Top Three Thursday

This week a top three of less happy things and more impactful things.


(1) Visitor


An old friend came to visit last weekend. It was tumultuous, overpowering, emotionally draining and it taught me a lot. I'm not going to go into details, but I got to know myself a little better and learned what really matters to me. Learned to accept, learned to let go, learned to put other before myself and myself before others. And now I'm in peace, more or less. At least, I don't have the urge to talk about it with people, which means it's not raging in my mind all the time. Progress.


(2) Job


I went for my second interview with Playstation today. The interview went well, I think, but as it ended I learned that there are two or three other candidates flying in from their homecountry (be it the Netherlands or Belgium) to apply for the job. So the pressure is on, I suppose. I also won't hear whether I got the job or not for another two or three weeks because of the other candidates' interviews. More stress. As I walked him through the slight rain, crossed the park of Wavertree playground, I saw the vastness of it, the houses rounded up around the trees, the sky above me. The wind was blowing through my hair, I felt the seabreeze on my lips and I just sank down. Sat there, for a few minutes. I became calm in the knowledge that this is where I belong. I cannot leave Liverpool. I'll start looking for more jobs tomorrow.


(3) Flat


I've been looking at possible flats in the area of where I work. Found some I would like to go take a look at, but first I need to know whether I get the job or not. Looking forward to having my own place. You can only live with housemates for so long before you start longing for your own place, with or without a family.
Besides, I also want a pet. Fish, guinea pig, rat or cat. Not a dog, though.
