The Cure

This I what it feels like. I had forgotten the rush of endorphins that floods your system when you get it. Your brain is on such a high that you almost find yourself gasping for air because the happiness, the validation is gobbling up your oxygen supply like a toddler on Halloween. It can be completely insignificant in the long run, but right now my skin feels tingly and some part of me—my soul, my heart, my core, whatever you want to call it, feels that this long-awaited reassurance, confidence, self-validation is finally, finally here. And it feels sublime.
