lost and I could use some guidance.

"text": "Another week goes by.\nOn Saturday we (Me, Aaron, Cammy and Keith) went to jj's place to hang out. It was an enjoyable night, though jj seemed kinda sad. I didn't get v drunk and had a nice time. \n\nMost of today I spent watching BoJack. The new season has been phenomenonal so far. I'm loving it. next week is going to be particularly hectic since I haven't really prepared as I should have over the break. I have deliverables in every one of my courses due. Inspite of this I'm continuing on and trying not to stress too much. \n\nHowever I think the spark I was talking about from last time is wearing off. I'm beginning to realise that talking to Parul and Tanu makes me quite sad/frustrated, so i havent been messaging them as much. This makes me feel lonely though, but I'm combating that too through other ways. I'm thinking of joining Tinder and hooking up with some random to see if i can, plus sex would be great. \n\nI feel a little adrift rn. But I believe in myself. I have the confidence to do the things i set out to. ",

In hindsight I should've gone to the gym while waiting which was the original plan, but I didn't commit to it fast enough and then Jeremy also woke up so I just sat aronud waiting instead. \n\nI'm really glad I got to hang out with jeremy. He fed me tons of vape, and I had a few beers and just had a swell time. We played halo co-op which was so nostalgic to go back through, but we did get owned quite a bit too since we were playing legendary. I did notice that his more conservative side rubbed me the wrong way more than usual, but I think that's okay, probably because we haven't spent much time together of late. ",

"text": "today i woke up firmly sure that i wished to break up with riya. i shall list the reasons at a later date, but this morning these feelings were caused by my dream. i dreamt about Ambika, from school back in 2nd grade. and we reconnected (somewhere in america?) and really were getting along well, and started dating. i remember she was like a showgirl or something and i was so surprised by that, but it ultimately didnt matter. and we had a lot of fun, and i cared about her. and i guess thats why i woke up this morning wanting to break up with riya. it didnt help that she was there on the phone and i really care about waking up by myself and then we got into a fight (we're still fighting now)\n\nthen theres also the matter of debs. i have noticied a corner of my mind that is afraid of her now. i think it's because she's single again and i kinda sorta like her? maybe? but i dont really know how to be around her in big groups. i think this might be related to the chtl thing (her not hugging me, because i imagine them to be close and have spoken about it) and it upsets me as well. i'm gonna put in more effort to talk to her and just be around her in bigger seshes even though its uncomfortable. i shouldnt have to worry about liking her. \n\nand now i just hung up with riya i feel a huge sigh of relief and energy come back to me. i need a list of reasons why, how she depletes my energy, how i dont feel like im in love with her. how im not ready for a relationship like this, how we never put on the breaks, how i strangely enjoy being away from her. god it all comes so easy when its about things i dont like and am not happy with, but it takes a lot of time and effort to think of the things i am happy with when it comes to her. that is a terrible sign...\n",

In my dream I was back at school for some reason as though I hadn't graduated. There I met Jay who kept talking about Parul and that made me feel weird. As though there was something I was missing, and I woke up feeling that way too. Like there was something wrong and that I'd always be just off for people, for the people I'm closest to. It reminded me of the time I tried to burn those bridges but they wouldn't let me.

"text": "Today was a very close call for godmode may. I wanted Parul so bad and was super horny and kept looking at naughty pictures and then just couldn't control myself. I started fapping and was edging a bunch and almost came super quickly just thinking about Parul. But with the help of my fellow gods I managed to control myself and take a cold shower and that seemed to stave off the urge. Stroking felt really really good though since it's been so long and my dick got harder and bigger than it usually I does. I can't stop thinking about Parul. Since she told me she's not bound to the US anymore I just want her more and can't wait to see her. I keep fantasizing about her coming to visit and me picking her up at the airport and giving her a big hug and twirling her around in the air and then kissing her and all the things that would follow, like getting in the Uber and then coming home, and holding her hand and touching her and everything. Ugh, I don't know I got to be like this again. Actually that's not entirely true, I have some idea. God it's so hard being in love with her when she's so far away. I really really hope she does come to visit otherwise I'll be quite upset. I keep getting jealous when she's not around and wondering what she's up to and it kinda frustrates me. I know it's unreasonable and silly and I want to be better about it but it's really hard. Reading this again is so pathetic lmao. ",

"text": "i cant sleep because of racing thoughts so I'm writing them down. i feel a deep sense of inadequacy, failure and imposture syndrome. i think it was brought on by looking through Kitaab again and feeling emptiness at the entirety of my life in notes. it was strange and uncomfortable amd probably led me to the following thoughts: in some sense ill never be good enough for the standards i set. that im far too scatter brained to actually become who i want to be. but even who i want to be is not something i have.a strong grasp on which only furthers my feelings. I think back on my university degree, and how i was exceptionally mediocre for most of it, and how that seems to be a trend in my life, whether it be for personal projects or otherwise. i even paint most the relationships i have in a bleak light during this time. and then im not left with much else. and the cycle deepens again. if im not happy with the things i do, the relationships i tried to cultivate, and dont know who i want to be, where do i go? what do i do?\n\nthis may also have to do with being hungover. lately i begin to feel exceptionally shitty after a night of drinking. the physical side effects arent too bad, and even tend to dissappear some of the time. but mentally its exhausting. i begin down this path of questioning, feel totally useless and unsure what to do, let alone how to do it. i think about quitting alcohol because of these negative effects but i look to those i know that don't drink and they rub me the wrong way. almost as though something doesnt feel right. i should switch to only drinking for occasions, rather than just because prabh asks me to. but if i turn to that then a lot of my IBD friends become pointless. at first i thought that would scare me, but now having written it down it sounds like.not such a bad thing maybe.

"text": "i've been spiraling again a bit lately and i think it because what Tanu said. and it's not even her fault because she was just looking out for her but what she said made me feel like an abuser. there's been many times now where talking to Tanu just makes me sad and I wonder if i should even try to engage with her. i mean, i would of course respond if she still wants to talk to me, but maybe it's best for her if i dont message her first? this line of thinking leads me down towards self destructive tendencies and has also brought back the dark sludgy tar ball in my core, and brings back thoughts of bridge burning. i dont know why i feel like i need to burn bridges with my closest friends. im trying to figure out where the desire comes from and what it actually represents and other than rebirth and self destruction i can't come up with any other ideas. i need to book a meeting with a counsellor again to hash out this sorta stuff. another thing i want to talk to erin about is my weed habits. yesterady was the first day in a long time that i didn't smoke up, and today when i got stoned i could really feel the difference, i was so much higher. but it makes me think that i use drugs as a crutch to mask my feelings of inadequacy and being upset.\n\nspeaking of the dark core, i learnt a new move against it today. it's like a slap of light. i picture two hands slapping really hard together sorta made of light and if i really truly believe, it does make a difference and diminishes the size and impact of the darkness. i've also had a few mantras that relate to staying strong and what being strong really is and that also helps me get out of that mind state. it helps that i've been there before so i can still see the light and know that a different outlook is possibel which also makes it heaps easier to deal with. \n\nother things that happened yesterady that aren't as bleak include going on a date with Manya. shes pretty cool, and i enjoy her company and im looking forward to see where it goes. since i'm leaving i feel like i shuoldn't get too invested, but i dont know how to draw the line and if i don't get invested at all what's even the point? so i guess im just in it for the ride. she's sweet and pretty comfortable to be around which are too big factors. im still not that open with her but that'll come with time i suppose. im looking forward to hanging out with her more. i think ill ask her to hang out tomorrow. \n\nalso finally having moved out i'm slowly beginning to pick up momentum again which i really like. it feels good, and i just got my laptop online again yesterady, so i'm gonna see if i can hook up some of the harddrives to it and go from there. i still need to setup my pi, but we're already out of lan ports so i'm looking at getting a wifi-dongle for it, which hopefully should be fine to stream tv/movies from my laptop to. i should really draw a diagram about the flow because i'm still sorta confused about how it should all come together, and i would really like to make it reproducable in some way which ive been trying for ages. \n\ni've also slept more than 12 hours these past two days and i thiink its because ive been feeling bad about the tanu thing but im planning on going to the gym tomorrow during lunch time with aaron so hopefully that's enough incentive to wake up at a raesonable hour having got a reasonable amount of sleep.

I tried to talk to Tanu, but she just arrived in Delhi and was hanging out with her cousins (but what I really want to say is that she hates me so why the fuck would she care) and Yayu who didn't respond which is fairly typical. *sigh* I'll be fine. I think. \n\nBack to all the things I have to do: I have my Doc Anal assignment on Sunday and my Info Theory assignment on Friday. I'll be going to the Artifex meeting around 6 and then meeting Ramee afterwards to work on the info theory assignment. I also have the freelance project I took which hopefully I won't have to cancel.

The requirements to pass are nofap, read a book, go to the gym 4/7 days, meditate daily, write in this journal, go to all my uni classes except one per week, make my bed 6/7 days, have an hour of creative time a week and dont smoke any weed. Most of these are already things I do, and will just be committing to doing them with more frequency or continuing to do them. The one I imagine will be hardest is nofap. I don't think I've ever done more than 2 weeks nofap and so committing to a whole month is going to be very difficult. But inspite of these difficutlties I will perservere. That's what it means to better myself. That's what it means to be a [GOD]. I'm actually pumped about this. I can do it. I can definitely do it.\n\nTanvir also came over today and we just talked and hung out for a while. He also told me he's gonna be homeless come Thursday so I offered to let him stay with me instead. He said he probably won't be sleeping here much anyway but needs a home base, which I'm totally cool with. Plus he said he'll bring an air mattress so it's totally fine. I was a little nervous offering him to stay here because idk how long he'll be here and I really like to be alone when I can be, so it's a tradeoff. But he's a really good friend of mine and if I didn't offer him a place to stay what kind of friend does that make me? so it's good that he'll have a place to stay, and besides I do get lonely a ton and it'll be nice to have him around. I'll still push him to house hunt and shit so I don't think he'll be around forever. ",

The house is constantly a mess, I never get to spend time by myself, and Anshul has become more annoying lately.

I want to learn and grow and stuff. \n\nI've also been playing so much poker which is fun but it's really hard to get up once I sit at the table, which is kinda the point I suppose. After going to sydney (wow I totally forgot I didn't write about that maybe I should, though I guess that's what I'm doing right now) Aaron taught me how to play a little bit, but I'm still bad at following the strategy (raise or fold) and knowing when to push my advantage and when to sit out (I still keep making really bad calls) but it's been fun and mostly I've been winning (after the training) so I dont mind.

"text": "today is a public holiday, but i've had a great weekend. yesterday I had Logan's birthday to attend which was nice chill games sesh mostly. then after that caitlin picked me up and we went to cammy's place for a fun game of boardgames and booze. it was delightful. it was me, jj, cammy, caitlin, clare, henry, and ricky. we mostly played coup and resistance. resistance got very heated again as usual, mostly between me and jj but i had a lot of fun and i think jj did as well. however in the final game i was the one calling all the shots and fucked up on jonathon and clare. i thought clare was good but jonathon was the good guy! i came so close to orchestrating the whole thing from the ground up, i felt so powerful throughout the course of that game, since i had elected myself in charge and nobody really contested me meaningfully. social deduction games are so good. i had a very strong read on jj from the get go. clare swindled me though. there was also lots of hugs after each game so we felt better and i really liked that because i do get intense and really wanted hugs anyway. after most the rest of the squad left since it was getting late, it was just me ricky cammy and caitlin. we were up pretty late chatting about things and drinking and playing pool (though we never really finished the game) and i really needed that i think. i felt pretty good in the morning which was surprising, but i did take a nap later in the day. it was really fun talking about cammy and caitlins relationships and romance in general. i really do love talking to people. i wish i was better about it.\n\nthe internet guy is coming tomorrow and i really want my internet fixed. i didnt do any of the productive things i thought i would without internet and it really kept me glued to my phone instead. it seems that going internet-less isn't the solution and i should write a blog about this maybe, preferably sooner than later so i have the experience fresh in my mind. \n\noverall, i'm left in a good mood and feel pleased. i don't have that much uni work that is immently due, and need to plan my america trip if its gonna happen so there are some things coming up, but ultimately im optimistic about the near future.

"text": "i keep having dreams about other girls. first it was debs, where i dreamt we cuddled and had to keep our relationship secret. it was cute, but also like, ughhh. and then it was alexa where me and her and russy seemed to be in a sort of polyamorous relationship? it was slightly odd, but in the dream i was happy. and then yesterday it was two random girls i didnt know and yet was happy getting to know and meet them and then spend time together. i suppose my brain is trying to tell me something, something fairly obvious that i really wanted to avoid i guess. makes sense that ive been thinking about them since me and riya broke up, but i think part of it has been happening since before then too. i guess more evidence that i dont want a relationship? or at least not a long distance one. i do feel gross that i keep thining about my friends girlfriends in this light. but i guess i dont control my subconcious thoughts in that way. more over i guess its just that i want to be held and cuddled because i miss physical contact. i should give my friends big hugs when i can. \n",

It's been fun to play with so far, i got some of the things running on it, like a cool watch face, a pomodoro timer, and... that's it really. i guess notifications and calendar is cool. I want to get task warrior working on it, and somehow get the apps to sync my pomodoro counts and maybe use tasker to trigger it on my phone too?? that would be interesting. I'd like to start trying to hit 12 pomodoros a day for studying/practicing/building. in doing so, the starting pomodoro would be for thinking everything out, and so for that i would like to be able to write out all the things i want to do and an associated time?? i may or may not need a time? depending on how well the integration goes. i think that would be a fun project to hack on. i have so many projects to hack on. now that im finally back home, I *really* need to get a vpn setup so that i can access all my local stuff from away, because I plan to be away often and I don't want to get jammed like I did with my website on this trip.

I can't tell if I'm still mad at tanvir or not, but I am/was hurt by his actions, and I need to tell him that. I think to a certain degree i am still upset with him too, because what sorta best friend abandons you when it's convienent??

"text": "So yesterday I forgot to invite Chtl to my hair dying thing, mostly because I felt bad constantly asking her for help, but then she felt dogshotted by the lack of invite. Which is totally fair, even if I didn't invite her for help I should've invited her to the sesh. So I feel kinda bad about that, but I'm trying to make it up to her by doing the hair dying next stage on Friday with her around. It's taught me to be more aware of how my own negative bias can impact someone in a way I thought I was saving them from. \n\nI also vaped a lil weed and bought some again for the first time in a long time. I actually had a really enjoyable time, both with my uber driver and when talking to Riya. At first I was scared of talking to her when I was stoned, but I mustered up the courage to just call her because I realized the only thing that was making me worried about talking to her was being stoned and there was no reason to let that get in the way of what I wanted (talking to her). It turns out we had a really great conversation, and were able to talk about things in a way we generally aren't. Our communication was a lot better, because even though we were discussing difficult topics (for us generally) I was easily able to circumnavigate the tenous parts of the conversation since I found it easier to detach from things that would otherwise make me very \"passionate\" and taclk calmly and explain my perspective and better understand her perspective. \n\nWhen I was stoned, after she fell asleep and as I was falling asleep, I had some really interesting ideas. There was one constantly about \"mapping\" out my thoughts and I remember drawing a trail of the thoughts I was having and really wish I could save them by having some sort of brain implant (I can't remember them now! I really wish I could, I thought I had some interesting insights about my own life which I was previously not privy to), which led me to thinking about what the world would look like when people get brain implants, and that led me to wanting to write a design article at first, but it turned into a story. A story about how there are three kinds of homosapiens now \"Enhanced, Lesser and Vanilla/Default\" and there's also hiveminds but those aren't considered human. How the enhanced basically run the world and are super powerful, but most people can't handle it or don't go about it in the right way and end up joining a hive mind or killing themselves, and the enhanced have no time or care for those that aren't. The lesser facilitate movement of information between all three groups since they are part of all three worlds (this would be the perspective the story is set from), and the defaults look at the rest of the homospaiens with disgust and hold on to their purity. I wanted to make this story intersectional in some way, rather than just about class, but I'm still thinking on how to do that. It's times like those I really wish I had a phone with a keyboard and be able to type on it without looking, just to be able to jot down my points without truly waking up. Maybe I should go back to keeping a notebook and paper near my desk (perhaps the onyx could do this too?) to write down night thoughts. ",

It's ridiculous. *sigh* oh well.\n\nhmm, asides from that i went to the gym. I'm working through my assignment, but didn't get as much done as I wouldve liked but its late and I have work tomorrow so I'll do it tomorrow. I was also supposed to book flights today but that didn't happen. I'm getting really sick of eating out and am looking at ordering groceries so i can cook because i dont think ill get to go and pick them out. I also spoke with Ma and Pa today and that was pretty pleasant. I like talking to them. Ooh, i also finished s5 of Seinfeld and its soooo good. the final episode George finally turns his life around by doing the opposite of what he thinks and its the best oh my god. ",

"text": "Today I woke up really tired obviously because I went to bed really late last night. I remember dreaming about trying to snooze the alarm and was wondering why it wasn't turning off and then I woke up and realized I was dreaming and snoozed it for real. I way over slept tbh and only got up around 7.40 which is super late. I ended up being a whole 20 minutes late to work and had to skip breakfast at home and grabbed a sausage roll and a pie from The Brothers Oven. After my coffee I felt a lot better and was defs buzzing from it. I'm turning into a person that needs coffee on the daily. I'm dont really like that but I guess I do enjoy coffe a lot now. Probably because of the mood improvements. I tell myself that at least I'm taking L-Theanine with it to mitigate the bad things, but it doesn't really help with the addictiveness of it. Oh well. Work today was actually pretty hectic and I'm still stressing about all the work I have to do. I'm getting through it and I dont feel helpless, but it still is a lot and it's gonna be hard to to get through it all. For work there was a bunch of high utilisation stuff that Warick wanted me and Alex to document. Warick is really nice to me and he's always suoer thankful for all the work I do. It's really sweet. I like Warick. And I like having meaningful work to do. Most the stuff I do just feels pointless, so having something to do that actually matters makes it feel better. I'm done with work now and I picked up my pants so that's good. I don't think I'll get to the post office before it closes but that's fine, I'll just pick up the razor tomorrow. Other things I still have to do include the security clearance stuff, Artifex meeting, and then go to the gym. Ideally I'd like to finish my COMP3310 assignment today too so I can focus on getting my report for the research project for the rest of the week. And then after that is the bio inspired one. But I'm nearly at the end. I'm not gonna give up now.\n\nAnd as always I gotta mention Parul here. She sent me a really hot photo of her in just her bra and even though it's not that explicit she looks sooooo hot. I really don't understand how I'm this attracted to her after all this time. it's kinda crazy. But she's really so sexy. I hope if there's one thing I can help her with it's to realise that and be more confident. She's always blaming herself for things and putting herself down and it makes me really sad. I want her to realise just how hot she is and be more confident and to love herself the way she loves everyone else. \nAlso related, but we finally spoke about how she has been in love with me for a long time. I'm not suspicious of her motives anymore, they were never anything but pure and i was being stupid to question that. It's also funny because she only realised that she was in love with me during the office amd she thought of the time before (when we were really sexually frustrated) as different to afterwards. It's funny because I made allusions to a Jim and Pam friend couple i knew but i was referencing us but she didn't realise, though i did end up telling her. It's funny to me because I conflated being really attracted to her with being in love with her (which is basically the case for me, I can't have one without the other) to her side and knew that she loved me before she did. God I love her. I really hope she comes to visit. I'm trying not to be upset if she doesn't but I think it'd really hurt. ",

"text": "im already on the bus back to nyc i was gone as soon as i came to boston. im so glad i did. spending even the little time with both priya and divya was amazing and especially divya was super moved, it seemed like a big deal to meet her again, and seeing her was amazing. she immediately grasped that this was a mission and plan for me, something of a quest which was really cool. but much like with when i was with tanushree i didnt have enough time to totally catch up and get everything settled. it was just hello, unfortunately. it was such a wild ride trying to meet divya. i already slept in an hour which led to being late, and then had to ride a train to see her but eventually we finally met and it was awesome. it felt like no time had passed. thats kinda how it felt with everyone. \n\nwith priya i just chilled and smoked sooo much fucking weed. it was ridiculous amounts of weed for 2 people to smoke in 1 night. but it was lots of fun and chill, which i enjoyed. we orded really yummy thai food and she covered like everything. \n\ni can sense my journey coming to it's end. its making me slightly nervous getting back to the grind, but im also a little relieved. ive been running a sprint these past few weeks and harnessing chaos to it's maximum, but that requires a lot of energy. as always its a dual edged sword, tohugh one side is a lot sharper ahaha.",

"text": "I'm on the bus to boston right now and i decided to write something since i have time and am not yet super sleepy (even though i took half a gummy when i got on the bus and i think its been 2 hours-ish now but im still not high, but i might also not be able to feel it since i've been sitting here for all that time). listening to jai paul and jamming out. i'm wondering where to begin it's already kinda difficult for me to piece together this trip ahaha. yesterday i met swetha for the first time in maybe 3 or 4 years and it was tons of fun, we got drinks at a bunch of different locations and eventually tuneer joined us and we went home together. then me and tun chatted until quite late and were smoking a bit and it was great. i opened up to him about parul and that was kinda nice, since there's been literally nobody else ive spoken to that about. i also recapped my wild adventures on the extra day i stayed in san francisco. man, that day was wild, i dont think i have it written here. so after been out drinking with Dhvani and then going to her friends place where she was warming up to me a lot but i wasnt down. so i just chilled and ranted about dumb tech shit to her and her friend a ton. it was fun. but yeah, i went back to sam's place and shaurya threw a party that was going off. and over there i met a cute girl named Sheela and we hit it off really quick. and then we made out a bunch but the party was starting to die down, since people were going out or to other parties. so me sheela, her friend and some other rando from the party went to some other after party. that after party was at this huge loft and they had DMT there!! so i did some even though i was high and drunk which was fucking wild. im pretty sure i broke through because i remember speaking to this entity that was very difficult to describe but mostly circular and red-orange-glow that changed constantly. i kept asking it questions and it was always at least 3 steps ahead of me and consistently managed to break the wall or be meta or something until at the very end it said something along the lines of \"yeah, welcome!!\" and that was my peak and i started coming down. i'm so glad i got to try it though it was amazing. on the way down it does have very similar vibes to acid ending and that always trips me up. but after a bit it was gone and i was back to hooking up with Sheela. it was a wild night. \n\nthen the next morning i flew to phoenix to meet kartik which was really cool and we rode around on birds and got drinks and hung out. and then the day after that i flew into atlanta to see Tanushree which i'm also super glad I ended up doing because it kinda patched our relationship up a little bit. i wish i got more time with her because we didnt get to hash it all out and she was mad at me about not staying for very long. but we all learn from our mistakes and next time i wont be afraid to ask her about it. and then i came to nyc. holy crap what a mad trip!! its still going. \n\nbefore i got on the bus this afternoon i was hanging out with ankitha, since we got lunch together and holy crap she's awesome. always has been a go-getter, but we talked a lot about tons of stuff and i liked hanging out with her. im really glad i got to see her.

She was so sweet and cute and her smile waas so warm. i want to mention Johanes who is the first dick i sucked, and was also a lovely (there it is again) human being im glad to have met. I also met Tae Woo again after school!! he travelled like 2 hours to see me which was so kind. \n\ni wish travelling wasn't so painful. i wish i didn't have to leave my friends. i wish the world wasn't so big.

"text": "Ive been having strange dreams in India lately. The last one was during a nap I took today in the mid afternoon. Ostensibly me and poopz (I think poonam was there too) were going to school in a flying car. Bangalore was heavily rained over so the only way to traverse was a flying car and so we set out, this may have had something to do with the fact that it was raining when I took my nap. I can clearly recall leaving our old BTM house in a car that was less than a meter off the ground and poopz was driving. she was driving very rashly and very fast and though at times the exhiliration was enjoyable it was mostly terrifying. it seemed as though it was a long time ago because rather than the bulit up bangalore i am more familiar with it was the old green forest-ed bangalore of my youth. we almost crashed on multiple occasions, usuallly into other cars and other motorcycles (of which only one other was flying) but she managed to maneovur around them all in the nick of time. this was getting on my nerves and i told her to drive slower but that just made her go faster. eventually, when we were almost at school we spun out and crashed into a wall and then i awoke.\n\nanother one i had was when we went to forum. the one in koromangala. it was me mum and poopz again, and we came in through a strange entrance and had to find a secret passage to actually get into the mall. once we did mum gave us both some money and told us to meet her at a certain place in a few hours. for some reason basically all the stores i went into were game stores and the mall at large seemed to be abandoned for the most part except the shop clerks. i was looking around for switch games but i couldnt find any. eventually i found a shop where the clerk recognized me and i was very surprised by this, and then eventually everyone starting recognizing me and this was both scary but also wholesome. eventually i got used to it and continued roaming around. i go back to the first shop where the clerk knew me and he tells me i used to come all the time and that he was glad i finally had returned. i told him i was looking for games and he decided to recommend me one, it was battlefield 4 (some sort of special edition by the looks of things) and he said id really enjoy it. i thanked him for the recomendation but said i didnt have a ps4 only a switch and he looked sad but accepting. i told him i was hungry and he directed me to a food court where he told me others were waiting to see me again. i get to the food court and nobody seems to recognize me until one man approaches me very warmly and welcomes me back to forum. the food court looks more like a old shaadi place with a buffet of very large bowls filled mostly with different sorts of chicken and people sitting on the floor. he grabs me a plate and tells to help myself to how much ever i would like. just as im about to eat i wake up.\ni think this dream happened because me and manya went to the mandalay bus and stewey rememebered my name and then she kept bringing up how everyone knew me which i believe is why everyone in my dream recognized me.

"text": "I had the wildest dream I think i've ever had and i just had to write about it.\nI'm trying to remember ho it started because the twists and turns it ended up taking were unbelievable. \nI think it started with a party. an uncle/aunty party with mum and poopz. we were just hanging out and drinking and it just sorta set the scene of the party and made it seem believable? I remember I had both the phones that I had been carrying around when I met them. somewhere along the line I went into a basement and found Wibbles with an army of other people (for the basement this meant like 10 others) tryinng to create fake books to sell to the library. like ultra rare books that didnt exist otherwise being sold to the library because we made them for lots and lots of money. so I decided to help them as much as I could, because creating fake books sounds like a fun thing to do. basically what wibbles asked me to do was smash our fake book with this real old book such that it would begin to resemble the old one. there was one area in particular (the binding) that needed to not look totally fake (because it had blue streaks across it which were obviously done up) after many hours of doing this and seeing other people do equally boring tasks i was beginning to give up, when it worked! so then next for some reason I had to hack into the library, go there and make sure that the sale would happen. this is when things got a bit scary. there were tons of flashing lights and huge screens everywhere that i didnt quite understand and at some point i was transported to the actual location of the library where everythnig was pink and flashing and ominous (and i was getting really anxious) and i ws running out of time and so i did my best by basically smashing all the keys and then leaving. I took the elevator down to find myself in a totally foreign location with low battery on both of my phones and unable to book an ola or know where to go. \nluckily then after frantically strolling around hoping for the best, i run into a bunch of people from tisb at some sort of late night party, and they were by chance staying in the dorms there? there were tons of old faces that I didn't totally recognize but knew kinda well enough that i was just saying hi to random people. i was also really anxious at this point because for some reason i was thinking about work tomorrow (like rn im on the way to work) and was worried about how to get back until eventually i realized it was imossible to get back on time and just decided to liev with it. i thoght i saw sarayu but she was walking away and i decieded to go inside because i wasnt as fucked up as everyone else (who were probably doing md and drinking)\nand once inside again the atmosphere totally changed. one of my teachers was holding some sort of party but just behind the wall and all i could see was her with a cake seeming somewhat melancholy. i left her since she was behind the wall anyway and continued exploringn the dorms when Tejas comes out of his room wearing this hi-tech VR gear and i see kartik inside playing some other game, so i decide to chill with him. he was playing a p cool looking game so i sat down and watched him until my alarm went off.\n\nwriting it all out it doesnt seem that wild, but actually expierencing it was a roller coaster of emotions and kinda reflective of my mentl state rn. i feel anxious and unworthy a lot and it was really reflected in the dreams.

Then when I went to pay, I needed to transfer money into my spending account, but the internet was being really shit so I was getting anxious and then this woman comes up to me and is like \"Sorry, I don't mean to disturb you, but if you don't have enough money, I can pay for you\" and I was kinda in shock and then said that would be lovely thank you so much that really means a lot.

"text": "I was watching a video today about Casey Neistat's youtube following and what he gets right and I really like the idea of having a narrative to each day. I feel like even with my jounal I often just recount the days events (and even then not very well) and I would like to learn to tell stories or improve my story telling skills here. \n\nI woke up really really tired because I was up late working on my assignment which I totally didn't need to do, so yeah. I woke up to my alarm around 7 but just went back to sleep. I stayed in bed for about 2 hours and then went to CSIT for what I thought would be the replacement lab I could attend. It turend out that the lab was actually at 1pm so I just did the lab work during that hour and managed to finish it all, and then got some food and coffee and came back home. I should've submitted my assignment then but I dicked around instead so I just went to the data mining class. After 2 hours there I did go get the photo copies I needed and then went home and submitted my report. I didnt check if I published correctly but I can't imagine it went wrong so whatever. It's over now anyway. On the way home I got a poke bowl but I was super tired and thinking of just eating it later, but I ended up eating it then and then I was less tired, so I watched some youtube videos (mostly Joe Rogan, he's awesome) instead and then ended up taking a nap because I was still tired and didnt want to start my report. After I woke up, I came so close to ending gmm. I'm glad I didn't but I downloaded a ton of porn and really really want to fap. I was thinking about Parul a lot too. The pictures of her in her bra get me sooo horny. I didn't realize her boobs were that big. They're really nice. Jacking it to her is so much riskier than porn too, I finish way faster if I'm thinking about her than if I'm watching porn. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out I'm demi. That's kinda what I've been doing my whole life. Imagining someone to finish, because porn was never really good enough. But yeah, I managed to not finish which was good even though it was really hard. Then I motivated myself to get the things signed (which I realize now was a bad decision and would've made more sense to start my report because I'll have to go back there for a different piece of paper anyway, but that might be later, hmm maybe it wasn't terrible) and that was really motivating to do and made me feel a bit better. And now I'm home and edged a bit more (god I'm an idiot) and now I'm about to hop into bed. \nOh. I think I'm going to ask Tanu if I did something or if she's mad at me or something. She hardly texts me and our conversations are really strained now, but I'm trying hard to get her to engage but she just seems preoccupied or not interested or something. If it keeps going on I'll have to confront her about it. It's kinda nerve racking.

"text": "im tired. im going to go to bed soon, and its a lot earlier than usual, but this is a good thing. work has been difficult lately, mostly because of my own doing, but also because i'm a little fearful. fearful of what exactly? i couldn't tell you. just slightly on edge. it's been eating up all my time as well, but thats mostly because i dont do the work i know i should've done and am constantly playing catch up. in a way not so dissimular from university. my self-destructive flair shines again. it would still be an exaggeration to say im burnt out or overly stressed about it, but it still does bother me. i find it difficult to switch off. going to the library helps though, so im going to try and do that more. \n\nme and parul started talking again, after 2 weeks of her boyfriend visiting and she's v anxious again. immediately my mind jumped to them breaking up, followed up by us getting back together, served immediattely with a side of 'no parul, i cant put myself through that again'. its as though i both want the power to say no, but want to know im wanted. not that any of that matters, its all in my head anyway. i have no reason to presume they have broken up, and no intention of asking. i didn't tell her that me and riya broke up either, and dont particualrly want to. still, it is nice to be back in touch with her. it was like no time at all had passed. i'll forever cherish our friendship. \n\nme and riya also had a semi-real conversation for the first time since even before breaking up. ive been happy with the way i handled that, and moving on, but im lonely again. i think this loneliness manifests itself in dark ways, like the above mentioned ideas wiith parul, but also with wanting debs. on the weekend we hung out (a lot of us, at chad pad) and i smoked a joint and went full earth brain. i think i need to stop smoking weed at seshes that aren't primarily stoner seshes. i get waaayyy too dumb and feel this pressure and get self concious. so im not gonna do that anymore. \n\nim also getting quite tired of the work routine. but its more than that. even my off hours feel stale in a certain sense. the same people, doing generally the same things, in the same places. i want to meet new people and mix things up. with the forge hopefully going back up this weekend, i think its high time i paid my fee to HSBNE and started hanging out there hoping to meet cool people. that or perhaps shiv could nitroduce me to some of his friends. i really miss having a desi squad to get lit with. it would obviously be harder now that im not in uni to meet people, but also since i can only hang on the weekends really, and i tend to hang out with my current friends. \n\nim not really sure how to mix things up, but tomorrow im getting a tattoo. my first! im quite excited but also very nervous. in that regard it would be good to start work early so i can get out of work early too. but who knows if that'll happen. \n\ni guess through all of this i am trying to convey some sense of missing. some absence i can't quite put my finger on. as though to say, \"is this it? that's all?\" thats been my general mood this time period. i've been doing lots of check ins and reviews and all that, but was i really present? this is the realest i've felt in a long time when it comes to writing things down in my journal. i think that says a lot. \n\nas a final note, i lost a single climbing shoe on the way back from the gym on saturday and now i will have to buy new ones. im sad at this, because i really didn't want to spend the money. speaking of which, i've had insane lifestyle creep happen. i haven't managed to save at all, and keep spending. after my last paycheck i was actually at a net loss over the month... i need to find a place to put my money so that it keeps making me money. it's been on my backlog for so long. \n\ni also really need to start doing a \"plan for tomorrow\" with my reviews or something. i think knowing what i plan to do tomorrow the night before would ease some of the stress that comes from working. now that i use taskwarrior extensively, a lot of my tasks get put in there and i quite like the system i have. but i don't always check it as often as i should, and though things haven't quite got lost in the sauce, i want a better way to review them. i thinkt hats a general pattern in my life. so much focus on collecting, and not enough on review. perhaps that is something i should do next month, or moon cycle. i like the idea of having 2ish week goals or trials. this month i did no alc and no snacs. but commiting to something like that every month seems untenable. a smaller cycle rate would be helpful. perhaps once trialed, each cycle could be split into a 4-phase system -- but there i go collecting again hah",

"text": "I've been feeling really shit lately. There's been multiple things that I think are causing me to feel this way. For one work is really not fun. I kinda dread going now. Knowing that I just have to sit there the entire day is hard. And then finding ways to pass the time is even harder. Finally coming home after having spent all day basically doing nothing and then having to come home and continue doing uni stuff is close to impossible. It just makes me feel really shit. \nAnother one, was (and isn't really the case so much anymore) was Parul going on a date. I mean, she's told me about tonts of dates before and they never really bothered me. But this one did. Maybe because she had a good time (which is awful to say) it bothered me more, but I did realize that I felt jealous. Even now, even though I know she's just working really hard on uni stuff, it bothers me. I think it's slowly getting better, but that certainly had an impact. \nThe final thing would be just feeling like a failure, with regards to my other commitments. I didn't do as well as I expected on in my midsems/assignments so far. In fact, I did quite poorly. That definietly impacted me too. Felt like I'm not trying hard enough, even though it's hard for me. That my best won't be enough. That even if I gave it 100% it wouldn't be enough to do the things I want to do. My research project is kind of falling apart too. I failed to deliver on the collab-a-thon for Artifex. Logan mentioned that today. How certain members let the community down by not delivering on what they promised. How 2 fairly big events just didn't happen because of me. He didn't explicitly call me out, but I knew he was talking about me. It made me feel real shit. But he's totally right. And that's the thing. That's why I feel shit. Because I did let people down. I did fail. It's not just in my head. I consistently fail to deliver on things I set out to do. Sure I could make the argument that I try to deliver more than I'm capable of, but I don't think that's an excuse. I don't think there can be an excuse. The truth is that I do consistently let people down. And not just specific people. Everyone. Myself included. Even on personal projects that I do for myself. I'm just bad at doing things. It makes me want to quit and give up. Just curl up in bed and disappear. What's the point in trying if I keep letting everyone down, if I keep failing? If I don't learn from my failures, if I don't know how to learn from my failures, why keep going? \n\nBefore this turns even more depressing than it is right now, I'm gonna leave it there. That's kinda where I've been the past couple of days, going to bed as early as I can. I made an appointment with the counsellor but it won't be until the 7th of June. I'll figure some way to make it there. Hopefully. ",

"text": "it's early in the morning and i dont quite yet want to go to bed, but i'm not sure of what else im supposed to do. i'm fairly drunk, and everyone here is asleep, i just got here. im not even sure what i wish for, just a continuation of the sesh, or in some strange attraction to productivity, to \"do something\". \n\nthis is a feeling ive felt quite a bit in brisbane, especially since in canberra it's almost the opposite, i'm always looking for avenues to leave. i guess when it's a different city and friends you don't get to see often or for much longer you wish for contiuous engagement \n\ni'm sitting outside and getting eaten by mosquitoes, but i dont know where else to sit that would be quiet and dark enough for jafni to sleep on the count with. he's still fairly close to me, even when im sitting outside. i can hear a house nearby thats playing loud emo-ish music from the 2000s and they're all having a ball. i almost thought about just turning up there, but it's clearly a private party and i don't want to intrude. \n\ni've enjoyed my time in brisbane, it's been rejuvenating. tomorrow i'm going to see caelen and goulda and i'm quite excited about that. i feel like i spent a lot of time at smansion this time? i certainly felt like gerard had had enough of me for the first time, which i do understand. he in particular had this complaint about my pooping habits which is odd but understandable. i'm actually glad he clarified with me, because it's not something i ever really used to think about, but leaving the toilet in a good shape after i use it is something i should be doing. \n\nugh i just moved inside and now i cant remember exactly where i was going with that. i'm trying to free write here, and now im just covered in mossie bites, it's very annoying, i suppose i should've seen this coming. \n\nlately in birsbane i've been thinking about getting back on track a lot. doing the thihngs i know i can and should do to make sure that these months that i've just been bidding by aren't a total waste. i've been thinking about moving here because the sesh is just so crazy. in fact, i may have imagined a fantasy surrounding becoming Debs roommate, and maybe even becoming more than that, but i know that's just a fantasay i sustain because it'd be easy and lucky for me rn. there's a very small percentage chance of that happening, but even the fact that i say it that way gives you the inclination that i believe it's a psssibility instead of straight fantasy. i think it could be really fun, especially if nothing happens, and there would be a lot of drama if something did. i seem to gravitate towards that sort of drama. \n\ni think i should stop vaping. \n\n",

"text": "i had such a lovely dream and its still fresh in my head and i wanted to write about it. \n\ni believe it started at a party of some sort where basically all my friends were. at first i was only meeting people from india and australia, and that was fine, i was having fun. it was in this huge house with v bisexual lighting and tons of floors. but towards the end of the party(or maybe we were moving somewhere else?) and everyone was going outside into cars, I bumped into Laurel and Charly. And I haven't seen them in so long that I wanted to go to their car. actually wait before this happened when everyone was heading outside there was gonna be a new party that we were going to (one that Kishan was hosting) but he was being exclusionary and didnt invite some people from the current party, mostly girls for some reason, and that made me kinda sad and upset because those girls were my friends too. \n\nanyway, Charly and Laurel were some of the girls that were excluded from coming to the party and they couldn't go anyway because Laurel had to go to the airport since she was leaving. when I found out that she was leaving I knew I had to get into her car because I wanted to spend whatever time we had left together. she had this super fancy ass car that she was also living in but it was like no seats and totally flat and soft like a bed. there were only 2 seats and those were the 2 in front where the driver was (at first I thought it was self driving). So on the way to the airport it was just me and charly and laurel and we were catching up and talking and being friends and it was so lovely. i hadnt felt like that in a long time, that i connected with someone. eventually we got to the airport. \n\nonce at the airport -- which was unlike any other airport ive ever seen, we tried to help laurel find her way. because the airport was acutally a maze!! the entry was beautiful, like lush green hills and people were having picnics and flying kites, it was beautiful. then we found the door and it was some sort of puzzle? everything anyone looked at would light up and we had to find the right way and not get distracted. it didnt work too well for me though because i couldnt light up many of the objects and was getting annoyed but charly pulled we away to follow laurel who was running really late at this point. then finally we got through that bit of the maze and it turned into a normal airport and laurel found her gate. and then we said our goodbyes. it wasnt even super sad, like somehow we knew it would only be temporary. \n\nand then i remembered that i didnt have a ride back, and that maybe things with charly would be awkward and started freaking out a little bit. but charly it would be fine we're taking laurels car anyway and she didnt mind. so on the way back we continued talking and catching up and being friends and it was lovely. and that was it.

"text": "Today there is actually something specific I want to write about. It's about my desire to be different from everyone else, and how thats shaped my world view so much. I think it ties into why i thought i could be everything, why im lonely, and also why i dont have an \"in-group\". I guess i am a hipster among hipsters, hah. i feel like since a very young age it's always been fostered in me. this idea that i had potential that nobody else did, that i wasnt living up to. that i was somehow special in a way others werent. i really honestly believed that. in fact i think i still do. from a young age so many people with authority in my life told me that. my teachers, my parents, even my peers continue to express how im strange and not like anything theyre familiar with. i remember when yayu was talking about how she was talking to tanu about my episode at the beginning of this year and she said \"lol it's anish, expect the unexpected\". that struck a cord with me. perhaps was the beginning of this thought train. even my closest friends know to expect different things from me than they do from everyone else.\ni think its a core part of my identity now for better or worse, that i think im different than everyone else in a way that looks down on others. its why \"be better, be anish\" was a thing. but at the same time ive tried very hard to discard the pretentiousness that comes with it. sure, i am different, but that doesnt make me better. i think i can manage that. to be different and unpretentious. i think this is why im insufferable a lot, and why its hard for me to make friends, not only amongst the normies but sometimes also amongst the weirdos. its why i refused to be a part of only one group as my in-group. because how could i be different than everyone if there was this one group that i was entirely subscribed to? so i gave up on having an ingroup. i say this now, and im not sure how true it is, but it is what i believe, i didnt always intentionally go against the grain. for a long time, it was just \"oh this is what everyone's doing? guess i'll do the opposite\" but at some point it grew past that. i began to think about things for myself, and even though it's hard to deny the impact \"trends\" have had on my thought process, i figured out that mindlessly going against them was no different to mindlessly following them. \ni think that all leads me to now. where i feel alone amongst my friends. where i feel i have no peers with which i can relate. it's because i never really did. it's been a core part of me since the beginning. and yet this feeling is so ethereal. im still a person. i have needs and desires like everyone else. i have feelings and thoughts and emotions. i wonder if ill ever come to grips with it or my entire life will be a performance entitled \"this is me; because it's not you.\"",

I wonder how many times that's happened before. \n\ni've been struggling with my sleep lately. i can't fall asleep for hours on end while laying in bed, and it's driving me crazy. I'm not sure what's causing it because I'm very tired by the time I do get to bed. It's really frustirating. Perhaps it's work. I have been struggling a little with it, if im being honest though it's entirely my fault because I don't work when I should. I find it quite difficult to focus in the mornings, and so I just faf around for hours on end, annoyed that im not working, but not annoyed enough to actually work. and then the night comes around and i've calmed down and can focus and start to work, and at least today it turned out all my worries were unfounded. the task i was to do was a lot easier than i imagined. it's annoying because this is something i've noted before, that if im in break mode just enjoy break mode, and then do work lately. but instead im unable to totally enter break mode, and im not working either and that limbo state really annoys me. i need to figure out what to do about that. \n\nthe other actually cool thing that i did today was get inked! im so happy with the way it came out. it's interesting because while writing the above section i was pondering the power of words. that by writing down that i dont like it i'd make it true. and the truth is that there is a part im not entirely sold on. it's the colored bit just below the back of my neck. i think it's not quite perfect, or fleshed out enough, but not in execution but idea form. the cresent moons on my arm are total 😍 vibes though, i totally love it. overall i had a great experience with getting tattoo'd and i look forward to getting my next one. \n\ni keep thinking about doing a no-new-media week or two, where i just go through all my old stuff and either consume it, or at least categorize it. i was telling jxN today that I could very easily spend all day on my laptop just scrolling the internet not doing a whole lot without too much trouble. i have soo many feeds. not that i think this is a bad thing, being swept up in the internet does allow me to do things and be in touch with stuff i would otherwise miss. but it also does come at a cost. like i always say, balance. and right now the balance is not where i want it to be.

"text": "I'm drained. I was in bed for 12 hours yesterday. Perhaps more. At the time I thought I'd just take a quick nap and continue because I thought I was tired. But what I was afraid of came true. It felt oddly familiar and not something I'd felt like in a while. Depression strikes back. In between being asleep for 12 hours the times I was awake I felt really alone. There's nobody here for me. I mean sure, I have a couple of friends and I have some acquantances but not really anybody. And then I realized it'd be the same no matter where I go. There isn't really anybody anywhere for me. That made me unhappy. \n\nI'm not sure what to do about it except keep on keeping on. Some days will be bad days. Some days I will be drained. Somedays the feedback of my supervisor will crush me. I think that's something I need to work on. Resilience training of some kind. The feedback my supervisor (Roger) gave me was honest and to the point. It wasn't harsh. It wasn't rude. When I first read it I was totally crushed. Then I read it again and felt a bit better. Motivitaion to try harder, to be better. But it was fleeting at best. I was once again greeted by my old friend \"give up in the face of difficulty\". But at least I'm recognizing it. I'm gonna try and work, and like I said, keep on keeping on. The alternative is self destruction, and despite all the romanticism I've built around it, it's not really an answer at all. \n\nSuccess is not permanent and failure is not fatal.",

"text": "something has really been bothering me lately and ive been meaning to write about it in hopes that it'll free some of my angst, and i think i finally made some headway that it makes sense to write about so here i go. \n\ni still hold animosity towards Parul. (no, im not gonna use the other fucking name). that she abandoned me and replaced me like it was nothing. that she then had the gall to ask me not to do the same to her. to not abandon her just cuz she did me. and that because i can't get over it im somehow the bad guy. im just sitting around and doing other things when all of a sudden she'll drift back to my mind and ill picture her with akshat (i still dont know what he looks like) and them having sex or making out or her giving him a blowjob and it fucking hurts. and i just get mad. how she only texts me when shes anxious or worried or stressed or something, and how we only ever really talk about her life and her problems now. because most of my problems are her and we cant talk about that. and nothing is going on for me and theres nothing to talk about. how she only texts me when akshat isnt around. which is why i dont text her first. because its painful to be reminded that i didnt matter, that i could be so easily replaced. that she didnt tell me until she tossed me to the side. it makes me sad, and i dont want to have to deal with that, but i often dont get a choice. how i still have to be nice to her because we are actually friends even though theres no meaning to it anymore. how she's still the only one that actually talks to me. god knows nobody else does. and she knew that. she still must know that. and it didnt matter.\n\nand yet at the same time, i rationalize that it's unfair to blame her. how can i blame her for my involvement in something i knew would only end in heartbreak for one of us? that i continued to be involved in something that would inevitably lead to pain. maybe it's easy to see in hindsight, but come on, it was pretty obvious that it couldnt work. and it was obvious that i was the one who was going to get hurt. she was going on dates and meeting people and i was relying on her as my only form of social contact. of course it was going to be me. i fucking knew that. so how can i blame her? but she knew that too. how is it her fault? she didnt betray me, it was only the inevitable that happened. maybe its because she knew that, and didnt give me any warning. not even time to fucking recuperate. no fuck that. she did handle it poorly. and even if i knew it was going to end badly for me, she made it painful. more painful than it had to be. almost as painful as she could have. and yet there was no malice involved. how can i continue to spite her for that? is it really her fault that all she wanted was somebody there with her? am i really so petty as to hold her from her happiness? no.\n\nand yet here i am. irrationaly taken by my emotions. angery that i was replaced. not only in the lover sense, but as a friend. as someone she knew. and now i might as well be nobody. well, not entirely, but still. and i dont know what to do about it. i just avoid it, by not texting her, but its not like i stop thinking about her that way. to be fair i have been thinking about her a lot less. i dont even like looking at her pictures anymore. so maybe that's progress. but maybe i also need more time off. but am i also really not allowed to be mad?",

That was p fun. I'm really grateful he remembered me when Clare was picking up and asked if I needed any. That was really sweet.\nLately I've also been feeling a bit weird in my tummy, I think it's acid reflux. I think it's because I haven't been eating as much lately and I also probs haven't been eating healthily. I also have been missing most my dailies since getting back from QLD but I'm slowly beginning to get back into the routine. Today I also made my first pull request! I added Canberra to Transportr. It migh turn out to be a useless PR because the Australia provider already existed, but it was fun to start working on that. I also finally got around to git pulling pleroma after ages of having wanted to do that. So overall not a bad day. I did a bunch of chores yesterday and today so that makes me feel good. I still have tons of laundry left though. ",

I'm not sad about leaving the country though. America did meet my expectations in a lot of ways but its hard to describe. everybody was always super polite and nice to me, but there's something in the vibes and culture that i picked up on. they felt similar to how i felt about the place from reading about it online. there are still certainly huge differences between my perspective then and my perspective now, especially in regards to white america and black america and how it all comes together. maybe i'm a little less jaded now too because of that. but white, consumerist america is still around in full force. also just the amount of wealth in this country is insane and it's a huge difference i noticied between australia and america more generally. \n\ni think another big thing i can take away from my trip is that im not attracted to any of the girls I met. Not Sarayu, or Tanushree in particular nor any of the others. I don't think I'm attracted to Parul though it's still difficult with her especially since I didn't get to meet her this trip. Though I still don't think I'm attracted to her. I think Ankitha is a bad bitch and hot af, but idk if I'm attracted to her either. It's really weird with Sarayu. It's almost as if I want to be in love with her because it would make my life easier or some ish. And because we're such good friends I think I just believe it'd work out?? but im actually not attracted to her. It's weird. I'm glad I figured all that out. It's been bothering me for a long time and ive been going round and round for far too long. But being far away from them makes it harder for me too. I don't really know any girls in Australia (or have a diverse set of friends like those I got to meet in America) which makes me uncomfortable/bored. getting back to the grind is going to suck as well. I've been partying non-stop since the 9th and it's been a total 2 weeks now. I'm not looking forward to going back to work, but I don't have any other choices. I can already feel the weight building in my chest. \n\nI wish I didn't have to leave my friends. thats what im going to miss the most. all the people i get to see and hang out with and love because i'm always so alone in Canberra.\n\nhah, that's enough moping. i gained so much strength from this trip and i feel like i solidified my base a lot. there's a lot to be happy for. there's also a lot to look forward to. and yet i feel compelled to be sad. \nI'm hoping to make a reat long post about all the places I went and people I met and things I saw/did and hopefully that'll cheer me up. I'm glad I got quite a few pictures because it'll be really nice to look back on. Gosh life moves so quickly...",

I've been thinking about this since I was finally able to hear what Soumya was saying about \"us\". i noticed that i started to get restless/frantic after and perhaps subconsciously was the reason i wasn't able to hear her for so long, because I knew that if i did really hear her i would have to start scrambling again. \n\nand then last night i cheeckily, but also absent mindedly said 'love you, night' to Pearl and that was a big no-no. in hindsight it was stupid thing to do, and she was worried that i was in love with her, which i am most certainly not, but i think its related to that similar necessity of a \"bedrock\". i think i wrote earlier about how i was still salty what happened, and i told her as much, but after telling her that i wonder how much salt remains. its hard for me to identify currently.

"text": "being back in bangalore has been a bomb. i really miss large cities and this is probs my favorite one since i know so many people and grew up here. it's really lovely to be back. seeing nani and the fam has been a lot of fun, even if it's only for a lil while. poopz is a total brat now though omg she's so difficult to deal with. starts yelling for literally everything and throwing tantrums. i dont think ive heard her and mum have one single conversation that didnt lead to a yelling contest. i didnt get to see a lot of my friends, but those i did get to see have been nice. i saw sireesh and his cousins and kishan and crew over the weekend. i got to see nandu and byoung and dohyun which was p cool. but asides from siree i met everyone only once which kinda sucks. but oh well. i do really like bangalore. \n\nwe went to bombay brasserie for lunch for christmas and that was nice. gosh the indian food here is soooo good and i really miss indian food.

It has been a depression day, but thats okay. I ended up having a nice time with dagaar and nikhil and i went to the gym in between so it hasn't been a totally useless day. i feel pretty happy relatively. we went to the city around midnight and i'd forgotton what that was like. so many drunk people on a thursday night all having a good time. i miss that. i want to go out more. i dont know if ill really get the chance that much, but id like to try. i think maybe when i get back one night ill just head out by myself and see what happens. the night is such an adventurous and yet relaxing time. i love what it does to people, the good and the bad. the day feels mundane and boring by most regards. something about lunar and solar differences. im certainly a moon person. i hadn't realized it, but thinking about it now it totally makes sense. most of my data is in personal apps that i keep to myself and are about myself primarily. i feel like i think about and do stuff related to myself a lot? but i guess i also dont really have any other alternative haha",

"text": "I had a very interesting dream. I woke up early like i usually do when work is on for some reason and it took me some time to fall asleep but i finally did and was dreaming.\n\nAnyway I cant remember exactly what the reason was, but I was upset and decided to go mute and not do anything or interact with people. We were back in our old BTM house and there was this pitbull there that i was talking to that i loved that turned into Simba. Then he went away somewhere and Mum and poop came out and tried to get me to interact with them but either I'd ignore them or walk away. eventually poop decided to pee on me but i still didn't respond so they gave up. \n\nThen I took a bus or a boat to some faraway land, I'm not sure where, and was being useless and listless and mute. I remember finding a tavern of some sort and hiding away in the attic. \n\nI think at some point I awoke to Yayu trying to wake me. I tried to ignore her but she wouldn't go away or give up. So i tried to leave but she kept following me around and refused to give up on me. I kept trying to ditch her by getting on busses to small villages and boats out in the middle of nowhere but she'd keep showing up. Eventually Ankitha showed up as well, and was both trying to help me and tell Yayu to give up at different points in time.\n\nEventually Sarayu finally broke me at a pizza hut and I smiled and hugged her, and then I thanked her for not giving up on me. And then thanked her for being so nice to me in my dreams in real life. ",

And I'm not sure how to build that momentum, it feels like I should've already been at high speed if I want to do the things that I do, but I'm moving too slowly. and that's really been bumming me out so I've been avoiding things and drinking mostly. I mean i had my assignment due yesterday and I did an alright job I think, but I've just been mopey and annoyed about having to do it. And I didn't do so well on my algorithms assignment and I have another one due very soon and I think i should be starting to sweat but instead I'm going into more of a who cares and what's the point zone and that's not a good place to be. \nOn a more positive note, I've been listening to a new song I found basically all day and it's beautiful and I love it. The song is Ultimately by khai dreams and i cant get enough of it. The song really feels like me. I was thinking I could sing one section of it to each of the 4 girls I've been seriously romantically interested in. I don't think i will do that, but i think that's what plays a part in why I love it so much, and it is a song about love.",

I'm also quite hungry which makes this difficult but I'll try to get back to sleep after I'm done. I've been sleeping since like 6pm and woke up around 2am so my sleep schedule is utterly destroyed, and tbh I haven't been getting enough sleep these past couple of days (or even this past week more generally) and I've noticied that's been making me very angry and irritable. I also haven't been getting enough exercise lately for similar reasons I haven't been getting enough sleep and that makes me sad and depressed. But when I don't get either of those two I become a self destructive and evil person. I don't like being that person but apparently I have to make sacrifices sometimes.\n\nI had more I wanted to write about but I forgot it. I feel like I've lost all the \"steam\" I had going for me this time last week, but perhaps made up for it in change to my place. Not enough I think, but that's the way it is I guess.\n\nEverytime I open Wire I get sad. Our relationship is largely over. I ruined it. And I don't think I can fix it. And even if I thought I could fix it I wouldn't know where to begin. I know I did this to myself and don't have anyone else to blame, but it still makes me sad.\n\nOhh, that's right, on the flight over here, there was this older man sitting next to me and we talked it up a bit. It was nice talking to him, about politics and the world generally, though we did gravitate towards tech a lot, and that was mostly my doing. In the past week I've had 2 nice conversations with strangers while travelling. I wonder why they're willing to talk to me now. I still feel a little nervous (though I was more confident today because I was talking to an older guy, instead of a hot girl?) but it's something I'm working on. Making eye contact makes such a big difference and is something I want to focus on.",

"text": "i read an article about journaling, specifically about asking questions and organizing your daily journal and while mine isnt daily, i think its a good idea. i hadn't thought of that before. i really should add more tags to my journal, but im nervous about doing so. \n\ntoday i went to the doctor for my wrists and got a brace and some medicine and its already feeling a lot better typing isnt painful (not that it originally was on this keyboard) but im not in constant pain and using the mouse is better too. i didnt do a whole lot else, i guess mentally preparing to move tomorrow. it hasnt fully sunk in yet, but by tomorrow im sure it will have. im kinda unsure about how this will go, but im looking forward to the change, which is probably why im not nervous about it. im quite tired already tonight. i think its the heat that is draining. plus when babu came over he was super lethargic and he infected me with it too. \n\ni keep feeling like theres something i should be doing, especially at this computer... im not quite sure why or what it is my body is telling me to do. maybe it's to do with punya or puralek but i cant quite motivate myself to get around to them. i also haven't been opening my projects/vimwiki file as much lately, perhaps because it is a vimwiki now and i cant access it easily on my phone?? im not sure, maybe i just dont want to do those things yet? im kinda hoping the moving houses will lead me to wanting to restart all those things, but maybe it's just age as well. i dont enjoy messing around with my computers as much anymore. i want to create things, not just operate/manage them. to that regard ive been learning about VCV rack which is hella dope and im excited about learning more. its very exciting being able to create electronic music like that haha. i think maybe it has to do with all the data im accumalating and organizing it? that is what puralek is about.\n\ndeath has also been on my mind a lot. im scared i wont make it through 2019, though i havent quite resigned myself to that yet -- though there is a sort of peace that washes over me when i think about it every now and again. mostly its fear though, i think. every so often it seems like i set an end date to my life. originally at 18, then at 21, and now 25 (mostly inspired by Isiah Rashad's \"Prayin that i make it 25\"). im going to talk about it with my counsellor. for the first time, despite being able to recognize that there are people that like me and care about me (which is normally not the case, and is especially surprising now since i feel like i have the fewest friends ive ever had my whole life) it doesnt actually tip the balance in favor of wanting to stay alive. maybe i think theyll just get over it, or actually maybe its more that this is about me and not them? which is weird to say because the reason im depresed, ostentatiously is that i dont feel like i have people that care about me? i suppose i really am full of contradictions. it may have to do with my belief that im fundamentally broken in some way, and that they cant fix it. and the only fix i can see...\nits weird as well because ive been having a nice time with my friends, and when im around them i guess im distracted enough not to think about it. but when im alone its scary. i think mastodon has been having a really bad impact on my mental state, and so i havent been using it as much, and have been considering deleting the app. i think i might do that. trying to stay away hasnt been the best approach in the past.

I was in a lush hotel room (which was mine) with most my QLD friends, and we were having a party and then it turned into an intervention? Most of them were telling me to ditch my other friends for reasons like \"they're not as good or as rich as us or you\" which made me really mad. I was batting away all their arguments and kept retreating to my room to take them on 1v1. I really enjoyed the verbal sparring but it was making me really mad that they couldnt understand my position. Strangely, it was Chantel that was arguing with me the most. During all of this Haikal was in my bedroom (we were dating? I defs kissed him) eating food and Elliot had brought a portable jacuzzi and wanted to try it out. It was a very strange mix of party, arguments and randomness that really confused me when I woke up. \nNow that I think about it, this verbal sparring is a common occurrence with the boys. ",

I was getting on the bus to go to Bunnings in Belco and my MyWay card didn't have any balance and so the bus driver decided to throw me out instead when an older lady named Margaret called out \"Do you need some money?\" and I was like sure. So after about 5 minutes of trying to get her shit together to buy me a ticket (and some clearly annoyed customers) she bought me a ticket. It was such a lovely gesture, and though I originally went to sit in the back, but I decided to move and sit next to her and we had a nice conversation before I got off. \nI'm really grateful for the kindness of strangers especially when just a little bit can go a long way at the right time.

Even though they were mostly small victories and just things i wanted to buy it was a good feeling of accomplishment. I bought some new plants and a stand for my bedroom, but i still want more. I also bought some aromatic candles to make my room smell nice, and also a shaver. During the day and interim between running chores I met Anshul for coffee in the day and then later at night Babu as well for a couple beers at Breachers (The new sports bar) even though it was dead eerie. I had a good time all across the day. I've also been permastoned all weekend which is fun, but i think its clear why it's a problem as well. I think between the bus incident and hanging out with friends I havent seen in a long time my mood has really been boosted. It's hard to explain, but quite clear as an experience. ",

"text": "arghhhh. I'm missing the really long recap I did on friday (??) and it's bothering me. I guess it didn't save or something?? I'm not sure, maybe syncthing just replaced it, but it's not in the back up file so I'm guessing it didn't get saved. I was expecting a conflict and when I didn't find it I realised it was missing. Grrrrr. This sucks. Oh well, on to better things I suppose.\n\nHmm, let's see. I still don't have Internet but a technician is coming on Tuesday to have a look at it and fix it up. It isn't so bad, I thought this would make me happier and to a degree it has, but I'm also way more restless, because I only have mobile internet which I've been using a ton. I'm not really trying to use it less, and being bored is probably a good thing, but I wanted to spend time doing things offline like organizing my music library or writing more or developing things or even just spending more time on uni stuff but none of that actually happened. Not terrible, just not the results I was looking for. Live and learn I suppose. There isn't a quick and easy way to to the things I want. Which I suppose I should've expected but alas. \n\nI got super drunk on Friday night after bouldering at Jonathon and Jeremy's place. It was really fun, but me and jeremy got kinda heated playing resistance. I'm still kinda salty about it tbh. I guess it's better that I don't remember what happened but it was pretty funny. Jeremy baited me so hard and he totally won the disagreement but it was pretty funny overall. Jonathon pulled me to the side and was basically like calm down bro its okay, but I was so stressed about it oh gosh. Me and jj have been getting into tiffs more lately and I'm not surprised by this, but we remain good friends regardless I hope. I was pretty cheesed at him, but now less so. I think it's good that games can get us to be like that, but maybe we shouldn't go so far. \n\nSince I got so drunk on Friday, it meant that I spent all of yesterday recovering. I was so fucked, I couldn't really do anything. I woke up around 3pm with a massive headache (I woke up once before but after peeing went right back to bed) and made some migs and hopped right back into bed. I then woke up around 6pm, got pizza from dominioes, ate that and was back in bed again around 8pm. \n\nThis meant that I woke up super early today, which actually turned out to be a good thing. I went to the gym really early, read a bunch, and then meditated and when I was getting coffee bumped into Cammy and Caitlin. I'm really digging my aesthetic today and they liked it too. Caitlin described it as \"living my best divorced life\" which I can get behind. I wish I could add pictures here (another thing for Yaad) but I'm looking pretty swaggy if I say so myself. Later today I'm heading down to Tabs' place for Logan's birthday party which should be good fun (which is why I'm dressed the way I am) and then after that I'll be going for board games at Cammy's place hopefully. Today has already been a good day and I'm looking forward to the rest of it happening. ",

"text": "This is a dream from Saturday when I was really hungover.\n\nI was in some sort of hotel room and there had been what appeared to be a suicide from somebody jumping out of the window. There was a detective and this other girl, who I remember waking up cuddled next to. After seeing the broken glass and broken tree on the ground I was somewhat upset (the person jumping was someone I knew?) but the girl I was with calmed me down and we went on a walk. I remember walking through a garden or park holding hands with her and feeling better and happier. We walked down into the sun, or at least some very bright light after which I woke up. \n\nEven though this was a sad dream, I woke up happy. This seems to be happening fairly frequently for me. ",

"text": "I'm beginning to enjoy work again. I'm excited about that. I think not having suraj harrass me makes the work much more pleasant. I had fun messing with the templates and the data and the queries. Having control of the whole workflow makes it so much easier... I have no idea why we're using nested lists, it's such an awful dumb idea. But oh well, nothing I can do about that. Work has also given me a good excuse to pick up tools I didn't need before. Today I learnt about jq and how to use it, which was cool. \nI really do enjoy programming, it's very fun. But I often forget that I have the power to decide things, since I have been inducted into the technical priesthood. I can look under the hood, and understand how things work and nothing is beyond me. I keep forgetting that, or not utilizing it. I think part of it is that I was so coddled as a child. I didn't know any better and left it to those that did. Another part of it is laziness, I think. But this is something I want to change and work on. And I think the more I do it, the more familiar I will become with continuing to be able to do it. This is why I admire Devine, because he's always able to take things apart and put them back again. That's really what I want to emulate. ",

"text": "It's been quite a while since my last entry so I guess I'll try to catch things up. \nI failed godmode may because I at first thought I missed 2 of my classes, but it turns out I didn't and then since I failed I fapped and then when I checked my email later that night it turns out that I didn't have one of my classes and didn't actually fail. It was the worst. But alright whatever I got over it. \n\nSince then I've had a bunch of assignments due, and have been grinding pretty much non-stop to get them done. I finally submitted my last one yesterday, but then of course because I didn't actually finish the implementation phase of my research project that came to bite me in the butt today. But now I have a list of websites and I emailed Peter and Roger about it so it should be fine. I also cleared out a bunch of my browser tabs but I still have quite a few left. But that's fine, that's kinda the way I like it. \n\nI also didn't go to the gym much over the past week, and as a result I was feeling kinda down about it, so I went on Wednesday and today and feel much better. Going to the gym really is an essential part of keeping up my mental health. I should also probably get back to sleeping before 11, since I've been going to bed around 2am most nights since I spend most my time talking to Parul. I think she's not going to come visit me anymore. Possibly as a result of being convinced by that (it's not certain yet), I think I'm beginning to get over her again. It may be unrelated to that, but I think it's true. I don't think I'm as crazy about her as I was even a week ago. But so it goes I suppose.\n\nOn Saturday I met Jeremy and we bought a carton of mixed beers and ended up spending like $87 each! It was a lot of money but it was sooo worth it. We tried a whole bunch of them and rated them and had a really great time. Jeremy couldn't believe that the sour beers were just beer, but I really loved them. Sour beers are my jam tbh, they taste just like cider and I love that. Even though we only got through one level of Halo I really enjoy just hanging out and talking with him. It's also a bit weird though, because he keeps bringing up the honorary aryan thing, and I don't think he's joking about that. I think he could be a nazi. It's weird being friends with a nazi, if it's fair to call him that (which I'm not sure it is). I guess I choose not to think about it too much, but if god forbid it did come to that, I don't think we could be friends, in fact I think it'd be worse, I think we'd be enemies. Kinda sad to think about that. \n\nHmm, I guess another thing that happened is Tanvir and Aathira broke up. They broke up for good reasons though because they wanted different things out of their relationship and it wasn't either of their faults. They're thinking of having a break up party. I think that's really funny. I hope the best for him to be honest, he's a good friend of mine. \n\nI guess that's everything? Oh wait no, I'm missing today. Jonathan came over and we jammed out to Mardy Bum for a while. It was a lot of fun and im glad Jonathan pushed me to both get a keyboard and keep playing. It was definitely worth it, even if just for the couple of hours a week we spend practising and playing together. it allows us to remain friends and hang out even outside of melee and i do enjoy his company.

"text": "feels like it's gonna be another bad sleep night. I've been having a lot of those lately which is not good. i imagine its to do with depression and stress but I'm not so sure. i still keep thinking about sarayu and it fucking sucks. I know she doesn't like me that much (if at all) and here i am tripping up about her for the 3rd night in a row. and even if she does like me (even if only a little) she literally just broke up with troy (i know i said this last time too) there's no way to expect her to be okay with or wanting to hook up. and then even if we did hook up there's very little we could do to be together. and that's really the crux of it. it's entirely and totally doomed and it's like i enjoy hurting myself or self sabotaging or generally just being a coward by somehow repeatedly falling in love with women i cant be with on the other side of the planet rather than try to find some one close to me. I keep thinking about all the ways she could say no and all the different outcomes like maybe we start making out and she decides we shouldn't. and then we just cuddle or hold hands or maybe we dont i go to find another bed. and then when i leave sf i text her wishing i was still with her instead of far away again. what's most likely to happen though, is nothing at all and we just hang out like friends like we always do and i dont bring up the courage to talk to her about any of this and i go on my merry way. I dont know what would be worse.\nof course because im actually a self destructive masochist, i still am not sure if i really want to be with her and her familiarity or if im just terribly lonely and projecting my desire for compainship onto a close friend that hasn't given up on me. ughhhhh this is classic me, i need to figure my shit out as always. \nthough even i have to admit if we magically somehow did end up together, the story we would tell our kids (look at me so easily i give up on not wanting children when it comes to her) would be absolutely adorable and the romantic in me loves that. ughhhhhhhhhhhh. lol. i think i need a hug. \n\ngosh i sound like such a dweeb going on about this woman. how did this happen and why is it always me? lmao. \n\ntime to try and sleep again, i think thats enough writing.

But it was fun meeting new people that maybe I'll see around. But yeah, since I was so tired I cancelled on Wibbles (we were gonna play music together today). \n\nI've also been thinking a lot about my information diet and slowing down consumption. I spend a lot of time that I don't want to either on Mastodon or HN or just reading articles that I don't really care about. I've got such a huge collection of data in all forms that I couldn't possibly consume, and that's fine, but I want to decide upon what I do consume and how much of it and how much I spend on creating. Not consuming at all may turn out to not be a viable strategy as getting in my head too much can lead to bad consequences.",

I'm trying to follow the GTD method more closely and am actively going through and dating my tasks so i have the next 3 or 4 days set up so i can come home from work and knock out the things i wanna do. the problem with productivity isn't a lack of time, but instead a lack of focus. If i can solve that I'll be much better able to achieve all the things i want to. \n\nhowever because of this, my web browser has been exploding with tabs. similar to how im focusing my time, having fewer distractions would help. i think my biggest one by far is mastodon now. since slack has been dead lately (woah that's a good story to tell) i mostly go between masto and hn. i sometimes go through my rss feeds but for one the gif viewer is broken on my phone and going through my browser is way too distracting on desktop so i havent been checking that lately. I have suuuch a huge dump of data just across the board and more constantly available but also coming at me. I need to trim the fat for sure. \n\nfinally today work wasn't that bad. there was actually shit going on and it felt nice to have some stuff to do and feel like I'm helping even if i made a few mistakes. but I'm learning and helping. I've also decided to be more productive with my time there and instead of mindlessly checking hn all the time, I'm going to try and do things i actually want to. so I'm bringing my laptop and working on stuff.

Anshul and Ishan (I really like him) have taken to calling me a Tiger and I totally dig it hahaha. i can totally relate to crawling around in the background watching carefully, until im totally ready to strike, and then I rarely miss and everyone is amazed. okay maybe that's enough feeling myself because some fucking girl (who's probably going to break my heart anyway) sent me a fricking email HAHAHAH. hahahaha i just browsed facebook again because of her. god she's actually gorgeous. she's gonna fuckin wreck my heart i can already tell. but im kinda excited by that? its been a long time since ive been excited about a girl after having met her more than once. its fun and im honestly just here for the ride. god im such a loser.\n\n...and i just remembered the point i opened facebook was for the party im planning on throwing this saturday. i did it! i only got distracted and went anushkas facebook after that. im hopeless!!! also she knows divya!!!!! how crazy is that, i get totally similar vibes from the both of them. they went to the prague international school together. that place seriously does something to people, its very interesting. \n\n...and then i ended up on charlys facebook page and ughhhh the heart strings are pulling in full force tonight. its fucking 5am now and i really should go to sleep, but i feel like i havent got my alone time so i havent yet. i also think i personally am an example against jj's theory of women only fucking upwards, (and hell, even cammy is) because (not only because im feeling myself for getting an email from almost certainly the hottest girl at the party, oh god i still cant believe it whats wrong with me, why am i such a hopeless romantic) even though im a ctach and a half, both her and charly were wayyyy out of my league. they could basically have any boy they wanted. and yet they chose me. hahahahahah, im just fucking awesome.\n\nokay enough feeling myself time to go the fuck to sleep, hopefully that'll be enough to make me fall asleep, though perhaps using the computer was a bad idea. i guess we'll find out",

"text": "Work is killing me. I'm really beginning to hate it. I'm looking at other opportunities now. I really regret Aaron talking me out of applying to Insta Clustr. I don't care about the clearance because I don't want to stay in Australia. I think I decided that recently. Looking at the money I've earnt and thinking about what I could spend it on, the one that appeals to me the most is moving to Canada. I'll probably need quite a bit of money to do that, and I don't know how much. But it means I'm gonna have to grit my teeth and bear it. It does build character and work ethic. Having to juggle university and work and artifex and gym and piano is too much. I have to focus on what I want. So I think I'm also going to tell Wibbs that I can't really practice anymore and so there won't be much point in us playing together. Maybe I'll take it up again in the break. I kinda want to. But I want to make electronic music. I don't really want to only play the piano. So that's that. I need to be more disciplined. I'm still kind of understanding what the work force is like, especially in the government and it has been an eye opener for me. People pretty much just stay in the same job forever. I'm not sure I could do that. In fact, I actively won't do that. I want to be more independant. Find a cheaper place and pay for it. I'm not entirely sure why though. Maybe I don't want that. I think I'm going to try and wake up a bit earlier tomorrow and get some work done. I really need to. I'm way behind on 4660. I need to do more things for my research project. I'm just so pooped after working all day. The worst part is the work environment is horrible for me to focus. \n\n\"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger\"\n\nI'm also not going to buy weed for a while, so that I stop smoking, or at least stop smoking as much. I'm not sure what I'll do around friends. I'll still be cutting back. It's a hard thing to commit to, but I'm going to. I have to find ways to replace it with something else instead of trying not to think about it. I'm sure I'll come up with something though. \n\nI had thoughts about being in an ivory tower of my own construction waiting for someone to save me but I decided that I didn't want to write it down. \n\nI also finished Shantaram last night!! I fucking loved it. It was unbelievably good and I learnt so much from it. I love India a lot more because of it. But now I'm not sure what to read next. ",

I saw this because i wanted to leave the graveyard early for some reason. also i say graveyard but ofc there were no bodies there, it was more of a temple, a place to remember the forgotten, and was covered in artifacts and letters from those still living to keep memories of those gone. anyways i saw the wizards pick off tons of people in the graveyard and decided to hatch a plan. we somehow got a big ass UFO to come get us not so far from the headquarters of the cult (the graveyard was v far) but it slightly crashed on landing and so couldn't take off again. instead we used it to browse thethe internetinternet and store data on CDs. shortly after that i awoke ",

"text": "ugh\n*sigh* \nToday Parul told me she loved me. I guess I should've seen it coming, especially since I was teasing her about how I love her inspite of her personality and because she's so sexy. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. My initial reaction was basically just \"Fuck...\". Mostly because we can't be together and it's driving me crazy, but also because I'm having doubts about what it would mean if she did actually come here. Even just the fact that she said it kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but maybe I'm just getting in my head too much. Nothing is going to happen though, because nothing can happen. She's not willing to trade in her visa to come to Australia (which is reasonable) and I can't just up and leave uni and work to go see her (and also because America sucks, but that's a different story). \n\nAsides from that mess, the day has been alright. I went to work, and then the gym, and then watched jj play FFX. I really need to be able to study/do assignments after work but I always just dick around instead. Spend a lot of time on masto/slack shitposting or just reading dumb articles on the internet. Day by day I will improve. That's what matters. I can do that. Godmode May is still going strong and I achieved my fitness goal this week already, which is nice. I've been doing all the others as well. So looking well for the Month of May, even though it's going to be very difficult between work, assignments and godmode. But that's what godhood is. ",

I remember Sarayu and Anika were there but the others also seemed like school friends. I cant remember why (I think it was driven by conversation rather than just chaos) but I decided to open the door. Anika was sitting by it and got sucked out the moment I opened it. I looked out the door and she was tumbling along the empty road. I remember panic and then jumped out behind her in a vain attempt to save her. The car drove away. The scene ended.\nThere was some stuff that happened in between and I was feeling terrible for what I did to Anika, but eventually got over it. \nThe next scene I remember was again back in school kinda? and we were watching a movie and sitting on the floor. I remember Se Joon was there and we started passing around a joint. I remember getting nervous because the teacher was quite close (and for some reason I related it to people I didn't know in authority positions like the Australian govt?) and I got really worried and paranoid and my friends didn't seem to care and just continued smoking and laughing.\n\nTalk about representational dreams...",

I kinda wish I was able to make a joke about it, but I was kinad caught off gaurd by it. I guess I should've expected that tbh, and I kinda wonder how it came up. Yayu's always pulling my leg about that time we kissed, and how I don't remember it (though I kinda do now? It's a bit odd I guess, perhaps I was lying when I told her that), and she's really flirty as always. I don't know how I feel about it. I wouldn't say I wish she wasn't but it doesn't help that she's dating Troy (not that that really matters since we couldn't be together anyway, and I'm not even sure I'd want that; ugh, lonliness is a terrible curse) and I guess I'm just going to be nonchalant about it. I don't think I really have any other choice. I do enjoy being friends with her. \n\nAfter that Jeremy picked me up and we went to the vape store to buy him some batteries and I picked up a charger and case for myself. We got GYG because they had $5 beers and burritos. Today was also the first day I tried L-Theanine. I'd say it made a mild difference to my focus, but I did get really tired towards the end of the day. We picked up Clare and met Aaron at the Cartier exhibition. That was pretty interesting. I had a nice time there. There's something I want to say but I won't write down for fear of it coming true, even though nothing really happened and it was just a vibe. Anyways, after that we went to a building by some architect, I can't remember who, that was really cool. It was like a hollow mound with lots of water around and in there, there was a huge conical place to sit. If you stood in the middle your voice would echo a ton, and it's almost as though you could hear yourself from behind. If you weren't in the middle it echo'd everywhere and was very discordant. It was really cool. \n\nAfter that me and Aaron left and got food at Match and spoke about jobs and things as we tend to do. Then qf scored $2k worth of Uber eats coupons and Russy bought me dinner! I'm so grateful to have generous friends that care about me. It's really sweet. ",

I'm sure I'll figure it out. \n\ni dont know why I've been unable to sleep at nights. I've been having a lot of productive thoughts at this time, but perhaps I'm also worried about uni. Being a solid 2 weeks behind on 3 of my subjects is not great and I have a lot of catch up work to do that though i believe I can, i may be stretched too thin to do all the things i want to do. I've been having many ideas about things i want to build and visualisation of data and stuff as well as blog posts and art pieces and stories. I've been thinking a lot about ane.ra (I'm now going to call it Yaad, as in to remember) about how blocks should be able to have arbitrarily fields (for things like date/time) but primarily focus on tags. they should also be able to be visualised or represented in many different ways and shapes. tags can be one kind of field and more can be added by the user. being able to import data from other places that allow data import would be a big one. this tool is going to be very lunar but i also want to empower users to create things rather than just consume.\n\ni lost my train earlier but i wanted to write a little about my dreams. i havent been having good dreams lately either. they're all sad and scary and not enjoyable. i guess to some degree they are nightmares but i dont know what to do about them. perhaps they're part of the reason i havent been sleeping well? I'm not sure. \n\nahhh that's right, what i was gonna say earlier was the lack of focus going on. what i need is a 4 week plan to get back on top of my shit. seems like I finally have enough shit going on that i need to quite strictly work out my days now in order to do the things i want to do? maybe not, but i certainly need more focus and having a 4 week plan is just enough time to figure my shit out i think. i think this is now my number one priority for tomorrow. tbh, i always say things like this at a time like now but i never follow through and maybe that needs to change. alright brain dump to re focus my energies on understanding what i want to accomplish.

"text": "Reflections (I like this idea)\n\nHmm, let's see, what did I get up to today. I had the OS tutorial in the morning that I was fairly late to, but at least I ended up going to my first class! Small steps. I did miss the document analysis lecture this morning, but thats fine I chalk it up to being sick. During the tutorial I met Tom, a familiar face I finally got to know. Turns out we have quite a few classes in common. He seems like a nice guy and maybe we'll become friends. We hung out while eating food, since we both had information theory to go to afterwards. I liked that lecture. Bob, the lecturer is quite good at explaining probabilities and how they all work together and also kept me engaged for most of the lecture. I look forward to attending more of his lectures. We also met the person who was sitting next to us in the tutorial, her name is Arenj? She's also doing a bunch of the same courses as me and Tom. I did end up going home directly after the lecture and do kinda regret that a bit. I wish I hung out with Tom some more instead but thats fine. I ended up getting high and relaxing a bit before going to the gym and settling down. I finally did a brain dump and have a good idea of what I need to do for the next 4 weeks to stay on top of shit. But it's always easier to write lists about things than it is to do them. So here's to hoping the next 4 weeks go swimmingly. \n\nI've also blocked mastodon, dashchan and hacker news on my phone through AFWall as part of the #slowinternet idea and I feel it's already helped a lot. Not constantly engaging online really opens up so much of my time, and I don't really miss much when I'm away. I need to practice it more as I did end up going back during my break times which isnt a big deal but something I want to continue striving towards. ",

We were dancing and drinking like usual and then Yayu took me aside and we were dancing somewhere else more private and then started grinding up against me and touching me and moving my hands across her body. When I was touching her boobs Kishan walked in behind us and got soo mad. He wanted to fight and I kept not wanting to and it was like HMS2 song \"I don't dance\". There was tons of flipping and spinning and I refused to fight until I swung but then I woke up.\nIt makes me feel bad all around. ",

"text": "I've been thinking a lot about my relationship with Riya lately. I'm still not sure what to do about it. Given the long term meaning, whether i'm ready to settle down, being in love with her, her trying to make me a better person (which often feels controlling to me), our arguments. There's a lot to unpack. We got into an argument over something very dumb the other day, about some off hand comment she made and how I reacted to it, and then her reaction to my reaction just devolved into an argument. From that I learnt that I would like her to ask about thiings in a way that isn't controlling (don't do it, think about it a lot, do a dry run sorta deal) and instead in a more caring way (are you taking all the precautions, is there anything that would be this safer, i want the best for you) because even though I know her intentions are never malicious, it's easier to interpret them in a negative light. I think a lot of our problems come down to communication. this is a pattern i've noticed with Manya as well, is that she'll just dump her issues or problmes with me, and I'll clamp up and turtle when it comes to my problems with her. I think I struggle with expressing myself when I'm particualrly emotional, and struggle to think clearly during those times too. but this, coupled with Riya's desire for solution oriented makes it tricky, because I can't find a solution in the moment, it's easy to forget about it and not think about it later and then just not come up with a solution. So that's something I've been working towards. \n\nThe other thing is whether I can give her what she deserves/wants/needs. Whether I'm ready to just settle down and get married and do the whole she-bang. To love her and put in the same amount of effort that she does with me. i think it's fairly obvious to me that she's more in love with me than i am with her, and thats a really big problem. i think especially now that we like just exited the honeymoon phase, what does it mean for us as a couple that i'm already falling behind in loving her? what does it mean for me? that I fall out of love quickly? i don't know, and i'm working to figure it out.

And at first we were having fun (we were in some kind of cyberpunk mall, and were exploring that) and goofing around but at some point I arrived at some weird morphed TISB world or something and I was a bit weirded out by that (I remember distinctly saying, Wait a minute i know this place, ohh it's TISB). And I was walking around abd saw a bunch of the old teachers (but they were all NPCs) until I met some kind of man that kept asking me questions and I didn't answer all of them and kept running and/or fighting, but if I won he'd reset the world and I'd be back to where I started. Eventually I learned to get deeper into the level by avoidng him and fighting certain things and doing some stuff when I realized that the person interrogating me was actually jj, and he had betrayed not just me but a whole bunch of people and then somebody from the outside (Clare?) sent me a message on how to break free and where to meet her. And so I escaped and met the person helping me, and we discussed some stuff when jj showed up at the end and there was this huge final showdown and we broke huge sky scrapers and it was epic and we exited the VR thing after we won.

"text": "today something pretty awesome happened. theres been this magpie in the pop up that ive been trying to touch, ive seen it in the smoking area and various places around pop up. when i was eating there today it flew to me and hopped up on the table. i thought it wanted food and since i was eating i was a little nervous about it being so close but i reached out and kept trying to touch it. we were communicating so hard, it was an intelligent bird and it saw me. when i put my hand closer to it, it pointed it's beak directly in my eye, very aggressive, but when i retreated it looked my through the side and raised its head feathers in a much more neutral stance. eventually it got to close and i got up with my food to leave and while i was doing that it was threatening to jump to the next seat over. as soon as i turned around with my food it jumped, so i sat back down. it was so funny, the bird (i need to name it) was like \"huh??\" and kept watching. and then i finished almost all my food and gave it a little and it ate it but it wanted more than just food as i came to realize. then other birds came and i let them have all the food, except the bird that i was interacting with didnt want anymore and was just looking at me, and it mirrored my movements as i left. it was so weird how much the bird copied me, and yet how different it was. \nanimals are amazing.

"text": "a lot happened today, and i meant to write this in Kitaab and finally switch over, but i didn't set it up with git hooks yet and since it's late i don't want to go down that rabbit hole. \n\ni could talk about how i woke up today thinking i had to work and then didnt have to, which was fucking awesome, but the really big thing that happened today was Greta exploding at me. She's an immature little brat that throws a tantrum anytime she doesn't get what she wants. this time it was about smoking weed on the balcony. she had told jxN to tell me not to, which he did and i generally dont, but i only had half a joint and couldnt be fucked going down but knew that i should expect some sort of confrontation. but i didnt not prepare for her to yell at me in the way she did, and honestly she gets no right to scream at me that way. she literally went full Karen. and i tried to find a reasonable mutually agreeable middle ground but there isn't any. i asked if getting a vape would be okay, but nope not even that is okay. it's her way or the high way. i'm done with her bullshit. im not going to be nice to her and not gonna eat any of her food anymore. i'm gonna do what i want and invite my friends over and have parties and not clean up if i dont feel the need to. she's a control freak and a brat and im done with her shit. maybe if she apologizes for her behvaiour i can forgive her, but even then i'm not gonna to make any effort to engage with her and try to be her friend. if she's in a good mood, it's fun hanging out with her and talking with her, but i don't want to engage with her at all anymore. the worst part is she doesn't even live here. if she doesn't like it, she can leave, or jxN can go to her house. whatever. \n\ni wonder if my tolerance for people's bullshit has gone down as i've gotten older. even typing this out is making me mad. i'm gonna vape a bunch indoors now too, and just not give a fuck. she certainly has more power than me, especially with access to jxNs parents, and if it comes down to it, i will sign a lease to ensure my rights, but even then it's not much in the face of a phone call to the police saying i've done drugs at this place (which she's more than capable of doing). i'll need to plan my steps accordingly. \n\ni dont remember ever having this sort of appetite for revenge. i wonder what changed.

"text": "i feel so many kinds of ways right now. its been a really good day. james and chtl came over after walking around the city and then we went back to theirs. but a recap isnt particualrly important. i had something that i was thinking about which i felt was profound. but i lost that train. it had something to do with adjusting to the shift. about how with some people here i feel the shift of me moving here has changed our relationship and we (I) dont know how to take it forward. i think in part thats what happened between me and chtl, but i also feel it with some other people. debs and kc, nko and jack. im still figuring out how to be with these people sorta. im getting better at it though. obviously, i was thinking about debs in particular tonight. i feel as though im holding back around her still, nervous energy, instead of the calm i usually am. i find that with these people work tends to be a common project. because before when i would only visit, we always had so much to talk about, and catch up on. and i love those kinds of conversations. but now that i live here, we have switched to less big updates, and weekly increments, which we haven't quite found the swing of. i wonder if my moving here has switched the sesh dynamics in other ways? i dont think so. but anyway. and i was thinking maybe i could bring this up, but i wonder if it'll be weird. but thats also part of its beauty, its okay if it's werid. because we want to get through that. but then its bad if it doesnt work. \ni also think i have to come out and say it. i think im attracted to debs, which is why im nervous. i know thats kinda forbidden, given im a friend of her ex (i imagine thats just off limits) but i like i said, i get nervous around her. i kept trying to sit next to her to feel things out and pretend to be confident and as though im not focusing on it, even though i obviously was. i got a sense she did some of the same. its' like we both want to talk to each other in the way we did before, but we're not quirte sure how. i used to be able to switch it on super hard, and get people to talk to me, even when grilled, but it hasn't worked since i moved. ive forgotten my points of conversation. back they will come back to me, of that i am sure. i think me and debs could be really good friends, and i want to see us get there. i may be projecting and reading into this but i felt she also tried to sit close to me, and was also nervous around me. i noticed she also is always down to hang out when im going? but i bet im just reading into that. ughhhh, this is also probably partially why i want to break up with riya... even though i know theres nothing between me and debs, its just... i miss physical contact. \ni think me and chttl getting through that as well. we smoked a doobie today, which was dope, and she generally seems almost back to the same comfort level, which im happy about.\n\ni wonder if \"tracking\" my friends like this is weird. i think it's just charting our relationship, and trying to apprecaite them when i can. thats how i justify it.\n\nanother person i want to thank is jxN, because i really do like living with him and i dontt think i've ever told him that. i cant believe we went to japan together wayyy back when. he's cool, and i like hem. \n\nasides from that, i had a really good day today. i felt particularly joyous, i think it was all the sleep. i hope to feel that way again tomorrow if possibel.

"text": "FUCK. My last Tiddler didn't save. Gotta remember to do that. It went something like this:\n\nSo, uhhh, Parul just told me she's loved me for a long time, and even though I really like her a lot too (see how I'm avoiding a certain word?), I'm not sure how to react to that to be honest. I mean I always kinda suspected it, and especially today when we were talking about falling in love with others, it was p clear that she implied she's liked me for a really long time. But for to just come out and say it? i didnt expect that. it takes a lot of balls. I gotta respect that. She said she didn't even want to admit it to herself. \nShe said she'd been going on dates to try and fall in love with someone else. I guess a lot of her actions and little things she said make sense in that context. I remember that time she asked if we'd still be together if we didn't break up, and i said i didnt think we would be and she said she thought we would be. Small things like that. Plus it seems to call into question our relationship now, because i think it only came about because I admitted to her that sometimes I day dream about her being here. Also, weirdly it makes me like her less. I know that's awful and terrible but I think it is the truth. Hmm, maybe I'm just more weary about her. Not necessarily like her less, because I still do like her a lot. I don't know, it just feels messy and puts me in this weird position I guess. i think we'll get through it, especially since we're really good friends, but also because we can't be together. She also said she hoped that I fell in love with someone else (but only because I said the same thing to her). Man our relationship is really weird. and there's just nothing we can do about it. it really hurts. I just wish she was here. that would solve all my problems. ",

"text": "OMG. so well, this is a day old information at this point but I didn't get to writing it yesterday. \n \nI MADE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND OF THE ASD JOB!!! I'm glad to know I shouldn't listen to my imposter syndrome and should just try to keep making progress and sending out the applications i am, because I do have marketable skills and know what I'm doing! It's basically everything I want out of a job, so I'm really hoping I get it. I'm quite hopeful, because it's only a 15 minute interview so it'll probably be a culture fit sorta thing, and I believe I can interview well. \n\nIt's probably made me even lazier with the whole job search thing, but that's okay. It's boosted my confidence immensly. \n\nOther than that I still feel very disorganized with regards to my hobbies. I have a lot of things I want to do and still feel I pay attention to too many feeds instead of getting to work on the things I want to do. I think I'm going to start using pomodoros for even my personal projects and stuff, because I seem to get lost in them a lot (which isn't a bad thing at all, but I'd like to make progress at the same time too) Today for example I was messing around in nixOS and couldn't really figure very much of it out, but I'm learning. \n\nOn the Manya side, I told her to give me some time because I was upset that she won't respect my self care practices. I'm going to text her tomorrow and talk it out, hopefully she doesn't get offended. I'm also annoyed at her constant apologies, it's like she just says the words and think thats enough, so I'll talk to that about her too. Since I will not be going to SF if I get this Sydney job, it's worth investing in this, even if I don't believe there's a relationship to be had here. I do like Manya, she's a nice girl, but sometimes she drives me up the wall. \n\nalso I bought the onyx note pro 😁\nstill waiting on my fx tec pro1 🙄\nthey'll probably arrive at a similar time now ",

"text": "another day of this hey. im not even mad about it hahah, i'll get around to it. the end of 1 week of my kendrit for vim is coming up. I have exactly a week left. I certainly feel like there isn't enough time in a day for all the things i want to do. i was thinking about if i also had to cook food i wuold literally not have the time for anything i wanted to do. like today, i got a haircut, made some buchi, nic'd my juice and tested music-pull and that's basically all the time i have in the day. i took a shower, didn't even exercise and ate food. i hate living for the weekend, it fucking sucks. i want to fuel this to create my alternate lifestyle, but in order to do that i will need to spend less money and invest the money i have. fuel and focus. hah. i like that. \n\ngreta still hasn't shown up, and im glad i got to vent to all or most my friends. i still haven't told jeremy, and jxn has been fairly sad the days since, but i dont know if its just cause of his uni assignment or something else... i hope he cheers up, i dont like when he's sad. i also noticed he put away her cake and foods after i ate one. i wonder if it's because i showed him one was going bad (i doubt it), or more that he told her and she told him to put it away so i dont eat anymore. i think thats funny. i am a little sad that i decided to break not eating her food...\n\ni also noticied i have good days at work when i can really focus, and bad days when i cant do anything. i can't quite figure out what makes a day go one way or the other, but i think i'd like to try harder? i dont know, i find it difficult to care about my career. like i was complaining above, and i want more time to do my own things. perhaps if i worked harder i could leave work earlier and then work on my own thing? i'm not sure. \n\nchan contacted me again last night, it was lovely. i love catching up with my old friends. he's been doing well, doing a CV internship in korea still. i miss that lil bugger haha. i miss a lot of my friends. i really wanna make indian friends. maybe i should try and do that tomorrow. i'm still not good at doing my 1thingaday, or even knowing what it is, but it's all part of the system building process. i also spend a lot of idle time on my phone, especially between pomodoros, and inevitably end up scrolling some feed or another. i kinda don't like that, but find it hard to commit to a thing because i know the break is short (even if i extend it) \nthough i was thinking about that, and i still also do believe that is one of my strengths. just thinking about how jeremy was setting up linux and he was asking me random stuff about it, and i always knew something about it. and how woodley wants to get to know me better, i feel in part is because i'm so online and can relate to so many things. maybe it's not all bad. if so why do i feel like it is bad? how can i feel less bad about it? \n\ni'm trying to go climbing at 6am tomorrow so i must go to sleep now!!! its already midnight!!!!! :(",

"text": "I'm tired and high and just about to go to sleep. I want to say I'm trying to organize my life and categorize things so that they dont feel astronomical and like its all falling apart. I wish I could blame all these problems on a lack of tools or understanding instead of will power and resilience. I still feel quite sad often and struggle to both be around people especially for extended periods of time. I've noticed lots of my friends have been making me sad lately and I think it's more just me not knowing how to deal with myself around other people as well as when I'm by myself. I spent a little time today being productive and I feel good about that. It turns out that I don't have any devices on which I can watch dumb youtube videos since the sound on my desktop is broken and youtube changed their player which broke all my apps. I often face turbulent challenges that are greatly outside my control and I have to understand that the decisions I've taken mean they're more likely to occur. I don't know whether that means I should reconsider those decisions or double down. It seems like I could really use a break from everything that isn't intensly personal so I can focus on myself for however long it takes to figure this out but I don't even know if that is the solution. Who knows how long it'll take me to get my own shit together by myself and what if that's not the solution? Bridge building is difficult, and I have chosen a difficult path for myself. How do I approach the challenge I've set out for myself? Already defeated and tired from having come to this point? How then can I expect myself to face and win my own challenges? When I am both the one desiring difficulty and the person failing to deliver on my own goals, it is twice as painful. For my desire of difficulty rises so as to overcome past mistakes and show improvement, and the belief I have in myself drops and continues to think that if I couldn't do the last one how could I possibly attempt the next one suffieciently well? This seems to be the dual nature of my perspective. Desiring challenge and novelty but unwilling to believe in my own success. \nI would like to write further about the people I choose to surround myself with as this is another aspect of what I consider to be reasons for my bleakness, at least partially. But even with this I am left to dwell on the problem that is me.",

"text": "i havent been journalling much lately, and i think thats because i often turned to my journal when i had very negative feelings, but thats been far less common these days so I don't feel the need as much. its interesting though, journalling used to be such an outlet for me and now i dont find it as necessary. maybe because im feeling my emotions more on my own, or maybe im able to share them more with my friends making this less useful. or perhaps ive simply fallen out of the habit of writing ever since living at reid because i couldnt use my computer as much. i havent been using my computer that much lately either, and i think partly thats because its in a semi broken state and i havent got nixOS working on it yet and dont really want to have to decide to move everything even though it shouldnt be that hard, im afraid of the discomfort of switching, especially getting off of bspwm and reconfiguring my keyboard because i know that will be a whole ordeal. i think i need to just dive in one day (maybe tomorrow?) and go at it and i'll be fine. i dont know its a weird feeling around me and computers a bit lately. maybe just my main desktop is less appealing now that i have a nice laptop?? i dont really know. \n\ni do want to get back into it, and will get around to it. im sure. \non further reflection i also have other places i write things now. i write in kitaab and also in dvlg\n\nalso gerd inspired me to finish downwell (beat the boss) so ive been practicing that\n\nspeaking of slack! they finally fucking banned lav, which makes it a much more pleasant environment now. im very happy with the change, even if slack is still sort of reeling from the damage. gerd was the one to do it just all of a sudden as a gift on caelens birthday which was excellent. i feel very powerful in slack and almost as though im being challenged (especially by tsering, but thats fine) which is an interesting experience since i was the one clamouring for his ban the loudest. its kind of a bittersweet feeling in a way, because its still certainly othering. but im okay with that. it turns out we are somewhat dissimilar as the whole lav event taught me. but theyre still my friends and i love them.
