Earlier, I did my first livetweet coverage, which is essentially tweeting about what's happening in an event.

Came into the event nervous, but I told myself that I had nothing to lose.

People would understand if I messed up

and I did

I recovered

and I did great

@MaxRiznich06 Glad to hear from you!

It's been so long. Glad people are here!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Just a little update

Started playing the guitar. I found that it helps me lessen my screentime, and just feel more productive.

I also started writing more creatively, like poems.

I'll try to share some time.

For now, I'll try to rebuild the habit of writing online.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

I feel like I wasted a lot of my initial efforts by stopping writing

But, I also learned a lot more, and I found a new approach in life

Trying to be like other writers is really not for me

Do things your way, if it's that meaningful to you

You'll be happier

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

The real lessons in life, you will get from people.

I embodied this mindset for a long time now.

But, it never really hit me how true this statement is.

I've changed so much, and a lot of it is thanks to my university.

But, most of the credit is to the people I've met.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

College has been amazing so far.

Wonderful friends around me have taught me many valuable lessons.

Sureound yourself with people and you'll never stop learning.

Lately, I learn how to just accept help of all kinds, and to heal.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

@ItsMikeBraun That's true!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Recently I've been confused whether I love writing or not.

Unlike working out and becoming a doctor, I don't feel the desire to do it in my bones.

I realize I've been too hung up on the question, when I could just write.

Whenever I do, I realize I do love writing.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

What burned me out was moving to satisfy other people.

I replied, I monitored other people's accounts, but that's not what I want. I don't want to do marketing.

I want to write, and that's it.

It's not optimal for growth, but it's how I can enjoy the process.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

I finished a special hard writing commission today.

What's special about it is I didn't back away from it.

I always abandoned or stayed away from hard writing gigs,

but I saw this one true.

For the longest time I felt like my writing is cowardly and cheap

not anymore.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

My secret sauce to a productive day is a productive morning

once I get my morning down, all it takes are little efforts to keep the momentum going

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

I've been too focused on being a successful brand and what other people think of me

that I lost site of what I really want to do.

I want to write.

I got sucked into marketing and contacting people to get more followers.

From now on, I'll just write, and have fun.

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

@MaxRiznich06 Will slowly come back!

Life hit me HARD

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Hey everybody!

Had to take a short break *again*

I managed my college, took some rest, and figured out some internal questions like

why do I write and why do I do this

Also, I hit my 100kg deadlift OR earlier

looking forward to starting again!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Life kicked me down and said "this isn't for you.'

And my mind agreed.

When that happens, you can choose to just rest and relax.

But make sure you come back and you come back strong.

Remind yourself why the hell you're doing this in the first place.

I want to succeed!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Been gone for about 2 weeks

Had a really bad burnout, combined with the stress from completing college preparations

Was stuck in a bad rut, but I'm slowly reclaiming my life!

Looking forward to being more consistent again!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Just a bit of an addition

thanks to everybody who still interacts with me even if I can't interact as much

been resting and busy lately

Will be coming back soon!

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Reached a PR today

65KG for 2 reps on my squat @ 65kg bodyweight

Raised my zercher deadlift from 30 to 45kg as well

Day 22 was all about the gains 🏋️

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

Today was spent very productively

I worked on an order

I wrote on Quora

I helped with the laundry

I read my books again

Started studying Anatomy

I did mobility routines

And overall, I just started reclaiming my habits

This was Day 21

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

@ItsMikeBraun Exactly

[Miguel Purisima | Writer and Psychology Student @MiguelPurisima]

I haven't been on X a lot lately.

I just have a lot of things I need to attend to.

Nonetheless, I do my best to show up everyday, even if it's just to do my daily updates.

The important part is that you show up everyday.

Remember that.
