The relief when you finally see "received" on your transfer after a 14 hour shift
Just got home from the hospital. Feet hurt, back hurts, haven't eaten properly since morning. Sent money to my mom during my lunch break and spent the rest of my shift lowkey anxious because she hadn't confirmed yet.
Finally sat down, checked my phone, saw her message "natanggap na anak" with a heart emoji. And I just... exhaled. Like my whole body relaxed.
It's such a small thing but when you're far away and tired and worried, that confirmation message hits different. Anyway. Time to sleep.
