98. nice while it lasted
if you're going to do something, you better give it your all. that's always been the philosophy i grew up believing. and when it comes to a bender, i feel the same way. the past ten days were not an uninterrupted stretch of folly and golly and roundabout whimsical pleasure and adventure. i worked and stuck to a basic semblance of a routine. it was still a bender, but i wouldn't call it a full one. it wasn't the fantastical bender i imagined.
and i'm grateful for that. i'm called back to the world, and something tells me there'll be an opportunity to "bend" more completely and foolishly in the future. and whatever this was, well, it was chock full of beautiful, tender, cherry moments. and that's enough, really. maybe this is the time i learn how to have enough.
goodbye again, dear page. drop a line, say how you're feeling and give me a holler to let me know you're there. i've still got a ways to go. but you know, i'll be around.
so let's just say, it was nice while it lasted.
