Hey, I know this tune

I'm 2 weeks and 4 days fully sober. This is the longest I've gone without substance or alcohol since about 2 years prior, and it's all so satisfying. I remember who I used to be. It's who I am again.

Grass, sand under my feet, sunbeams on the ocean, jumping over and around things, running as fast as I can with my eyes closed, conversing with my parents, cheap food in the park, Aqueous Transmission in the rain, climbing, laughing uncontrollably, driving windows-down, reaching pitches just right, clickclickclicking, used pencils, pastel, calling pockets, touching trees, strangers, meetings, desire, danger; all of it's so strikingly vivid.

And it's all describable.

"I won't feel the pull of the coming day
or the compromise of sleep
'cause I've got a fire on the soles of my feet."
