🧱 Code Comeback Diaries — Day 4: Cycles, Cracks, and a Comeback.

This is part of my “Code Comeback Diaries” series where I rebuild my focus, skills, and career — one day at a time.

📆 Date: May 26
🕗 Wake Time: 8:30 AM
🧠 Mood: Foggy but fighting
💪 Workout:

• 22 pushups

• 22 squats

• 25 situps

• 5 pullups

• 11-sec plank x2

🎯 The Day:

Started strong — physical movement, breakfast, portfolio tweaks (done in 15 mins).
But then came the drift.

I opened Instagram and LinkedIn to find clients — but ended up scrolling. No plan, just noise. Lost 3 hours in what was supposed to be a launchpad.

Then… came the dip.

🧨 Triggered by boredom again. I masturbated.
Slept for an hour. Woke up feeling off — and fell again. One hour of YouTube shorts.

But here’s the pivot point:

I didn’t stay down. I got up and made it count.

• ✅ Finished a full JavaScript lecture

• ✅ Explored GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) — wild tool for web animations

That felt like my own apology to myself. And maybe, just maybe, it was a small redemption arc inside the bigger one I’m writing.

⚡️ Value Drop of the Day:

💡 What is GSAP, and why you should learn it?

GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is like the Iron Man suit for JavaScript animations.
It lets you animate anything — text, buttons, scroll-based effects — with smoothness and control CSS can’t match.

Why you should learn it:

• Clients love micro-interactions

• It brings websites to life

• It’s used by brands like Google, Nike, and Netflix

🧠 Reflection:

Today wasn’t perfect — but it was honest.
And honesty is fuel for real progress.

Every time I fall and still post, I rewrite the script of who I’m becoming.
And this? This is just the origin story.

✍️ Mini Goals for Tomorrow

• Create a plan for reaching clients

• Think new website idea
