A Funny Thing Happened

...a couple of days after the party.

It's been a gradual change and I imagine that by the end of the week, it should be complete.

The past is truly behind me. Oh, I don't deny its aftereffects and the weirdness done to my psyche.

But so many things now feel truly behind me. The layoffs. The badness with Xman. The confusion with Anonymous Boyfriend.

I feel freer than I have in a long time. I don't feel a heavy burden sitting on my shoulders. I have realized that I do indeed have friends in Jersey, after years of denying it. I can see ahead more clearly and realistically. I'm able to sit still without crazy-assed notions and whims pulling me this way and that.

What that course will be exactly, I don't know. I'm at anchor. I'm charting my course.

If you're luck is like mine, as soon as you pull anchor to venture out of the harbor, another storm will come.
