They cut down my hours at my main job so I had to go and search elsewhere to make up for the already miserable salary I get. Luckily, this university where I used to work at before gave me the green light to start there. So today after finishing up the first classes at the main uni, I went over to the second uni to hand in my paperwork. I used to work there like 4 years ago so I didn’t expect the secretary to remember me. At first she didn’t recognize me, but when she did she kept complementing me and telling me I looked so changed (but in a positive way). She made a whole deal out of it and it was so sweet. When I left she once again told me I looked pretty. And that just made my whole ass day. I’ve been depressed like crazy and dreading the amount of work I’m gonna be swamped with this semester. So I was already moving with a bad energy today. But this really made me feel good and made me feel like maybe I have to be more open to welcome some of that good energy too. The bad won’t go away, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be good experiences to learn from, and that there won’t be these glimmers of good in between. At least I’m trying to be hopeful.
