50. 79. 97

My MOED calendar says that it’s:

50 days left until September 1 – the day I make it official
79 days left until September 30 – my last day
97 days until October 18 – THE DATE

50. 79. 97. It still seems like a very long time before freedom. Freedom from all these negativities. I find myself wondering if there’s anything wrong with me, as to why I feel so out of place in this environment. I think I started feeling this way when I discovered the true colors of the people in the office. When I started to realize how wrong most of the things are. And just how much I don’t want to be part of it anymore.

So here’s putting it into perspective:

50 days ago was May 24 – the week of a friend’s party
79 days ago was April 25 – the last time I went home to Baguio City
97 days ago was April 7 – I was in Coron having a vacation

The memories of these random days are still fresh and I don’t feel like it’s been a long time since the Coron vacation.

97 days seems so slow when we focus on the not-so-good things in our lives. It feels like some kind of torture every day.

But 97 days isn’t so long anymore when we look forward to something great. Something great that’s about to happen in our routinary lives.

Here’s to putting things into perspective and a little more patience. To being thankful for the blessings and surprises that He has given me this year.
