Wednesday
It’s after midnight, so it’s technically Thursday, but it’s my journal and I make the rules. With some big possible life changes in motion, I’ve been stressed from reaching out to old jobs for paperwork and facing the daunting task of possibly moving next month. At the same time, I’ve realized that people I thought were long gone from my life were never truly gone, and I’m beyond grateful for how they’ve taken time to help me out.
Despite the stress, I’ve been trying my best to enjoy the holiday season, which is my favorite time of year. I’ve made an effort to say yes to as many outings that my introvert-self can handle. Tomorrow, though, I’m staying in to watch a winter favorite, Love Letter (1995). It also happens to be my all-time favorite film from Japan.
Today continued the mild anxiety train, but I felt better after work thanks to spending some time tinkering on this here Bear site, squeezing in an hour at the gym that I almost skipped (felt so much better after going), and watching AEW Dynamite, which has become my midweek pro-wrestling mental decompression over the last few years. MJF returned tonight, and I was reminded why I love this sport.
