Medication of the nation

So I'm about to join the medicated masses... let's hope it doesn't totally drain my creativity or otherwise you might not hear from me in a while : (

But the main thing is I'm happy(ier), right?

That's what friends are for

I think you have to be a little bit in love, and a little bit in lust, with your friends.

It's just so pleasing to catch a familiar face from a certain angle and get that tiny thrill of desire or affection. To notice they've aged a little but in a good way, maybe it's exhaustion showing because they're too busy to put on makeup.

I love the way people are their own steryotypes. Something so solid about someone reacting or behaving exactly as you'd expect.

There is nothing quite so enjoyable as concocting a plan with an old friend, or a new one. The complicity, the single-mindedness of a pair (or more) devising future delights.

Everyone I know enough to love has particular features that I crave on occasion. And am sated, hopefully, by seeing them. It may not be quite sexual but it can feel a bit that way. I won't deny it.

The calm

Before or after the storm?

O woe is me

So unhappy, even without drinking!

Must make a significant change and wondering if quitting with no other real prospects is self-preservation, brave... or really stupid?

I think the former.

Watch me dive!
