blog #101

Last week after putting up my blog post my writing platform congratulated me as follows: “Boom. It's out there. That's 100 posts published, keep going!”

So that’s that done! I have kept this going for more than two school years at this point. I think it has been a great reflective practice which has helped me through different times throughout these two years.

I considered stopping the weekly posts once I got the 100 posts done. I am slowly coming to the realisation, that it could be useful to keep it going during the army. This for multiple reasons.

Firstly, since I am seldom available during the week, my close friends and family get an update on me once a week.

Secondly, it is a great way to digest what is happening to me by breaking it down into tangible text.

Finally, I would not mind keeping the streak going while I’m at it. I am rather surprised that I have actually managed to write something every week for the past 101 weeks at this point.

As the leader of my military company told us: “Discipline is doing simple things even when times are difficult.” I can proudly say that I have managed to practice discipline in this given scenario.

This Week's Suggestions:

🎶 "VIRUS" by KLOUD and remixed by Odd Mob:

I do not have much time to listen to music here, but every so often I get to put on one earplug and jam. This song has been in my rotation for the past two weeks. Very lowkey and vibey house tune. It has a soothing melody that calms one down.

📹 Why Oppenheimer Deserves His Own Movie:

Veritasium strikes once again. This is a great historical and scientific explanation on who was Oppenheimer and why indeed making a movie about him is interesting. If you are interested in watching the movie or have already done so I highly suggest this video for extra context!

P.S Since I am writing from my phone I cannot put any feature pictures since the user interface will not allow it. I will fix this as soon as I get my hands on a computer again.

That’s all for this week!
