this never really happened... i don't know what it is..
Today, I awoke at 8AM, and wasn't depressed. I wasn't angry at my alarm as I usually am, for doing exactly what I program it to do. In fact, as the buzzing began, I left my bed, turned it off, and immediately put on my stereo. The Beatles. Then, I ran upstairs, yes ran--i had a hope in my step-- and poured a bowl of cereal. Fruit Loops, my friend. Bringing them downstairs, I set them on my desk as I continued to listen to the wonderful Rock and Roll. After my cereal was consumed, I had a shower, and it was glorious! I let the water hit my body for over half an hour, singing away to myself at the top of my lungs because I didn't care who I awoke, or who I angered. I was happy. I then dressed myself, in khaki pants (my favorite.. they are reversable!) and my Levi Strauss t-shirt, which happens to be too small, but I felt confident enough to wear today. Then I pulled my bag from under my bed and began to pack. Random-ness. A few likeable t-shirts, and my two favorite pairs of jeans. Almost forgot socks! Upstairs I went, grabbing my wallet and keys along the way. Picking up the phone, I dialed the number for a cab, and within 10 minutes it was there in my driveway. A good sign I thought. "To the airport," I said to the man, and off we went. The ride was a decent speed, and soon enough I was there. I waited in the proper terminal, and when the time came, my bags were checked, my ticket was scanned, and onto the small plane I went. Sitting in row H seat 3. Look at me go. The travel time to Toronto was brief. Enjoyable too, as I sat beside a woman in her mid-thirties, who was on her way to visit relatives. Her name was Denise, and she was quite a pleasant woman to talk to. We got along grande. The layover in Toronto was only 35 minutes, so I had time to get a coffee at Tim Hortons. Once I boarded the next plane, and the last leg of my journey, I discovered that I was sitting next to... Denise, no less! We both got quite a laugh out of it, and determined that it was fate. Because neither of us see a problem with fate, and believe that it's only the people with too much negative energy that don't want to set their mind on something as frivolous as "fate." And so there we were, on the 9 hour flight. I didn't mind at all. School of Rock was the film, and although I'd seen it in the theatre, I watched intently, as did Denise. Before we knew it, the flight attendants were preparing us for landing. Excitement came over me. I had no idea what I was to do once I got off the plan and collected my bag, but I knew it was to be enjoyable. And so there I was standing in baggage claim. My bag came round the carousel, and I took it, and headed towards the exit, after easily passing through customs. A smile. I stood outside, and got in line for a cab. Then, I heard someone calling my name. And although there are many people in the world that share my exact name, I knew the person shouting was determined to get my attention. I turned my head to the left, and saw my good friend Denise standing next to a cab with the door open, waving me over. So Denise and I shared a cab, and she questioned as to where I was going. I explained that I hadn't a clue, and no plan had been devised. She was shocked, and yet not surprised, as we'd shared so much about each other's personalities. And then, out of the kindness of her heart, Denise told me that I was to stay with her for the extent of her journey. And so here I am, sitting in a beautiful hotel room (part of which I AM paying for) in Napoli, Italia, with Denise on the balcony taking in the scenery. And I write to you people to tell you that no longer am I weighed down with the negativity I once held. I feel so absolutely cleansed, and carefree. No need for melancholic thinking, or aggravated demeanors. I feel pleasant and joyful, and I wish to share it with all those around me. I am writing to you to say that I will not be returning. Even when Denise parts (although she, too, seems uninterested in the life she left behind) I shall remain here, with the numerous friends I'm destined to make, and live a life I've always wanted. I'm sure I shall write, to each and everyone, but my physical presence is not available for you anymore. Thank you all so much. May you each find eternal happiness.
