#13 Coronavirus

What has the coronavirus done for you? 

In the beginning, it brought a lot of fear, panic, sadness and anxiety. 

I remember taking the bus after heading out to buy necessities, after a period of time staying home. Seeing places so empty, like a scene right out a zombie apocalypse. It was really disturbing to see places that used to be bustling with people, empty.

People were scared of people, us afraid of one another and loathing the ones that do not don a mask or removing the mask to sneeze or cough. 

But what has it done for you?

It made me treasure the people around me, the time that I have, or do not have, it got me to think hard about what matters most, be it people or things I did with my time. 

As what Noah Kagan mentioned in the Noah Kagan | OkDork, Don't Do What You Love | The Wolf's Den #78 Youtube video, 

"to enjoy life in any aspects is to enjoy the ride. I have a mantra that I read in the morning, it says, Enjoy the journey, not the destination."

"How the coronavirus has helped me or how it helps everyone, is.. what f*cking matters. because now you can't do all the things you used to do that we took for granted. So you got to think, 

Which people in my life matter? 

What work do I really want to do that matters? 

How do I want to spend my free time?" 

How can we make the best of what we're given?

That's all for today, see you tomorrow!

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
