so let me down softly this time.

It's pleasant to be so wrapped up in my own little life, it really, truly is. My job is enjoyable, the people I've met there are so vastly different and interesting. Especially one woman who I would love to just keep in my pocket and carry around with me. She's such an amazing person with so much to offer. It's funny too, because I think that she has no idea how much I love to hear her talk about her past and present. She makes me think, causes me to check myself at times and is someone I just love to be around. I think she's what I wish I could be.

This morning I spent an hour and twenty minutes reading the local newspapers and tonight I tracked my spending while eating s'mores pudding. It's like I'm in this happy place in my life right now where I'm realizing that I am capable of adult responsibilites but at the same time I can still have fun and enjoy things. I hope I never outgrow that.

There is one part of me that I feel crawling back into the foreground stronger each day. I'm not sure what exactly triggered it or why, but I think I can approach this in a healthy way.

I'll be there as always feet submerged and probably frozen

Just one thing?
If I don't need a piece of paper to prove to myself that I am intelligent, then why do I need one to prove it to others?
