Liberate Te Ex Inferis

     My boyfriend is asleep or so I think, my best friend never called me back to make plans like we were going to, my father’s reading Schopenhauer in the living room, and my mother is terrorizing the city with her friends.

     Although I rarely feel so nonexistent in this world to the people that matter most, a rarity unknown is how actually alive I feel. Today my horrors visited another human being, now I know that I am not the only one who knows them by first name. I am liberated. This is what it feels like to be free.

Good to hear you feel so free! I don't think I will ever feel free again. Maybe one day, nah, not really. When I am alone, living with only myself, my life seems much more alive and important. Feeling like a drowning ant in my surroundings just does not work for me. But this is about you and I am glad you got to spend time with your boyfriend and you are feeling so well. My hat is off to you! Keep it up and enjoy life.

@ kissafrog69: I never thought I would either, but I wanted to feel free so badly, and still do, that I've incorporated it as a part of my daily routine. Living instead of existing comes before all else in my life.
