Diary of my Life

Today I woke up and the first thing that was on my mind was the journal entries I had to do. I was definitely not looking forward to it so I had a decision to make. Whether or not I would do them and on time so I wouldn’t fall behind. This clearly was an important decision I had to make. Instead of doing what I usually would do I decided to tackle the task. So I decided to go ahead and start my journal entries. The fact that I actually decided to do them showed me that I’m not that bad of a person when it comes to responsibility. I saw that I had a task and I tackled it full force. The one thing that led me to make this decision was the fact that I thought about what if I didn’t do it? The consequences I would face would clearly be severe and I wanted to avoid that all together. So I just decided to start it. This was definitely the best decision I could make based on past lessons I have learned from friends, family, and school. Procrastination syndrome is truly a thing. Many people including myself suffer from this so by just starting this I think I showed myself something I fail to see often. That I do have the willpower to do things I have to, and I do know right from wrong. Also that by just getting the task done I will feel better at the end of the day. Overall, today was a good day because I started this. It is a great feeling knowing I am closer to being done with something that I was assigned. It made me feel proud of myself and realization definitely hit me a little that will be what I do for a while.

Today was a nice day. Instead of staying in and sleeping in like I usually would do I decided to get up and do something. I made myself some breakfast and played video games. Which is always fun. But even though its fun I don’t think it was the best decision I could have made being that it was such a nice day and I wasted part of it on just playing with video games. Although it’s not necessarily the end of the world and at least I was doing this instead of sleeping, it still felt like a waste of time. The good news is that I didn’t do this all day. Towards the early afternoon I decided to go outside and meet up with my friends and play some basketball. Which is probably my top favorite sport. I enjoy being active and I’m also very competitive. Being out there with my friends and other people I had just met on the court felt great. I felt like I was a little kid again just a lot better this time around. So for the better part of my day I spent it doing this. Although I was incredibly tired by the time I got home I felt that this decision was definitely a great one. It showed me that I can still get out there and have fun with my friends and do stuff I enjoy. I got to reconnect with people I haven’t seen in a long time as well as meet new people. I learned that I can still do what I love like play video games but balance my time. Which is something many people lack; balance. It could be hard to maintain several things at once but today I felt accomplished. Definitely will be doing more of that.

Today I woke up sore from the playing basketball. Which was definitely a workout. I haven’t felt the aches of a good work out in a long time so I was happy. I rather feel sore then out of shape even though to get back in shape I have a long way to go. I decided to clean up my room and do my laundry because I have a habit of letting everything pile up and leaving it for last minute. Procrastination per usual. So I felt like being productive and actually cleaned up and did my laundry. This was a good decision because I was running out of clothes to wear and it was about time I tidied up. But this didn’t last long so once I was done I decided to clean up my mess from yesterday in the kitchen. I washed the dishes and cleaned up the counters. I felt good about this decision for many reasons. For starters I was looking after myself and did things my mom usually has to tell me and also because I helped around the house. Based on lessons from my family in particular my mom I know that was right of me to do. Although I don’t know how often I will be doing it, it was a start, which is better than nothing. Today I learned that I don’t always have to be lazy nor do I always have to wait to get told to do something in order to do it. Most of the time I know that I have to do something and instead of doing it I wait last minute or until someone tells me to. By doing it on my own I felt accomplished and mature. I know it is something I will be doing a lot more often now.

Today was the same and very different at the same time. It was the same because I woke up a little late since I was playing video games all night. There was nothing else to do and I couldn’t sleep. So I just stood up playing. It was fun because my high school friends were on the game so I got to talk to them and be my usual competitive self. We started playing against each other as well as on teams and it was a lot of fun. Until I realized the sun was coming up and I should probably go to sleep. When I closed my eyes I think I fell asleep instantly that’s how drained the game made me.
