So my mental state has calmed down a bit. My desire to find a real world friend on a similar path has quieted down quite a bit. Also my curiosity to check out a place that does transformations has nearly been extinguished.
I am not sure what brought these about, but I believe I'm balancing back out again. Perhaps it was because I as out of town, or maybe I just haven't been keeping myself busy enough. I'm not really sure. It is quite possible that it may flair up again, guess we shall see. All I know is that I'm glad it is over. I was over analyzing things and it was taking me down a very dark path.
When you reach the bottom there's no place to go but up. What goes up must come down. That's me, a sine wave, a roller coaster ride that never ends.
