At this point in my life, I am:

1. FINALLY recovering from burnout after reaching its peak!
2. Building a more stable foundation for my future
   • Improving my health and building confidence
   • Planning and saving to go to University next year
     • Why is the labour market so brutal??? Oof. I am having such a hard time even planning for a job (hire me if you have an open position -> https://ari.lt/hire)
     • I'm gonna explode
     • After ~70 sent out CVs, I still got only 4 responses :( What am I doing wrong? -- https://masto.doskel.net/@ari/116501226076654218
3. Finishing my final year of high school
   • No one told me how surreal it feels to be a senior at the ledge of graduating... Just over 1 month left essentially...
4. Living in Lithuania
5. Struggling to update my blog more consistently
6. Dealing with a lot of bureaucracy :')
7. Maintaining and improving public infrastructure and services
8. Building (im)practical solutions to (im)practical problems when I can
9. Caring for my cat Tina 🖤
10. Finished AND presented my brandos darbas, now preparing to open source it :)
11. Preparing for upcoming exams
12. Volunteering at https://0011.lt/ :D
13. Spending more time in nature (think long walks and stuff)
14. Exploring the depths of indie web
15. Learning to pace myself :)
16. Slowly coming back to my life pre-burnout

Current motto: such a paradox -- they need 10 years of experience to hire you, but to gain experience you need to get hired ... ?
