Happy Friday! Good Evening! And an early 'hello' to the month of August, which is sneaking up behind us real quick! Can you believe that this is the last Friday in July?! Thankfully it's still summer, of course, but once you've started seeing those Back To School ads run on TV...you know the "end" is near. 😩 I have started seeing those commercials, actually, but I'll put them out of out my mind for now, and be very thankful to not be a student anymore. Lol. Well, an elementary school student, at least. 🤪 It's just so liberating to be an adult! Even though I've noticed that once you become one, you also become nostalgic of your childhood, along with it's inevitably unpleasant memories. Anyway, I'm running SO off tangent! Let me get back to whatever topic, at hand, this post is supposed to be about. 🥴
Oh right! I'm now nearing the final few days of work before my summer vacation begins! And boy, do I need one. 😪 We're so caught up with our everyday routines and managing to stay "in the zone" of things so we could remain fully focused on the tasks at hand. So to get nearly two weeks off to not think about any of that is a real treat. I'll be enjoying each moment of relaxation, being with my boyfriend, eating my lunches without getting back to my work every few minutes...it's just the small things that matter the most! And what you miss the most as well.
I did have yesterday off due to the observance of the fasting day in Judaism called Tisha B'Av. I give credit to those who could actually manage to sacrifice food and liquids for a lengthy period of time, but it just ain't for me. And for some, being able to fulfill these 'commandments' in full, is just one of the many ways for these individuals to feel superior or 'holier than thou' than others who differ from them. And I just don't think that's right. Religion is between you and the creator, himself, and as long as your heart is in the right place, I believe that is all that truly counts. Why blindly follow certain observances while being such a mean-spirited person? I don't believe that to be doing any good. If anything, it causes more harm than good. Please don't use religion as a weapon! That's just my teeny-tiny PSA. 📢
In other news, we're experiencing such a heat-streak here in NYC! I've never felt such a burning sensation from the sun until today. It felt like 105 degrees and was absolutely uncomfortable to be outside! Thankfully for my vacation, next week, we're 'cooling down' with some 80 degree temps. And thank goodness for that! Because this heat is too much. 😓 For the new releases in korean pop music, this week, I've been thoroughly enjoying the releases of OH MY GIRL & TREASURE. Girl group charms and boy group sexiness! Isn't kpop simply the best? 🤭
Alright! I guess my next entry will be posted during my vacation, so here's to hoping I'll make it out in one piece before then, because the few days of work before a break are the craziest! But, I'll be all right. ✊ And I'll be staying as cool as I can until then as well. Everyone be safe, enjoy the weekend, and thank you all for reading tonight's 'blurb of thoughts' of mine! I do appreciate it. Very much, so. ☺
Until next time,
xoxo Lisa.
