One, I had my dental sutures removed. Finally. After a week of irritation to the extent that I want to cut them off myself, they're gone! However, I think I brushed too hard after lunch that I saw blood on my tooth! It dried off easily.
During lunch, I sat in front of the HR Manager. I asked her if I can share the table and she agreed. We talked about how I am, the traffic, and other things. My introvert self jumped out of my body. That's what I felt.
I had a good talk with my boss. I was thinking of the worst things that can happen but they did not. Also, I learned new things -- the difference between will and would. OK, got this!
The day ended as I was waiting for a jeep. I stood and there was this lady, like a grandma, who alighted a tricycle. She had a total of three bags and her long umbrella fell. I took it and held on to it as she was settling down -- keeping her change in her wallet.
She said her thank you and I asked where she lives. She said she lives in Marikina so I assumed she would also wait for her ride from where I was standing. It turns out, she needs to go to the nearby terminal going to Paenaan.
I took her heavy bag and walked with her. She kept on insisting so did I. It was a short walk. We were from the Clock Tower and the terminal was just a few feet away.
She told me the things in her bags -- candies, tupperwares, and all other things I no longer saw -- are for the kids in Paenaan.
Every Sunday, they have an outreach activity in church for the kids. She said she is happy to serve, despite getting old. In that moment, I thought, Lord? Is this a sign? Chos.
However, as we were walking and talking, the other part of my brain was thinking if it is already OK for me to carry heavy things. Well, my dental sutures are gone and it has been a week!
I did not get her name, it was a short convo, but I felt so light. It was as if I was freed from all of my problems. Too much metaphor, ehr?
But yeah. I felt light. Light that I wish I can fight dragons.
