#love and purpose are stored in the llama wine bucket

[clownboy-yeehonk]

For my work secret santa I got a gift basket with wine, glasses, a candle, and a llama wine bottle holder thing, and when I thanked the girl who gave it to me she was so excited and told me how she looked so hard for a basket with the Llama because she knew I really liked them and it was just so sweet of her, but the thing is I've never actually had a strong opinion either way on llams. I have a couple scrub tops that have llamas on them (they're a popular pattern theme idk why) but I guess she got it in her head that they're my favorites (for the record my favorite animals are gorillas elephants and any kind of cat big or small)

And like first of all, I would now rather die than EVER let her know my ambivalence towards llamas, but also like...I think about that every time I see a llama now. I'm gonna go through the rest of my life remembering how this girl was so excited to get me something she thought I would like, and she also wrote a really nice card to go with it about me being a good friend, and not to sound like a fortune cookie but the thought does count and it was just so lovely and I'll never think of llamas the same way again bc I do love them now. Anyway love is transformative and also stored in the Llama wine bucket

#something something there are more people than you think that not only notice but care about you and see you as a friend #im pretty friendly with most of my coworkers but we dont necessarily hang out outside of work #and part of me still very much feels like im still the weird kid in the middle school cafeteria with no one to sit with but thats not true #most people are nice #and i do really try and help my newer coworkers especially bc i know how scary and stressful it is to be new #so i go out of my way to support them and let them know they can always ask me for help and i wont think theyre dumb for asking a question #and i guess it works! they do feel supported and like they can ask for help! i made a difference for someone! #and thats a good feeling even if ive got other crap going on or not going on rn #i did something good and made someone feel better and less scared while learning a difficult and stressful job #sort of that be the person you needed when you were younger kinda thing #and i think thats the 2024 goal to be the person i needed when i was younger and to be someone a young me would be impressed by #love and purpose are stored in the llama wine bucket
