Hi! It's been more than a quarter since I've updated anything here 😬 But it's finally time for the annual birthday post!
Starting light! Last year I mentioned about starting a Disney+ subscription. I ended up extending it this year because I'm only about halfway through Bones. The way they approach the story is very different from season 1, which is normal. I wish they would've put more science in, though, because that was mostly why I started watching it!
Looking at the post from last year, it seems that I didn't quite have a clear goal. I just wanted to be happy and more content! I guess that's why I ended up being very chill with my work the past year 😅 To be very fair, I am mostly happy the year I was 27. I hope this trend continues even with me getting back on the right track to promotion at work!
Perhaps it's true what people say: love comes when you least expect it. Just a bit before I'm no longer 27, I got my first (and hopefully last?) boyfriend. Although I can't quite call it love yet, I know for sure that I like this guy. While the physical realm doesn't allow these to happen right this second, I do want to see him more often, talk about important or even mundane things, or really just spend time side by side! While we're on this topic, I would like to share this thing a friend advised (this is just too good to keep just for myself!
"At the end of the day love isn't a feeling, it's what we do despite how we feel. So choose well, choose the person you'd be willing to sacrifice a lot for. And make sure it's a two way street"
Seeing the number 28 on the birthday cake unnerved me a bit. It made things more real: I'm getting older, my loved ones are getting older, and even those babies and toddlers I usually watch online are getting older too! But hey, such is life, right?
Many say that just because you're "old", it doesn't necessarily mean you're an adult. And it's true, even though I'm pushing 30 (damn), I feel like I still don't know the ways of the world and how to handle others' feelings. So, I want to learn! To be clearer, I'd probably break it down like this:
- As an employee
To develop a sense of urgency and, hopefully, the eye to see a problem and potential solution to it - As family and friend
To be more sensitive to their feelings and express more appreciation to them - As a girlfriend
We're not exactly young-young. On top of that, this is a very high commitment relationship with the distance and time difference. It would be best if we could find out early on whether we're a good match. And if we want to build a future together, we have to learn to listen + communicate feelings, expectations and needs better.
I can feel that this post is not cohesive at all, probably even less so compared to my previous posts. But at least I have this little bit to look back to many years to come! To close off, I'm sharing with you what I think will be one of my most-played songs this year:
