A brief lull

It's probably just a brief lull before the next tidal wave rolls in and drowns me in a sea of depression and rage, but today I actually feel like I'm going to beat this. I'm going to persevere over these mental illnesses that have wreaked havoc on my life for so long.

I feel a sense of empowerment coursing through me, a calmness I haven't felt in a long time. Since I know those feelings can, and probably will, disappear in a flash; I'm going to wallow in them, just as I would wallow in depression. I'm going to smother them over me like a warm, inviting blanket on a snowy winter day and bask in remembering what it feels like to be human again.
