For almost a week, I've felt like a violin string that is tightened to the extreme and could snap anytime, but today all the tension is finally gone. My shoulders have dropped like three inches (I tend to hold them up when I'm stressed, it causes terrible headaches). I'm smiling and speaking with a normal volume (regardless of the conversation topic, stress makes me speak with a very loud voice, which I'm not aware of unless someone else asks me not to shout).
Today I went to a café and bought myself a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream, just because I felt like it. I slouched on the sofa, read a book and smiled. The greatest thing to worry about was that there was also an offer about a "winter latte", which I would have preferred over hot chocolate if I had seen the offer before the barista started to make my drink :laugh:
Oh yeah, and I'm gonna send some chocolate for someone I treated very disrespectfully a couple of months ago. She's been very understanding and told me not to worry about such minor things. I'm still worrying and I want her to know that I really appreciate her mature attitude and I still want to apologize for being such a jerk. During these last few days, she's helped me a lot, although she's not obliged to do that and she would definitely have a reason to stay out of my personal problems. She deserves that chocolate. :thumbsup:
I'm finally able to state this with full honesty:
I'm happy.
Edit: Today goes straight to my Best Days of 2019 top-5
some things happened, someone confessed the wrong they've done in a way, I feel victorious. Wow. Just... wow. Justice has been done, at least in some sense.
