I felt incredibly positive today. That’s not necessarily my default setting. Or at least, it hasn’t been for quite a long time. However, I admit my recent shift in mindset has greatly reduced my stress levels and my overall unhappiness. That’s not to say I don’t still get low sometimes; I’m only human. I just don’t live there like I used to. And today, I felt utterly magnificent. Motivated. Hopeful. Yes, I am totally sober.
(I know some of you were probably wondering.)
Today was just a good day.
I put a lot of things on hold these last few months due to educational endeavors. I have been participating in an academic course related to the day job. I’m only three weeks away from completion, so after that I plan to get my writing and podcasting fired back up. I had a few people ask me about the podcast, Craving the Darkness. Given the new direction in which my creative work seems to be heading, many wondered if the format to the show would change. As of this blog post, I don’t intend to change it much at all. The only major difference will be the host. I will be speaking as myself rather than the Twisted Libra. I still want to discuss macabre subjects; however, I feel my new creative direction will allow me to branch out into other subjects as well. I won’t be strictly beholden to the supernatural. I’m excited to see where this new path leads.
Feeling the freedom of full self-expression has been amazing so far. I am no longer hidden behind a persona; no longer confined to what appeals to a niche group. Above all else, I am truly happy for the first time in a long while. I have hope. I have new ideas. I am moving in a positive direction. I wouldn’t trade this feeling for anything in the world.
Until next time…
