I miss being excited about simple things

Dear Delyara, I used to get excited so easily. A plan, a message, a weekend, a project, even a nice weather forecast — small things used to move something in me. Lately everything has to pass through tiredness first. I don’t know if that’s adulthood, stress, disappointment, or some slow version of sadness I haven’t properly named yet. I still enjoy things. Just less automatically. And I miss that old lightness in myself.
