Hey everyone!
How have you all been? Can you believe that yet another week has come and gone-just like that? Since these days have been going quickly, I hope to treasure each day no matter what it brings. Well maybe there'll be days when you feel like the world has tried you and pulled the last string you have been holding onto. But you know what? Tomorrow will always come just like how yesterday went by, and there will always be a reason to be happy-always! Personally, for me, whenever I feel a bit blue or stressed, the first thing I don't always think of, but the One Who I should always be looking toward, is God. When life throws lemons at me and I don't know what to do, His presence is comforting and assuring. I hope that you will also be able to feel His presence this week. He has a purpose for each life and a plan to fulfill in our lives-trust the One Who created you and knows you better than you know yourself. He knows exactly what you need. <3

"Under the note contained a lunchbox wrapped in that same floral linen Haruki was hiding in his coat and a fresh mug of coffee. I had forgotten myself that it was my birthday-I guess this will turn out to be a very special day..."
I sat in my armchair with a smile on my face. Someone remembered my birthday even before I remembered it. "But I wonder when his birthday is? What if it already passed this year?!" I panicked and jumped out of my chair. "Is this a passive aggressive move? Does he secretly want to get rid of me?" I reached for my notebook to write down my thoughts but stopped before I reached for my pen. "No, I won't worry about it too much, I'll just bring it up casually at lunch...because we can do that right?" I paced back and forth in my small room. "Right, normal human interactions, I can totally do this!"
Pushing my thoughts and my birthday wishes on the side, I took out my notebook to begin work. Piles of files had covered my desk like those in comic books, yet I somehow felt the motivation to do it all today. Once I had sorted through all of the tedious work, I got back to my favorite part of my job-being both an editor and a creator of stories. Editing has always been something that I have enjoyed doing, even though for most, it is a boring job. Personally, it allows me to take a peek into someone's world and see how they express themselves. It's very interesting. So, today, I edited a story about Korean makeup and skincare-maybe I'll get into something like that one day.
When lunch time came around again, I was excited to meet Haruki at lunch. He always seems to appear out of nowhere these days, though. As I exited the building to enter the beautiful late winter wonderland, I breathed in the happy, crisp, air of a world that was excited for spring. Snow still littered the ground in patches around the sidewalk and my breath could still be seen as I panted from taking the stairs again. I watched the faded leaves fall from their branches and the birds that would pick at crumbs from the ground. I even noticed the smallest of snowflake fall from the sky and the big moon that watched over the city. It is a very happy day.
As I walked around the bend to find an empty bench, I wasn't too surprised since I'm usually here first. However, it wasn't until I found a black cap on the ground that began to make me worry.
