Boy it was nice to be back at work today with my friends. I saw one of my best friends (Hali) as I was walking into work. I went up to her and gave her a hug. She said "Oh, I'm lucky to get a hug?" I just hugged her for what was probably longer than appropriate. I kept telling myself, "don't you start crying!" She was shocked because I don't typically like people to touch me. It was nice to laugh and just be around everyone. While the five day work week will undoubtedly be long after the holidays, I'm glad to be reunited with my friends. The band is back together!!
I am mentally exhausted. When I woke up this morning (6:00 a.m.) and by the time I got to work (8:00 a.m.), I think I had experienced every emotion. I was sad, mad/angry, hurt, and resentful. For a second I crossed over to "zero fucks given" and "I'm fine."
I've been thinking about communication a lot today. I actually Googled communication quotes. Who doesn't Google quotes when they need a good "Come to Jesus talk?"
This one smacked me in the face, "People who can't communicate think everything is an argument." There was also a theme to my search; someone who is truly interested in you will never leave you guessing, will always make time, make you feel wanted, etc. The other theme was that lack of communication ruins everything because instead of knowing how the other person is feeling or thinking, we just assume. I found a lot of this on The Minds Journal. Their Twitter is @TheMindsJournal.
This would all be easier if we didn't care, right?
