I’m having a rather strange year. Very different to the last one.
While the first half was terrible, in fact the darkest time of my whole life, but the recent past is the complete opposite. I can’t remember that I ever had such a positive attitude. My usual mindset was pessimistic and often depressed.
Now, this is a little paradox because I’m in the middle of getting divorced. But I realized it’s the right decision. When this is sorted out, I can start working on a new future. If I can be bothered that is. Right now it is good to just live happy, healthy and not have plans.
I am still getting used to feel good. Sounds strange right? But really, I actually never was this way. Maybe a few days or hours at a time, but never this long and never so deep. I can’t even tell if this is the way life is supposed to be, I never experienced this.
I am a totally different person now. Most of my world views are still the same but my general attitude against life is the other way around. Right now life is a joy not a drag.
Now, this post might ring a few alarm bells for some people. Chill and let me explain something: Compared to my manic episodes, I can’t really be bothered to work around the clock. In fact it’s the opposite. I train a little bit more, but only in the weeks when I don’t have my daughter. When she is around I don’t have time for that. I learn too many languages at once right now. I noticed that and already consider cutting back. Personally, I don’t think I’m manic at the moment. Buy keep your eyes open, just in case ;-)
See that? That’s me being happy.
I need a witness to my life it wasn’t this way all the time
