Much more successful today. I still didn't make much headway on the employment front but I got a lot of domestic stuff done as well as the standard exercise routine. I'm particularly proud of today because I've been trying to maintain my exercise routine for five days straight for nearly a month but without much success. Today marks the first time I've done it in ages. What's more, I'm reasonably sure I'm not injured, so I should be able to keep it up. Usually, I have to take a break after five because my body is just too worn out.
I didn't get much done on the creative front but I still made an effort. I've realised that I've left my creative habits dormant for too long. They've started to atrophy. I really need to make a conscious effort to do more of it each day if I'm to get any better at it. All I managed today is a concept for a song - Iron Guts.
All my life, I've had trouble dealing with the reality of the world. One of the reasons I didn't become a news journalist was because I knew I lacked the stomach to look at tragedy in such an unfeeling way every day of my life - which I think most would agree is a necessity of the profession. I can't even read the paper most days because the news - and the presentation thereof - is so upsetting. However, if I'm to accomplish anything, I know I need to man up enough to actually look at the face of tragedy. I need to actually grasp the practical realities of the problems I supposedly would like to fix.
That's what I'd like the next song to be about, anyway.
