Woman, You Got Too Many Brambles. But I Always Liked a Good Storm

Indeed it was a sleepless night. But, instead of heading to see the Waterfalls I just did the dishes, made coffee and tea, read more of Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies and went to work early. I cleaned the apartment and cleared my mind of those small things that get caught up in the thick of things and become larger issues with more weight than they ever should have been granted.

It's amazing what a day can do. At 6 AM I was feeling fairly confused yet very aware of my own emotions and the existing situation. Shortly in the wake, however, I began to be filled with an immense sense of possibility. I had a very productive day at work, came home and had an incredible yoga session, and then settled into some green tea and reading. I was feeling so calm that I even, like the old man I sometimes am, fell asleep with the book on my chest.

Now Dan and I have ordered Chinese food and are settling into some movies. Things actually are good. I feel like Dan and I are getting along really well recently, work is going well, and I'm starting to get going on my thesis after some time of neglecting it.

Things aren't always apocalyptic. Sometimes you just need to get things off your chest that you've been holding onto for way too long.
