2024-12-02 “Back But Different” by Hannah (born 2002)

Monday hit different today. A lot happened over the last 9 days including being off for Thanksgiving.

Back on the 23rd, I had to go into work and fix my markups. Since then, I found out what—or I should say who—caused the problem. The conversation really opened my thoughts to how “eyes forward, go!” I’ve been living. I’ll be thinking about Liza, and wondering how many other “Lizas” are around me on the daily.

Then Kent did that thing. Wow. It seems really good. It’s comfortable and solid. There’s some chemistry, too, and the more time we spend the more my mind opens up, the more… chemicals show up!

Then, Kent and I had that episode like Merritt and Emma had. We are convinced it has something to do with time-traveling, but we don’t know what. I can’t really find words to explain it, but once we got our bearings back, it seems like my thoughts are—more expansive.

Emma, Merritt, Kent and I talked about it, and we all agree. It’s very subtle; maybe like how your mind is clearer when a headache goes away. That’s not exactly how it is, but sort of parallels.

So, back to work with the mindset to be a nicer, more open person. Then when work is done, back to seeing what comes of things between Kent and me. Honestly, this seems like a good “but different.”
