Memories

🧠 Mental Health

  1. June 2, 2024 — Started journaling again after a long break. It helps clarify thoughts, especially when I’m spiraling over small decisions.
  2. March 14, 2024 — Therapist said I tend to people-please as a way to avoid conflict. Trying to practice saying no without guilt.
  3. May 5, 2024 — Felt a panic attack coming on during the staff meeting. Focused on my breath for 2 minutes and it passed. Proud of that.

🧘‍♂️ Health

  1. April 18, 2024 — Ran 3 miles today for the first time since last summer. Body feels stiff but in a good way—like it’s waking up again.
  2. January 9, 2024 — Started a low-FODMAP diet after weeks of bloating and stomach issues. Hoping this gives me some answers.
  3. February 23, 2024 — Blood pressure came back high at my last checkup. Doctor says to cut back on salt and monitor weekly.

💼 Finance

  1. March 1, 2024 — Moved my emergency fund to a high-yield savings account with Ally. Getting 4.2% APY now—feels smart.
  2. May 28, 2024 — Finally paid off my car loan. Liberating not having that monthly payment hanging over me anymore.
  3. April 10, 2024 — Trying out YNAB for budgeting. It’s weird to “give every dollar a job” but kind of satisfying.

🧑‍💻 Tech

  1. March 22, 2024 — Built my first home server using an old Intel NUC and TrueNAS. Now hosting my own file sync solution.
  2. June 1, 2024 — Started learning Rust. The borrow checker is kicking my ass, but I see why people say it’s worth it.
  3. February 12, 2024 — Tried out ChatGPT to summarize a 100-page PDF. Blew my mind how accurate and fast it was.

🌿 Lifestyle

  1. May 15, 2024 — Started growing herbs on my apartment balcony. Basil and mint are thriving. Feels good to care for something.
  2. April 3, 2024 — Did a full spring cleaning of my closet. Donated two bags of clothes and kept only what I actually wear.
  3. June 10, 2024 — Began tracking my screen time. Averaging 6.5 hours/day—want to cut that down by at least 2 hours.
