Few will know these things and fewer still will understand what this is to me in this moment of tonight. But I really don't care because what I feel right now is real and I haven't felt the feeling of real in a while. Today is my birthday. I'm older now. Wiser? Maybe, maybe not. I definitely went through enough when I was 18. Now is my time to learn from it. And I'm kicking it off with a night of listening to an album I have abandoned. Age of Adz. By Sufjan Stevens. And it's different now I think, I wasn't older yet, I wasn't wise I guess. I want so much to be at rest. And I will fall asleep to an old friend singing of futile devices, getting real, getting right, and dear impossible souls. And I will cry at the memories but relate it with new. Because today is a day of transition. Because I want to be well. And I'm not ******* around.

Simplicity in chaos and joy in the anxiety.
