Getting Through the Gloom: Because Life Won’t Pause for Sad Days

 Some days just suck. You wake up feeling off, and suddenly, everything feels ten times heavier. The smallest things get to you, and before you know it, you're on the verge of tears—over a misplaced charger. But here’s the catch: life doesn’t stop just because you’re sad. You still have deadlines, responsibilities, and that annoying voice in your head reminding you that breaking down isn’t an option right now. So, what do you do? Step 1: Accept the Mood, But Don’t Let It Win Feeling sad? Cool. Don’t fight it. But also, don’t let it set up camp in your head. Acknowledge it like an unwanted notification—swipe left and move on. Step 2: Function on 'Bare Minimum Mode' Not every day is about thriving; some days are just about surviving. Eat something, drink water, do the essentials, and call it a win. If the only thing you accomplished today was existing, congrats, you did enough. Step 3: Distract, Distract, Distract Too many feelings? Throw some noise at them. Play music, binge...

The Chronicles of a Convenient Human: A Tragicomedy

There comes a time in life (or every other Tuesday) when you sit back, reflect, and realize—wait a minute—I am everyone’s convenience store. Need emotional support at 2 AM? Sure. Last-minute project help? Of course. Oh, you remembered me only when your real plans bailed? Fantastic. It’s that phase where you feel like despite being genuinely good, always showing up, and having the purest intentions, you somehow end up being the backup plan instead of the main character. And the worst part? You don’t even get paid for this full-time role. The Art of Being Convenient Being a "convenient person" is like being a Wi-Fi connection—no one notices when you’re working, but the moment you stop responding, everyone loses their minds. You’re there for people when they need you, but when you need them? Crickets. Absolute radio silence. Maybe even a "bro, I was just about to text you" (spoiler: they were not). You’re reliable but not prioritized, appreciated but not always valued,...

Chaos, but Make It Organized!

Let’s talk about organization—or, as I like to call it, chaos in a tuxedo. Because, let’s be real, nobody truly has their life 100% together. We all have that one drawer that’s basically a Bermuda Triangle for pens, chargers, and oddly, a single sock. But if everything in life is that drawer, well… good luck finding anything (including sanity). Now, I’m not suggesting we all turn into those people who color-code their bookshelves by mood (seriously, how?). But having a somewhat structured system makes life significantly easier. Imagine actually knowing where your notes are instead of reenacting a treasure hunt every time you need them. Revolutionary, right? The trick is to embrace the chaos, but in a controlled way. Like a jazz musician who seems all over the place but still hits the right notes. Your planner can look like a crime investigation board, your room might have “organized piles,” and your to-do list might be scribbled on the back of a receipt—but hey, if it works, it works! ...
