What a full and eventful day it’s been! We celebrated a friend’s birthday and ended up meeting some really interesting people. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed — we had a great time talking, laughing, and even making plans for another get-together! Next weekend, we’re planning to meet again at one of the guys’ country houses. We’ll grill some food, play board games, listen to good music, and have deep, heartfelt conversations.
It’s such a joy when most of the group is on the same wavelength — into classic rock, board games, curious about the world, and not into drinking. Just real, kind people with so many life stories to share. I feel completely drained socially, but it’s that good kind of tired — when you know it was worth it. Meeting new people like this, who are so simple and calm on the outside, yet full of experience and wisdom, really makes me feel like I’m growing too. I felt completely safe — and honestly, that’s probably one of the most important feelings when you’re around people.
Now I’m home, thinking back on everything and sharing these thoughts — and of course, I keep thinking of him… I wish he could’ve been there too. He would’ve loved it — the vibe, the conversations, the people. Educated, experienced, fun, and still so down-to-earth. People who are always curious and open to learning something new. I think I should get used to the fact that he lives in my thoughts and will continue to do so for a long time. It’s one of the important parts of my daily routine…
😌And of course, I’ll wish him a good night and sweet dreams, as always…
As for myself, I hope to recharge a bit and calmly take care of everything I need to do tomorrow.
The weather outside is just… awful. The wind is so strong it feels like it’s cutting right through you, freezing you down to the bone. It’s around 0°C , and it’s hard to believe that just yesterday it was a warm and sunny 18°C. The sudden drop hit hard — my body didn’t even have time to adjust.
Even at home it’s cold. I’ve wrapped myself in layers, but I’m still not sure I’ll be able to fall asleep or get a proper rest tonight. It’s that kind of cold that makes it hard to relax, even under a blanket. I do feel a bit guilty for not reading my book today. I’ll try to read at least a few pages before sleep — just to stay connected to that world too. And maybe, just maybe, the cold won’t stop me from falling asleep after all.
