I got to talk to an old friend today. It was great I haven't talked to him in a while and it made me realize how much I miss him. All we talked about was books, history, and theater. He made me realize how much I need to get out and back into the academia scene. For a while I was doubting myself, that because I was so depressed for such a long time I haven't been interested in those things for a while, but it only goes to prove that I DO love those things. And that that's what I love to discuss and have my life revolve around.
It's given me a boost of confidence.
