Relief, it washed over me like a tidal wave today. Freedom, it called my name like an old friend. Happiness won over melancholy. The last 48 hours has felt like two weeks yet I feel lighter and more myself than I have in a while.

I feel like I had a slight stumble, and for a second it felt like I was going to crash and burn hard. Instead I found my footing quicker than I lost it and continued on with a skip in my step. 

There were things I had subconsciously closed the doors on because it would make that life smoother, but now as all those doors fly back open I am shocked at how many I let close and can't decide which one to choose first.

Just today I cooked up a storm, got my hands dirty planting, got a raise and made an appointment for a mortgage. Probably more than I've done in weeks, my soul has been lit afire again and it's going strong.

Welcome back old friend, I've been missing you.
