Whenever I come home from work, I immediately greet my fiance and land in the comfort of his arms. This has recently extended to him lifting me up and cracking my back basically as a reflex. I feel so loved, and it's really hard to bring any work stress home after this. As for a ritual with just me... Maybe that comes after I graduate. I do remember other rituals I had involving writing and organizing but that was before my adult job and an extremely fulfilling relationship. It's interesting to think about how my rituals have changed as I grow as person and seem to correlate with the different things influencing me at any given time. I want to think that I'm more than just what I do for work but sometimes I think I draw a lot of personal pride from having accepted a role of responsibility and fulfulling it.
This is adorable! I don't think there's anything wrong with this, especially because you've got so much else going on. Your fiance sounds lovely, and it sounds like your personal life is satisfying as well. I'm happy for you, if not a little jealous :)I draw a lot of personal pride from having accepted a role of responsibility and fulfulling it.
Thank you! I get referred to as "stupidly wholesome" sometimes and I suppose stuff like this is why. I guess I'm just a very gentle lil soul! I think mostly my work is fulfilling because I get to take all the good that I feel and shower it on the little kids I care for. Without getting into too much detail it's a very at risk group of young people who are underserved and underappreciated.
That's such a compliment! You must be a very positive person to be around :) It sounds like you're doing some really important work, those kids are lucky to have you helping them out and showing them affection! Does it ever get tough to stay positive with them? I think I'd struggle with that
