Roots and Realities

🗓️ Daily Note – May 11, 2025

Last night, I returned home from work around 1 AM. Exhausted, but not ready to sleep—I ended up playing a game for a while before finally drifting off.

Woke up around 10 AM today. Went to the market, bought some chicken, and cooked lunch. It felt good to do something for myself—simple, grounding.

After lunch, I called Mom. The conversation took a turn I wasn’t expecting. We talked about the idea of building our own home. A dream, really. But that dream is tangled in family complications.

The property we’re living on isn’t truly ours. My uncles—despite having their own homes—refuse to part with their share. Some want to build factories on their portion. Others just don’t want us to build. A few are asking for prices way beyond what’s fair.

And now I’m stuck. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what will happen.

My dad spent his whole life building this family. He gave his all—more than 100%. Now it feels like it’s my turn to carry that forward. But I’m confused. I’m trying to be strong, trying to figure it out... but it feels like I’m standing alone at a forked road, with no clear direction.

And while I’m writing this, the clock ticks closer to another workday. It’s time to get ready. Time to go survive in that place where each day stretches like eternity.

But maybe, just maybe, somewhere in that stretch—I’ll find a way forward.

*Title: “From Silence to Static”*

 **🗓️ Daily Note – May 12, 2025** Yesterday’s shift was unusually calm. Being a Sunday, the office had this strange stillness to it. Fewer calls, no chaos—just enough quiet to feel like things might be okay, at least for a while. I sat with that peace, let it settle into the spaces usually filled with urgency. But it didn’t last. Just when I thought I’d log off peacefully, an issue popped up—unexpected, messy, demanding. And there I was, tangled in it till midnight. Then came today. Or more accurately, today arrived *too soon*. While I was still asleep, the phone rang. A colleague, already angry, started questioning me about pending data. No “good morning,” no space to explain. Just blame. I tried to reason with them—told them the truth. That the tools have been taken away. That I don’t have access. But sometimes people just want someone to point at. And while I was lying there, listening to it all, one thought crossed my mind—*what if I just resign?* But then reality whispered ba...

🌍 A Glimpse Into My World

  🌍 A Glimpse Into My World At 25 , I live a life that’s intentionally quiet — not out of fear, but out of choice. I prefer the comfort of low- key living , where peace is louder than chaos and solitude is more grounding than the spotlight. I find joy in the simple things — like a quiet evening, journaling my thoughts, or getting lost in a good football match. FC Barcelona holds a special place in my heart — their passion, style, and legacy resonate with me. On match days, the calm breaks just a little — replaced by the thrill of the game, the rush of goals, and the unspoken bond between fan and team. But behind this quiet life, there are struggles too . I work far from home, and being away from my family is the hardest part . After long hours, I return to an empty house , and it often feels heavier than silence should. To add to that, the office environment isn’t warm or friendly — it’s a place where I have to hold myself up even when I’m running on low. Some days are espe...
