(Because life is rubbish if you focus on the bad.)

I realized a reason I like my job is because sometimes I’m legitimately helping people, whether it’s making their days or jobs a little easier, whether it’s by finding them whatever they need, etc. When someone genuinely says thank you, it makes me feel good inside, that I’ve done something worthwhile for them.

I’m making better use of the few chunks of time that I have available to me. So far, quick dinners and changing from work clothes into casual jeans and a hoodie have made all the difference.

Running around at Lunar New Year, dealing tickets on the DL to those who needed a fix, and just being able to relax for once, without worrying about anything or anyone.

Meeting up with DC and seeing familiar faces (and making awkward speeches, like a boss). I wish I could go to VIBE, but I’ll be at All Cal for sure :)

Now, home, listening to good music, and working on a research project proposal.

Maybe just not focusing on it will let it fix itself, because some things you can’t fix on your own.
