A really long while.

Took time off from...a lot of things for a while.

And I feel different.

I feel...happy. I think.

I definately feel lighter.

And this is sort of a recent thing. I mean, for several months, I've been conflicting with myself a lot. My thoughts, my feelings, my beliefs...<insert cheesy pause> ...my heart...

Sometimes when I think about certain things, my stomach knots up and makes me lose my appetite. I think about the decisions I've made, and wonder if what I did was really the right thing.

I knew I was taking my chances. But I did what...what I felt was best. Even if it might not have seemed like the best, in the end, I think it turned out that way. And I feel better.

A lot better.

I feel more fulfilled, more...whole.

How many people have ever actually done something like this...just, taking time away from everything you felt was too heavy for you in life, forcing certain things to keep their distance for a while...and actually ended up with a result you were actually content with? Or maybe, the result you got only made things worse?

I don't know. I'm just curious, I guess. I don't think anyone's really going to read this. But at least I got something off of my mind, and into some text.
