I've always found a comfort in playing my violin. When things get too difficult to process, music has always been a way I could express myself without the complication of words.

Sometimes I find joy in even the external. I've never dyed my hair before, but we tried to at home and I feel really happy about it. It's not something much, but a simple change made my heart feel lighter.

Although we can't see each other physically, being able to call with my friends on Discord really has helped me feel less lonely. Sometimes we don't even have to talk; just being in a call with each other and vibing to music is a huge form of reassurance.

I love my org a lot! Despite being online, which has been a struggle for us in implementing our projects, the core team has been working hard to make sure we'll be able to make the most of the school year. Working here has been one of the greatest pleasures of the school year.

I love playing games! Be it as simple as minesweeper to as complicated as "This is Not A Game", I love thinking and acting and excelling within the confines and rules of a game (and sometimes, exploiting them!). Recently I've been way into Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Genshin Impact.

I love learning and reading, don't get me wrong! Because of the online nature of classes, however, I have to self-study and self-pace myself. It's really difficult to do so, considering the screentime and external stresses of the pandemic.

Being alone this quarantine has taken its toll emotionally. Yeah, talking to my friends on discord helps, but sometimes I miss hugging my friends physically -- just being able to see them.

My father is an OFW, and my two sisters moved out. It's just me and my mom here, and though I love the space (and how much less cramped it is here!) I do miss them.

I'm not sure how to explain it either. Somedays, it's just hard to find the motivation to get out of bed and do anything. The feeling passes by relatively quickly, of course, but it's just so difficult somedays. I don't want to complain since I'm already in a relatively privileged position, though.

Just moving forward. I think that's all most of us can do, these days. As of now, I'll keep moving forward and hope that, whoever I may be at the end of this journey is someone I can be proud of.

Dear Lord,
It's been a year of lots of fear and doubt. At the same time, it's been a year of hopes and dreams. Whether those same hopes and dreams are dashed by the end or realized fully, we'll only know at the end of it.

All the same, I pray that the path you set upon us will be the path that is for Your greater glory. We hope that we'll be able to use all our learnings and hardships from this year and turn it into transformative action for the betterment of our fellows. Amen.
