12:12 mobile photo. Feeling lazy but done with all 75 Hard Phase 3 "tasks." :) Today is Day 29/30. After tomorrow, I am definitely "celebrating." :)

***
T's cousins from Tabaco are still here, and am grateful for that as the home school setup experience felt like a preview of hell, frankly speaking. Grateful however that we are surrounded by nature and lots of space (not everyone appreciates it so they sell their land and move abroad causing a plethora of intellectuals leaving the country, am rambling and digressing but this is my journal anyway, as B would say: Who cares if they do not see you or who cares if they do not "heart" your post? Aren't you doing it because you enjoy it? Aren't you doing it for yourself?).

Funny though, at the beginning of the pandemic, we (B, T and I), found ourselves seemingly depressed as we all "escaped" our roles and jobs now, after logging more than 300 days of movement on Strava, we are suddenly overwhelmed with jobs, to-do lists, and barely have time to spend communicating off screen. 

As all adversities are opportunities for growth and change, everyday we find time,  and we choose to accept things we can not change, we choose to be brave and have courage despite failures, we choose to forgive and overlook small things/mistakes, we choose to love despite of differences (upbringing/culture/religion/and others). 
A life without the ability to choose is a life without purpose. Thinking out loud as per Ed Sheeran: just me venting like I did decades ago in my The Pillars Publication column. My "handle" /pen name (?) was ventbadlyneeded and colourblind.

Have a good one! Thanks for passing by :)
