It’s 10:39 p.m. and I’m sitting on the bed in my hotel room feeling a myriad of feelings that I thought were long gone. I feel like the world is my own. It is as though I stepped out of myself - the person I am when I am dragging myself out of bed each morning to walk into a job that means nothing to me, the feeling of confusion that seems to take hold of me when I wake up in the morning and I don’t know who I am, why I am in the place I’m in - and became who I really am. I am only beginning to understand.

I feel connected to everything around me.

Tonight, I walked alone on the streets of Boston in the rain. I let the rain soak through my shirt, seep into my skin, and I felt so unbelievably alive…

Faces from the past, the now, and the future ran through my mind and all I could do was smile, and walk.

I feel connected to the street, the sky, each person aside of me on the subway… most of all I feel connected to me.

I am in love with the world.

Goodnight.
