Day 36: The Reflection in the Screen

This morning didn't start productive but with some uneasiness.
You know that feeling when you've been trying to be productive but at the end, you just want to yap to someone for like 10 minutes? Because you're still human, right?
But there's just you and your reflection in the laptop screen on a project that's asking you to be productive while you wasted the last 2 days on "exhaustion" and all that jazz.
Today's Reality Check
Tried to work today. Didn't do much but got through:

ML: 1.5 hours
React: 1.5 hours

Not terrible, not great. Just existing in that gray area between doing something and doing nothing.

The Tomorrow Syndrome

What else? I guess I'll work from tomorrow because today's output was pointless. Just another excuse in the collection.
The cycle continues. The screen reflects back the same person who said "tomorrow I'll be different" yesterday.
Sometimes the most honest thing you can do is admit that some days are just... there. They exist. They pass. And that's okay.
The uneasiness isn't about the code. It's about the human behind the screen who needs to vent for 10 minutes but has no one to vent to except the void of social media.
