The RadioMan

At one point, you'll get tired of wallowing in your sadness and misery and realize that the energy you spend being mad at basically everything is the same energy you can use to do something about the situation. No it will not make life easier or fairer instantaneously. You will not land your dream job in a snap or find your dream partner. But at that point you will start actually living for yourself. Some think that their purpose is something grand like saving the world; some think that it's providing for their loved ones. But many of them end up utterly spent and practically lifeless. Many do not recognize that for the time being, their purpose is to be the saviour of just one person: their self. #journal https://www.instagram.com/p/CpK729lPonC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Few more pages and this #journal will be full soon. The first volume of the guidebook for the next of my kind will be completed. 6 years worth of insights plus few artworks, brain dump, killer food recipes, plant parts, insect parts, human hair, and a cat whisker. Sounds like things you'll find in a hovel of a woodland gnome? Surprise! I am one! https://www.instagram.com/p/CotzfUhvxu6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The human chose #daffodils for today's short-lived #artwork. Of course it's always good to take a photo before washing off this temporary #tattoo. On another note I think I have to say goodbye to my set of colorful Schneider pens that I use for stuff like this. They've been reliable in the past 5 years, at least.

My very own #creativeprompt. Meditation tells us to live in the present—I would also advise that on most days. But today let’s do a bit of exercise. Maybe we’d like to revisit regrets and finally come into terms with them by playing things out in our head. Maybe we want to reflect on that one thing that could have made life a lot better if we had it. Or maybe for a moment we like to explore a totally different path and see how different the adventure would be. Write and share something about it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cce3BBcv5D0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Despite the aching feet, I requested the human to come with me yesterday to buy glass jars. I bought two large jars for storing snacks and a small one that I can turn into a jar of positive notes. I feel positive today but don’t really feel like writing myself some short positive messages so I came up with something else: a fairy nest in a jar! Look at that! Looks neat, right? Ha! #fairy #lights #artsandcrafts #artsandcraftsph https://www.instagram.com/p/CcKvkLdvRm_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another advice for the next Mark. Today I was reminded that my story, no matter how boring it seems, can be someone's survival guide. I must keep writing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbAnSnkBRxY/?utm_medium=tumblr

From this angle and with this weather, it does give you a bit of medieval feel. Also, another entry to the guide book. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXXyoTFl0L/?utm_medium=tumblr

Perhaps this guidebook will be completely filled before this year ends. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZOBXGrhazE/?utm_medium=tumblr

202101091231 I have a compulsion to count things. I realized this as a kid one night while I was lying down on the bed trying to count the grooves in the corrugated iron sheet that functioned as a roof of my grandmother's house. It's not a very strong compulsion but I still do find myself counting random stuff like steps in a staircase, candies, books, coins, crosswalk lines, hours I use for work, etc. I don't necessarily commit the numbers to memory but knowing them gives satisfaction. It's probably the reason why I enjoy quantitative analysis. In one of my virtual meetings, I remarked that the presenter might be experiencing technical issues because he had 73 tabs open in Chrome. Some attendees were shocked. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYf1b47hlNx/?utm_medium=tumblr
