Island Journals

I’ll have to write this rant separate from my journaling because I feel like a whole different person whenever I have to think or deal with employees. For instance, I can’t say I’m in a pleasant mood and then turn my journal into a fit of rage. In Seychelles, the government prioritizes the employment of…

Mood: Good Weather: 27°C, ClearVaping: Vozol 12000 Puffs Cool MintLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles I’m not supposed to be vaping but here we are still at it. My “cool mint” device is at 10%. A few days ago my throat/chest was still feeling “odd” whenever I’d vape so I had to buy Fisherman’s Friend lozenges. I got…

Mood: Irritated Weather: 28°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles I’m so tired of being treated like I’m people’s backup. Believe me, there is a reason why the only people I want to be around are my immediate family members. With them, I feel wanted and they make space for me at the dinner table because I’m an integral…

Mood: Meh Weather: 28°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles Returned from my mother’s place a few hours ago and then my sister and I was discussing plans for the new business so I haven’t actually been able to sit down at the desk to type up an entry until now. Was disappointed because I went to collect the…

Mood: Motivated Weather: 28°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles I’ve been playing games and watching Instagram reels for the most part of the day that my eyes are seeing blur. But I thought I might as well jot down a few words anyway before the day is over. It’s June 1, which is also Children’s Day here in…

Mood: Motivated Vaping: Vozol 12000 Puffs Cool MintWeather: 27°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles I had to wake up a little bit earlier today because yesterday I had to go over the reconciliation form for the period of 2 weeks while I wasn’t in the country. The numbers are still not adding up so I invited my sister to…

Mood: Content Drinking: Coca Cola ClassicVaping: Vozol 12000 Puffs Cool MintWeather: 28°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles I’m drinking Coca Cola (regular) and it’s past 8pm. I just had a handful of Jelly Tots (purchased at Vimal Supermarket, Belombre) as well. I’m on a sugar high and my world feels complete for the few minutes when I’m downing a Coke.…

Mood: Meh Weather: 28°C, RainLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles Lately I’ve been feeling very emotionally numb. Anhedonia best describes it, which is actually not unusual but recently I don’t even have deeper thoughts which I usually do. When I first started this journal, I had very deep thoughts and so I needed a platform to jot them all…

Mood: Sleepy Weather: 29°C, ClearLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles My sister and I decided to go for a bit of a drive close to the south part of the island to get ourselves out of the house and to get our minds out of this closed space. I bought more snacks, yay! I’ve also been having an extremely…

Mood: Anxious Weather: 29°C, ClearVaping: Vozol 12000 Puffs Cool MintLocation: Mont Fleuri, Mahe, Seychelles Business has been relatively disappointing in the past 2 weeks, I’m developing anxiety over the business (my livelihood) as a result. Last night my sister and I had to have a progress and strategy meeting to recalibrate. When we first started our business, we strategized…
