Tonight, I got the chance to sit-in during an AA meeting. This room of 9 people, for the lack of a better phrase, managed to tug at my heartstrings. Their feelings were so palpable and I couldn’t help but to wish I had my journal handy to jot down some of my own thoughts while listening to their experiences. I think I’d really like to purchase their book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. At the meeting, we read a few passages, and I realized it isn’t just for alcoholics. It’s for any human being who has ever felt they had lost control to, say, an instinct, misleading thoughts, emotions, or to themselves as a whole.

I can’t explain how overwhelmed I feel with how much I want to write. But for now, it can wait. Overall, my day has gone really well.
