1 why am I here
Because i used to be on this site and IG it's nice to know someone else can read your words. The question isn't why do you journal. So I'll keep this to this .
2 who am I
I'm a creation of Allah, and i worship Him to the best of my capability.
I'm a citizen of Karachi and I've had peaceful ties with it's people if because I'm anti social, except I've had a row with some men because i seek who are avoidant of me.
I'm an internee unpaid employee at the appforgers.
I'm a daughter to a father who has difficulty connecting idk to women or humans in general. I'm not sure if i want to be saying this.
I'm a daughter to a wonderful beautiful mother who will only want for others what she likes. IG because there is this connection or maybe too much therapy posts just make me think of my parents as children.
I'm the elder sibling to two. One tries to maintain a connection. The other i cut off long ago because I felt betrayed or something.
I'm a 2022 march bachelors in software engineering graduate.
To my relatives I'd be nothing because some speak extra, they suggest what they think is good, cultural toxicity too much.

8 true beliefs regarding those things
9 feeling now
My lower limbs feel itchy because mosquito bites.
It's 7 12 i wish there was something savory since i wish is inappropriate. I'll go make something savory.
Been feeling unproductive.
Slept at 4 35 am and woke up at 5 45ish because power cut offs.
Tired, drained because i even tho have been to 3 interviews, 1st i didn't have any portfolio to showcase. 2nd the interview went good. I got selected. I already had red flags coming in my face. And later in selection my throat it did a somersault and it was VERY NOTICABLE. And also my dad didn't approve of the place. Tho that agency would've kept on 10,000 as an internee. Yet fate. 3rd downright degraded my work yet still wanted to keep me.
And this remote it's my lack of communication. After Eid they didn't inform after how long they'd give work. Being in the dark just keeps me in stress.
And then the last posters i made. I didn't even get any remarks. August is the last month. And i should be applying at more places.
Last i applied 6 days ago yet 6 June was the last proper I'd say sth call interview I'd where they asked me to sth and i actually liked this idea of theirs.
10 what to do to feel better
It's all messed up.
First i should fix my sleeping routine. The power cut offs just drive me nuts. It's quite ugly i should manage my sleep according to electricity cut off schedules.
I've seen this hack of ( i started browsing through hunza scented candles and i slept) for mosquitoes repellent citronella cedar wood.
