Everything Can't be Good All the Time
I had a great time for my birthday. I got to see an old friend who I don't get to hang out with very often, I got to see an amazing movie (go see The Wild Robot, you will cry), I got to have a wonderful meal (and get drunk at an Olive Garden, like the lightweight I am).
Maybe I had too great of a time.
The new week has started and I've gotten back to my dayjob and back to the rhythm of life that I normally have to deal with, and I'm feeling sad about it.
I feel like what happened was a good time that went to my head. Now that I'm back to the regular world, it's bland and not fun and I'm dreading it.
I think what I have to do is, unfortunately, just let myself be sad. We can't be happy all the time, and we need periods of sadness to process life. I can't have days like my birthday all the time, I don't even have the energy for that. I need to let it be in the past, enjoying what was without letting it affect what is.
I'll do my best. But I think I'm just going to have a few sad days.
