Each day I go to work, I have an opportunity to kill myself, and yet somehow, I still choose to go home and live another day. I don’t actively look for opportunities for suicide, but let’s call it a “call of the void” thought. Thoughts like these that come up throughout my life make me proud of myself for making the decision to live another day rather than ending it all. I’d say 99% of my motivation to go home is to rest and cuddle with my cats, though. But whatever keeps you going right? I look forward each day to not working and relaxing at home with my cats.

I typically park on the 5th floor of the parking garage because it overlooks the airport, provides a nice view, and it’s fairly barren on this floor so I don’t need to worry about other people.

I always like to attribute “signs” as if the universe determines my fate. Seeing this egret was one of those signs for me that signified that today is a good day (and another sign to not kill myself). I love nature and animals. I could sit and stare at this egret just existing for hours. I feel lucky to have been able to see not one – but two egrets right outside my parking garage. It’s so interesting to see the contrast between nature and a bustling freeway in the same view.
