a refreshingly normal week.

this week actually felt normal.
wow,
am i even
writing this?

wednesday was absent of
depressive thoughts
and i felt
alive.

the old me
peeked around her head
around the curtain to say
hello!

it was like seeing
a loved one
i hadn't seen in a while
in a moment of
serendipity.

i was on my own side
this week.
i was not warring against myself.
even better,
i was ready to begin
each day.

this is what i prayed for!
a week without depression.
thank you God
for a week of normality
or whatever that looks like.

i found myself
feeling like a little extrovert.
thriving upon the company of others:
so many interesting people.

i felt full of energy
to dive into their worlds,
to swim a little while.
i took photographs of their beautiful experiences.
i taped them to my fridge
when i got home.

thank you God for a beautiful week.
