Is it depressing to take down decorations the day after a holiday? I'm thinking of January 2nd, December 26th, and—in this case—November 1st. My office made some fantastic decorations, and we had to tear them down during our break today. Some of my co-workers mentioned that it was a sad thing to be tearing down all this fun, hard work. I agree it's a little sad, but when everything was cleaned up, I saw something a little different.
Everything was normal.
I hadn't seen this normal since two weeks ago. There was more room to move around. It was the old environment, and yet, it felt new. As much as I enjoy escaping reality with really cool fandoms and fantasy worlds (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, Legend of Zelda), as much as I really enjoy dressing up into other characters, I reallize how much I can truly appreciate normalcy. I am grateful that a couple weeks of Halloween festivities and decorations have led me to more fully appreciate things as they really, normally are.
