Day 138 of Leave: This Year's Year-End and New Year Holidays.
Until last year, the year-end and New Year holidays were like a 🏀"club activity"🎾 for me.
I would flip🔃 my year of 🏭️factory temp work by living in at a ⛵️resort.
By diving into a completely opposite world, I could breathe again.
It wasn't just about 💴💰️🪙earning money.
I went there to inhale the oxygen of contrast, stimulation, and what I called the extraordinary.
Everything here was clean.
Because it's completely different depending on the place.
(I've stayed in rooms covered in graffiti from veteran resort workers over the years)
The food when I went to the resort job
It feels like it was just yesterday... (omitted)♪
But this year, I have no plans.
Having no plans feels less like freedom and more like
a blank space left in my hands.
I realize now that I wasn't just working;
I was creating a transition.
If I can't go outside this year,
I will create an "inversion🔃" on the inside.
Instead of a big journey, I'll use small rituals.
I will regain my breath once again.
