Friends

Hard but necessary.

From experience

A secluded life is full of missed opportunities.

Clarity

Time alone has erased all falsehoods.

Space

Moon shines through
a thin veil of clouds
Illuminating the cold night
obscuring the stars.

The only sounds are the wind
the exhalation of breath
and sighing at the time.

Night is a lonely companion
Emphasizing silence
Solitude…
Dreams…

Sleep overcomes them all
flights of fancy and rationality
It beckons with promises of a new day
and perhaps something different.

Feeling good while there are still problems seems hollow.

Others

There is still that need to be around people.

Frustration is king

I feel good, but the problems are still there.

Skillz

I’m skilled at my job. Feels good knowing that.

Better living through chemistry

Having now received a clean bill of mental health from the psychologist I’m wonder if I’m cured or do I just feel this way because life is good. Some issues a bubbling just under the surface.

Brain surgery

Crying comes simultaneously with acknowledgment
Truth hurts
A unfortunate side effect of realisation
Storm before the calm
Old rationalisations don’t work
new ones fail to form
Truth hurts
Clarity shines through

Truth heals
