Purpose

January 2024 - It’s been a while.

Hello there.

It has been a minute (by minute I mean a wholeass year). My apologies (not really). Okay that's enough with the brackets (or parenthesis). Okay now I’m done I promise.

Since my last post I have been pretty damn busy - perpetually tired. But as I am sure I have said before, I really wouldn’t have it any other way. There were a couple major events - if you know you know. I was also fortunate enough to be able to travel a fair bit. The highlight being my trip to Korea and Japan over the new year break. I miss it so much 🙁. 

I spent some time reading my earlier posts - ya boy was really going through some shit huh? It honestly is kinda funny looking back at it now - feels like a lifetime ago. At the time it feels like the end of the world or some sh*t, you can’t sleep at night, constantly worrying or feeling anxious. The absolute worst. Grateful for that no longer being the case. Although I have recently been having some thoughts about my purpose. What am I actually doing in life? It’s a difficult one - I’m not even sure where this all came from. You know what, as I’m writing this I think I just realised. I recently started watching The Bear and there is a part in the show where one of the characters questions their purpose. I didn’t think anything of it at the time but it really did get me thinking.

I would definitely recommend the show though! I’m just about to finish season 2 and so far I absolutely love it. Also makes me feel very nostalgic since it’s set in Chicago. I truly miss that place. Can’t believe I was studying there 8 years ago. 8 years!! That sh*t's actually crazy. Speaking of Chicago, I recently ran into an old friend from there at the train station. For context I had not seen or spoken to this dude since I left Chicago, and he doesn’t have any social media either so I had no idea what he had been doing since. So on a random Tuesday I got called into the office at the last minute, I had to print some stuff out and drop them off at another location. I get to the Shard where my office is, print out the papers and then head back to London Bridge station. As I’m walking in I see this dude tap out from the corner of my eye, I pause for a moment as he looks familiar, but then I think to myself there is no way in hell the guy I’m thinking of would be here so I think nothing of it and just carry on. I got home later that day and it was still bugging me so I texted a friend of mine from ‘murica to see if the guy I thought I saw is in London - and it turns out it was actually him. I ended up getting coffee with him the following day - it was nice catching up. Definitely did blow my mind though, what were the chances of me running into him that day?? Mental.

Anyways, that’s all there is for today. Maybe I’ll write something again soon, maybe not. Who knows?

As always, take care of yourself.
