Hi there, how are you doing today?
It is sunny outside today, and I’m yet again reminded of you.
How are you doing these days? I’m happy to hear that you have something new coming into your life, something that you have to hush hush about for now. I don’t know why, or how, since I don’t even know what it is… but I felt kind of excited for you when I read it. My heart leaped a little.
I’m doing good these days. I’ve learned to take control of my own life, recently. If something was making me unhappy, I would find a way to resolve it. It could be to actually solve it head-on, or to avoid it. I used to view the latter as a sign of weakness, thinking that ignoring and avoiding was just plain weak. Of course, this didn’t stop me doing it back then. But these days, I see it differently. If it’s going to give me jitters and make me unhappy, I can take myself out of the situation.
What might happen is not within my control… but I can pull myself out of the situation if I want to. Last week, I stayed out both evenings at Gloria Jeans to finish up my assignments, nonetheless, but also to avoid being home where an argument might just break out. I knew I couldn’t handle the aftermath, especially in the midst of academic stress, so I took myself out of it. It felt nice, liberating, not having to worry if an argument might break out or not. And I was darn productive too.
