Of mortality

Sometimes things happen that make you realise how delicate life can be. How precious and short life is. How much you take advantage of those you love and care for, and how quickly things can change. 

You always think that being healthy and taking care of yourself leads to a long and happy life. And sure, for a lot of people it does. But there are still people that are perfectly well, who live a happy healthy life, and yet one day, a lump of blood goes where it isn't supposed to and they just aren't here any more. 

It doesn't matter who they are, how little you know them, even if you've never met them before, such a sudden demise still touches you, it still affects you and the way you see life. 

Valentines Day Sucks

When I was single, I didn't much care for valentines day. 

Now I'm in a relationship, I still don't care much for valentines day. 

My social networks are full of people being all couply and PDA-ish, and it's sickening. There is heart shaped chocolate and stuffed toys holding hearts everywhere you turn. Flowers are suddenly right in front as you walk into the supermarket, so much so that you have to practically wade through them just to get that one bottle of milk you nipped in for. 

No, I'm not bitter because I haven't been showered with chocolate and cuddly toys and flowers, and posted pics of it all with me kissing my boyfriend on Facebook, twitter, Instagram and everywhere else. To be totally honest, I would be a little bit disappointed in him if he did do any of that stereotypical lovey dovey stuff. Especially the cuddly toys. It's enough to make you vomit. 

Wouldn't complain at the discount stuff the day after though. Flowers and chocolate. Not roses though. That's too cliche.

I wasn't feeling like this earlier. Things just keep building up until they get to a breaking point and you wish that everyone would stop shoving this Hallmark holiday down your throat. It should be like any other saints day, a small deal made by relevant shops so that you know it's coming, but not enough so that you can't go anywhere without having to pick heart shaped confetti out of your hair. 

This turned into more of a rant than I intended. 

Tl:dr version - people should stop being so revoltingly loved up just because a marketing campaign told you to.

My interview went well today. 

Fasting also went well.

My water consumption did not. I can't even remember if I had one bottle or two. 

I was in bed all ready to wrote a post, when I decided to have one of my pre falling asleep naps. I've told you about these before, you still have stuff to do before you can actually go to sleep, like turning the light off or taking off make up, but you think to yourself "I'll just close my eyes for a little while". Then you either wake up after a couple of minutes, or at 4am with the electric blanket still on full blast. The latter is the least preferable. 

Aw damn, I've just missed posting today actually today.
