Feeling high (without drugs)

by Shang Lee

Migraine – the aftermath. I always feel lighter. In fact, after any illness I always feel lighter. I hate it when I have to go through any illness, but thank goodness none has lasted long. The day might come when there could be an illness which I can never recover from, but hey, I’ll just have to take it when it comes. I say this now with so much courage, but I know I’ll be scared shit when it really comes…

Anyway, without looking too far ahead into the future, let’s just enjoy this unbearable feeling of lightness. I was on such a high today that nothing seemed to be able to spoil it. I just had a silly smile stuck on me for the rest of the day. I was jumping up and down, playing the piano, carrying a happy tune wherever I walk. I spent a whole morning browsing for books at a bookstore, looking at toys at a toy store. Had lunch at a Japanese pasta place. Didn’t do much retail therapy but still felt happy.

The good mood started to fizzle out in the afternoon though. Then I went running. Did a 3 km run. Did some Tai Ji by the beach. Finished off with a Thai style chicken rice while watching Bedtime Stories.

I should feel like this all day, everyday. It’s a choice isn’t it? :)
