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.

Song of the Moment XXXV: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (Again)

For some strange reason, the 1st thing I do when I feel happy is listen to a favorite song. It’s either “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters (my favorite song of all time), Finn Bálor’s 1st theme song (I love this song over his current one), or “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour (an excellent hard rock song and CM Punk’s theme song). Today, I’m listening to the latter on repeat. Again.

(This is the 2nd time “Cult of Personality” is my Song of the Moment. You can check out the 1st post here.)

I hope this happy mood lasts for long. And speaking of CM Punk, his rivalry against Drew McIntyre is one of the most exciting storylines in WWE recently, and they have not fought in a match yet. I’m looking forward to their inevitable bout.

Happy week ahead, everyone!
