The Problems Thread

I dunno how to even begin to respond to this, btp. But I can say that the reception was very, very good.

Granted, I'm in a much better mood today than I was when I wrote that. But. gosh, I really don't think I've ever been as excited to read something in my life; I was caught in between my laptop and running through my kitchen to clean things. I would have done that anyways, but I was giggling the whole way though, and excitedly rushing back to see what the next paragraph had to say after I got done fawning over the previous. You set down an entire half hour just to read my adventure, with your wife. Jesus, that's powerful. First of all, I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and second of all, that's cute as all hell. It really, really brightened my day to hear that. Thank you.

The other thing that got to me was this: I probably AM putting too much thought into how much I am (or am not) using my time. And that's a really profound statement to make, given how many reasons there are to think otherwise, be it from society or other sources. And I haven't really been making a point to enjoy myself and focus less on the negatives in life, I suppose. And when you pointed that out, though indirectly, that was like a second weight lifted up from my chest. What a strange way to describe what I felt. Immediate gratification and ease.

Gah, it just feels so good! Stupidly good. I'm grinning ear to ear like an idiot.

Thank you guys so much.
