The Anti-Climax

It's here. I've still quite a bit more work to do, but I retreat into my hermit-like state in order to complete it. It will all officially be over in two weeks time.

I slept until 1:30 pm today. Old Demons Die Hard.

But that little bit of community and friendship I finally found, after three years of searching and longing --- its all over.

I am not of the sentimental sort. And I am not scared of the return to an assertion of inpendence and the collateral lonliness. Its as familiar as the familariity I finally got.

And every major transition I've undergone has been anti-climactic.

So I just need to put one foot in front of the next and keep walking to the next phase. I've got nothing to truly look back at. But I can't yet be excited to look forward with the burden of production left on me. And perhaps the lack of full recovery does scare me.

So I guess I just do as before, breathe in breathe out.
Open the book and start and let the time wash over me until the end.
Just don't think.
