Days like today I feel so emotionally drained after hours under the heavy load of pretence. The idea of sitting quietly in the dark is warm and inviting as my sanity leans tantalizingly close to the edge. We rode along at the back of a van today; my cousin and I agreed that four to five in a van like this one makes for a pretty amazing getaway to the soft rhythms of early a.m. blues. Covers of old school boybands perhaps. Soon it will be time for big steps into unknown territory and the odds are stacked rather treacherously against me. Nervous? Yes. Excited? Hell definitely.
