About at midnight, I had an epiphany. Hating and constantly belittling myself won’t help me become a better, stronger, kinder, or wiser person.
Considering that I grew up as a girl in a patriarchal society, I have a lot to unlearn.
I didn’t sleep last night, I don’t know if it was caused by the excitement of the day, but at least I didn’t feel the evening anxiety.
I decided to stay awake through the night, there was no way I was getting any sleeping done.
I had to barricade myself to the bathroom so I didn’t have to hear Eleclya snore, or hear them complain when the music Mirette listened to seeped through their headphones. Eleclya seems to turn into a vampire when they’re sleeping.
I took along my laptop and diary, and a can of chocolate pudding. I surfed on the Internet, clicked all the donation buttons on GreaterGood, posted some of my favorite Doctor Who moodboards into my blog.
My right shoulder has been hurting a lot for the past two months, and I don’t know why.
About at three o’clock in the morning, I went to sleep on my wobbly inflatable mattress.
I got up at ten o’clock in the morning, took my morning medicine and brushed my teeth, and then I went back to bed.
I got up at noon, got dressed and put on some jewelry.
I called my mother and asked her if I can come over, she said yes.
I left immediately, and walked a long way to my parents’ home.
Mom had prepared shrimp risotto, it tasted good. I also ate two slices of a tomato, drank coffee and ate a slice of cake.
I received 40 euros from my parents.
Mom was in a bad mood.
Dad gave me a lift back home. Once there, Eleclya was still sleeping and Mirette had gone grocery shopping.
Later Mirette came over.
We packed Mirette’s sleepover stuff and their luggage from the cruise, and took a bus to Mirette’s home.
We traveled downtown and went to movies to see Johnny English Strikes Again. I enjoyed the movie very much, it was funny and fast- paced, and I enjoyed seeing British and Scottish landscapes and culture.
After the movie, me and Mirette went aboard a subway and ran into another friend. I had to get off the next stop, I went to a grocery shop and bought a salmiakki- chocolate bar just to taste it.
I traveled to my home town on a train, once there I went to the supermarket and bought butter, milk, and garlic, and also a “Congratulations for the Baby Girl!” card for a friend who recently became a father of a baby girl.
Once back at my own home, I took my evening medicine and went to sleep.
real life,
friends,
parents,
shopping,
sleepless night
