Today in 2019
Day 186 / 366
I’ve written over 700 blogs here so far. This is not the first time I tried doing a 365-day writing challenge. The first time I did it was in 2019, and it was the only time I was able to finish it.
This means that for each day in 2019, I have a record of something written by me. You’ll know that some days I write about nothing in particular, I just use this blog to dump all the thoughts going on in my brain that day. And this was the case back in 2019 as well. So I thought it would be a fun idea to go back and look at the blogs I wrote around the same time of the year in 2019 and try to remember what was going on in my head at that time.
Had to scroll a lot to find it, but this is the blog I wrote on this day in 2019
Reading through this now, I remember that I was really into Stoicism during that time. I had purchased some books on it as well, and I had decided to do a series of blogs on Stoicism. I think this blog is a compilation of some of the stuff I read on it that week.
I remember that around that time, I had recently switched jobs. At my new job, I was way underqualified. I was surrounded by people much better at coding than me. But I am glad that I was able to take it up as an opportunity to learn from them and grow. So I guess the first point in the blog about “keeping the company of people who are more successful than you” actually applied to my own life at that point. Maybe that was the reason I chose to include it in the blog I guess.
It’s crazy how long ago 5 years seem.
