I thought this is all there is, but now I know you are so much more

Summer storm clouds roll through, scattered over the sky. Little bursts of thunder and rain come and go, bringing the sweet smell of hot concrete and water and dust. Thankfully I did my wandering earlier, in the hot still light. Investing in the armband to hold my phone so I can listen to my music is the only reason I can motivate myself to go out to exercise outside the house. The other thing I've learned is that putting on shoes makes me do things. Not just the sandals I wear most of the time, but real shoes.

Sometimes I wonder if this is just a new way to go mad, or if I am really finding my way back.

Today I severed a link to the past, getting rid of an old account. It will only be good to let go of things. Sometimes I feel a bit melancholy that I don't have a stronger tie to my past. But I feel lighter without it, and if there's anything I know about myself it is that I don't want too many things to weigh me down. Most of the things that really matter are inside me anyway.

I have bruises that I don't remember getting.
