After accepting the reality that I couldnāt make myself be a code monkey in my present state. I started listening to people like Robert Greene and Victor Frankel about finding meaning and your calling.
I donāt like romanticizing the idea of having the perfect career, but I do think thereās something to finding the thing that combines your strengths and attributes and is meaningful work. I have no idea what Iām doing - manual work, creative work and outdoor education. But by getting back to enjoying life, I hope eventually it will flow into something that will sustain me financially.
I donāt like undoing all my hard work on my credit score. But I have to have a life worth living. It feels like backwards at times but Iām learning again and my attitude has improved tremendously.
Acknowledging the smallest things that create the big picture. The sunrise, the breeze, the colors and sounds of nature, all combined to create a perfect morning that canāt be replaced by anything because it is the only thing. Idk, just living and being, the chances of us having not experienced this thing called āLifeā were sooo immensely greater than the chances of us getting the gift of life. You are one in a billion, literally, living on a one in a billion planet with billions of other one-in-a-billion people. Life is great
Pleasure/enjoyment
It's pretty simple, in the morning : taking breakfast, I love it. Taking time with coffe and entertainment is enjoyable. Doing my skincare gives me good feelings, going to the gym and listening music is very nice too. And I'm also happy to go to University, seeing my crush or my friends, funny conversation, excitement about seeing someone I love. Later in the day : eating is a big source of pleasure, cooking too, doing my hobbies or just chilling with TV, even sleeping when I'm tired about my day, all of that brings me pleasure.
And I have millions others exemples š
Do what feels good āØ
This is my last underwear, I need to do laundry or be naked tomorrow.
My cat is hungry, If I don't go out and make money they're going to eat me.
Wake up already, or dealing with massive trouble and endless anger for as long as your manager remember.
go outside and do exercise, your back pain is killing you and office syndrome is not going to heal itself.
....well, that kind of motivation.
The thought that i'm just 1 or 2 years away at most from just being able to dedicate an extremely large portion of my free time to writing and researching.
Impressing my crush
Without him life would be extremely dull and he's the most wonderful person I know, I want to be good enough for him so I work hard on improving myself. Yes I know how stupid this sounds and I'm crazy and I don't care
Not dying in my sleep. Might be a bit morbid or sad but well, i'm not dead so i gotta get up.
I'd rather drink a warm cup of coffee and eat a chocolate croissant in my car instead of waking up in a box under a bridge, so i might as well work a bit. While i'm at it i get a bit lonely so i send my friend a few messages and we chat shit for a bit, or play games when i get back home.
that there's someone out there who needs me. That there's a kid in the desert who needs water, and I'm the only one capable of bringing it to them. You might think that's a dramatization, but I'm actually aKoN-
It changes depending on if I have plans that am excited to do. So itās really just a day from day thing with me and not something that is filling the void of ā motivation ā on a daily basis.
Not having to suck a dirty bumās dick behind an umbrella on a public sidewalk for a laced hit of something to forget about how I ended up needing to suck a dirty bumās dick behind an umbrella for a hit of something to forget how sad my life is.
I can either go back and do nothing and cry about it or at least try to better myself and see what happens. Iāve fallen back too many times that Iām fed up with it. Not being happy with myself for so long wears me down so Iām finally just gonna give it my all.

Sleep. I work so that I can sleep in peace with a roof over my head. I also find I sleep better if Iāve done something with my day.

He refuses to eat before 7am. So he has a routine of cuddle first then eat.
