And in that moment he realized,
this is exactly what he’d been searching for all along,
yet never knew could exist until that moment.
He was … happy.
The years of uncertainty;
the nights of loneliness;
the reckless decisions;
the irrational moments of fleeting triumph;
it all made sense now.
And from the vantage point of retrospect,
all seemed necessary so that he could be exactly where he was:
Happy.
We’ll all get there.
