Good Morning

It's time for bed.

It took me a long time to get this far, to the very beginning. A long time of turning the other way, going to work every morning, coming home, having dinner, and going to sleep. A long time of steadfastly ignoring my own ache. A long time casting about, in between commuting and computing and consuming. A long time after I admitted to myself what I wanted. A long time after I told myself what I should do.

Finally, clearing out the cobwebs. Finally, dusting off the covers. Finally, at the end of the day, early in the morning, when I'm about to go to sleep, cracking open the lid.

It took me a long time to get this far, to the very beginning. And that's as far as I'll go for now.

Good night.
