Many Many Days

Last year was very slow for me. There were times I wished the year would just end but it never did. After what I experienced last year, I strongly believe there were more than 31 days in some of the months and nobody can tell me otherwise. There were probably more than 24 hours in some of the days too. I know this particular thing is something we deal with in January, where the days are too long and they never end. For me, it wasn’t just January. All the months were too long.

Some of the months were even weird for me and it felt like we spent more than three months in some months. March is probably on top of that list and would take any award pertaining to that category. I remember when I had an interview somewhere in the beginning of the year. I prepared so well for more than two months and the interview date never arrived. At a point, I began calling my friends to make sure I wasn’t in another world or experiencing something weird. Eventually, the interview day came and I even messed up.

I think it had something to do with waiting for so long. I probably over prepared and became over confident and then answered all the questions very wrong with my full chest. In the end, I didn’t even care which was very unusual of me because I’m one to wallow in my losses and think about all the things I did wrong.

Some part of me also felt like whatever I was interviewing for wasn’t for me and that was why I didn’t even bother about it. And thinking about it, if I really was passionate about it and wanted it, those days wouldn’t have been too long for me to prepare.

Just like this interview story, there were other times that I wished the days would go faster but they didn’t. What actually made me believe that 2024 has probably been the longest year ever was all those times I spent with people I love. You know how they if you spend time with someone you love, the clock goes faster? I mean in the previous years they went faster but this year, they weren’t so fast. Maybe it’s because I’m used to being with them all the time? Naa, I doubt that.

Anyway, have you realized there’s 5 Fridays in January, 2025? Heheh. That was what I was talking about. Looks like we are going to have so many days this year too. For those people that spent all their money during detty December, you better start doing some super savings because from where I stand, the hunger coming is wearing a bow tie.
