Dilly bar for a hard day's work and my 28th bday
It’s past 12 AM now, and I just finished all my work tasks. After a moment’s reflection, I realized that I just turned 28 years old.
With that, I decided to reward myself with a midnight snack of a DQ Dilly Bar, because why not?
I’ve trained myself in the past year not to consume sweets 6 hours before bedtime so as not to affect my sleep schedule. But today is my birthday and I have done so much work today 😪
On another note, while birthdays are supposedly days of reflection of one’s existence on earth, I don’t feel anything profound. These days, I feel such ennui more than ever. I don’t know why. Sometimes depression, too, because of the events happening all over the world—for one, the unbearable heat that’s a painful reminder of the irreversible effects of climate change. Second, the genocide in Palestine. Third, a lack of consistency and direction in my life. And many more, among others.
I’m not saying I’m unhappy. I simply feel unmoved by this momentous occasion, like it’s another day.
Nevertheless, I feel okay. It will take time for me to steer in a direction where I feel “more okay”.
Anyway, I keep on seeing and hearing the word “liminal” today. What could it mean?
Does this mean I’m in a state of transition? Perhaps the final phase between my 20s and 30s? Haha. Whatever it may be, I hope it pulls me out of where I am now.
Anyway, cheers to being 28🥤
