This is kind of tricky—I feel like so many things excite me, yet at the same time, nothing really makes me feel giddy. Lately, though, one of the things that gives me that kilig feeling would probably be the characters from the books I’ve been reading. I’ve actually been into quite a few YA novels lately. And I guess… that’s it.
Honestly, we’re living in such strange times that I sometimes wonder if it’s even okay to feel cheery about something without feeling somewhat guilty. But I suppose that’s just part of it. Writing about these little joys doesn’t make me any less sympathetic to what’s happening in the world.
Another thing that excites me is the arrival of my delivery packages. In a time when we’re mostly forced to stay home (not that it’s a big deal for me since I already work from home and enjoy solitude anyway), having something to look forward to—like a package arriving—adds a bit of excitement to the day. Even though I’m generally okay with staying in, it’s still different when you know you can’t just go out freely. So, getting a delivery feels like a small but happy distraction from the anxiety and uncertainty of the world right now.
Of course, I also get excited whenever it’s that time of the month—payday! I mean, who doesn’t, right? No matter how small or (hopefully) big my paycheck is, it always brings me joy.
I’ve always been the loner type, but sometimes I get excited when I meet an interesting student in my class (I work as an ESL tutor, by the way!). It’s like meeting new people with different perspectives, just in a virtual way. It makes me feel less lonely, too. And the best part? I don’t even have to go out! That’s definitely a plus, especially right now.
