Stark Constrast

The morning and evening segments of my day were pretty different from each other.

I spent most of my early morning alone, playing catch-up in Genshin Impact because I just wanted to grind and be the same level as Mon. I finished through 1 segment of the story inside Fontaine after sorting out that controller issue with my PC. I finally finished that segment and did some completion tasks to hopefully bring up my XP, but then I realized that I had to grind more parts so that I could level up higher. Not gonna lie, it dissuaded me a bit because I had to grind through quite a bit, but it's fine. I just got sleep afterwards.

In the morning, for some reason, I weirdly woke up early. I woke up at 7 a.m., even though I slept at 2 a.m., and I didn't have that much sleep anyway. This was honestly weird, but I started my day talking to Mon for a bit and then I replied to someone's messages about them wanting to plan a wedding for someone. They asked me if I have any prospects, a question they don't usually asks, and it was such a timely question because I had just posted on IG and told a few friends yesterday. I told her pretty much everything I know and they seemed pretty excited and happy for me, which was surprising but also kind of made me happy.

I just spent a part of the morning telling them all about the person I just recently met and I felt so giddy and happy about it. But after that, I had to get ready and eventually left for work. The commute was fairly nice, it was super sunny out and I kept playing songs from Speak Now and, I don't know, the world felt a bit more lively. It's nice to have hope and be hopeful for something.

I commuted to work and actually got to work early, too. I was surprised at that. I had coffee out with Jimmy and we just got coffee from Starbucks, and then got back in the office afterward.

For most of the morning, I was just in the office doing my thing. We had lunch out early where I eventually hinted and told my coworkers that I met someone charming recently, but they didn't believe it and thought it was a lie, which they joked to me about.

At work, nothing much happened aside from having lunch with my coworkers and them teasing me like usual. I had some free time in the afternoon during my lunchtime and I watched someone play Red Dead Redemption 2 for a while. They also messaged me from their alt account, which was weird and I opened up a bit with them about something. But after that, nothing much happened and I mostly focused on work until the late evening. I didn't have anyone to talk to in the evening and somehow my mood felt so down by then. I booked a ride home after that and got some rest.
