No, I don't follow basketball. I've really been trying to capture moments in life even though I have practically ditched my DSLR life. I remember when I was in college, I would wander down the streets somewhat late at night to go on a solo photo expedition (or something like that). I recognize the fact that last year, memories seemed to have been lost. I rarely even took photos during my class while I was at GA. I seriously regret that. So now things have changed. And good thing I do have my iPhone easily accessible anywhere, any time. Though the quality might not be the same, the whole point really is to quickly capture a moment worth sharing and worth looking back and smile (or cringe) a little.

Lately, life has always been somewhat a rollercoaster. I'm not even back to work full-time but the repercussions are brutal. Or should I say the side effects of going back to work (somewhat) full-time just kills my motivation and energy. Every time I head home I get really tired and rarely feel motivated or encouraged to kickstart on projects. That being said, I have been slacking on practicing code and working on mastering those technical interviews, let alone completing an entire job application. Everything starts with you. Everyone else can tell you this or that, but ultimately getting things done is dependent on yourself. It requires you to keep telling yourself that in the end everything will be worth it.

I'm not sure why it has been so hard for me to launch back into the routine or to deal with emotions in a fashionable manner. There are things that are definitely bothering me. It's also been creepy because Thought Catalog has been showing up on my news feed again. I don't think that's happened in a while. But lately, it's been suggesting articles that seem far too relevant that I barely have the courage to click on the link to start the article. I suppose I am facing far too many uncertainties right now. I'm still figuring out a way to tackle them and face those fears. From past experiences I know that I will be able to do it. But only time will tell.

Lastly, my dad came to visit for a few hours. Our go-to spot is Ballard. We always end up in that neighborhood no matter what. I took him for an indulgent meal at Bitterroot. And you know you've definitely grown up when you casually order a beer (or your dad keeps asking if you want to drink a beer or not). Good times. Time spent with him was brief but fruitful. I got a lot of insights from the short conversations we had and it's really got me thinking about a lot about my future, goals, and myself. #SoSentimental
