thanks

A special thank you goes out this late night/early morning to my friends, who are a large part of what gives my life meaning.

I am feeling much better, like I used to feel. I'm still thinking about things, but I'm not letting my thoughts consume me. I'm not letting them worry me to the point of distraction from life. I can feel sad or melancholy without it sending me into despair. I have felt joy again. I don't remember the last time I felt this way for more than a few hours at a time.

I am hoping that now I have the strength to make the kind of changes in my life that I want to make. Hopefully over break I can think this through and come up with a sort of plan. Then we'll see how that plan works when I come back to C-U in January.

Hopefully I'll write more later.
