A Breath of Fresh Air

You know how they say that sometimes it's the little things that matter? I got that experience this evening.

For the past few days, my life has somewhat been on autopilot. I get up very early in the morning, brush my teeth, and have my bath, and then I leave home, and when I come back in the evening, I just have my bath, eat, and sleep.

It's been pretty straightforward and boring because I don't do a lot of talking where I go, simply because I know no one there and have no friends there, and I'm usually the kind of guy who will always shut up and observe whenever I find myself in the midst of strangers. I mostly only speak when spoken to or when absolutely necessary.

Well today I got up this morning not feeling great, so I decided that instead of doing the same thing that I've been doing for the past few days, I was going to take a day off today and just look after myself. Even though “looking after myself” just means sitting inside all day and just resting or lazing about.

Well I did all of that, and when the time got to 7:30pm, I was going to just call it a day and go to bed, but for some reason I decided to go downstairs and sit with some boys there, and trust me when I say that I'm glad I did that.

And I say that because I went from not talking to anyone physically for the past few days to just having really fun conversations with my neighbors. Honestly, if anyone had told me that I would miss something like this, I wouldn't believe them. I didn't even know I missed having these conversations until I had them this evening.

I spent about an hour with them just talking and having a laugh, and by the time I had to go back upstairs to my room, I felt a lot better than how I've been feeling throughout the whole of today. It made me realize that this new routine that I had been following for the past few days was making my life feel like a sad one because it was just me in it.

But I feel better now, and hopefully I get to have more moments like this where I get to feel this good.

Sometimes I must force myself to hang out too staying all day without socialising it's not good for mental health honestly I really need to have daily social interactions even by phone if not I feel not good.

I think it's not a good decision to isolate yourselves for no reason. If you have time, you can try to have some fun with others. It's good for your mental health but if you enjoy the lonely vibes, it's not a major issue but In that case you will miss many thing in life.
