Weeknote 12 - 17 July, 26

July 18,2026

I interviewed at a place that wanted me to design a remote control for a drone helicopter for 7 year olds. Was interesting.

A designer that spoke to me after 3 years told me "you seem so much more regulated now"

I am feeling more inclined to meditating vs past week when I really didn't wanna face my thoughts. So the regulation efforts are paying off

I worked so much better this week, I could sit down, focussing, getting things done, when I couldn't get it done I pivoted and tried something else.

Even when I scrolled and was on my phone on the bed, it was limited and I felt ok about it

Started watching Witch Hat Atelier and I love the art style. But there's something weird between the child and the teacher, why does he lift her up so much jesus.

I'm excited to be more by myself and by extension I'm happier when I'm around people. It's so bizzare that it just works like that. If you can't be around yourself, you're miserable around others. When you make your own self habitable to yourself, being around others feels like a treat

I still don't think that I'm entirely back to my old self pre december 2025, depression era. But I'm starting to make peace with the fact that I might never fully go back and I might have to make a new enjoyable mental home from what I have.

Really jealous of a friend taking a drama class everyday this month, wish it was me

My grid diary from paperclip is almost over. Excited to buy a new one. branching out to lilac from black was hard but served me very very well. I might do a rich dark green next and carry it everywhere

I didn't work on my to do app this week, got carried over by other things. But I hope next week the world destines me to work on it

I'm craving somethings next week - bun from bungudi, mulbagal dose from Mulbagal dosa corner (this is for atharva if you're reading), working on the UI for to do app, more writing, more playing the keyboard and making a video.

Doing, moving, happy. I'm thankful for this opportunity with my brain. I will use it well and try again to keep taking care of this.
