Brain Dump | Morning Musings

This week a lot of exciting events has happened. First, I think I beat the heat 😂 & second, Snaps is here! ( I think it's really something to be excited about). Ever since the feature being rolled out, I couldn't help but spend all my VP there and finding myself engaging more. Perhaps, I have attention span of a goldfish? And that is why I find that so appealing.

I also got excited since there's a new coffee chain opening in the city. I really miss all the city convenience while living here and I was complaining so much about it. The other day, I went to get an overpriced matcha from local coffee shop that it felt like a rip-off😅. Today, I finally tried the coffee chain that I frequent and I was happy to find a great source of caffeine again.

A good source of caffeine makes my world go round. Without a great source of it, I feel like I am stuck and my brain won't let me do anything. I could get by but not as much as when I have a good source of caffeine. That being said, I also get a little more extroverted, maybe it's a placebo but whenever I have a good caffeine, I talk too much and I have all the energy in the world to do things.

Now back to the heat, I sleep during the day and active during the evening. It really has helped a lot that I don't have to spend money on moving to another city. At the same time, I need to save up too🤣 because now, I am not only broke but also house poor, a new term I learned since having a house isn't just about living in it without paying rent but also maintenance, taxes and other miscellaneous fees that a renter wouldn't have. So, when you buy a house or get a house, make sure that it won't drain any of your savings too 😅. But honestly, would you rather rent or own a property?

I can't believe I've been living here for about 4 months now and my life has changed pretty drastically. Everyday feels insanely fast and sometimes I thought things have happened a decade ago. But apparently, it was just a few months back or less than 50 weeks ago. I don't know but I think that I am slowly adjusting to my life here and will try to move around as I see fit. I still think about traveling sometimes and I want to do that again, but I am reminding myself that it's OK to take some breaks from it and that traveling is luxury that not everyone can afford.

There's a shift in my mindset lately as I am a lot more settled and financially responsible. It's nice to have the ability to travel but as I grow older, I prefer a shorter but high quality travel than a long wanderer style. It's fun being a wanderlust but for now that isn't really the highest priority of mine. So, that being said though, I miss it but I am also okay with not having it 😊

Maybe this morning musings shouldn't be a morning musings anymore? Although you know, my morning is whatever time I decided it to be 😃. That's all for now. See you around.
