My first formal journal entry:
Gratitude
· I got the teen burger today at A&W. It was on sale, so I took advantage of the opportunity.
· I am glad that my wife is sleeping with my son right now. This gives me the chance to write this journal.
· Thank you, Game Quitters, for inspiring me to write this journal.
Good
I did well by not wasting time on video games, social media, and YouTube.
Bad
I wish I was less distracted tonight when I was writing this journal. I got into a small and pointless argument on Facebook Messenger with a friend. I shouldn’t have bothered to check Messenger if I had planned to focus on writing this journal.
Insight
I’ve never been someone who was into writing journals. However, looking back, I wish I knew what I was thinking the night before I installed StarCraft II. I wish I knew what I was thinking on those days when I skipped classes. I think if I had more insight into my life much earlier, then I could have worked on my problems instead of hiding away from them.
