There’s a point where it’s almost perfect, where a thread of numb slides across my lips, and I can still think but I don’t give a shit too much. Nothing is latched on, nothing is trying to come out. I’ve achieved an entirely delicate and exquisite balance.

I want it to last forever, but it lasts for seconds.

Love to all. Even you.

    Yes, but sometimes, the seconds/minutes last longer than you expected.

    THAT is where the joy is REALLY found.

    That’s why people meditate, and do drugs, isn’t it? Chasing that perfect haze.

    I edited the title to reflect that I was actually writing about my alcoholism, and the fleeting moments it provided. You people are just too damn astute for me.

    But the fleeting moments aren’t worth the wreckage, right…?

    the real trick is achieve that perfect haze without destroying yourself or those you love in the process.

    the thing I chase is that haze where I lose track of time because I’m so engrossed in what I’m doing. Is that the same thing?
