TDD stands for Test Driven Development, hah.
By: Grace.Exists
Tags: Test Driven Development, Tdd

I did a mock technical interview once and was asked to explain what TDD was. It sort of went like:

Interviewer: “What is TDD and explain instances of how you incorporated this.”

Me: “Uhh, come again?”

Interviewer: “TDD?”

Me: “Sorry, could you remind me of what that stands for again?” (Felt pseudo-smart about directing a question back)

Interviewer: “Sure, Test Driven Development?”

Me: “Ahh, yes” (Translation: “Ah, noooo” as heart rate spikes)

…I’m going to stop sharing right here because I don’t even recall the hodgepodge of nonsense I tried to jam into not only the blank space handed to me but the entire volume of the interview room.

So look, I was more of a novice than I am now, cut me some slack — I now know this is something I need to get acquainted with and apply. That being the case, I present to myself, “Test Driven Development”:

What is it?:

Basically a programming practice that ensures that new code is only created only when written test has failed.

Why do we need it?:

It allows us to design, plan, document before we build out the code and through each test we get closer to proving that our code accomplishes the design. Essentially, this practice which focuses on breaking things down into smaller pieces, yields to clearer and more comprehensible code and less needing to debug.

How does it work?

Decide what we want our code to achieve. Write a test that will pass if the code does just that. Run the test to make sure that the code fails. Proving that the code fails is crucial. If and only if it does fail, go ahead and write the code. Run the written code for it to pass. Knowing that it passes, refactor, optimize, and repeat this process for every single method, every couple lines of code, everything that you are building!

Yay.

Things to keep in mind:

Be sensible. Some things are just too difficult to test! And some tests can be too minor to be of real use.

Over-testing exists.

There are cases when you cannot simply start with writing a test because you do not know what you want to achieve yet. As soon as you have messed around a bit and have an idea, stop everything and write a test!

How to Parameterize Python Tests Using Pytest
By: Smith Wilbanks
Tags: Programming, Python, Software Development, Pytest, Tdd

A Motivating Example

I’m working on a class that implements a single-variable polynomial, which is a mathematical expression for a sum of terms, where each term is a constant multiplied by the variable raised to a non-negative power.

For example,

4x³ - 2x

is a polynomial expression. This polynomial can be modelled as a list where each element is a term, and each term is itself a list with the coefficient and exponent. The above polynomial could be modelled in the following way:

[[4, 3], [-2, 1]]

With my Polynomial class, I can create the corresponding polynomial object in the following way:

As I grow the functionality of my Polynomial class, I need to test it. One characteristic of a polynomial is that the exponents are non-negative integers, so I will write a test that checks the exponents for that condition. The derivative of a polynomial is also a polynomial, so I should check those exponents as well. In addition, the string representation of my polynomial must have a leading minus sign if the coefficient with the largest exponent is negative, so that needs to be checked.

Now for poly above, I have 3 tests:

Are all exponents non-negative integers? Are all exponents of the derivative non-negative integers? Does the string representation have a leading minus sign if the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent is negative?

Here’s a very direct way to write these tests:

This lets me test the functionality of the polynomial object with those specific terms, but if I want to test a polynomial with different terms, then I have to write a new test.

This might work for a very small number of objects and edge cases, but it will quickly becoming overwhelming as more objects need to be tested and more test cases need to be checked for each object.
A Simpler Way to Test Your React Application
By: Johnny Lim
Tags: Bdd, JavaScript, Testing, React, Tdd

“The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you” — Kent C. Dodds, creator of the react-testing-library.

Writing tests is like eating your veggies: it is something everyone knows that they should do, but not everyone does. Spearmint provides a simple way to write tests that give you confidence your React application will work in the way your users interact with it.

Using spearmint, developers can easily generate React tests by using our user-friendly GUI. It dynamically converts user inputs into executable Jest test code by using DOM query selectors provided by the react-testing-library. We chose react-testing-library over Enzyme because it guides developers to focus on testing user behavior rather than testing implementation details. By leveraging react-testing-library, our application provides our users with more stable tests that do not break when refactoring or gives false positives due to shallow-rendering.

Fun fact: The origin of the word “debugging” comes from Grace Hopper removing a moth that was causing the Mark II Aiken Relay computer to malfunction. Did you know that moths are repelled by spearmint?

How it works

On the initial screen, enter the URL of your project and load your React application to start creating tests.

2. Utilize our auto-complete, drop-down options, and tooltips features to easily create arrangement, action, and assertion test statements.

3. Refer to the browser view of your app that is displayed on the right to quickly identify values for your selectors and use the file directory to open up a code editor view to easily refer to your codebase for props information.

4. Spearmint will then convert user input to dynamically generate a test file that will be saved inside a __tests__ folder, which you can use to run ‘npm test’ on.

Thanks for Reading!

Our team pledges 5 hours of development for every 100 Github stars we get on spearmint! Star us to speed up development for an easy way to test your React applications. We would greatly appreciate any feedback — bug reports, feature requests, positive support, constructive criticism etc! Please email spearmintjs@gmail.com if you are interested in contributing.
Enzyme vs react-testing-library — A TDD/BDD comparison with examples
By: Johnny Lim
Tags: Bdd, JavaScript, React, Enzyme, Tdd

Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to test your React Components by manipulating , traversing, and asserting the output.

With using the Enzyme library, developers are more likely to lean towards testing the implementation details (unit testing) of their React application because of its query selectors and availability of shallow rendering.

With that in mind, let’s jump right into an example of how Enzyme would test for these things.

import React from 'react'

import Button from '../components/button'

import {shallow, configure} from 'enzyme';

import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';



configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });



test('onClick called', () => {

const wrapper = shallow(<Button />)

wrapper.instance().onClick = jest.fn()

wrapper.update()

wrapper.instance().handleClick('junk')

expect(wrapper.instance().onClick).toBeCalledWith('junk')

})

Here we are checking to see if our event handler function is getting called correctly when we click the button. Because the event handler function is a mock function, we don’t know whether the todo actually gets rendered on to the screen. This doesn’t give us confidence that our application is working in the way we intended. However, testing implementation details still has its place: especially if you are dealing with components with complex business logic.

Another limitation with enzyme is its availability of shallow rendering. Common wisdom is that if you don’t need to render any of the child components, you should make use of shallow rendering to speed up the time it takes to run your tests. However, what shallow rendering does under the hood is that it returns a JavaScript representation of the component and gives us utilities for traversing it — this means you are not actually interacting with DOM elements. With shallow rendering you can’t gain much confidence that your app is working in the way it’s intended to be used by your users.

Learn more about shallow rendering in this excellent blog post: Why I Never Use Shallow Rendering

Next, we’ll look into how you can follow a behavior driven development approach with the react-testing-library. Let’s dive in!
Test Driven Development (TDD)
By: Yudhistiro Agung N
Tags: Typescript, Jest, Tdd

The benefit of using TDD approach :

Safer Refactoring

Once you’ve got a test passing, it’s then safe to refactor it, secure in the knowledge that the test cases will have your back. If you’re having to work with legacy code, or code that someone else has written, and no tests have been written, you can still practice TDD. You needn’t have authored the original code in order for you to TDD. Rather than thinking you can only TDD code that you have written, think of it more as you can only TDD any code you are about to write. So if you inherit someone else’s untested code, before you start work, write a test that covers as much as you can. That puts you in a better position to refactor, or even to add new functionality to that code, whilst being confident that you won’t break anything.

Fewer Bugs

TDD results in more tests, which can often result in longer test run times. However, with better code coverage, you save time down the line that would be spent fixing bugs that have popped up and need time to figure out. This is not to say that you might be able to think of every test case, but if a bug does come up, you can still write a test first before attempting to fix the problem, to ensure that the bug won’t come up again. This also helps define what the bug actually is, as you always need reproducible steps.

Increasing Returns

The cost to TDD is higher at first, when compared to not writing any tests, though projects that don’t have tests written first usually end up costing more. This stems from them not having decent test code coverage, or any at all, making them more susceptible to bugs and issues, which means more time is spent in the long run fixing those. More time equals more money, which makes the project more expensive overall. Not only does TDD save time on fixing bugs, it also means that the cost to change functionality is less, because the tests act as a safety net that ensure your changes won’t break existing functionality.

One Espresso Please…
By: Kunal Sale
Tags: Espresso Testing, Instrumentation Testing, Android, Ui Testing, Tdd

In this article, I will cover basics of UI testing and Espresso library in Android which is used to do UI test.

First, Let's analyze how a user interacts with an app.

Opens the app. Locate some UI or views. Acts Waits for the result and sees the changes accordingly in the UI.

I usually perform the same steps manually to test the app in the development phase. I’m sure most of you might be doing the same as well, but this time instead of performing it manually, I did automated UI testing.

Automated UI testing falls under Instrumentation testing as it requires a physical device or Emulator to perform the testing. Unlike unit test, it doesn’t run in the JVM environment, but it needs to run in the same process as the app. Let’s take a look at the Espresso library now.

In Android, we have Espresso framework which is widely used for the UI testing. It provides the APIs to simulate the user interactions within the single target app. Espresso runs the test cases when the main thread is idle so it provides synchronization with the UI.

Basic ingredients of Espresso:

ViewInteraction:

It provides an interface to interact with the view such as to perform a task or assert the value.

It takes the ViewMatcher object to search for a view in a hierarchy.

View has to be part of the hierarchy else exception will be thrown.

ViewMatcher:

It defines different criteria for the view which is to be searched.

If there are views with common properties like resource id’s, etc, then we need to provide multiple ViewMatchers to search a View.

ViewActions:

Once the view is found we can perform any action on it. In order to perform any actions, Espresso provides ViewAction.

ViewAssertion:

ViewAssertions provide collections to assert the result of any action or view.

Concepts are better understood when we actually try it out. Let’s take a trivial screen like below where there are 3 views:

1. Two Image buttons with + and — signs and one TextView.

Use cases:
[Spring Boot] How to stub @AuthenticationPrincipal argument with Spring-Security in Unit Tests
Tags: Junit, Spring Boot, Unit Testing, Tdd, Spring Security

There may be some situations where user information is required as part of business logic. Quite often, this process takes place after authentication. In this article, let us find out how user information can be obtained as well as how to write unit tests for such cases.

First of all, let us look at a sample controller below. Using Spring Security it is possible to obtain information of the current logged-in user by using @AuthenticationPrincipal .

For the purpose of testing, we hope to invoke /username endpoint to get the username. But unlike @RequestParam or @PathVariable (where we can inject right into the URL) or @RequestBody (where we can pass in the content and content type) injecting user information might not seem natural.

When using MockMvc , it is possible to resolve custom argument and let us see how to do that. For this, let us create a custom argument resolver class where it returns a pre-defined user information. This seems adequate because when using JWT token, the token is likely to be verified before the reaching the implementation of the /username endpoint.

The 10 Commandments of ESG Investing
By: Sasja Beslik
Tags: Esg Investing, Finance, Esg, Investing, Climate

1. Above all else, it is about people and planet.

The main question to always ask is whether these investments and underlying assets (corporates, projects, derivatives, bonds, etc.) contribute to a more or a less sustainable world now and in the future. In the financial industry, we are making investment decisions for clients who have trusted us to do so. We need to understand and respect their motivations.

2. You must allocate significant resources.

Integrating ESG or taking the juice of the analysis insights demand significant resources in terms of analysis, knowledge and experience. This is not add-on service offered along the traditional mainstream investment products and packaged in a nice brochure.

3. You must be patient.

Most of the results, both the financial ones and people n’ planet related ones take time to achieve. Whatever else they tell you, it is not true.

4. It will be painful.

Shifting existing business models and behaviours in the context of investments, people and planet is hard work — full of struggle, conflicts and contradictions. Change in any form or shape always attracts frictions and often meets resistance.

5. You must be consistent.

Shifting existing financial and investment mechanisms to serve both people and planet requires consistency across capital flows. You cannot give with one hand (invest in and lend/finance sustainable solutions) and take away with the other (invest in and lend/finance non-sustainable solutions).

6. You will be forgiven.

Given the time aspects and process bias, ESG leaves enough room for improvement for anyone that is consistent and wants to improve the people and planet aspects.

7. You must remember S and G.

Yes, within the E of ESG sits climate change and global warming, and the E of course has the most prominent role given state of planet. But without the S and the G all is lost, even for the climate.

8. You must go beyond data.

Yes, ESG data is important. And the data quality is improving year by year, although at a slow rate. But data is not all. Analysis eats data for breakfast, always.

9. You must understand the limits.

There is no one-size-fits-all. And there is no single solution to solve it all. Some geographies, sectors and assets are hard to transform. And some people in the financial industry will never change.

10. You must always focus on outcome.

Forget about processes, brochures and nice stories. What’s important is what you get. Tangible outcomes are king.
Every day need to be Earth Day!
By: Sunil Pachar
Tags: Sustainability, Earth Day, Esg, Earth, Climate Action

Earth has been into existence much before we humans devised days or calendar. Had Earth had the option , it would have declated the day humans arrived on it as “Human Day” and similarly a day for the each specie whenever it arrived on earth, It kind of sounds funny that we late-comers on Earth have dedicated just 1 day from our annual calendar for mother Earth.

This Earth Day, the least we can all do is URL (Unlearn, Relearn & Learn) that Earth is not land or soil only but it stands for the whole planet. It is we who occupy minuscule space & came here on Earth for minuscule time, when compared to the timescale of Earth.

What we need to be understand is that Earth comprises of 5 elements (Air, Water, Fire, Space & Earth) and that too in a very harmonious rhythm. Any imbalance in the composition/ratio of these 5 elements causes havoc on Earth directly or indirectly. All creatures on this earth are also made up of these 5 elements only and thus each creature has to work towards maintaining balance of these 5 elements within their own body as well as in their surroundings. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we tried via various programs like UNEP or Paris climate deal or UNSDG, the balance of these 5 elements is completely out-of-sync on the whole planet and so in our bodies. As a consequence world is struggling to find clean water for all, struggling to have enough fertile land to grow food for all, struggling to find solutions ro defer the global warming, struggling to find means to pull-back excess carbon from atmosphere, struggling to clean-up the mess in space etc! The current pandemic as well as all other climate-change related issues are for sure an outcome of this imbalance only.

If we have learnt something from ongoing pandemic then we can atleast make two commitments/promise to ourselves i.e.

I would do whatever it takes to: Being AirWise, Being WaterWise, Being FireWise, Being SpaceWise & Being SoilWise I will celebrate Earth Day everyday

They sound so simple & maybe too less also but as such its no easy feat. The solution for all the mess Earth is in, doesn’t lie with one single nation or one international body. Every creature on Earth is abiding by the rules of the game, except humans. Now is the time, we humans also proclaim that each and every human on Earth would not do any foul play and will abide by all rules of the nature! Happy Earth Day!
Adding Basic Auth authorization option to OpenAPI/Swagger documentation — Java Spring
By: Hamza Sabljakovic
Tags: Open Api, Java, Spring Boot, Rest, Swagger

Authorize button for basic auth

This is a short guide on how to enable Open API/Swagger UI support for Basic Auth. To further clarify, this will NOT protect your APIs with a Basic Auth mechanism but rather give you a way to modify Open API/Swagger configuration to reflect APIs that are already protected with the mentioned method.

We will assume you have already successfully setup the OpenAPI/Swagger documentation for your project and the focus will be on the Basic Auth part of the configuration. Worth mentioning is that the following example is built using a great docs library — springdoc.org.

All the configuration is done in a single place and everything required can be achieved with the following three annotations.

Adds global basic auth authorization option

The above settings are global, which means it will be applied to all the endpoints. However, there are cases when we have to use multiple authentication methods, let’s say the main auth mechanism is OAuth2 but the /health endpoint (utilized for the internal operations) needs Basic Auth. That as well can be achieved in a very simple way.

Basic auth authorization on a specific endpoint

This configuration requires adding the @Operation annotation on the request handler method and specifying the schema name — the one defined in the @SecurityScheme anotation.

Of course, the configuration bean now needs to be updated to remove the section that makes it global.
Have you been looking for true rest?

Day 27: Anybody tired?

Photo by Adrian Swancar on Unsplash

Isn’t it weird how we can get tired from doing nothing? I study and eat for most of my day and still, my body feels tired. Mentally tired, of course, because I am using my brain a lot, but why do I feel physically tired at times? My body is bored, I guess. I don’t know what it is, but surely I need rest. Should I take a nap? Um, no. How about YouTube, or Netflix, or reading interesting articles? That sounds more fun. What kind of tired am I really? Too many questions.

I have been thinking about rest recently. I do not just mean sleeping or taking naps, or even watching a movie. We are designed as creatures who need rest. Why? That is a whole mystery on its own, perhaps we can start at the beginning. Genesis, God creates everything, and then on the seventh day, he decides to rest. It is weird how accustomed I have gotten to that. Wait! God does not need to rest, he never gets tired. Why did he choose to rest then? I don’t know. Tell me if you know. I take these curious uncertainties as little doors that God put in His word to start a conversation, one could even call it an icebreaker. So wild. Or just think about the importance of rest days as you workout, or resting with meditation and prayer to start a productive day. Resting is to humans as air is to the lungs. It is necessary.

So where do we find true rest? Jesus says,

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 ESV

Oh, I would love some rest, thank you, Jesus. But what does that look like? I stumbled upon a quote by Oswald Chambers concerning this verse,

“ ‘And I will give you rest,’ i.e., I will stay you. Not — I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but — I will get you out of bed, out of the languor and exhaustion, out of the state of being half-dead while you are alive; I will imbue you with the spirit of life, and you will be stayed by the perfection of vital activity.” — Getting There by Oswald Chambers

This is so good it gives me a headache thinking about it. Resting does not mean going to bed and falling back into our spiritual slumber. It seems contradictory, but it is not. God wants us to rest and be alive. We rest in his loving arms and in his sovereignty. Resting is not equivalent to laziness and lethargy. To engage in the kind of rest only God can provide we have to run to Him, our hearts will be made alive.

Next time I feel tired, I don’t want to run to a comfortable movie that numbs my exhaustion. I want to run, not walk, run to His presence. Oh, God give us grace and rest. The word of God is faithful and true, it is a mirror that shows me who I am, and a light that tells me where to go. It is beautiful. Although I admit, it can be boring sometimes. But that’s because I am boring, God is never disengaged or passive with his love towards me.

Be encouraged, every time you open the word to seek Him, He delights in it and is committed to transforming you and making you pure and holy.

Bye, dreamer.

Major Habits that Disturb Your Night’s Sleep
By: Abhishek Kumar
Tags: Sleep Disorders, Night, Sleeping, Sleep, Rest

A healthy sleep is one of the basic requirements of the human body, but the work-life balance of the people has really disturbed their daily schedule. And over it, the influence of technology is really wreaking havoc in the sleeping habits of the people.

As a result, people do not get that fulfilling sleep at night, stay sleepy and irritated the entire day. However, I would say that this is all the fault of the people themselves and here are some of the habits that deter a good night’s sleep:

Using Smartphones on Bed:

If sleeping was not a necessary aspect in life, I think people would have never left their smartphones even for a second. And they take their hands off this thing only when it falls of their hands to their nose under the influence of sleep. Mind you! This is one of the worst habits that disturbs your sleep. Stop using your smartphone at least 30 minutes before you intend sleeping and make sure to keep it at some distance, not under your pillow.

Tea, Coffee, Junk Food at Night:

If the last meal of the day, before you sleep, contains caffeinated beverages or junk food like pizzas, burgers, pastas, and deep-fried food, this is bound to disturb your stomach. And in turn, this would disturb your sleep. So, if possible, do not take any form of junk food at night and if you did, make sure you take a stroll to help your body digest it.

No Physical Activities in the Day:

For most people, their day begins with waking up and finishing the daily tasks quickly, having breakfast while looking at the smartphone, sitting for 8 to 10 hours on desk at office, returning home, having dinner, operating the smartphone at bed, and sleeping. There are no sorts of healthy physical activities that foster sleep at night, and this has a great impact on the body as they age. So, make sure you get your daily dose of exercises and at least walk a couple of miles just like that.

These are some of the major activities that disturb your sleep at night, and this is something really deteriorating for the human body. Just as healthy food is a basic need, healthy sleep is absolutely essential for your body. You may have all the money in the world, if you cannot sleep well at night, you have absolutely nothing.
Sleep Meditation for Insomnia

Tonight’s sleep meditation will help melt away your insomnia and fall asleep.

Surrender to the soft blue energy of sleep tonight,

As the insomnia melts away,

And peaceful rest covers you.

So Let’s Begin…

RELAX INTO THE STILLNESS SLEEP MEDITATION SCRIPT

Allow yourself to settle,

Snuggling into your favorite sleeping position,

And close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in, letting your body expand with fresh air,

And exhale, allowing your body to melt deeper into comfort.

It’s time to rest, beautiful.

There’s nowhere you need to be, nothing you need to do.

So come with me into dreamland.

PAUSE…

Feel the heaviness of your eyes.

Feel your cheeks soften,

Dropping your tongue from the roof of your mouth as your jaw releases.

Let your shoulders soften and lower,

Let your arms feel heavy,

Your fingers melt.

Feel your chest rising and falling as you breathe in just a little longer, and exhale just a little more.

Relax your stomach,

Let your legs let go and get heavier with relaxation.

Let your feet release.

And feel the cool air on your nose as you breathe in,

And the warm air on your nose as you breathe out.

Breathe,

Just breathe.

LONG PAUSE…

Now imagine that there’s a soft, blue energy floating above you.

Like a soothing cloud of mist, this soft blue energy hovers above you.

You feel safe and calm, so you invite it in.

Now imagine that soft, blue energy pouring over your head slowly.

You immediately feel it soften you, relax you, nourish you…release you.

Feel the soft, blue energy on your head, relaxing your face, your shoulders, your chest.

Melting your arms, fingers, stomach, hips, thighs, legs and toes.

Imagine the soft, blue energy is now at your feet, patiently waiting.

As you breathe in, let your breath search for any areas of unrest, any thoughts or discomforts that may be keeping you awake.

Let every inhale help you find them within your body.

LONG PAUSE…

And now imagine that with every breath out,

you release them all to the soft, blue energy at your feet.

Breathing those thoughts or discomforts down to your feet and out of your body.

And watch as the soft, blue energy absorbs them all.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

LONG PAUSE…

Take one more look inside and release all that unrest on your outbreath.

LONG PAUSE…

Feel the heaviness of your body.

Feel the lightness of your mind.

And notice the deep, relaxed comfort you feel.

LONG PAUSE…

Now see that soft, blue cloud of energy at your feet.

You can see all your thoughts and feelings of unrest swirling inside of it.

They’re not yours to hold onto anymore.

And every time you breathe out,

You notice the soft, blue energy dissolve away.

Bit by bit.

Every time you exhale.

A bit more disappears.

Until you look down and see…nothing.

Notice the relief you feel.

Notice the lightness.

Notice the freedom.

Breathe with ease, my love,

You are free to fall asleep.

So let your body relax,

And surrender into the arms of the night.

Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.
I AM MOTHER!..THE CURE FOR THE OVERWHELM
By: Matilda Okufi
Tags: Productivity, Personal Development, Performance, Rest, Overwhelm

There is an awkward strain in society today, pulling on everyone to be more. Even though many times we are not certain what that more is, we carry on and use others as a standard of what our more should look like. It’s incredibly tough!

There is an overwhelming pressure to perform and get it right on many fronts. We juggle relationships, responsibilities, children, work, passions, hobbies, dreams, plans, learning, personal development, self-care and fitness, social media, social lives, financial goals, culture, religion and diets — how do we hold it all together. It is tough!

The more has quite quickly become too much. We need to lay it all down and simplify. Hit refresh, reflect on the what truly matters and take things a day at time. It’s a cure for the overwhelm. Yes we can be more, yes we can do more but by what standards? Clarity comes when we embrace stillness because when we get quiet we hear. We hear ourselves and see things more objectively and clearly.

When we see clearly, we are postured better for following a clear cut direction, we grow in confidence and are better able to accept who we are as individuals. Acceptance means we are able to tread a more individual and I dare say, simpler path. If we are truly honest with ourselves, this is a road less travelled by most.

Peace has its root in purpose and purpose has its root in identity. We have been afforded a better liberty, it comes first from slowing down, getting still, then looking up and within. The ease will flow from this place I know, because it becomes more simply about us, not anyone or anything else. This definitely takes the pressure off, it cures the overwhelm.

I’ve been there and I’ve come back. It’s taken me taken years and seasons to get still enough to take the layers and layers of expectation and pressure off. Now I’ve found my own pace, place and space. It gives me great peace to no longer be swayed by the pressures and expectations that people, situations and my own insecurities placed on me. It has been a journey of reflection, self-discovery, transformation and acceptance and it continues to be. But alas I have found the cure for overwhelm.

Some Days, I’m Tired

Some Days, I’m Tired

Most days I’m okay and I look forward to what I get to do. I wake up energized for what my days bring. I can keep my chin up and persevere.

But some days are more difficult than others. A few weeks ago, I woke up and nothing was exciting. I felt unmotivated and my body felt heavy. It was a struggle to get through the day. Every task felt like a chore. I was drained and I don’t really have an explanation for how I was feeling.

I wrote this in my journal, in what was a culmination of a week of feeling this way:

“I feel kinda tired. Like I’m doing things out of obligation. I feel unmotivated. It’s like nothing is exciting. I can do things that comfort me but the new things I’m doing aren’t exciting me. I don’t know. I guess I’m feeling drained and I don’t know what will give me energy. And the things I need to do feel like they’re leaking energy from me.”

I capped this off by staring at the ceiling, listening to Taylor Swift’s This is Me Trying. I had felt this way for a week which is not to say that that week was altogether terrible. I continued on with my tasks, checking off items on my checklist and attending my Zoom calls. I had my small wins and I still found my pockets of comfort. I should’ve been fine. But an air of tiredness hung over me.

My weariness sunk in and had me reflecting on where I was placing my energy. I wondered if I was stretching myself too thin, if I was pursuing things I shouldn’t be. I questioned if I was entirely unhappy with where I am in my life. But truthfully, I don’t think I am. I’m still grateful for what I am able to do on most days. I think it was just plain exhaustion. I was tired, the same way I suspect so many people are too.

I don’t have a tried and tested approach to snapping myself out of this. I don’t actually believe this is something that one could snap out of. So I reflected and prayed. I called up my friends and went on a walk then a drive. In short, I gave myself time to recollect myself. Gradually, my spirits picked up and I returned to how I usually feel.

I think sometimes we think that if you love what you do, you’re supposed to be enjoying every second of it. If it’s something meaningful to you, why are you getting tired of it? Should you leave and find what unfailingly sparks joy for you? I don’t know if there’s such a thing.

You’re allowed to feel your exhaustion. You need that rest. You need that break. Your body is not an enemy because it does not function like a machine. Neither is your mind. Listen to it.

If you’ve been in the same headspace I was in, I hope you’re okay. This doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong place. Sometimes this is what the right path looks like, tiresome and lonely. This doesn’t mean you’re failing. This is just how it is sometimes. You do everything right and then the fight goes out of you.

On those days, you can pause. Thank you for showing up.
Resting in My Father’s House
By: Lets Faith It
Tags: Christianity, Hope, Resurrection, Heaven, Rest

I walked by my sister’s room as she slept after coming back from college for the first time this semester. My mom and aunt were saying how my cousin sleeps the same peaceful and deep sleep at home when she visits. The rest one has in their parent’s house is a sound and serene rest, knowing there is someone there who cares for them, someone there who protects them; they are in the responsibility of their parents where sacrificial and unconditional love are all bundled under one roof. That rest comes naturally, knowing one belongs at home and can always be accepted and loved there.

When the Bible talks about our death, oftentimes our Lord describes it as rest and not a death. We have merely fallen asleep and are still very much alive with Him. Why then though, in this season of the Church where we read of the end of times and the completion of our short life on this Earth, does the sanctuary fill with a fearful hush, and our hearts become heavy thinking of our deaths? Are we dying at the end of our lives? Or if we have been striving to be with our Father, are we simply sleeping, waiting for Him to wake us up and resurrect us with Him?

The Way, the Truth, and the Life “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” John 14:1–4

The end of times is really the beginning of infinity for us. We must have hope that so long as we are striving to be with God, we will be with Him. If we are rooted in His sacraments, obeying His word, what more could we do? In 1 Corinthians 15:16 we read, “For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.” I can’t help but feel Saint Paul wrote this verse in this way very intentionally. He didn’t say “For if Christ does not rise, then the dead are not risen”, but the opposite. I think this message emphasizes even more so the fact that we can all have that same exact resurrection as Jesus! We His children can all be crucified with Him, and risen with Him, and not a single person falls short of that promise, so long as we are faithful servants. As in the gospel of Saint Luke when the master returns to his stewards at any time, they must always remain faithful and honest to receive their just reward¹.
An ode to the most fucking beautiful time of year

The flowers are out, Venus is shining (at night, look up, it’s just over there). We are all angry and we are all grieving, but this is the most fucking beautiful time of year. So today, an ode to angry joy:

Dear everyone walking around outside, ambling, distantly, avoiding one another, thank you, we are all in this together.

Dear strangers in cloth bandanas, breathing your own carbon, thank you for protecting me.

Dear neighbor I’ve never met, I’m weeding my front garden for the first time, beside you, let’s fight these weeds together.

Dear lilacs, fuck you, you smell so good but I’m not allowed to stick my nose in you, I’ll just pretend I’m sniffing you today, sorry I said fuck you, it’s not your fault, maybe I’ll buy a lilac candle online instead.

Dear friends I bump into on the street, but not bump, never bump, but happily stand six feet away from, your masks look so nice, thank you for the air hugs.

Dear Rock Creek Park, you really are endless, thank you for providing us new places to explore, to dive-bomb into bushes so we can avoid passersby.

Dear strangers in windows, howling at the moon at eight o’clock on the dot, let it loose, baby, let out your voice from your shelter-in-bedroom.

Dear people on texts and Zoom and Snaps and what have you, dear people walking on Facetime letting whoever you’re talking to see your dog poo, I see you and everyone trying to connect.

Dear people suffering, dear people who have lost loved ones already, dear people who have lost your jobs or sense of security, I’m so sorry, I will not ignore you, I know sometimes it is not possible to choose joy.

But when you can, grab hold. Take it in your fists, wring it by the neck. Take a nap if you need it, dream, wake up, dream again, and move.

Dear everyone, please listen. We are all angry and we are all grieving, we’re all on our phones and computers for digital connection, it’s still weird but it’s getting less weird, and we all go outside when we can’t take it anymore, because outside is still outside and trees are still trees and flowers are still flowers, and it feels like a joke that right now is the most fucking beautiful time of year, but it still is, so when you are able to take a break from anxiety and anger, please get out there and fucking ENJOY IT.
Urban Walking Offers Benefits

A longtime resident of Brooklyn, New York, Barry Baldwin spent nearly three decades as a bus operator for the NYC Transit Authority. Now retired, Barry Baldwin of New York stays active by lifting weights and walking about 20 miles per month.

For centuries, people have turned to walking in nature as an antidote to mental and physical ailments. Recent studies also suggest that walking in cities can offer many of the same benefits while providing its own unique advantages. Here are a few:

1. Promote physical health — Like many other physical activities, walking in the city can alleviate stress as well as reduce risks of heart attack, stroke, and obesity.

2. Connect to the neighborhood — Urban walking helps individuals connect to the people and places in their immediate neighborhood. A 2018 study in the United Kingdom found that individuals who walked through lively city streets were less anxious and felt more connected to their lived environment.

3. Save the urban environment — Many cities have issues of noise and air pollution-related to the pervasive use of vehicles. Walking reduces reliance on vehicle transportation, which helps improve air quality for all residents.
