+I remember the days when I can work anywhere I want with just a laptop. I have been working remotely for about 3 years even before the pandemic. So I could take the family anywhere... accompany the wife to her projects... and still work.<!--more-->
+
+Now we've been forced to stay put for about a year and we tried our best to adjust.
+
+It has been a mixed bag of good and bad, and lately I feel like it's not getting any better for me... Mentally, at least.
+
+I know people say we should talk about this. But to me, it's just so dark and strange, I don't know how to even begin talking about it.
+
+I just know that I stay awake at night til sunrise thinking about quitting everything... Then comes the new day and suddenly I'm reminded I can't be so selfish.
+
+I want to have the option of working anywhere again. But this little corner will do for now.
+
+Anyway, here are some words I wrote in my journal a year ago before the lockdown. Just thought I'd share this now for someone who might need to read this. :)
+
+> Success is a variable.
+> Greatness is a constant.
+> Happiness is temporary; so enjoy it.
+> Loneliness is temporary; so endure it.
