Dear diary, my day started at 7:35am, raining a lot like 5 days ago and it doesn't make me angry, on the contrary, it makes me happy, because in the city it is hot all year round being a coast and being close to the beaches of the country. So with an early rain it cools down the morning enough to make it a perfect day.

The internet is quite slow, it must be the same rains that worsen the networks and telephone connections, it is stressful when you depend on it to live, as are the sudden blackouts and blackouts that only bring about burning of appliances or worse, electronic equipment.

But hey, that's life... Then I made my cup of coffee, as usual, had breakfast and helped my mum with some drawings she asked me to do as educational resources for the school where she works, a primary school. Doing these activities relaxes me as painting I feel is one of my gifts, it connects me with my inner child and brings back memories of drawing with my mentor, my father.

The drawings dealt with tips of the alphabet for correct writing and the parts of the human body together with the senses. I tried to make it very colourful, as it is a resource for young children and the more colours and combinations there are in the drawing the more entertaining it will be for them and improve their knowledge retention.

After finishing my drawings I varnished them with glue to make them last longer, and I really loved the result. I relived my high school days where I had to make all kinds of resources to pass my subjects and always stand out, I was the best average of my year for a reason.

The rain didn't stop, so I started to cook something, it was so cold that I thought of making a delicious chicken soup with some instant noodle soup I had in the cupboard, some chicken bones and some vegetables. Besides the cold, my reason for eating soup is because I have been feeling my body weak, and as my mother says, soups are "dead lifters". And mum knows why she says things, her experience makes her wise.

I should be more aware of my health, lately I have neglected my hair, I am even too lazy to get ready, I feel tired, out of spirits and quite generally unwell. Life as an adult is stressful, I have to find something to occupy my mind and make more money at the same time, between rent, services, food and more I will go crazy.

But I must stay upright and sane, since life is only a moment and you have to know how to handle it, even when the obstacles are very high.

It comforts me to know that I have a cat who loves me, a partner who also does, a mother who also loves me and I must continue standing, to see them happy and they make me happy.
