Another Dull Week at the Office

This week at work has been utterly draining. I’m engaged to my high school sweetheart, but we’ve hit a rough patch recently due to stress from moving and planning our future together. The other day, while feeling particularly restless and frustrated with life’s mundane details, I found myself fantasizing about an old college friend during a boring meeting. We were never more than acquaintances back then, but there was always something intriguing about her energy and confidence. As I sat there listening to the same dull presentation for what felt like hours on end, I let my mind wander down familiar yet unexplored paths with this fantasy. It’s unsettling how such mundane settings can trigger these intense feelings of longing and desire. Writing it out helps me process some of that built-up tension.
