I spent the day split between outrage at racist police violence, ugly contradictions in my own rhetoric, body and weight anxiety, medication talk, and a business parody where protest energy and deal-making kept colliding.
Singapore food cravings, Friends-style nostalgia, and exile feelings ran through the day, with me using memory, TV, and comfort fantasies to cope with how cut off and displaced I felt.
Rejection, job filtering, food memory, Mirtazapine, and stalled outreach made this day feel tougher than it looked, with me trying to stay polished while feeling the pivot resist me.
The day began with tuna sandwiches, headache, and the hope of a calmer reset, but it ended up mixing depression, social performance, Parsi fixation, and the feeling that even calm was temporary.
I pushed hard on NDB and other business routes while also spiraling through hatred of Sri Lanka, escape fantasies, and the pressure to turn connections, permits, and introductions into real momentum.
Kobe’s death was still hanging over everything, and the day folded that grief into fear about the virus, restless posting, and a darker emotional tone that bled straight into the start of February.
I called every door I could for NDB and related banking routes, spending the day in pure hustle mode and refusing to slow down even when momentum was uncertain.
I framed the night as one final push for SIERRA, but the real story was exhaustion, pressure, and the feeling that I was managing both a deal and my own collapse.
The day split between breakdown and business, with almost no real rest as I tried to contain myself emotionally while still handling SIERRA calls and decisions at night.
I moved between cocktails, dinner memories, family rhythm, and another Iran spiral, with the day swinging hard between warmth, obsession, and geopolitical dread.
I posted obsessively about war, power, and what might happen next, using certainty and volume to push through a day that was really driven by anxiety underneath.
