Feeling dead and alive at the same time
This week I have been offered a higher grade position in a different department than the one I'm at.
Which caused my current department to raise a hissy fit because they earmarked me for a position.
It should feel gratifying, I should be happy and elated but I'm just not, just emptiness inside.

No one ever taught me how to deal with heartbreak & disappointment.
The vast emptiness inside, the void of feeling, inability to enjoy anything.
I'm holding on to the "it is what it is" & "this too shall pass" mantras
But it's so hard

professional life taking off, highly regarded in the company I work for - for the record is the best in the world at what it does- two departments eyeing me up for promotion
I should be happy, but I'm not, I'm empty inside, nothing excites me, just going through the motions with a cool exterior.

I vehemently hate apps that update without mentioning what's new or what's fixed in the update log.
Is it really difficult to do?
Just a few sentences mention what's new or what bugs you fixed

It's probably cliche at this point but my favorite place I've ever travelled to is Japan.
Made me fall in love with the region and plan trips to more of Japan, S. Korea, and many of the Chinese super cities as well as Hong Kong, I'll definitely plan a trip for each of those and more.

For more than a year now I have been having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, for the past month however when the work week is over, I get home and just crash out for 2-3 hours.
This is what happened today
Note: work week is Sunday-Thursday for us

This was taken on another day in Tbilisi when it was snowing
Here I really tried to showcase the snowfall but I didn't get the result I wanted, any tips from seasoned photographers?
This is the Saint George monument in Freedom square, Tbilisi.

At the time I was using Vivo X200 pro, a smartphone that remains my go to recommendation for point and shoot quick photography, the hardware is powerful and the software is intiutive and makes the process easy.

I took this photo nearly 14 years ago!
Wow time flies.
This was taken either on top of the parking structure or the noesbleed seats in Reser stadium, Oregon State University.
Really some of the best times of my life spent in Corvallis.
It's taken on a Blackberry Bold.

Got up for work, as usual I'm an extremely early riser.
Liked the way the sun rays went through the clouds, took a quick picture with my trusty oneplus open
No particular subject in the picture is kinda dropping it a few points, but I like it

I'm really liking the Huawei health app
Honestly in the grand scheme of things all the major health apps do the same things with minor variations here and there, it's just that Huawei present a more beautiful complete package, and I do find the insights helpful.

Sometimes, amidst the development and advancements here, I forget that while I live in a very rich country we are still third world
an incident occurs, like my nephew burning his hand on a stove and learning that the only burns unit is on Eid break, reminds me we still have a long way to go.
