Daily Diary

Dear Diary,

Today I had plantains and plums. This season always makes me happy despite the heavy rains that somehow mar my days. While eating, my mind still went back to the fact that so much less is needed to be happy. And even though we love to refute it, happiness can be bought and for so much less than we often think.

Today was the beginning of a new and exhilarating journey. They say the only constant in life is change and so, we must try to the best of our abilities to finesse our minds, our skills and our sets. Heraclitus was right in saying that everything alters and changes.

I definitely am not a fan of waiting on people because I was so pissed when this technician kept stalling today. But even in this annoyance, I was able to ask myself if I really give out the same energy I expect in return. Do I respect time? Do I reply on time? Am I the friend/family I want others to be to me?

While I was pissed at others for not replying to me, I found myself doing the same to others. Some sort of double standards? Hypocrisy is the one thing we all are guilty of. And sometimes, we try as much as we can, to refute the truth, but it’s human nature to sometimes want to adapt to the situation — after all, when you go to Rome, do what the Romans do.

Is food and drink enough to make one gain weight? Because I am about to indulge in weight gain therapy and my only recipe is food and drink. I hope this works. Because I am tired of looking and feeling so tiny. And besides, I might look cuter with some extra flesh.

Dear Diary, keep my thoughts as secret as news can be…
