Screw it. If you suddenly wake up smiling, then do it. I'm giving you some time off from your regularly scheduled misery. Listen to Appetite for Destruction so loud your ears wince and you arrive out of breath at the office from walking too fast. Sit at bars and carry on silly conversation with newfound friends and don't worry so much about missing dinner. Put aside the writing, the reading, the reminiscing. Forget you-know-what and who-know-whom and you-know-where. Ignore the darkening evenings, the ominous chill. Revel in soft skin and soft hearts, in how good a real proper laugh feels, all the way from your gut, through your teeth, into the air.
However long it lasts, enjoy it. You can think about it later. You will think about it later. Vacations aren't forever. Enjoy it, for all it's worth.
