This Time, Distraction Saved Me
Sup, how’s your day? The market is not that pleasant to the eyes isn’t. Well, I agree. I guess that’s how the crypto works — you just need to get used to the roller coaster emotion induced by the market. It’s either you will continue or just quit.
Anyway, I would not write any topic regarding cryptocurrencies today. Aside from the fact that I am still a noob regarding this stuff, I am also poor at discussing some complicated terminologies and turning them into simpler ones. BUT, like the emotion we’re experiencing now because of crypto prices, my topic today will also revolve around my up and down emotions.
Today is not a great day for me. Upon waking up and opening my smartphone, I received hundreds of messages from this person. The notification is consecutively appearing on my notification bar making my device slow and laggy, so I have no choice but to wait for it to stop before opening my messaging app.
This person confessed something. He explained what really happened, apologized, and ask for my forgiveness. Given that I just woke up, my brain cells are not yet functioning well. I don’t know what to feel about it. Should I be mad? Should I forgive, again? Should I cry?
I don’t know what to say. I just found myself putting aside my smartphone. Then, I proceed on fixing my bed. After that, I went downstairs with no thoughts, feeling groggy as usual.
I found my father and brother watching the NBA finals between Golden State and Boston Celtics. Since I am not interested in basketball, I just left them to mind their own business. I went directly to the kitchen to check if there was something to eat. Luckily, I found a loaf of bread, which is not bad given that I seldom eat a heavy meal in the morning. If I am not mistaken, nutritionists suggest eating at least two loaves of bread to meet the daily nutritional requirements. I won’t be surprised if I am malnourish hahaha.
I am in the middle of the trance when I hear someone shouting at the gate.
“Shopee delivery!”
I remembered that my mother ordered a portable sewing machine. She said that instead of just throwing the ripped clothes that are stored in our cabinet, maybe she can repair or recycle them. Aside from the fact that it's good for the budget, you are also helping in reducing planet waste.
We checked the package if there's no sign of damage. Upon opening the parcel, we are delighted that it's fine and has complete accessories. I also tried the sewing machine and it worked perfectly. Although at first, I have a hard time figuring out how to use it 😅. Thanks, to online tutorials.
Before proceeding with my clothes, I tried doing some stitches to the sample fabric. Fortunately, I did it correctly.
By the way, I think of making some bucks by using this sewing machine. I just don’t know what to do exactly. Comment below if you have any ideas. Thank you!
My mother called us for lunch. This is also the time when I remembered the messages I left seen earlier. I texted him back, asking for time to let me process what he confessed.
I finished my lunch early. I already gained the energy to face and reply to his messages. I took a deep breath to make myself calm as long as possible. But knowing that you feel betrayed and lied to, I can’t force myself to keep my composure. The exchange of messages heated up making me feel tired with shits. I told him that we should take a break for a while. I muted his messages just to stop the overwhelming conversation.
The thing he confessed finally started to sink in. Instead of letting myself get drowned by the thoughts and sadness, I decided to distract myself. What do you think is the best thing to do to ease the pain away? For me, cleaning.
I assembled our vacuum and started eradicating the bags of dust in our room. I love cleaning but I hate when I am starting to get soaked with sweat. Ugh, the sticky and uncomfortable feeling. Tapos idagdag mo pa yung init ng panahon hahaha
After that, I decided to roam around our place using my bike. It feels good if you're doing something aside from staying on your phone. It's been weeks since I had an exercise so this is a good start.
An hour after biking, I decided to accompany my mother in roaming our dog to the nearby grassland to let our pet release his pee and poop. Here are some of the pictures that I took.
At the end of the day, I felt better. I even finished this article. Despite what happened earlier, this time distraction saved me.
