Tiny resolutions, wishes, hopes, reminders for the future Natnath

May 19, 2024

I know it's a bit too late but it doesn't need to be a new year to start, wasn't it?

The last two blogs I wrote while I was on vacation are all about affirmations, realizations and the progress I've made over the past months. Not knowing that when I come back to work, I'd be back in this rut again.

A few weeks ago, our company has announced that they will be restructuring, and my position has been redundant — everything felt so hazy to contemplate and I have to admit, it stung deeper than I thought it would - an emotional blow I wasn't prepared for.

I'm gonna miss my team.

But it’s okay… Life happens.

So here’s a little reminder for myself to keep going:

  • Make studying a habit

  • Javascript daily digest, haha. Yes, I promised someone

  • Stop being a couch potato. Exercise, and don’t rot in your bed

  • Love as much as you can, with all your heart

  • Write often

  • Get a decent sleep daily... quoting this phrase from someone:
    “Nins, matulog ka. Importante ang tulog. Ang pula pula ng mata mo oh.”

  • Rediscover what your goals are. I know you’re a bit confused right now, or maybe afraid to admit because you aren’t there yet?

  • Don’t burn yourself down and always keep sight of what’s worth it

  • Be a little kinder to yourself, don’t deprive yourself with things that makes you happy just because you think you don’t deserve them because you failed, again. Life happens.

  • One step at a time. It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you don’t stop

  • Live and be happy
