Weekly report

 

 

So, dear Doc,

 

I’m glad to say that home is right now okay. It’s been really dark, and really cold, and now I can safely say that I can drop the “really” from both sides. The area is indeed a bit dangerous as my coworkers confirmed, but so far (thank God), i haven’t really faced any dangers myself.

Although I don’t feel very comfortable overall, i think this is is quite an intensely spiritual experience. Like, me and God and no one else to watch my back.

 

Work is okay so far, not very problematic as it is the same job I did before and colleagues, while I still haven’t found people I have stuff in common with, are agreable people. I started going to this church where there is almost only old people, which is both strange and nice. i have been told about this other church, a bit more far away, which is apparently a lot bigger and it has more youth, but for now I’d like to stick with these people because there might be stuff I need to learn from them, and I might be able to help.

 

Otherwise, life’s strange. I had some odd realisations lately, like the fact that I don’t hide my facial expressions at all when I’m thinking and when I frown/laugh about my thoughts people in store think that I make that expressions at them. Or, the fact that the girl I like is a puzzle of her own, which might or might not be a clue to life’s great mysteries and that sometimes it might be better to just drop it, for sanity reasons. Or, the continuously self-confirming idea that there is this never-ending supply of books to read and people to meet and places to visit and happinesses to spread. And that sometimes the best way to glorify this cool, undecipherable thing that God is is just to make people think “thank God I interacted with this person today”. Even if they don’t really thank God, even if they are just thankful. Because I feel like just being thankful in itself is being thankful to God.
