10-Minute Warning CXLIII

So, what can I write here under 10 minutes?

Well, I started having a movie marathon tonight while enjoying some ice cream (cookies and cream flavor). The 1st movie on my list is Horrible Bosses, but I got bored halfway through the film. So I went on to the 2nd movie: 3 Ninjas Kick Back. It’s an old and silly action movie about, of course, 3 young ninjas, but I grew up watching it, and watching it again after many years brought happy childhood memories.

I’m still looking for the 3rd movie to watch. Either I choose DC League of Super-Pets or The Bourne Supremacy. I’m also thinking about whether I drink another Jack and Coke Zero. I only drank 1 last night, so…

That’s all I can share for tonight.

10-Minute Warning CXLII

All right. After 2 weeks of physical weakness and depression, I have gained the energy to finish work on time and now I want to walk and jog tonight. The energy may not be 100%, but it’s a start. I thank that cold brew this morning, my family, and my “lamp posts” for giving me the energy and hope today.

I learned a few years ago that whenever I’m in a depressive state, I should not rush to bounce back. I should rest and dwell in the darkness for a while. And then when I find my lamp posts and gain enough energy, that’s when I start to bounce back. And The Diary, I will let you know when I truly keep fighting.

That’s all I can share for today.

Song of the Moment XLVIII: Linkin Park’s “The Messenger” (Again)

Once again, Linkin Park’s “The Messenger” is my Song of the Moment. Why? It soothes my heart which has been aching for weeks, and I will need to listen to it more in the coming days.

When you’ve suffered enough and your spirit is breaking
You’re growing desperate from the fight
Remember you’re loved and you always will be
This melody will bring you right back homewa

To my loved ones, I’m holding on. I’m really trying to hold on.
