Mondays! We all love Mondays, am I right? Probably not.
Most of us probably had a relaxing weekend, but for some people Mondays can be just another day as not everyone has the weekend off. Anyway, It's a fresh week! Hope you're all having a good day with a nice cup - or should I say - massive - mug of coffee helping you through the day.
As for me, I've been ill for the past week. However, in these past couple of days it got worse. Last Saturday I was feeling so light headed at work - we were so terribly busy and that didn't help at all. Yesterday, I spent the whole day in bed and today - well, same story.
This means I'm spending more time at home, which also means more time to think and reflect about things that have been happening recently. Like those life decisions we make when we'd be in the shower or in the car listening to some sort of slow music, dramatically looking out the window - you get what I mean! I'd assume that a lot of us right now are currently thinking about school or trying to think of the best ways to enjoy the last few weeks of summer..
I am also thinking the same and I am honestly so excited to start school! I feel that this time I am actually going to like my new course and am determined to stay till the end (as I had already quit half way through in 2 or 3 courses before).
Although, what has been really going through my head, is what has currently been happening - something I've experienced.. Something that really surprised me in the beginning, then had eventually become my 'happy place' until it finally proved me wrong and literally destroyed me.
As I had mentioned before, of course I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them. I love hearing about people's life experiences and become so inspired by many. They always encourage me to live my life better just by listening to their stories.
Though not long ago, I met this person who I never thought I'd even say "Hello" to as they gave off quite a negative vibe, until one day they actually came up to me themselves and I was so shocked. We eventually began to talk and I started feeling so happy that I had finally found someone who understands me and just makes me feel so comfortable that I could literally say anything to. This person inspired me so much and made me change my view on life - in a better way.
I began thinking about how sudden this all happened. Thinking that maybe, somehow, it could be a sign and how amazing it would be if this friendship grew stronger..
After a few days, I noticed we weren't keeping in touch as much as we were. I was starting to get worried. What could have happened? Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong? What is it? Maybe it's another sign.. Although if it were, it isn't a good one.

My expectations were sky high.
After a few days, I noticed we weren't keeping in touch as much as we were. I was starting to get worried. What could have happened? Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong? What is it? Maybe it's another sign.. Although if it were, it isn't a good one.
I then received a text.
I felt sick to my stomach, slowly registering what I had just read, over and over, I realised then that it was all too good to be true. My expectations were obviously too high. This person just didn't want to build a friendship like I did. Not only was I disappointed about what happened, but I was also disappointed in myself - I just made this person my only 'happy place' and it just broke me down. I didn't know what else to do. I was hurt. I made myself so vulnerable, falling into a little trap. I wasn't myself for the next few days. I wasn't smiling - nothing. I was afraid of going through the same thing again but with someone else. I was completely avoiding everyone.
It hasn't been long since this has happened, but I am feeling slightly better as I am looking at this in a positive way. I know it has been a really sad experience but it has taught me a lesson - one that can prepare me for the future. I've learnt that we shouldn't rush, overthink or become too attached so quickly - it's always better to have low expectations, you'll be less likely to end up disappointed. Lastly, don't assume that everyone will treat you the same way. Don't think that after one bad experience, you won't make any new, good friends. You just have to be careful. Be careful about what you say - and when you say it. Make sure you know the person well enough before you share anything personal.
I believe that everything happens for a reason - whether it may be a bad or a good experience, you'll learn from it either way and don't regret anything.
