there are many sayings to encourage. that's clearly an understatement. 'when you're down, the only other way you can go is up' is one of those many sayings that sticks with me. well, it's precisely the strength it takes for us to gather that upward momentum that needs consideration, don't you think. but somehow, it never fails to give me the added push i might need. i don't know how many more pushes i'd need before things turn around. i'm not sorted out as yet. i thought i was. alone time has been good, if you choose not to consider the pointless and silly thoughts that run through my head every milisecond. yea, it's been quite ... peaceful?
