Month: December 2022

Day 3: At times discouragement creeps in, and I can’t help but question whether there’s a point to all of this. Life is a constant struggle towards finding meaning and purpose.

Day 2: A unique revelation occurred this afternoon during lunchtime when I learned one of my co-worker was a lead singer for a screamo band I used to listen to in the late 90’s early 2000’s. I made a comment about his voice as we left the restaurant together and overheard him singing the lyrics to whatever song was playing over the loudspeaker. “My goodness, you have an amazing voice.” I said. “Were you ever in a band?” “Surely with that pitch and tone he must have had some formal training” I thought. His response was a simple “Yes, the band I was in toured around during Warped Tour. Papa Roach was an influence and helped my band sign a record deal.” Well Cool! Not the response I was expecting… Fascinating! “I’m sure I wore one of your band’s t-shirts and own a copy of one of the albums.”

Day 1 : So much to say, no one to say it to… or nobody who cares to hear it.  Journaling was recommended. May this online log be an outlet to combat pitiful feelings of isolation and loneliness. Perhaps someone may be interested in reading my thoughts, chiming in, and providing valuable insight.  

Grand news arrived in the morning hours, as I sat working hard at my desk focused on the daily routine. The caption to the sonogram image read “176 bpm.” “I’m going to be an aunt.” I thought.  “What an amazing feeling.” I never imagined either myself or my brother procreating. Yet, here we are approaching the end of the  year 2022 nine months away from the arrival of my niece or nephew, whatever it may turn out to be.  I’m overjoyed with the news of the addition to our family.
