Day 40 — Not Perfect, But Still Here


📖 Day 40 — Not Perfect, But Still Here
It’s been a while since I wrote.
Life happened — exams, projects, assignments, research work.
Some days, I didn’t show up at all. Other days, I just did the bare minimum.
But when I open GitHub and look back at the last 40 days since July 15 —
I see almost all green boxes.
And honestly, that feels good.
Because even if some days weren’t perfect, I kept showing up.
✅ What I Did Today
Learned a bit of CSS
Nothing heavy — just slowly easing back after midsems
Midsems are finally done ✅ (though the datesheet for the next round + internals is already here 😅)
🧠 Reflections
Consistency isn’t about never missing a day.
It’s about not quitting when you do.
The flow got disrupted, yes. But I’m not starting from zero.
I just need about a week to wrap up projects, assignments, and research work — and then I’ll be back with full force again. 🚀
For now, Day 40 is alive. And that’s enough.
