Someone, somewhere, said relief is one of the best feelings. I’m not sure where I saw or heard that, but I’ve had it in mind. I’ve had it in mind since I had no money, and now I have some money, and I am relieved. Is it the best feeling though? Yes and no.
Maybe it’s not in this case because I have a bit of money, but I don’t have money. Or to put it another way, my money problems haven’t been solved, they’ve moved from the acute back to the chronic. So maybe what I’m feeling is only partial relief, and no one, anywhere, said partial relief is one of the best feelings.
And yet it is a good feeling. I feel lighter, and I smiled whilst listening to music for the first time in months yesterday. This post, though, is the last in this three-parter. And in saccharin storytelling style I am ending it with relief, partial though it may be. I’ve got a bit of money and I feel able to face the world, I can look out instead of in, for a while at least.
And tomorrow I’m going to film something of my own, with my friend Rose, for the first time in quite some time.
