You know that feeling when you’re holding your breath underwater, counting, lungs bursting, determined to stay that little bit extra and finally, your lungs give way and you shoot out of the water faint and gasping for air? And in that first breath, as your brain relaxes and vision clears, you feel like a moron?

I do. Literally and figuratively. Realized one of the simplest truths of my life this morning. I don’t remember feeling this light in my mind in a long time. In the span of half hour I find I’m ‘over’ a lot of emotional baggage from the past. Another bad experience, another lesson learnt.

And you know what? Life really is simple. Sunshine and rainbows. There is darkness, but of the good kind. I’m free.
