sprinkled with mania

This right here is a good place. 
My mind and soul are peaceful.
My mouth is sore from smiling, my voice hoarse from laughing. My favorite ailments any day.
I'm doing just fine these days. 

It's a wild peace, abnormal in nature. Who can honestly feel as content as I do, as roll off the shoulder as I do, as happy as I do...when you remember everything else. 
School is exhausting and I'm killing myself to keep up.
Mom finished chemo and is preparing for surgery in a few weeks.
It all just piles up.

I think back to when I was freshly done with high school and how serious I was. 
Because I was an adult now.
I had to be serious.

I wasted a lot of time being serious. 

Today, those "serious topics" wouldn't garner my attention.
I don't have time for that drama.
I suppose that's called growing up. 

I am living the dream.
Living life to the fullest - not sweating the small stuff - keeping the faith - this too shall pass 
You can see where this is going.

It may just be a little sprinkle of mania.
But this right here is a good place.
