Hello guys, I am sorry I have not posted on this news site in a long time. I have been going through a lot lately, just like what a lot of people are probably going through right now.
Over the last couple of years, I have realized that some people could go on a legit downward spiral due to their bad decisions such as drinking on a daily basis, doing drugs, or feeling down and not wanting to talk about it for some reason. Some of my friends have went down on that path to a point they may not be able to get out of an already deepening hole, something like what a person would go through a worst case scenario in a quicksand.
I am, unfortunately have been on a somewhat downward path due to family commitments, mainly due to a cognitive declining father, suffering from Alzheimer's (not official due to not being diagnosed officially by his doctor), also facing challenges with a swelling scar on my hand, with some of my friends feeling bad for me as a result and my mom is encouraging me to see a dermatologist and some bad moments in life which has caused me to get stressed out.
For the most part, I would focus on work and talk with my co-workers current and former, friends, mutual connections in order to just run away from the problems. However, I have learned in a long run that running away from problems would only make it much worse. But, on the other hand I know, via my instincts that all of these people I have met will always be there for me whenever I have a problem or just want to hang out and just talk about life.
One thing that has really bothered me throughout the last couple of month is mental health awareness. Due to COVID in my opinion, crime and fear of safety has been on the rise from workplaces, schools, transit systems, to malls, mainly with gun violence due to the perpetrators twisted views, just to get what they wanted in their life with no regards to others, or just because of the fact that a random stranger entered their driveway and shot them. Joe Biden has promised us last year that we can get gun control and mental health prioritized, yet nothing has been done about it. Hopefully he does something about this soon as a result of what is going on in America (even though some people think this is a free country).
But, I digress. I have to remember about staying positive and remembering all the good moments with friends and family. Everyday I wake up and I am grateful I have a job I enjoy growing my future career in.
I am grateful I have met and still talk to great mutual connections, friends, co-workers old and new and say mostly positive things to prevent people thinking I have been depressed, although I might still be going through a lot. I still have to take things one day at a time.
I am also grateful I had a good birthday, with a lot of my friends wishing me a happy birthday and spending quality time with quality people and enjoying it a lot.
I am also grateful, I have been working out and hitting goals on my Apple watch on move, exercise and how many hours I stand on a daily basis.
All the bad things that has happen to me, I have to learn from. I am still getting better every day. I am Alan Fung, the only thing I can improve is myself.
I am like Will Smith, I will always be a work in progress. Nobody is perfect. I don't want to end up like my father, in which he has went through a lot and struggled a lot socially in America with a lot of people. I hope I can get his Alzheimer's worked out (despite not being diagnosed right now) as well as putting an end (permanently hopefully) to my swelling scar on my hand.
Most important to remember, everybody like myself should aim to be nice to each other and work together.
More importantly, I have to look out for others that matter to me, more importantly, my future girlfriend. If I know something suspicious is going on, I need to report to higher authority as soon as possible and not keep it to myself in a private manner.
I have some announcements to make! Starting next month, I will post content on certain days. (Let me know if you guys are not okay with it)
