It’s been a good week except for the whole covid thing. It lasted only 2 days, but left me with a nasty cough. I’m gonna go visit my sister down south next tuesday; I’m really looking forward to that. I’m hoping this will give me ample opportunity to think, breathe and decide on the next steps of my life. I also tried out a new gym, which is closer to my house, last thursday. Going to a new gym is always a stress for me cause I never really know if it’s just going to be a bunch of “bros”, if you get my gist. Nothing ever happened, but loud people can make me anxious. To my surprise, it was mostly empty with the exception of some dudes here and there. I’ve also started listening to all the albums, I’ve been ignoring this year to compile my best of 2023 list.
I’ve been a bit depressed, as usual, but it was mostly manageable. It seems that my overall mood is a little bit more stable even though I have pretty harsh weeks at times such as last week…
It’s been mostly good. Sadly, my parents could not come because the consulate could not issue their visas on time, but we made the best out of what we had. I’ve now been resting at my sister’s place, and it’s been such a pleasant surprise. We had not lived together since she was 8(she’s 20 now), so it has been quite the experience for both of us. I’m flying back home tomorrow, and I’m already planning a return trip. I needed this break. I feel I could finally stop and take a breath of confidence and self-control. I haven’t had any depressing thoughts, and, more importantly, I feel like I was finally able to let go of some of the ghosts that have been haunting me this year. It was excruciating, but I’m happy I did it. I feel confident they won’t be coming back anymore to torture and taunt me. So, I feel I can finally start a new era in my life and move forward, one step at a time. Let’s hope I can keep the positivity. At least, for now, I think I got this and 2024 can bring it. :)
