An upswing of emotions, a high brought about by adrenaline, only to be swept away and enveloped in silence at the drop of a hat.
At my best, I am alive, a wire, the world vibrant and alive greets me at every turn. Yet I’ve dipped my toes within darker regions, inky pits of despair to others, yet calm silent voids to me…I am blessed. Blessed to be me, to be able to reach for heights untold and to be able to avoid the maelstrom of despair that can enfold those unfortunate enough to own the two opposite ends of the spectrum.
How bizarre, to be able to feel and yet be able withdraw into the relative safe void that hides within my soul. I would not change a thing. To live, to sink my teeth within this life and suck the sweet juices dripping down my fingers…what a lovely thing it is to be me!
