2024.W46: Conference, anger, rain
Attended various work-related activities, including a 3-day conference out of town. Between the coffee, alcohol and a million other things, it was an okay event.
Although… I was in a bad mood throughout the event. I discovered something that made me feel betrayed. Personal, not really about work. I was so disappointed that I had a hard time concentrating. I wasn’t able to eat and sleep well, and it was a struggle to stay calm while managing my unstable emotions.
The feeling lingered even after I came home. It prompted me to post two pieces I felt I had to share, to somehow vent my anger.
On Saturday morning, I went for a run to take my mind off things. Listened to an episode of No Dunks.
At noon, I went with my son to a birthday party. I was still not feeling like myself, but being surrounded by people somehow helped. I just tried to enjoy seeing my son enjoy the shows.
My down week was aptly capped off by a rainy Sunday. I woke up late, the day felt short and long at the same time. Spent half of it on the terrace, watching the rain with my guitar.
Most of the time, the rain uplifts my mood. But today, it made me sad. I thought of how certain people have the same effect on me.
