A Diary of Sorts

February 18, 2026

Check that out, a 2 day post streak! I don't have a ton to talk about today, partly because today isn't over! But I had a few thoughts this morning as I was getting ready: People say "I wish this week would hurry up." I get why they say this. They are tired of work/school and just want to get to the weekend. I get it. But embrace the suckage, man! Life is fun and sucky. You gotta take the good with the bad. Why would you want to speedrun your life and basically just live for the weekend? Live for both. That's all.

I journal almost every day, and as of recent it's gotten kind of addictive, honestly. So now I've got yet another way to do it. Cool! But this will likely be far more sporadic, just cause I know I'm going to forget to update this and I don't want to spend a bunch of time writing crap in here. I'd also like this stuff in here to pertain more to the actual content on the site rather than just random thoughts that pop up in my mind. Those are reserved for my actual pen-and-paper journals. But let's talk about my little story, The Hamster Wheel. I've been writing about 2 "scenes" a day just about, and I go until I get mentally tired of writing, which to me is a good place to stop and take a break when it comes to any mental or creative task like that. Art, writing, making and/or recording music. Motivation, I believe, is a bit of a myth though. It takes discipline to get started, and for me personally, once I get over that initial hump of forcing myself to sit down and start on something, I get caught up in it, and then it's hard to stop, like a snowball rolling down a hill. Not that I have much experience with snow and snowballs, growing up in the south. But anyway... Writing, I've found, after getting over the initial cringeworthyness and insecurity of it, really does get addictive. But I'm not gonna lie, I struggle sometimes to get things down just the way I want them and then have them actually be fun to read. It just takes patience and a lot... A LOT... of revision. Hope you enjoyed reading my brainsludge! Have a great day.
