a return to things new and familiar

It has been a while. Stuff happened in the in-between. School. Death. Life. Learning. Changing. Too much stuff to cover. But now I'm drowsily chronicling all this newness in my apartment. It feels as if my arms have been unbound and life is radically different. No school for a while. Limited hours at work. But I feel new and unpredictable. Like... the other day I went off with some friends from work and got pretty stoned for the first time because, well... I couldn't think of any reason not to. It was a wonderful experience. Everything became loose and smiles came easily. But not just smiles. Happiness. It wasn't just from being stoned, though. It was from living. Living for the first real time, maybe. It's strange. I haven't forgotten that I hurt and am kind of lonely. It just doesn't seem as important.

That's about all the coherence I can muster for the moment. I hope you all have a pleasant day.
