I almost didn’t write today

Date posted: August 21, 2025

subjects that could be interesting to write about. There are days like today, when I’m focused on work and a bit stressed out, tired, and sleepy, with my mind foggy and unable to think of anything meaningful to write. All I want to do is go to bed early (or doom-scroll in bed until 2 a.m.). I didn’t go to Jiu-Jitsu or running today, so I can’t really write about that. I could write about my web design work, but I don’t really want to do the research. I could share the music I’m listening to (which is Kanye West – Violet Crimes), I haven’t been playing games, reading books, watching movies, or meditating. I’ve mostly focused on work, driving, and tending to my daily responsibilities.

I thought about breaking the streak today and simply skipping today’s writing. Who cares, right? I don’t think anyone is reading this besides my future self. I know that would be a slippery slope. Then I thought, if my future self were to look back on this day, would he appreciate that his past self left a trace of himself in these writings? He would appreciate it a lot, so I figure I’ll make him proud.

“There is nothing to writing”, Hemingway said. “All you do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed.”

Besides, I made a goal of writing a blog post everyday, it need not to be a good blog post.
