Immeasurable Excitement

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

Define excitement? It’s been so long since I’ve experienced this mistrustful emotion filled with false hope of “what if’s” and “could be’s” to no avail.

Ive learnt to store this feeling in the deep abyss of my being as to prevent myself from falling victim to its clutches of pretence.

Oh but to be young and dream without narry a fear, free of life’s cruel deceitful ways. To cling to hope like an infant to it’s mother. To believe and be driven by the immeasurable excitement you feel for life.

Many would think me pessimistic but I prefer to be a known as a realist – seeing the world before me without rose coloured glasses.

However, for the sake of the prompt, let me delve into the void and share with you the last time I gave in to this fateful feeling.

There I was listening to his voice on Discord not even aware of the magic that he was working within my heart but I clung hungrily to each syllable that dripped from his lips. Like a lost puppy I followed him faithfully eager to trust and excited at the thought of being with him.

With each passing day my excitement grew; driven by the thought of being in his arms and embraced by his love. Laughter became the drug that drove my soul making me eager to join him time and time again for my next fix.

I gave in to the excitement allowing myself a moment of fearlessness despite my instincts to run and I am happy to report that it was well worth the risk. Now we push each other daily driven by our mutual motivation to succeed and one day build a life together.

Not what you were expecting?

Me neither.
