I have ten days left, and I didn’t want to write today.

Most of the day was spent recovering from, going to bed around 4 am. I went on a walk and then took a nap.

It’s funny how a day of taking care of myself feels like nothing got down.

I read “Everything is F*cked” by Mark Manson, and thought about what I felt about hope.

Though, I am here now to just finish what I started.

So what did I do today?

Today felt like a siren ringing in my head.

Though I didn’t write a lot today, I feel like I say that every day. I am trying.

But for all this is worth, it feels like I am failing.

Word Count: 32,161 words

See you tomorrow, friends.
