No Downsides.

I can't believe it's been almost a month.

I had an epiphany last night. In an hour or less I patched up psychic wounds that has been rubbed raw for months on end.

It's not easy to put more words to it than that without becoming oblique and cryptic or exceedingly personal and revealing, and I wish to do neither (but make no promises). Regardless, I'm more joyful now than I've been for quite a while. My mind is at rest, I am at ease.

Better than merely those things, I found a new faith in Other People's Wisdom and it's a humbling experience. It's unexpected and inexplicable, but this epiphany has put a decent-sized crack in my cynicism, and I don't want it to heal over again. I hope beyond hope that I remember this feeling and that it makes me a better, more gentle person.

It's strange to me, but this epiphany isn't completely grounded in reality. There is evidence for and against its factuality, perhaps more on the "against" side (but that might be the months of baggage talking). Accepting the epiphany as truth, however, makes the puzzle pieces in my mind fit together in a way that just seems right. I'm going to put down my pride and let this new idea be true.

Letting go of my pride isn't a downside. Pride can be heavy. :P

Things get better. People improve. It does happen. Be good to each other.
Have friends you can trust, and trust them.


For additional positivity...




And Draco inspired me to write my own verses:

I love to read books
Love always learning stuff
I love to crack jokes
I hope I'm funny enough
I love the whole world
and all my awesome friends

Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da

I love to draw things
I love the internet
I love just living
and I'm not finished yet
I love the whole world
and hope it never ends

Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da
Boom de ya-da!
