About to go on holidays, and the longest time away from work for quite some time and man, I gotta tell you, I'm feeling down af. I don't know why. Hoping that when I finally get away that it'll change my mood.
Be careful of what you wish for, your low mood might be because you know deep down inside that you'll enjoy your time away so much that when you come back you'll feel even worse...
Jk - I do hope you get the best of it all, refreshed and energised in a way that sustains you after you come back.
God, isn't that the truth though - we've had this trip booked since, I think May? But also in a way this trip is a bit of a signpost since I know when I get back (even though it's the end of the year) there's a few hard truths I need to think about and act upon. There's the smallest dust mote inside trying to tell me that there's a massive possibility that the path before me, whichever I choose, will be really good. I gotta find that little dude a megaphone so he can shout it a little louder for the people in the back.
The bigger the change the bigger the feelings? But yes, I highly encourage feeding lil positive dude and letting him shine - it's something I'm still working on after mine disappeared while I was away in Brisbane. Good on you for noticing him!
Enjoy your time away mate. Relax and spend some time with Mrs J.
Thank you - I definitely need the time off, I know that much. As does Mrs J. I wanna turn this mood around for her if nothing else :)
