Digging through the trenches of sobriety. Teetotaler. Conjures images of doing good deeds. Religious. Right path training. Always on foot. Dry. Fleeting; boring; resolute banality.
Funny, the opposite is true. My thoughts are bright and clear and loud in my head, but I have less of a need to broadcast them, or to cross words with people.
There are all sorts of people out there who I might easily disagree with, but the point, maybe, is to learn from them instead. To understand where they're coming from, whether I'm coming from a similar place, and if so, why, or if not, why not. To try for a degree of empathy, both externally and internally. Translation = having some patience is a hard thing. Especially when I get emotional about an issue, for instance, or have the urge to say something.
