A Rock.

this week was pretty wild, to say the least.

and to say the least, I’d be saying “I’m a lot less scared of everything and I’m actually in a solid, good mental state at the moment.”

I’ve had some surprising character development, and I think it really shined yesterday, during Deb Practice.

now, you might think that someone like Will Ash would fucking hate Deb Practice.

and you know what?

I thought the same, initially.

it’s a culmination of all of my least favourite things

  • people
  • pressure to do well
  • people
  • wack as music
  • physical contact with people I don’t know
  • people

so I feared the worst.

but I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself actually enjoying it after a while. It’s certainly an interesting way to get to know a person.

genuinely, once that fear of colossal failure melted away, I had a really good time and I’m oddly looking forward to the next one.

 

and tonight, of course! tonight was a culmination of some of my favourite things

  • my friends
  • pizza
  • my friends
  • in-depth conversation
  • surface level, meme-y conversation
  • my friends

 

somewhere during the Hamilton-based escapade, however, I got really sad that I didn’t bring my camera, as I saw a multitude of perfect photo opportunities, as well as something to remember the night by (and, more so, something to remember my other-worldly good mood by)

this momentary sadness, however, faded away when upon the walk home, I spotted a rock on the ground.

it’s about the size of my palm, sparkly yet significantly dark.

and I’m very glad that I have a physical reminder of how much light there really is to be had in life, and that even in the lowest point in my life to date, I can find refuge within my comfort zone and outside it.

 

You know; Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. – Albus Dumbledore
