XXI: A Rant About Coffee Choices & Other Happenings Today

Originally, this is just a simple post about what happened today. But first, I need to get things off my chest.

Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.

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.

The Wall II

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
And let out the loudest bawl
For I am finally reinvigorated
And depression is obliterated

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
And get ready for the next brawl
All of my demons should run
My road to redemption has begun

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
And tell Death to recall
This is not the end of my story
I will run through life with fury
