I guess you’ve just gotta find something you love to do & then do it for the rest of your life. / Be the change you wish to see in the world 🌎 🗺️.

Substitute teaching piano today went better than yesterday. The students were a little more advanced so it was easier to teach. I was tired during bass guitar lesson and wanted the time to go by faster, which made me sad. OCD makes me stressed about the little things. It sucks.

I got to substitute teach piano today for three young students. It was stressful and frustrating, and the time went by slowly. Piano isn’t easy to learn. I can tell ya that much. I wish my life was free from OCD so I can live happier. Hopefully therapy helps at least a little.

Happy Sunday! Church was boring, like it normally is. Afterwards I went to see Newsies at the Hylton Center, followed by Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Kennedy Center, which was such a good show that I saw it again. I love seeing live theater! The show was fantastic!

I went to the DC Pride Parade 🏳️‍🌈 where I met up with people from Capitol City Circus School. It was hot outside but it still was a great time. Then I went to Kilroy’s with some friends, one of which just got released from jail this morning. This was a fun Saturday. Happy Pride!

This was another day where I stayed in bed for hours, then went to see a magic show in DC where I had lots of fun! Watching other magicians has inspired me to try out magic again. I worry I won’t find a K-12 music teaching job. I wish I had more people to text and hang out with.

This was an unproductive day. I sat in bed for hours. My OCD is making life miserable, so I cried during online therapy & my telehealth appointment, which was embarrassing. Underwater hockey tonight was fun though! In the videos, I’m the one with the full body suit and pink fins.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

For the first half of the day, I didn’t really do much, but after that I got to see Moulin Rouge The Musical at The Kennedy Center and had a really fun time! The show was absolutely phenomenal!

Today is my dad’s birthday 🥳🎁🎊🎂🎉🎈! My dad is a wonderful man. I’m so grateful to have him as a father. I like days like this where I have a lot of free time. I have two great teachers for guitar and bass guitar 🎸. I’m so beyond bored right now and don’t know what to do.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

I got in trouble at work cuz of my OCD. I wish so badly that my OCD would go away but that just won’t happen. I visited Georgetown University after work and rather than having fun, OCD got in the way and made the campus tour a miserable experience. I wish my life was much better.

Like yesterday, this was another busy but also fun day for me. Church was boring, as usual. Afterwards I went to a Filipino Independence Day celebration 🇵🇭 then hung out with some new friends at Firebirds restaurant in Gainesville. It’s always nice to spend time with others.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

This was a busy but also very fun Saturday for me. I started the day by seeing a dance recital at Hylton Center, saw a man play the guitar 🎸 at Alexandria Music Company, play the harp at a recital with Burke Piano Academy, then I ended the day by watching Newsies! Lots of fun!

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

I went to the Dave Chappelle show at CFG Bank Arena and am headed home now. The guy next to me started a conversation with me and I felt special as a result. I wish I could connect with him more but sadly I’ll never see him again. I wish I could make more connections with people.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

I got to see two shows today: Othello put on by Shakespeare Theatre Company and Manassas Ballet Theatre’s recital. What a good day this was!

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

Because I missed the ending the first time I saw the play, I went back a second time to see The Motion at Arena Stage. I feel the need to ask questions to everyone in ballroom dance about their majors and their jobs. It’s annoying that I can’t focus on what’s really important.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

Even tho I’ve found a new friend who I can text frequently, it still never feels like enough. I’m always lonely, especially at night time, & wish I had texts overflowing my phone. I keep checking my phone & I’m so used to getting nothing. It’s frustrating. I want more from life.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

Today is the 40th anniversary of my mom coming to the U.S., so my parents and I celebrated by eating dinner at Coastal Flats in Tysons Corner Mall. I have important decisions to make regarding my potential job as a K-12 music teacher in the fall, plus teaching piano on Saturdays.

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

A friend of mine introduced me to someone who was also looking for friends, and he and I texted a lot today which made me excited since I’ve been looking for that in life. I saw The Cappies Gala at DAR Constitution Hall, which was good but wayyy too long. I sure love theater!

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

A lot happened today. I started the day by going to the GMU Latino Alumni Chapter’s field day in Occoquan Park, went to the St. Mark’s Lutheran Church choir concert, then ended the day by seeing the Neil Diamond Tribute Concert at Capital One Hall. Overall I had a really fun day!

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

This was a relaxing day for me. I got to chill at home then head over with my mom to The Lyric in Baltimore to see Planet K-Pop! The show was so amazing. I wish it lasted longer. The choreography & singing were phenomenal. There was so much talent on the stage. What a great show!

[Emily Johnson @ejohnson314]

My mom and I fought because I wanted to put a dresser on top of the desk in my room and my mom didn’t want me to. A friend of mine is in jail rn and I feel awful. Life ain’t fair. I gotta try not to think about it too much and keep going on with my day to day activities.
