Looking for work

I'm looking for work again this time via LinkedIn although my chance is very, very slim. I'm not sure if this is unrealistic optimism but might as well give it a try. There's no harm in trying after all, although it can be very frustrating but I've come to deal with frustration throughout my life that I've treated it with a grain of salt, and view it as being normal. 

In case I have no luck in getting a new job, I'll just focus on working out. A simple 30 minute workout activity makes me very, very tired that it would take a couple of days for me to recuperate and resume with this routine. At least I have not given up exercising at my age and I'm still reaping the benefits of exercise.

Aside from working out, I try to brisk walk late in the afternoons to warm up and get some fresh air. My mom once said that in case I get married, I would have to make a commitment to family responsibilities. When that happens, I would have to give up certain things including my hobbies.

In order not to get lonely, I watch educational and uplifting YouTube/Netflix videos instead of reading. I might say reading takes effort while listening to YouTube videos on the background is relaxing. I also remind myself that sadness comes and goes, what matters is that I'm okay overall.

Kisses and hugs

In order to get jumpstarted, I get kisses and hugs from Sago. There's  some sort of magic happening every time I kiss and hug her when she's lying on the couch. In medical terms, I guess it's called oxytocin.

It's the same feeling when we take a walk outside in the mornings when she does her business. Me and Sago are also happy every time we eat our breakfast although it only consists of canned meat/fish and fried eggs. Moreover, Sago is my security blanket who puts me to sleep whenever she lies close to me.

I could just imagine what it would be like kissing a human who takes me for granted. I'm telling you: if you're looking for love, get a pet and your heart will never get broken.

Just in case

Humans can disappoint us in one way or the other, or they can be very demanding but dogs can never break our hearts. Moreover, they're gentle creatures requiring little maintenance.

In case I am destined to be single until eternity, Sago will forever be in my heart that's for sure. 

Like I said, I've come to treat Sago like my very own child. Like humans, she needs my love and attention. She is my only pet but I have to make sacrifices. I can just imagine what other sacrifices taking care of a human would entail. I might neglect Sago for that reason. I'm afraid I won't have any free time for myself.

I need not beg Sago to love me. She very much appreciates my efforts, therefore she is loyal to me. With that, I am contented to have her as my lifetime companion.
