-woke up with a heavy heart. I dunno if its with the hot weather or because i still dont have any constant. am i now getting tired of always creating new experiences? i am need to be boring? or am i getting bored being bored? stillness, the remedy for languishing.
-went jogging/cruising just earlier and i happen to pass by my luck. sucked two hung guys, one which looks like derek monastario (with his handsome face and yummy chest) i swallowed his cum. fuck that was hot. at this point, what do i need a bf for?

05/07
watched andre's vlog who is now working/living in japan. In my mind, i might end up migrating to new zealand or canada? i dunno, my mind at most of the times, as malleable and as unclear as a mud.
-got caught by an officer due to violating curfew hours for eating out. i got a ticket and penalty for 300. I dunno if i have the time paying it. in my mind, its petty price compared what the govt is really into. which is the hefty cost of vaccine. this is the time when solution is the root cause of all evils
05/06
-i guess it was the hottest day today
im literally melting
-i could only wish summer be over, or spent it somewhere cold or breezy. day dreaming i could work remotely lets say in baguio for the summer, then bantayan, manila very quarter. then 1 quarter spent lets say ina foreign land

-saw this moreno guy in the pantry. have him noticed that ive been noticing him. lol
-chester, from Laguna, the UP film guy.. one of the reason why i get back here in QC made paramdam. i dunno what are his intentions and plans in life. he knows im willing to wait for him and push for a new level. but part of me is kindof hesitant. as one time he let me watched a film about polyamory. or am i too paranoid that its the way he want me to know who he is and he is polyamorous. ewan. my mind is adrift once again.
05/03

***
-almost lost my phone together with my cc as i dropped them, i was like rummaging through the dark corners and grass fields i stayed.. my heart was pounding hard while trying to accept i lost another fortune, my contacts and my photos.. my memories and have them lost all to forgetfulness.. good thing the guy i am flirting with just before i realized i lost my phone found it with his flashlight and we end up having dinner. on me. gosh.. another temporary heart attack
-we talked about his current "unlabeled love life" which reminds me of what i had with arturo and he got angry when i laughed so hard with his stories and told him about the painful realities and simply have to accept it. Eventually, as what i've been though, it will make you tough and even appreciate life even more. I realized i used my pain for arturo as my fuel.

after almost a week of being admitted in a hospital with dextrose, i felt
my body fluids and senses went back to default, so the moment i got home,
my usual hot cacao and cinnamon smells like heaven.

the irony of painkillers and mental health care
one of my attending nurses had a quick chat with me while she's giving me doses of medication through IV.
i usually do casual talks and sometimes, crack a joke just to deviate from the pain (ironically, pain killers had this burning sensation through your veins) until it subsides.
We are somewhat at the same age and she quips that she have a son who's already a teenager.
"teenager?!"
ding! ding! ding!
flashbacks of memories and scenarios flooded my mind. as much as have so many happy memories i also associate it with teenage angst, vulnerability and depression---even way before the pandemic.
so imagine with all the complex and herculean tasks at school plus all the restrictions during the lock down, how can these present-time teenagers can manage?
once she left, i was pondering if i already have a child how can i make sure they are mentally and psychologicaly prepared specially during these challenging times?
I guess everyone is not exempted of having bouts of stress and depression. I am just lucky that the sea is my playground 😅, find comfort with my (private and primitive) art 😅, plus i am surrounded with people who have indepth understanding and compassion. as they say, misery loves company 😅.

Teen depression linked to how the brain process rewards
This article somehow validates this and remember these pillars toward caring for yourself or your loved ones' mental health:
“Be exposed to a good environment, healthy experiences, (and) enrichment.”
