A resurgence...

...of a very old feeling.

I remember that warm, tingly feeling that I used to get when I was younger. It happened when I came out of the movie theatre after a particularly thrilling film or anticipated the next episode of a TV show. It's hard to describe or explain it, but it felt like the entire universe was opened up and every possible possibility lay exposed before me. My heart expanded and I was filled with more joy than I could comprehend.

The full feeling never lasted very long; perhaps an hour or two. But for days afterwards the faint traces would remain. I hadn't felt that way in many years, and still remembered it fondly, almost wistfully.

And now it's back. Ebbing and flowing, but I can not erase the stupified smile from my face, and it's got nothing to do with drugs.
