A close friend told me today that I seem happier than I did last semester, and I would have to agree.

I feel alive, vibrant, and energized about life. Life, by the way, is a pretty cool thing.

Last semester, I felt like that homework that was suppose to make me more intelligent, was actually stressing me to the point where the functioning of my brain was as slow as molasses. I couldn’t talk about my thoughts, because I didn’t have any, and I could express my feelings, because they came too slowly to realize what they were. Like the best I could do socially last semester was blank stares.

But that is all different. I can communicate, entertain, make jokes, and be functional again. I can think, express my emotions, and my thoughts fly free like they have wings. I really am happy, life is great.
