Strike that.

Despite last night's maudlin post and the Avril Lavigne song title header, I realized today that there is a happy ending. Since Sunday I've noticed that what seems to have been a fixation on the past, nostalgia at its worst sometimes, has diminished. Slowly, the thing I didn't know was responsible for keeping me back (from what? I don't know that either) is readjusting itself and its relationship to my way of thinking, and now it's like all kinds of new things are opening up for me, mentally speaking. I'm too lazy to say much more than that, but man, this seems promising.
