you replied, in the calmest of waves amidst an angry storm. have always admired and respected you for never wavering in even the worst of circumstance, falling back on logic instead of emotion (i run into situations with my heart on my sleeve). i am the opposite, and that's why you'd always been my rock, steadying me when i get giddy with anger/fear/excitement.
it's been a strange week. self control is probably one of the hardest things in the world, which is ironic, because it is entirely up to yourself. but it worked this week, and i'm thankful, it gave me time to clear my mind, and align my expectations with reality. and finally? i think i'm much closer to the finish line.
