Something about this holiday feels different. Like my life is my own again and I've lots of plans, lots of motivation to do things.

The past 2? 3? breaks have been all about escaping, through sleep, through friends, through desperately doing things. I did as much as I could because I had to, or I'd have gone mental. This time there's no deep dark urgency. It feels... lighter.

Nice to notice these little signs of progress. (:
