Balancing the Coin II

In terms of my never-ending quest to stave off chronic melancholy, this year has thusfar been a step in the right direction. Some things have been really bad, and some things have been really good. Overall, everything feels... Manageable. Sustainable perhaps. Something which has certainly not been the case in the past. The coin is balanced, for now. The question is, when will it topple, and what will I do then?

Of course, it may stay upright, but assuming that to be the case seems naïve. I'm endeavouring to make the most of the positives, and allow myself to enjoy them as deeply as I allow myself to wallow in misery. As for the negatives, I am similarly endeavouring to change those, because when the coin is balanced, changing the bad things feels achievable. It will naturally be difficult and painful in many cases, but front-loading some of the discomfort will be more than worthwhile.

I am genuinely hopeful that it's only going to get better from here.
