Engaged

I’m engaged! Thank you for forgiving that I lapsed on my intention to write you something every day for 30 days, even if you don’t 100% forgive me. I proposed to Joseph under the milky way and shooting stars, then he proposed to me, and now I have Granny’s unique ring to wear, and everyone sees me slightly differently. I’d started therapy, made major realizations. Before we make more assumptions, I’ve now stepped back from therapy, with a diagnosis of “within the range of normal.” Good feelings are challenging to describe. In an effort to reassure you I do not intend to contract like we sometimes see engaged, mentally healthy people do, I have a strong urge to tell you I’m feeling EXPANSIVE. But actually I’m feeling BALANCED. The trail I’m on has a good enough view to give me vertigo, but it’s wide enough that I don’t need to flail my arms or urge any of you to step farther from the edge. I’m glad you’re here.

It has been five minutes. Thank you ever so bever so much.
