I currently have three jobs, and I work 14-16 hour days three times a week, plus another three days of 8 hour shifts. My glass is empty, I’m very very tired. It’s only temporary, for the next six months, but I’m SO tired I lose track of the days all together. The other day, I went on a walk and realized I hadn‘t spent more than eight hours by myself for over a week!! Capitalism has hands and they’re beating me down right now, fr. December please come soon, I need u.
over the past few weeks i’ve managed to go from working one to five days a week at a restaurant. the work is fast-paced and physically and emotionally draining but i haven’t felt this good in months.
i don’t even particularly like my job but i feel so much better than when i’m unemployed and i don’t think it’s even about the money. i just need a reason to get up even if it’s just clearing tables and making lattes for people i’m in the world and i’m making it turn slowly with my own two hands
The vines are consuming fire hydrants and power lines and stop signs and every gust of wind is filling the air with a delicious magnificent jasmine scent and I feel delirious and reborn and glad to be alive !!! Take a walk, take a whiff :-)
This is something that I started doing last year and they are now fundamentally important to me. A dessert walk is an after dinner stroll you take ideally during sunset. You walk to a grocery store and buy a sweet treat or piece of fruit and a fun beverage. For me usually a peach and a kombucha. You walk for a bit as the sun sets and return when your treats are consumed. A delicious end to your evening that helps you digest.
