after the most soul-destroying 10 hours of your life, the reward of the beer in the fridge at home is kind of a pillar of our entire service industry. this whole thing collapses if there's not something for the worker ant to look forward to after the tunnel is built.
i have found myself weighing up if i really need this unwinding ritual every time i return from work, uni or just seeing my parents. sometimes i do, but sometimes it's like 'nah, i'll really need this after tomorrow's thing'. then tomorrow comes around and it wasn't all that bad, repeat, ad infinitum.
suddenly the days that felt like they were designed to break you just become bumps in the road. you're home now, even if it's for like 10 hours. that's kind of enough for me nowadays

recently, my girlfriend left for a study abroad and most of my ffriends are on holiday break away from NY. therefore, i have just been in this cycle of working and eating and sleeping. these past few days, i've made it my mission to get something done before i leave for work. whether that is taking out the trash or getting a croissant, i just have to have done an activity that requires me to leave my bed before my next shift. who'd-a-thunkit, i actually feel a little bit better every time i do this! i feel like i am making sense of the time that i have and i find great pride in being intentional about my joy. to more days like these, my lovelies

outside my window the world is quieter but more awake. there is a startling rattle in the bones of the workers clutching the garbage bags lining the sidewalks and a sympathetic plea from the pups whose pads are cold and impatient.
one more day before freedom. an easy day, a slow day, a day of understanding perhaps - friday. on fridays, the day eases past. half of the office works harder, letting the tasks flow by as if exerting effort makes minutes deteriorate more quickly. the other halfs eyes strain and wait. breathing in with a sudden movement only every few minutes simply lollygagging the time away.
i find myself on the latter today - or possibly somewhere trapped in the middle. regardless the mantra rings out. thursdays are easy. they are forgiving. maybe even hopeful.

Between socializing, traveling, working, and just dealing with life… we drain our wells. It’s imperative to refill it. For me, if I am on a big creative output, like working on an album, touring, etc… it’s really important to go to live shows, an exhibition, something to refill that creative hole I’ve expended. If I have a big week of socializing, it means spending a day in bed and not looking at my phone or socializing with anyone…losing myself in a book or binging an entire series behind my duvet.

sometimes. i‘m over the bureaucracy of the home groupchat trying to divvy up all the housework exactly as it was caused. they’re not gonna ‘get used to me doing it’ if i just sort out the mess one time. we’re all trying really hard somewhere in life
