Left My Work Gratitude Journal Behind

Anonymous Suspicious Fox #301 · General

I've been keeping this little gratitude journal at work for a while now. It's become my go-to when things get stressful, like jotting down the small wins or reminding myself why I love working in retail despite the crazy hours and tough customers. But yesterday, on my way out of the store after a long day, I must've accidentally left it behind on one of those weirdly comfortable office chairs we have at work. The journal has all these little notes to myself about how grateful I am for my team, or funny moments that made me laugh when everything felt tough. And now there's this tiny chance someone else read it... What if they think I'm some kind of overly cheerful person who writes too much? Or worse, what if a coworker saw something and thought 'oh no, she likes me' (in a like-like way)? It’s just so embarrassing to think about. I'll probably never know for sure, but the guilt is eating at me all day long.
