Splashing Around in My Own Sea of Tranquility

As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today

What is the dominant emotion in your life right now?

It’s not really an emotion, but the dominant state of mind in my life right now is tranquility.

For the most part, my anxiety has been very much under control lately. That is not to say that I don’t get anxious. In fact, just as I was getting ready to go to my allergist appointment, I thought that I’ve lost my wallet. I began sweating, I started breathing heavy and I guess I started a panic bit. Fortunately, for me, I did find my wallet in my car, and I was running a few minutes late for the appointment. – which really is more due to the fact that I misread my GPS before leaving.

Things are relatively stable in my life right now. It’s taken me a long time to get here. The boys are doing well. Things are civil with both X1 and X2 at the moment. Even work is going pretty well. I may look for a new position for next school year, but for now, I can’t complain.

I think – maybe more than anything else – what has me in a state of tranquility is that things are going well with Veronica. And a lot of ways I feel like her and I are matching each other, as far as our commitment and how serious were taking things. We were both taking things very casual for a long time. Even now it’s getting more serious, but I feel at least like it’s happening organically. It’s not being forced and I think by taking things as casually as we have, but we managed to circumvent the whole “intense honeymoon phase” of a relationship.

I don’t know if she’s “the one”. Hell, I don’t know if there even is a such thing as “the one” anymore. I guess what I’m trying to say most of all is that things are happening, and I really hate to use this cliché, “without the drama”.

All of this has been a long time in the making. I’ve needed some order, some column, some tranquility in my life for a very long time.  I think I’ve reached the point, even within myself internally, where I’m no longer interested in putting myself in overly complicated situations.
