How I’m Spending The End of 2023 ... in SCATTERED THOUGHTS AND BUSY SCHEDULES

I’m not sure how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s the end-of-the-year holiday again. I don’t feel like celebrating anything.

I even canceled going to Yogyakarta for my office outing. Why? I’m exhausted. I even preferred doing another cat-sitting gig with my best friend’s cat. Yes, that adorable, fat calico named Nora.

I’m spending more time at home with my family now. I’m kind of broke myself. The traffic must be terrible now.

No worries. I’ve got plenty of books to read. I usually don’t have much time to finish them when I’m at work. Right now, I’m finishing Ruth L. Ozeki’s “My Year of Meats”. It has been an interesting read so far.

Of course, I’ll also be doing more writing. There are freelance gigs and writing competitions. There are projects I’d also like to take part in. I love writing so much. I know I’ve already mentioned that way too many times.

My mind is still all over the place now. I don’t know. My heart’s been broken a lot lately by this ongoing genocide in Palestine.

God, when will You stop them? I can’t take this anymore.
