Locked in for another week, my first day of which was back in the office doing my thing. A deal on parking in the city center that I've been trying to wrangle since I started wearing my braces in February went cold on me - my teeth have made more movement than my parking dilemma. But you gotta laugh, that was the main takeaway of the day. I should know because I sit next to the travel and accom person who basically dies a thousand deaths every day and they take it in their stride.
They also started the day listening to an audio book they are really into and apologized in advance if they started tearing up - they love the characters that much. I remember when I loved things as much as they do, but I feel like I subconsciously distance myself things now because I fear getting hurt. That or I don't like being associated with being a mega fan of a thing, they're level of engagement is something I look down upon, but is that because I was that person once upon a time? We hate what we were, but maybe a part of me wants to go back to start enjoying things with all my heart. I started thinking about the games I might talk about in my end of year round up and nothing qualifies for en entry just yet. Played nearly 20 games and nothing even registers. I don't think I'm emotionally numb but I find myself chasing a game or a movie that rekindles that spark - I put a lot of pressure on things and myself, maybe that's why nothing lives up to my inflated standards? All this from a small comment from a colleague.
