this morning #601.

this morning, since the circle was supposed to be unbroken, he opted to hop on a plane & make his way out to the west coast. after losing his job & his best friend in the same week, the easier option would’ve been to call off his trip but that would’ve meant admitting that he was weak, that he had not grown. practicing the pleasure principle was not only a healthy coping mechanism but it was what would help get him through this. wallowing in self-pity would not. sure, there was always room for reflection but he always seemed to take things too far. this time would be different. this time, he would use the elation of vacation as a way to balance out the pain.
