Pleasant.
Yesterday was pleasant.
It took me by surprise, to be honest.
It's just been so long since things have felt this... okay.
This calm and settled and normal.
It's like my head's gone quiet. As if all those whispering anxieties, haunting memories, and soul-crushing regrets have gone home.
I laughed when I fell into bed last night. I couldn't stop myself. And even now, I couldn't tell you exactly why I was laughing.
Maybe it was a celebration of ten thousand steel talons of doubt finally relaxing their hold on me, letting me breathe deep and see clearly again.
Whatever it was, I laughed myself to sleep and I slumbered like stone.

This is raw. A little loose in the beginning but ends with a truth I appreciate you sharing.
