Today was just a usual, boring quiet day at work. But something about today just made me appreciate my usual routine.
I booked a ride to work and I actually arrived a little earlier than I usually do. The traffic to work wasn't that bad. In fact, it was surprisingly low traffic for a Friday. I arrived early and got a lot of tasks done in the early part of my shift. I decided to get Zus Coffee as a pick-me-up and decided on getting lunch from Homer Easy Middle Eastern. It was nice, although they gave me chicken instead of beef because they were out of it. I ate lunch alone, surprisingly, since it's been quite a while eating out alone on an office workday.
The rest of my shift was just boring and I was mostly by myself. My usual seatmates weren't here, except for 1 person but we didn't talk at all. I was mostly by my lonesome today. Not bothering anyone and nobody else bothering me. Today was really just a peaceful day and I appreciate days like this. In the afternoon, I went outside to grab merienda and decided on Subway since I kind of missed working in Makati and eating Subway. I ordered a footlong, which was kind of expensive, but I ultimately enjoyed it while I was scarfing it down in the office breakroom alone.
By the end of the day, I booked a ride and it was relatively-easy getting one, despite it being on a Friday. I also played a new song from Taylor Bickett while I was on my way out of the office and it felt like I was at the closing scene of a movie or something. Something about it felt cinematic, for some reason. The weather helped a bit since it didn't rain much in Makati (if at all) and the traffic going home was also surprisingly low. I just enjoyed the ride home and then rested for the entire evening.
The whole trip home, I was just thinking how I really am in a new chapter of my life. Away from all the anxieties of before and all those toxic relationships. I spent most of the day alone and in peace, which I like, to be honest.
