What today feels like to me

So many things but such relief.

Have you ever been on a long camping trip where weeks later you get back to civilization? Running water. Lights. Refrigerator with food. Did I mention Hot running water? Those simple comforts.

Or have you ever been sick for an extended period and finally out of the hospital? No one interrupting you with something annoying all the time. Being able to walk outside again. It feels like freedom.

I've never been in prison, but I would bet that getting out has that same feelings of relief and freedom.

Not floating. Not zen. Just ..just. Like normal. No madness. No one making an ass of themself for the sake of attention every hour or so.
