Reflecting back on work, life, reading, listening, and media

Life is wild. It's both hectic and boring, with new updates hitting you while still keeping up with its everyday routines. The past couple of weeks, I've noticed my body holding a lot of stress, even though my mind is handling it well. If you are or have been in a similar situation, hopefully this dissection is helpful.

I've been reflecting on what I want, and what I can control. I want to get a full-time job in my career, to start dating again, to build up my savings, to make new friends, and to read 36 books. I can control the jobs I apply to, the boundaries I set, what I spend money on, and the types of books I read. I want to be content and satisfied with my life in general. I can control how I respond to setbacks.
