Back from the dead

Well, I think I neglected my journal for long enough now. Or rather, I have been neglecting myself, my goals and the duties I set for myself. It has been so easy to just sleep in and do nothing all day, but this can not go on forever. Even my Dad and, and at the same time very seriously, said that...

Thoughts on beliefs

Today on Khan Academy I learned about India and of course that included Hinduism and Buddhism as well. I have been wondering if there is any other belief system more depressing. Why I find it depressing? It is a religion, whose answer to all suffering is mass spiritual suicide. I get that living i...

Just another day down the drain

Somehow this is starting to become a chore. There is less and less to write about every day. We are only in the middle of the second week but I am so done with all this quarantine business. I decided yesterday to do an Instagram story this morning to answer to my friend's challenge but got soo an...

Highlights of an otherwise quiet day

Today was a typical day spent at home, but there were some highlights. I was challenged by a friend on Instagram for the first time and by the time I figured out what I was supposed to do the sun went down, ruining the lighting so I just postponed the whole thing. The same friend was also curious ...

Reading between the lines

Reading the news has always required some prudence. I have not researched other countries but this is definitely the case for us here in Hungary. My father says it has been the case all the time. He likes reading the newspaper archives and Arcanum is free for the month so he has been checking out ...

Cooking Marathon

So, my brother's names day was last week and my mother really wanted to make some Dobos cake for him since it is his favourite but mostly because she recently learned how it was made originally and really wanted to try it out for herself. For some context, I should say that at the weekends we only c...

Another day cheating the not yet implemented lock-down

This morning my grandmother called if I would come to help her with the gardening. I was quite comfortable sitting at home, so I was somewhat reluctant but ended up agreeing to go anyway. My father mentioned in passing, that it was probably not the best idea since he just got back from abroad a week...

Do not forget to take care of yourself!

I have never been a girly girl but being stuck at home with no reason for me to make an effort to look good is becoming a bit of a problem. That is why today I had a morning of self-care. It started by me realizing that now that my parents were in home-office, our flat got dusty twice as fast. I c...

A Day Out

Today, me and my grandmother spent the day tending the garden together. It was great to be out of the city for a change. I do not really mind being cooped up at home, my father joked that quarantine for our family is basically other people starting to act more like us. We are natural social-distance...

Some Contradictions

Days go by, more and more people start social distancing and whoever can works from home, including my parents. I was planning to find some simple job for myself this semester but going job hunting is becoming less appealing by the day. I feel between a rock and a hard place. I need the money but s...

Thoughts on habits and politics

Darling past self, why couldn't you wake up on time? It is not that hard. You just get up and bear with it for a short while. So yeah, I did not manage to keep up a streak of early rising but fear not! I have not given up just yet. Quite often, when I fail to meet a goal, I get myself in a slump o...

Trying out new habits

Today I challenged myself to get up real early, like 5:30 early. I usually sleep in until 10 or 11 AM so I was not too keen about the loss of sleep. However, I watched a few videos on the subject and found that having more productive hours in a day might just be what I need and thus worth it. This i...
