January 6, 2022, weight 255.00 moral: high. Sanity: on the brink of crazy ( but a good crazy).
Update, I’ve been more active on social media. I don’t engage with anyone, but because of work, I’m online much more than I’d like. I am looking to build out my team, and I need to scour the internet for talent, so I’ve been online in social media land a lot more lately. I still have little communication with anyone outside my immediate family and co-workers. It’s been 37 days since my isolation, and I can’t complain. Something about being isolated makes me focus more. I’m not dwelling on the goings-on of people and or life. It’s almost like living in a sensory deprivation tank. Although the adverse effect of isolation is losing the concept of time, the less I know about current events, the harder it is to drop markers in time. I often lose track of what day it is, and if the day is mundane/uneventful, it doesn’t register, almost as if it’s shredded. I’m sure many exciting things are going on in the world, but I am now oblivious to them. Part of me still wants some social interactions; I’m starting to think I subconsciously made this blog a coping mechanism for not having social interaction. How will these posts evolve the deeper I go into this isolation rabbit hole?
Creativity! It’s at an all-time high. I’m currently taking some online courses in C++ for Unreal Engine; I wouldn’t be as productive in a different setting. Also been painting and trying new styles, which for me is exciting. I can’t wait to apply them to some IPs I’ve been sitting on.
Pitfalls. I’ve been sandbagging on my workout routine. This past rain made me lazy. Hoping to get up and running as soon as tomorrow morning.
Note. I stopped shaving my beard and stopped getting haircuts. I want to wait to cut either until my isolation is up. I am still determining how this is going to work out.
