Member-only story
Nothing unusual happened today, it was just another regular day. I had been feeling a little under the weather for a few days. I feel like I’m finally feeling the effects of the changing seasons and the lingering chill in the air.
I made the decision to stay after work to finish off some marking, I then got home around 6pm-ish.
My mood was mirrored by the cold weather outside (this is why british people are so miserable 24/7).
To return home and unwind was all I wished for.
I made some vegetable pasta with some chilli for dinner. The warmth and spice helped calm my achy body and chesty cough.
Recently, the responsibilities of my personal life and the mounting amount of work have left me feeling pretty overwhelmed.
I came to the conclusion that my decision not to use my phone yesterday in favour of going straight to bed was the best choice i’ve ever made. Disconnecting can occasionally be a genuine relief.
After doing some mild stretching and reading a few pages in a book, I’m now sat down to write this diary entry.
You know how sometimes you just need a break?
Anyways, it's currently 8pm and yes, I’m sleeping.
I sincerely hope that whoever is reading this is looking after themselves.
Although life can be challenging, we will persevere by taking each day as it comes.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow since it’s a new day.
I’ll interact with you lovely people as soon as I'm better, I promise.
With love,
Sumaya
