Flush birthday spins cleared and I'm still not used to the quiet

[LiamAnderson]

So the Flush thing actually worked. Like, paid out, hit the wallet, done. And I keep checking my phone expecting... I don't even know. A bill? A notification? Something to chase?

The money pinch being over is weird man. I'm not scrambling for the first time in I can't remember. Put a bit by, nothing dramatic, just... There. Sitting. And my brain doesn't know what to do with Friday afternoon when it's not emergency-deposit o'clock.

I keep opening Google News for Dallas Texas local news like it's a slot I can hit. Ross Fire up in Palo Pinto, measles case in the county, some guy nailed a police cruiser on 35. Reading it like gossip. At least when I was broke there was a rhythm to it, you know?

Now it's just... Quiet. And the quiet feels like I'm forgetting something important.

Yeah mate I get that — the quiet after feels wrong somehow, like you're waiting for the catch

Last May I had that £140 cashback from Cleobetra pull me out of a dead night and still kept refreshing thinking it'd vanish, it's never really yours til it's off the table is it

LiamAnderson you gonna chase that feeling or let it sit
