It has been a while since I have written, but plenty has been going on.... like always most has been behind the scenes. In other words, in my head. I have become quite the master of hiding my emotions. Most of last week was spent repressing equally massive amounts of anger and sorrow. Summer always seems to bring these feelings to the front... Maybe because I function better in the cooler and calmer fall/winter as opposed to the hot and chaotic summer. Who knows? Regardless I am feeling a bit better this week. I am still very edgy and I fear that I will be for some time. I am hitting the weights again at least.... That always makes me feel better. Maybe I will take a run later in the week. That would be very nice. Help me in clearing my head... Drain some of the negativity from my system. I think maybe a bit of solitude would be the best overall solution, but life as it is now will simply not allow it. Responsibility... sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it. But... I am the rock, the solid foundation from which others build their lives and I can't take that lightly. Carry on.... Atlas
