Life is Good(ish)

I've had a surprisingly okay last few days - trip to the sad remains of Margate yesterday aside - for one simple reason: I only went and got the job!! Got the call Monday afternoon and I couldn't be more pleased. Would've liked to find a proper way to celebrate - alcohol maybe? - but I'll take a trip to Shoreditch with my best friend for vintage clothes window-shopping, burritos and killer African hot chocolate - which I did on Tuesday. The hot chocolate, by the way, was cardamom-infused and topped with shaved chocolate, and has probably ruined me for any and all future experiences with hot chocolate. That was a celebration for sure! And to top it off, I learnt that one of the magazines I sent some of my poetry to back in July (Brittle Star) has accepted my piece called Astronauts in Hard Hats (based on the real life event of two construction workers on a tyre swing in my local park). Also, my sister is coming home for the weekend tomorrow. So I'm feeling pretty okay about life at the moment, depression, anxiety and general mental health aside.
