Trust it again,&lt;br /&gt;
for it is kind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let comfort convey.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: 9.0pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_286310906&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_286310907&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The right attitude? &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/IDGAS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;IDGAS&lt;/a&gt;. I really do not GAS. I am tired of being constrained and restrained by S. Life is not work and work is not life. Strange how a week away from the S gives such a fresh perspective. You do not like me: IDGAS. I do not care for you so IDGAS. I will stop GAS as much as I can--reality: not GAS is a true punk attitude., which circumstances prevent me from adopting wholeheartedly; however, not GAS&#39;ing a bit means breaking somewhat free, and somewhat is a start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: 9.0pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: 9.0pt; margin: 0in;&quot;&gt;
Am I hypomanic? Do not think so. Am I taking my meds? Yes I am--I even stopped the ones that would hide-side me. I consider this a new high, an old high, a long-overdue high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

We, once hearth, like embers pulled, die apart.&lt;br /&gt;
