I quit my restaurant job back in January of this year (a story in and of itself) and was promptly replaced by a person I deem to be an infinitely cooler hotter more indie version of me
My personal life was in a tizzy so I didnt bother keeping contact w said coworkers ofc
Last week I went out and went very very hard and wound up ditching local 4 for a gathering at 5 (one of my fav dive bars) i step out of whatever mode of transportation got me to said bar and am instantly met with 6 of my old coworkers and this new person who I’d been ig admiring on the DL I was drunk and happy to slopily mingle at the time gushed over my replacement and offered to buy everyone drinks
….long story short, although I’ve been assured it’s not as bad as I’m remembering it to be, I feel slightly humiliated just being that intoxicated and tripping on my words so much
I could continue my rant but I feel like maaaaany ppl can relate to what I’ve already said and are smart enough to fill out the rest of the paint my number
Whole scenario checked me in a major way

Messaged an old kinda-on-and-off again friend from high school, we hadn’t seen each other since pre-covid. She invited me out to a bar she works at in the area. I had always passed it for years and never noticed it before. Good conversation, good wings, a nice glass of white wine. I probably rambled on a little too much about myself, but it is what it is. It’s probably easier to talk to each other now than it was back then. Didn’t realize how badly I needed a hug jfc, unexpectedly made me feel better. I’m just kinda rambling on now.

I just grabbed a hard cider at the ski resort bar and chatted with the bartender for two hours while intermittently watching the BU vs NU women's hockey game. He told me to find my people and that when I find my people, I'll find my dream job because they'll also be working there. I never got his name and I probably will never see him again because this is the last night he's working before I leave Vermont.
But he walked me out through the secret staff entrance so I didn't have to wait for the shuttle bus in the cold and told me Thank you and Goodbye. It was epic. I feel drunk on human connection.

some much needed venting, shit-talking, and laughs.
do not recommend finding out that they’re all quitting.

In this regard, to what I like to call a funk.
I feel très dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking in… well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than you’d like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I won’t go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. There’s a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself I’m feeling better serves no one.
Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. There’s a lot of it <3
