Not Good but Not Bad February 20, 2022 Today is Sunday, and for less than an hour it is Monday again. I woke up late because I slept late also last night. When I woke up, I know I have something in mind, a list of things I "wish" to do. Yes, I quoted the word wish because it is always part of the wish list, lol. Wish list means, it is not available for now, it might be in the future or in real life, it might or may not happen.
Part of my wish list of activities are to read Almonds, a novel. It didn't happen. Also, part on the list is exercise, check! I did it. Another on the list is being active on noise.cash for an hour, check! I did. Also on the list, to continue to learn the choreography of the song GoGo by BTS. Failed, I failed to do it. Taking down notes of possible writing prompts is part of the list too, but of course, I failed. In the afternoon, the weather is in the middle of hot and cold. My dog kept looking at me and asking me from the way she looks at me to prepare our bed. When I prepared the bed, the bed says "sleep". Yes, I heard it, the bed says sleep so I follow it.
I woke up at 7 in the evening. Before the sleeping time, I felt a sudden change of mood. I told you that I have a wish list of activities but I remember something that change my mind. I become tired and sad that leads me to become lazy. Even BTS content can't make me happy at that moment. Actually, I'm not really that sad, I just feel sorry for myself. I am in the stage that I can't appreciate what I have and I am looking for others, on what they have, that I don't have. In other words, I felt envious of someone and some people. I started to question my ways of life, why I am poor, why I am not that rich, why I am like this, why do I feel sad immediately, and there comes a time that I felt it is useless to feel that way and change my mood again. Then I stop because I realized I didn't come a long way to feel this discourage this way. To all the hard work and determination, it might not be 100% but I did what I have to do so this is just my results. Of I did pushes myself more, maybe the results is not good, but amazing.
I guess I am just being a critic of myself. I see something good with someone and I compare myself to them. Effortless they get what they want, while me, working too hard and this is just what I get. I am not satisfied. I don't know what kind of effort is the word "more effort" and how can you explain the word "more determination and perseverance" when I am doing it in my entire life. Yes, I don't know what to do anymore. I decided to sleep because the bed say so. I woke at 7pm and still having that kind of thoughts and burden that I felt earlier. I played music in my playlist, reshuffle it because I want to listen to new music. I want to refresh my mind. Maybe later or maybe tomorrow I will get back on my feet. This kind of situation is not good but not bad. Not good because you feel you are not doing your best and despite you thought you did your best, it is always not enough. Not bad because it is the time of re-assessing yourself, your mindset, your plans but not your goals. Also it is time to change habits and lifestyle. I rest my case. Hi guys, these are my sponsors!! I'm glad that I still have them. I'm always grateful for their support and to you my readers thank you for supporting my articles. Images from Unsplash

So your mind is filled with these negative thoughts, I hope you soon felt relieved from this heaviness.
I just need to be really busy to forget all about this sis.
When you give your best and still come out short, you sometimes loose faith to try more harder.
Yes, that it is exactly. I will take a rest and will try again.
Good, wish you all the best dear friend.
My dear friend, don't worry about life and the future. Each person's lifestyle and circumstances are different. So don't compare yourself with others, and try to find your strengths, expand them and be proud of who you are.
Yes, it is better to find my strength and re-assess to a more realistic goal based on my effort.
Don't stress yourself too much sis. Everything will get better. Fightinggg!
Yes sis, everything is good. There are only times I feel like it.
Fighting sis! Do not over pressured yourself. Always remember that wea re the same status of comparing our capability with them but then always minds as well that we have differents paths, timeline and timing.
You are correct sis, we are not the same when it comes to timeline and timing is important
Fighting! I'm like you as well. Me maybe because I'm on my way to 40's kaya in distress ko sarili ko. Andami kong gusto, andami kong iniisip. Hanggang napagod na ako. I will take it easy but wont stop.
exactly sis, ganyan ang nararamdaman ko sis. Akala ko madami na kong nagawa, madami na akong effort pero hindi pa pala, malayo pa pala ako, nawawalan ako ng gana pero magiging okay din ako.
