Oh it is so much harder to be a Christian than to appear Christian.

I think the rejection stings. But why does it sting? Only because I value it.
Oh that emptiness within me. That God would fill it. God promised. God has given many people. Sent many people. But wont God fill it directly? I don't wanna swap sins for a more socially acceptable version of sin. Neither do I wanna swap idols.
God?

Wow, I love this free time plus some sort of clarity of mind. This only happens at the end of holidays yknow. At the start of holidays you have no clarity of mind. You just slayed whatever stupid exam and you are tilted.

Can I whine? It is supposed to be that we have this taste of God while here on earth. A relationship that leads us longing for full access to God. Yet what? why do I not feel this way with God, and instead, with other things.

I am forlorn. Yet not forlorn. But I am, in a certain sense, forlorn. Man oh man. Why is this? Think i am really being taught to wait. Wait on God I guess. Every human instinct resists this, by the way.

Contrary to the activity on my blog, I have been writing some stuff, just that they are not really public.

Just watched a video about porn and some other shit. The idea is that these things, porn/sugary food/video games give off lots of pleasure at very little effort.

Welp. I just tilted in poker. Feels bad man. And I realised I am really not spending my time very wisely. Poker, Dota, whatevernot. Just trying to get short bursts of dopamine. think.. I should shift my time away from these activities. Played some mahjong too ytd. Guess maybe should socialise more (not just for the sake of socialising) and all. Perhaps im way too un-FOMO such that I might be content with an exchange spent playing computer but I think that would be unideal. Not who I want to be as a person. 
Think it would be ideal if i restart a reading habit. Needs effort tho. Like much effort. So instinctively I tend towards just playing something. To be fair, I am playing stuff that is challenging and not mindless like watching tv. Poker requires lots of skill, so does Dota and arguably chess. and of course, other aspects can be defended too e.g social aspect whatnot, preventing dementia.
Have been sleeping poorly, decided to go for frisbee. Went for frisbee and now my ankle hurts again. Sigh. But hopefully, a good night's rest. 
I think I need to re-orientate my life again. As always. Every few months. It becomes very easy to clutter up my life with all sorts of unimportant things. Need to run the de cluttering program, the defragmenter. And sort everything out according to an outline. Like God's outline. Hopefully my outline resembles God's outline somewhat.

Im in Naples right now, with a few people.

New years and Christmas has passed. Apparently these things are big here. I dont really care for either. Seems to be any other day to me. Especially now that I have stopped getting presents. Or rather the presents that I want cannot be given wrapped anymore.

Just read something about reality and appearances. I do tend to focus on appearances, especially insidious will be to be perceived as a good Christian. Much better to love God than to be thought of as loving God. And this post is an appearance. Just sayin.
