Finding Me

I'm no different

The pain, the struggles, the mistakes, it's all bound to happen and I'm no exception. Whether it be handling abuse, hitting rock bottom, depression, selling shares at the wrong time, failing subjects, awkward silences in zooms, failed sourdough attempts, it's all part of the journey. Even the little things like stubbing your toes and missing the bowl despite aiming directly at it.

Went to work today, I feel I did a good job. Scrubbing windows and cleaning showers has become my forte, I finally achieved the 'triple reflection' in the shower glass today. The boss invited me to lunch, sourdough ciabatta sandwiches, it was beautiful. The crunch of the charred crust from the woodfire, house-made rosemary aioli, smoked salmon, rocket and avocado. It was a Mozart Concerto. Specifically No. 21 in C major, second movement "Elvira Madigan".

Got a message from my bestie after that orgasmic sandwich, her car broke down. We had a nice chat, followed by some silence, it wasn't awkward, it was just fine. A light drizzle, sounds of cars speeding down the highway, some nice smooth jazz (John Coltrane), and frozen cokes from Macca's. Is it ok to remain in the moment for now? So simple, yet so warm, I can't help but smile.
