Life

I learned a fair amount tonight. I had a chat with a new friend about an old one and it felt good. I haven't been able to snag a real conversation as of late so it was nice - even if it was only for ten minutes or so. I found myself being brutally honest and looking out more for my friend than myself. Both sides of the conversation were intellectual, and it felt good to be able to be honest and help out a true friend at the same time. I felt for him - knowing him as long as I could - and did my best to explain and differ a tight situation. I think I did my part and I feel good knowing that my opinion was held strongly, and that I was speaking as an outsider to benefit someone other than myself.

I thought a fair amount on the ride home too. About where I'm at and what I'm doing. I think about that more often than not, but still can't seem to progress or get it off my mind. Good talk makes me feels better. Like I'm not stuck in the places I hate being, and more like I'm in the real world. It's my world though, like it or not, so must make the best of it. ...
