I am the Emperor 🤘

Something I feel Emperor and definitely QL has triggered is how much more observant I am of things around me. That will probably increase quite a bit once I get glasses after my eye surgery.

I don’t know if it’s just being conscious of how much things change and how rapidly but I find myself curious how I can grow with these changes rather than fight against them as I have in the past.

This also goes back to an earlier post about wishing I could go back and fix various things and situations in my past. I must be growing because not only does it feel unnecessary but I feel that if I did I could very easily have lost who I am now and what I am becoming. I’m not sure I would be OK with that.

Something else is I feel that at times I am seeing glimpses of how people really are. What I mean is that I know people that I have to deal with both for work and in my current living environment that try to portray a certain image but really aren’t that way at all. I feel that I allowed myself to be willfully oblivious to people’s true intentions because I wanted to think the best of someone. I should have known after decades of trying to heal any relationship with my biological parents that thinking that way is futile.

Similar situation. I still haven’t talked about what happened in my journal, the wounds haven’t healed completely, but I’ve had some similar realizations.

That said, I don’t want to live an angry or brooding life, it’s too short, I owe it to myself to make the most out of myself and whatever time I have left in this world.

I want to enjoy life being the best I could be, achieving my dreams, enjoying the best life has to offer and spending my time going on adventures, trips, having excellent meals and enjoying the best experiences with my loved ones.

Stay the course brother :beers:

I ran a loop of the Nov 2023 LBfH last night and today I have better about myself. Seems like any time I run LBfH that I eat less

Dropped QL from my stack in favor of LBFH Nov 2023. Running my loops today of Emperor and Index Gate Nov 2023

The combination of LBfH and Emperor is obliterating my anxiety

Spending way more time on coding now. I still haven’t watched much if any television lately. I don’t really miss it either. Working through the Full Stack course I mentioned before as well as finishing an Front End and HTML courses. I know they overlap. I am working for better retention.

After I finish the HTML course I’m going to start the Python course

I have been reading up on long term goals and thinking lately. Something I have struggled with my entire life is being patient. I feel that Emperor , Index Gate , and QL are helping me see the importance of it even though at times it feels like planning or looking forward to a day that might possibly never come.

Started an SQL course as well

Man SQL still confuses me, in terms of the actual queries/commands. I use PHP scripts to access some SQL Databases, and it’s hella cumbersome. I may run IGUP to help with SQL.

It is confusing. I will probably go through the course multiple times so I catch things I might have missed

For some reason the more extreme the music that I listen to while I work through coding courses the better I do.
