This Is My Life Now

I thought March 7 would be a celebratory day for me. Well, it was, but for an entirely different reason. I slept a little later today, mostly because I went home late last night and I also ate late, so that's that. I was able to sleep around midnight and started having some really weird dreams. Thankfully, it was all just nonsense and not pure horror like yesterday's was.

After that, I was done from work and went outside to walk and clear my mind for a bit. As I was walking, I looked at the people around me and played some music. It was kind of cinematic, like I was in some kind of movie. This is the day where it finally sunk in: this is my life now. This is where I am. I am not in the past, I am not an employee of Dice. I am here and now in the next chapter of my life's journey, and I honestly couldn't believe it. But I'm glad I'm here, I'm grateful. This is where I needed to be at 26 and this is where I imagined adult me would be, except maybe a little thinner and more muscular, but I'll get there.

Since it was the end of the week, I decided to celebrate it. I ate at Ramen Nagi even though it was against my ideal meal because of my gout. I even got a flare up before from Ramen Nagi, but hopefully I can manage. I just read stories on Reddit the whole time I was there and ate alone. I took a photo but decided against posting it. I also looked forward to seeing Max and Meryll tomorrow, so that's nice. I left with a smile and I was able to book a ride so easily. My trip home wasn't hell either, despite it being a Friday. At the end of the day, I just relaxed, browsed Reddit, talked to my sister and Milktea.
