Drug-induced normalcy(?)

 

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for over a year and recently (within the last few months) started taking a generic version of Ritalin. I’ve got to admit…I almost feel normal1. I feel that I can now see things that I could not see before. Prior to taking medication…I felt I was in perpetual youth mode with no sense of there being a future (and certainly no sense of a future that has consequences based on present action). I’m now starting to see this…I’m now starting to really see the connections (and starting…though in only small ways right now) between the actions of “now” and the future.

1. To be a bit more accurate, I’m beginning to feel like what I think is normalcy. I don’t really know what it is. I can only guess.
