🫀010: Before I forget
To be absolutely frank with you, after a month of patient-facing work, it feels like I don't know what to write about anymore.
I miss writing. I miss the buttery smooth feeling of typing on this keyboard. I miss sitting in silence and crafting pretty words
Mind you, I'm loving my job at the hospital, minus a couple of oddities. But there's just always something happening, all the time. It's go time from my morning bus ride all the way till work ends.
So yes, I do miss the quietness of sitting alone on the bar stool of a cafe, shutting out the world around me, and just, rest, and write.
The greatest irony is, with all that I've experienced in the past month and all the thoughts that have went through my mind, I'm at a loss of words when it comes time to sit down and translate those mind connections into words.
But I knew I had to try somehow.
So I wrote this 👇
I wrote it in the hopes that I won't forget. The fire, the flames, the heat of a thousand suns. Heat borne of fresh enthusiasm and also a stressful-but-manageable work induction.
I need to be reminded. Lest the embers turn into spent coal.
Here's to working hard, documenting frequently, and remembering even more.
​
With love, joy, and hope,
Mich

Hello you! Since my last email, we've moved from one side of the island all the way to the other. We're very near the beach now, just a 10-minute walk away. So I'm very thankful. I'm not a sand-in-my-toes kind of person. In fact, I don't enjoy the feeling of sand in between my toes. For me, being near the beach is more about the sunrises and the sunsets. Actually, scratch that. It's all about the sunrises and the sunsets. During one of my morning runs I absolutely love the movement of the...
Hello you, happy Saturday! I hope your week went by productively and you're gearing up to a well-deserved weekend. So I did a thing. A few things, actually. ONE. Remember I mentioned a project about dealing with pesky student loans last week? Yeah, I created this post on my personal website. For accountability and also for tracking purposes. In it, I've also documented some money rules I created for myself to follow in 2022. All that to say.. feel free to call me out if you see me breaking...
Recently I've been binging a podcast called "I Have ADHD Podcast", for reasons I'll touch on in Whimsical Wednesdays this week. It's run by Kristen Carder, certified life coach and ADHD advocate. The episode I'm referring to specifically is one where she discusses about prioritising and making decisions as adults with ADHD. There was a line in it which really struck me. I can't exactly remember the entire quote, but it went something like this: "If you're allowing external circumstances to...
