Bathed in the blood of the moon

Phew, that blood moon was invigorating.
I feel pure and new, a freshly molted arthropod, all ready to skitter on with my life.
Normally I would stay home, undisturbed, and make a ceremony of it, but I was forced to..
leave the house and socialize.
And you know what? I kinda liked it. What is this new thing?
Parties are supposed to give me anxiety and make me feel trapped.
I've been struggling to overcome a lot of obstacles, physical obviously, but an overwhelming amount of them are mental obstacles.
Enjoyment has been hard to come by these days, as I've come to realize that I just simply don't like anything anymore.
Since I am not in complete control of my life, I do not get to choose all aspects of my life, and I do not like the assortment I've been given, because I didn't choose it. (or at least anticipate it)
But you know what I DO get to choose?

I can choose to accept the cards I have been dealt, I can choose which cards to discard, and best of all, I can choose to just appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to play in the game of life.

That's today's mantra, kiddos! Now repeat that five times and all your sad feelies will disappear!
