Atlantis

"We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?" she whispered.

"No, we never had to."

-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged.

=====================


So this is how it feels, waking up with a smile on one's face. This is how it feels, looking forward to the day ahead, not wanting to waste any of it. This is how it feels not thinking, "Well, I just have to wake up and 'be done with it' ." of one's day. It's your day!!! It's so many hours of opportunity to use your intellect, your talent, your intuition. It's your day - simply breathing under the sole of another person's shoe is not living, it's merely existing. I wish I'd decided this earlier so I could've felt the joy I feel at the simple act of just waking up.

It's my day, and now I have a purpose. I'm off to start conquering those worlds I can see. Now.
