CHAPTER 4: The Times They Are A-Changing
Entry #26: "Moving Right Along" 

Dear readers,

It's back to quarantine business as usual. To think that this is the current new normal. I know that the rest of the world continues to bitch about being locked away, but I've genuinely kept myself busy. I'm actually kinda tired right now. I am never not productive. Since locking myself away I took on the 100 days of sweat challenge for the 2nd time in my life, I sing and keep my machine oiled, I cook every day, I read every day, and I try to learn something new. I keep myself focused and in the zone. That way once this situation we are in takes us into its new world, I'll be ready. I should share some tips on how I keep myself focused. I will. Not today, but I will. The key to living life right now is to move right along with it. Even when you can not move, you set your mind to move forward. No one has time to be stuck in the past. If I'm being honest, I thought about doing that, before continuing to write in this diary of mine. I honestly didn't know how to move this story of mine forward. Now, I have a better understanding of how to move it right along. A lot of these thoughts are my inner thoughts. 

I don't have some fascinating life going on outside, so I have to look within me and tap into certain parts of myself to get myself to the next phase of my story. I'm figuring it out as I go. Over the last 2 days, my mind is adapting to the thoughts of a year older version of myself. I have a whole new sandbox within my inner thoughts to play with. That's a good thing, it keeps me creative during this confusing time. I would be lying if I didn't say I don't miss my loved ones. We all FaceTime basically every day, it's just really weird to go from being together to being apart. I don't think I have ever written down the original plan for this life of mine. It was not supposed to be like this right now, but here we are. Maybe I can write like a fan fiction version of this story. An else world alternate timeline. Lol, there goes my creative mind. What I'm trying to say is, I'm going to continue to let all these random thoughts out of my mind. Because I know somewhere down the line, they are going to pop up again. 

When they pop up again, I should be able to use them for something more. Until then, I'm honestly tired. I'm going to go to sleep. I'm working hard because I want to feel alive during this time. I feel alive, but most importantly, I feel happy. Also! Rest is important. Like I said, I'll talk about things that keep me sane, in another entry. But I gotta state that here. It's okay to be tired. We gotta rest up, a new world is ahead of us, as we continue to move right along

Love, Roy ​​
