~✧°+* 33/100 days of doing better*+°✧~

(this post is written several days in retrospect)
Whenever I visit my family for longer periods of time it's usually around bigger events. Christmas, Easter, birthdays. This time around it's my sibling's birthday and an air of planning, organizing and setting things up in advance controls my day. In all actuality, it has more of an indirect effect on me. I think what I'm experiencing is called waiting mode? This state your in when you have something planned later in the day and can't do anything in the morning because of it. That's what I'm going through at the moment, just that what I'm wating for is days ahead.
Positive things I did today:
put some things up on ebay
did the laundry
Hours slept: ~9hrs Screentime: ~6hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~700

Another not so great day. Sometimes bad days, unproductive days, days that make you feel sad and lonely, just pile up. Sometimes you have four, five, twelve of them right back to back, and sometimes you have none for months. But regardless of how frequent they are, eventually they'll pass and you'll go back to calm days, to productive days, to happy days.
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo Spanish streak going
called my parents
did the laundry
tried baking cookies (and failed horribly)
played minecraft with a friend
Hours slept: ~7hrs Screentime: 6hrs Steps taken: ~900
I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.
I think its very academia to say Fuck Capitalism.
If it wasn’t for the capitalization and privatization of education and reading, we would probably all be eternal students.
So yeah, fuck capitalism!

Managed to have a really, really good Sunday!
It was a nice combination of productivity and leasure. Went out to get coffee with a friend in the afternoon and managed to get some work for my essay done. Very, very minor things, but I managed to come up with a working thesis for now. More research will show if I can use it.
We also found these Sailor Moon sodas! Our little weeb heart jumped at that.
My friend also introduced me to notion. I'm still a bit overwhelmed by it but managed to set up one page and it's a lot of fun! Maybe I'll show it off once I have more to show

So, Freunde der Sonne, mal kurz Tacheles.
Dass AfD Nazis sind ist ja nun indiskutabel und nicht hinterfragbar, dass sie sich mit reichen Leuten zusammentun yadda yadda, alles keine Überraschung. Überraschend ist an der Correctiv-Geschichte im Grunde nur, dass sie sich bei ihren Vertreibungsplänen, Plänen zur Wahlmanipulation und Sturz der Demokratie generell haben erwischen lassen.
Nichtsdestoweniger. "Nix Neues" und "Keine Überraschung" darf nicht davon abhalten, JETZT sein/ihre*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n zu kontaktieren und ein AfD-Verbot zu fordern.
Übrigens kann man seine*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n ganz einfach über die Bundestagsseite finden (nach Wahlkreis suchen). Dort sind auch Kontaktmöglichkeiten direkt vorhanden:
https://www.bundestag.de/abgeordnete
Wer einen Vorlagentext braucht, darf diesen hier verwenden bzw. natürlich für die eigene Person passend abändern (courtesy of @bauhausmensch@norden.social auf Mastodon). Hab ich auch gemacht, hat alles in allem 5min gebraucht.
TUT WAS! JETZT!

A very, very eventful day! A friend of mine is staying with me for a few weeks to cut down on commuting costs while she's attending a block course at our university and the whole day revolved around getting things settled and prepared for that.
I didn't get anything productive done because of that but it still felt like a very successful day!
Getting jump scared by the Mollymauk/Lucien book just sitting between Sally Rooneys at the book shop also added some spice to the day.
Positive things I did today:
spend time with friends
went for a walk
Hours slept: ~7hrs 30mins Screentime: ~3hrs Steps taken: ~13.800
I saw god yesterday
She came to me in a
dream, kissed me on the head
And whispered everything
will be alright my child
Hey you. You know you should be doing The Thing. I don't want to do The Thing, either. But we can sit down and do it for 2 minutes together. Then we can do it for 5 minutes. Then 10. And so on and so forth until it is done. I'll be coming back to reiterate this.
To whoever needs to hear it: it does not have to be perfect. It does not have to be world altering. It just needs to be done. And I'll sit with you while you do The Thing.
Now go. Stop scrolling. Go work on The Thing. I'll be back to check on you and cheer us both on.
