In the Stillness at Nighttime

When I was moving out the apartment, I figured that a new chapter would commence as the summer season was beginning its exit. It certainly did. After the brief vacation at the hospital, I was able to snag up a job, and continue writing for the websites to keep the fingers and words afloat. Since then, every day has been a different mission of varying calibers of thought and action.

It all feels so new now. I wake up to sunshine instead of the higher sounds of lawnmowers outside the basement spot, and I can easily step outside to smell the morning air. To think that none of this would be possible for at least another decade is a nice thought to process - one with satisfactory contemplation and reflection. It's good to stay busy in lieu of staying still.

As I sit at this new place of mine, listening to The Five Satins, I continue to wonder what other paths life could've dealt me with. I wake up with mild fear, but it soon morphs into serenity whenever I look back and think of the things before today. The plaza down the street can provide some fun tales to tell now that I'm closer to the madness of civilization, so I'm looking forward to discovering more individuals and quest items that tell a story of their own. Perhaps, one time in the stillness at nighttime, I'll be able to uncover a new adventure that's worthy of being written down.
