What gets you through the day?
After going through a relatively trying day yesterday, I felt my defenses collapse. It wasn’t the usual, whining for time to pass, I actually felt depressed by my helplessness. I pondered every moment that passed, I wondered if I’d make it through to see the next. It was one thing after another. It felt like being in a tennis match I didn’t want to play.
On the walk home from work, I felt the day come to a close. I remember it being a very specific moment in time that had finally ended. I could feel all the pressures relieving.
It made me realize that there are some days that you just have to get through. They don’t mean much in the grand scheme of time, and yet they are significant. They are moments that carve a small scar into the body of your life story - however minimal, still managing to become part of your character. These days where the whole point of it is that you survived it.
I survived it.
