Whaat a strange week...
Watching Sorry to Bother You and reading about the Myth of Sisyphus sent me into a downward spiral. I realised too late, that my spotify algorithm was being unhelpful and suggesting music that was compounding my emotional state. Life is absurd - we just push the boulder up the hill and then watch it roll down again, just to repeat the process? Camus says yes, but we can enjoy the process, so embrace the stone rolling..
So I had an existential meltdown for a couple of days, stuck in a toxic loop. I remembered some Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies so I eventually found solid ground again. Now I'm back to rolling the boulder up the hill, but I'm content doing it - I've rediscovered my patient, motivated and creative self. I also deleted my Spotify so I've exited that echo chamber, which has been surprisingly helpful.
I took the day off work today, spent time with my wife (she is the frog to my toad) and youngest. Ate a Japanese style curry in some sweet spring sun, and set up my new MicroPC 2 to be my daily driver. This is my first entry using it.
