Happiness Journal 2/7/25

Felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy. I think it’s because work assignments have been piling up from all directions, so I have to grapple with the fact that my time isn’t really my own.

Will focus on the positive nevertheless!

Had lunch for the first time with a new colleague, JW. He was surprisingly candid, sharing unreservedly the conflicts he had run into at our school. Learnt that he’s ten years younger than me, so brotherly instincts swelled up within me, haha. Grateful to have forged a new connection, I am looking forward to having lunch with him again.
